I?m a single parent and although I have a day job it?s minimum wage, so like most people money is tight. I have debts to pay off and anything extra is very much needed so I can get back on an even keel. I started doing webcam work a few months ago after a suggestion from a friend who?s in a similar industry (she?s an escort), and it?s helping me to pay off my debts and give me a bit of extra cash to treat my DC. I can?t do a second job outside the house as I have no evening childcare for my DC, so in that respect it?s ideal. At present I only work on the cams for approx. 3 hours on Friday and Saturday nights when DCs in bed and although there are some time wasters on the site I work from, most of the blokes are fine (with some interesting requests!) and I have a few regulars, one of which spends approx £40-50 a time when he has a show with me.

I know the moral majority won?t approve and will say that I?m being exploited, used, abused etc. but they are the ones paying a lot of money to see me put on a show, so surely it's the other way around! I just dress up, watch TV until a show is requested then do a bit of a dance and a strip tease and watch the money to stack up as the minutes pass - so who?s the fool?! I?m not a victim, as I choose to do this and actually enjoy the fact that these men are paying me to put on a show for them. They can?t touch me, have no idea where I live or even what my real name is, so it?s safe from that point of view, and if I don?t like them for any reason I can kick them out of my ?room?. Obviously I?ve only been doing it a few months and the novelty may wear off, but if things go well, my friend has suggested I could branch out into the odd bit of escorting as well to up my income a bit more.

AIBU doing this to make a bit of much-needed extra cash?

Mrspoc you do talk shite.

Chatelaine · 10/02/2011 16:05

Mr. Spock, that was super quick!!

meretrix · 10/02/2011 16:07

MrSpoc
I agree that escorting is to an extent safer than being on the streets. I never met an escort who was simply a companion for dates weddings and events, though.

There may well exist agencies who supply girls for that sort of thing, but I would imagine they'd be suburban model agency type places.

Any place that calls itself an Escort agency will be offering sex by the hour.

And for what it's worth, I think your input is useful. Discussions like this need someone to argue against the majority or debate is stifled.

MrSpoc · 10/02/2011 16:07

why jimmy? please expalin. we obviously do not get on but why do you feel the need to resort to childish drivel?

MrSpoc · 10/02/2011 16:09

Thanks Meretrix, i am not here to cause offence or to cause trouble. i honestly thought i could give advice to the op.

reluctanthomosapien · 10/02/2011 16:09

Mr Spoc , you said, "I do not think it is wrong to do this line of work." Therefore, I repeat my question, would you be happy for your wife to take up this line of work, if money was not the reason, but for the thrill of it?

meretrix · 10/02/2011 16:13

I'm not quite sure I accept the 'would you be happy if your wife/daughters did it' line of argument.

I would not be happy about my daughter joining the army. Doesn't mean I think it's wrong to do so.

MrSpoc · 10/02/2011 16:13

no I would not be happy. Why because sex is imprtant to us as a couple.

If she used to be an Ex Escfrot then i would not mind.

As i said previously i had signed up what i first met my wife. She knows and still got with me.

scurryfunge · 10/02/2011 16:16

If she used to be an ex-escort, does that mean she is an escort now? Grin

What do you not understand? LadyintheRadiator

I would not want her to do it now because it is sex with another person. we take this part of our marriage seriously. Do not get this wrong but if a person offered us £1,000 0000 to sleep with her i think both of us would have to think long and hard about it, hell i amy even do it for him.

Now if my wife did it before we were together or if we split up then i would not judge and be supportive.

Now i think this is very clear and you can understand the sensible reason why.

Lady-he is obviously half a sandwich short of a picnic.

MrSpoc · 10/02/2011 16:26

you have a different opinion to me that is fine.

As i said before there is a big difference to standing on a street corner and prostitution.

If my daughter came to me I would be supportive. if she said she is only doing it becasue she is in shit loads of debt then I would do what i can to help with sorting the debt but if she did it as a career choice then I would help her, do research with her, make sure she is prepared the best she can be. Hell I may even drive her if she asked for my security.

MrSpoc · 10/02/2011 16:27

Jimmy take your hooker stilletto shoes and jog on (in case you missed it i am on about your name).

scurryfunge · 10/02/2011 16:27

So, you would be her pimp too?

carmenelectra · 10/02/2011 16:28

Meretrix, just out of interest how did you cope with having sex with really unattractive men?

Were most of them married?And what did they mostly come for? Things they 'couldn't get' from their wife, or just more sex on the side? Just nosey!

MrSpoc · 10/02/2011 16:28

Ha ha yes Scurry and i would also take my 10% plus tips

JimmyChooChoo · 10/02/2011 16:30

I don't normally jog in my hooker heels but thanks anyway.
I pray to God you don't really have a daughter.
Infact I don't believe you have an OH.

ScarlettWalking · 10/02/2011 16:31

"supportive" Hmm

You really are talking shite aren't you?

MrSpoc · 10/02/2011 16:33

why do you say that scarlett? have you added any useful comments on this thread apart from trying to attack people?

meretrix · 10/02/2011 16:33

I realise this is a pedantic point, but being a driver is not the same as being a pimp.

scurryfunge · 10/02/2011 16:37

I know meretrix - just taking the pee out of our resident clown Grin
