Damn these are personal questions!! but I will answer! This is a VERY short version.
I actually blogged about this on my blog once so I'll be just repeating something I've told before (so nothing too personal here). I come from a VERY well off but strict family. I couldn't do anything living in my parents house. I came across the word escort while flipping through the phone book and at that point I thought it was REALLY just going out to dinner
. I then started seeing words like GFE and researched it. I researched the business for 2 years before I got in. The only reason was I wasn't of age yet (almost legal but not quite) and I wanted to wait to move out of my family's house to do anything like that.
When I moved out on my own 2 years later (actually moved in with a roomate), I was working a 9-5 job living like a broke college student. Almost comfortable but not quite. I was surfing the web and came across an ad for webcam modeling and thought "Wait.. I can make $2,000 a week being a webcam girl and all I need is just a webcam and computer". At this point, I was poorer than poor and needed money and felt there was no way to go but up.
My support system had been cut off so I was just living day to day. I researched webcam modeling for a week. By the time I did this, joined the cam girl forums, I knew almost everything to know about the camgirl industry. So I took the plunge. I worked for a certain site and received my check every two weeks, when I saw my first check ($3,000 for two weeks of work doing private sex shows)- it was one of the happiest days of my life. Now if anyone here knows anything about the webcam industry, you know that back in the day the girl took home big money. I started working as an online webcam model during the time it was booming (Today the ladies still make good money but there is a lot more competition). I continued to work as a cam model for a year and a few months, saved A LOT of money.
By this time I had forgot all about escorting, I live in North Carolina where the cost of living is low $1,500-$2,000 a week webcamming was A LOT of money for someone my age so I kept at it. The webcam business is not a set paycheck. If you don't work, you don't get paid and there are not benefits (like 401k, medical insurance..etc) so there were weeks when I wouldn't even make $1,500 - but 900 (still good money for a gal in the carolinas). It was just like any other job, If you don't put in a full 35 to 40 hours you won't see the benefits of it.
One day while putting on my makeup to get on cam, I thought of escorting. I remember all the research I had done years back while still living with my parents and all the ladies I admired. Funny though they were Tess Eloise, Holly Brooks, Brooks St. James and Amy Taylor
. I wanted to see what the high end escorting business was like but I knew I couldn't just jump into it myself. So I googled until I found an agency VIP agency (one of the best in the carolinas). I also came across an ad saying they were hiring. I called but I would call and hangup, call and hangup because I was too scared, too nervous and then finally got an appointment with the Agency lady. I called again one day and apologized for hanging up on her and told her I wanted to be an escort and we met at a local cafe - she told me all about it. I loved that the agency I picked was VERY organized, the madam wasn't too friendly but after the interview that day I went on my first call the next day (The best experience EVER!!!!) The guy was very good looking and super sweet to me. I was sooo nervous but ever since then I've been hooked. I shortly moved into a beautiful condo here in Charlotte.
I made a five year plan and worked for the agency for 6 months, my story would be longer if I went into why I quit the agency but it's not necessary. I made a killing with the agency while still working as a webcam model part-time and then finally decided to go independent later. Twas the best decision I've ever made. All the guys have been super sweet to me - I've had one or two appointments that made me sick to my stomach
but the good, clean, sweet guys I've had as clients outnumber any bad experience I've had as an agency girl/indy. Being an escort is what you make of it. I've always loved my job. I was told that a lot of girls can't do this job without alcohol or drugs and I've been able to beat that stereotype. It can be a glamourous job. It has been fun. Hands down one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life.
Today I make my living as an escort and web designer. I've also been helping ladies get into the business for almost 3 years. Was I abused? No. Came from a wonderful family. How was the environment? Strict but was well taken care of and wanted to be rebellious. Was a man/woman a contributing factor? No. I was too much of a shutin anyway to ever let people that close to me. I got into this on my own. My entering the business was more a financial decision than anything. I was having sex for free and felt -- hey I'm hot - why not get paid for it?
