That’s if we want to avoid answering the claim (most of the time best course of action).

And also when you have more constructive things to do with your time than try to change the views of somebody who is so entrenched they are never going to listen or agree with you. And to be fair, they're as entitled to their beliefs as I am, and I have no right to tell another adult what to think.

Actually, I'd happily agree that it's easy but then I used to work 12 hour continental shifts. Shagging is a piece of piss compared with that :D

Sex work is always referred to as “fast” money while this is somewhat true I believe it’s led people to equate this to the profession being easy.

I believe people see escort documentaries on the likes of channel 4 and are disillusioned by the average sex workers earnings.These escorts who are making thousands per client I know one or two but wish people would realise these girls make up not even about 5 percent of escorts I’ll bet and they are very rare and very well connected hence why they earn a lot. There’s not many girls out there who make thousands per hour.     

Escorting also involves a lot of risks financial, physical and mental risks to be precise. People don’t realise how much time you need to invest in this job. I put in more than 40 hours a week screening clients, scouting workable locations, improving my advertising and seeing clients as I’m high volume. And even with that I’m not making 6 - 10 grand a day like channel 4 would have you believe. Nowhere near that.

It's a bit like show business "the show must go on".
It's theatre, its acting, its selling, its shop window display, its advertising, its communication skills.
Its work, its good work, bit like social work  :)
Its my part time job.

Many people including clients/punters think it's sitting around, customers walking in.

Others do recognise it as a business.

Luckily worst I have had is prejudice, barriers to other work and training courses, accusations that I don't have any respect for my body.

So designing websites, spending 2 hours a day marketing yourself (twitter twatter and whatnot), picking up the phones and screening clients, customer service, answering clients emails and then there's the shagging part (that half of the time doesn't involve shagging but something else, like talk, massage or whatever)... Then get yourself an accountant file for self employed and keep receits/invoices of every thing. I'll stop there because I'm already exhausted.

If this is not work... WHAT IS IT?  ??? Sports? hobbie?  some extravagant occupation that makes you earn a living?------- (please fill in the blanks for me)

Mornings were made for sleeping, wild sex and bacon.

It’s because they think we are being pleasured and don’t realise it’s mentally and physically gruelling having sex with men you don’t fancy and would never touch in a month of Sunday’s if you weren’t getting paid  >:(

Their view is how hard is it to sit there having orgasms all day. If only they knew what we were really thinking.

Maybe that person who said that has not obviously experienced the smelly horrible demanding clients then. Because those type of clients certainly are hard work you could also get severe repetitive hand strain on certain bookings. Lol

So agree with this. And also the bruises on your body where they grab you. And they seem to think you don’t get sore down below. After two full days working I can hardly sit down and I’m aching all over. Including internally.

Actually i was thinking just this the other day. I have had several bruisings on my body mainly legs and boobs from clients grabbing too hard. One time i had 10 bruises on my legs and a couple on my boob. Have you noticed if they want to change position sometimes they just do not ask you but just grab you quite harshly and quick, to then flip you around?

I have had that happen several times resulting in bruises.

Does anyone else get the overzealous types who act as though they’ve never bust a nut or seen another person naked in their entirety? I mean those guys that have a crazed state in their eye and sweating puddles the minute you take your bra off and literally pulling, grabbing and latching on to you in the most clingy way possible straight away. Such a fucking turn off. Biggest turn off. Clingy and overzealous just makes my skin crawl.

Never been bruised but clients have thought bruises caused by very innocent things, twice lingerie once a steel boned corset to be inflicted by other punters or a controller.
