AMA. I think it'll be therapeutic for me as I'm totally baffled as to why I'm doing it

Do you have sex with your clients?

OP, I hope you are OK. It's late and the tone of your post makes me worry that you may not be.
Would you recommended this line of work to a female family member such as a little sister or your mother? If not, I hope you find a way to exit and that the circumstances which led you to explore escorting as an income stream change to make your life easier.
And Big, less of the "just", please. How rude and unnecessary.

I'm a night owl, there isn't anything weird about the time I post stuff.
No I've never felt like I'm in danger. And no I'd never recommend it to anyone I know

@Bigballer

Are you an actual escort or just a prostitute?

Explain the difference? I think escort is just a nicer way of saying prostitute. I get paid a lot. I don't feel proud of what I do. But the way I started doing it doesn't sit right with me

What do you mean by, "the way I started doing it doesn't sit right"? Were you coerced in any way? I see you also say you chose it, so I'm a little confused.

If you're unhappy with what you're doing, stop doing it. I know that's not easy when the money is good, but your mental health is more important.

I sounded curt in my reply to you. Sorry. I'm kind of not ok which is why I posted this. Thank you for being nice and yes when I sort out another income I won't do it

I don't want to go into details as it's too outing. But basically met a lovely new man, thought I was having a 'fun time' which I was happy with and it's morphed into escorting. Which makes me sound really dim.

You're not dim.

Are drugs involved? Are you being pimped in any way - do you keep all your money?

The party line is that we enjoy it and it's a hobby. I shouldn't have posted anything as it's very outing. Thank you to anyone who has contributed. I definitely need to get out of this situation

Some people not unreasonably take the euphemism at face value, and think that escorts are paid to escort their clients to cocktail bars, to accompany them to the ballet and to pose as their tall, slender, glamorous, intellectual date at dinner parties, and then to go home to their own bed with £1k in their handbag.

(I don't actually think that job exists. I think it's more straightforward just to say prostitute to avoid misunderstanding.)

Talk to Women's Aid, or Scot-PEP if you're in Scotland, similar projects may exist elsewhere. Ask on SAAFE.

saafe.info/main/index.php

You're obviously unhappy and need something to change - ditch the "lovely new man" for starters.

Thanks. If I didn't feel shit before!
