Making a Living

[Guest083011]

As DG noted, and this is Biz 101, you must continue to cultivate new clients while keeping current clients happy. Word of mouth is tough except for on forums like eccie. It's not like we can hang out at the water cooler going "Hey Bob, last night I just banged a smokin' hot provider who is touring our area. You should go dip your wick too. Tell her I sent ya." Ummm no. Gentleman do move on looking for "strange."

A couple years back I had two regular gentlemen who worked together as clients. One recommended me to the other. Apparently they did do a little water cooler bragging, because invariably, three or four days after I saw one, the other would email me to schedule.

It was unusual.

I miss those guys, and not only because one of them was really fond of my toes.

Most of what one would expect, although what jumped out to me were the 2 classes of "drivers" - I guess one could fairly infer ANYONE who spends a great deal of time on the roads is at higher risk

often prostitutes are omitted either for lack of credible data or the author prefers not to list them

I imagine drug runners have high death rate as well...

From that article:

"However, there are substantial differences in rates of victimization between street prostitutes and indoor prostitutes who work as escorts, call girls, or in brothels and massage parlors [4]."

Don't get too complacent, that's per year.

FYI, it's a little uncouth to ask strangers about their financial affairs, no matter what business they're in. I know you're probably just curious, but remember that, in general, the same rules of etiquette from "the real world" apply here too. Keep in mind that we also don't know you -- you could be a lady looking to enter the biz, or you could be the IRS. And anyone could be reading!

Personally, yes, this has been a very sound financial decision for me, and when I'm actively working, I'm happy with the number of gentlemen I see. But unless you're my accountant, that's about as detailed as I'll get.

I am sure anyone without experience is curious as to what the actual income levels can be in this biz, but I totally agree that to jump in here, when no one knows you are and ask for finacnial details is inappropriate. That said, this is the ultimate vehicle for an entrepenuer and it's all up to you. So much of it depends on your personailty, ability to travel and what else you are doing with your time. Every woman I have met and connected with has another endeavor, whether it's a creative project, school, or a professional career. If you want fluidity in your life and are capable of balance, and, very important, are comfortable going outside of what normal society deems acceptable, this could be a good choice.

yes because the indoor prostitutes get married guys as lovers and then get tortured psychologically! Or banged for free ! That is indeed similar in effect and not nearly as punishable as physical violence!! hahahaha :-) (and no i don`t consider young women on the same stage of responsibility like old men, so the consensual crap does not apply imho...so if some of them are naive and don`t know the drill yet, its STILL abuse :-)....)

Prostitution may have the highest rate among women. The list PJ provided is male dominated professions.

per your link;
Violence against prostitutes especially affects female prostitutes, who are at risk of violent crime, [1] as well as possibly at higher risk of occupational mortality than any other group of women ever studied.

!

I hate to say it Ms nina who gets my panties wet but the above is somewhat misleading. Most women, not just escorts, are murdered by someone close to them. While prostitution has its risks it is not up there with the most dangerous per mortality rate.

Not mixing your incall with your actual home is spot on advice though along with not leading your client on into thinking the relationship is something more than it is. Malcomb Gladwell in his last book had a chapter on street prostitution that you might find intresting. Scratch that it is not Gladwell's book it is another that does extensive studies on false givens. Here it is, Superfreakonomics
