The show 'Escorts' on Netflix is eye opening

£500 for an hour
£500 for one of the escorts to go to a pub lunch with a client, no intercourse involved.
2 young women in their 20s, who can make 6 grand a week.
I would never do it, but when you work full time hours and they make in 1 week what I make in 3 months. Or what some people would make in 6.
Still, they claim to love it on the show but who knows what it's really like. They may get taken advantage of a lot.

Has anybody watched the show? Or know anybody that's done this?

Men do pay 100s for lunch with women don't be so naieve yes they apy 100s and 1000s for more but paying 500 for lunch with a girl happens just cos you don't live in that world doesn't mean it doesn't exist

@Airfriedpotatowitch I’ve already said on this thread that I worked as an escort for several years followed by working at the agency itself. Men do not pay £500 for lunch with a girl, it simply doesn’t happen. The only occasion they would approach an escort/ escort agency for this is if they were auctioning her via 1 or 2 dates before getting her to agree to be his “girlfriend” - X amount of meets per month, sex always expected during those meets, normally she would not be allowed to meet other men during this time and she’d be paid a retainer.

This was the exact scenario in the TV show

@Sisisimone His girlfriend?? 🤣🤣 I'm a married woman of almost sixty! He's not gay and certainly not spun me any tales. Sorry to disappoint 🤣

Just cos it doesn't happen in your world and your previous job doesn't mean it doesn't happen as said before £500 is nothing to a lot of people it does happen

I thought her attitude towards men and pregnancy was disgusting.

Rich people are not stupid though.

Ive seen it . The blonde girl runs her own escort site now . I looked up the name she floated for it in the doc and it's up & running. I used to live next door to a guy who used escorts. He was elderly, not into personal hygiene & creepy to boot. I used to see these beautiful girls all under 30 regular as clockwork every week & feel sorry for them. (£100 for half an hour so he said).

Agree with you. 100% to someone who has a disposable income £500 is nothing at all. I've got a friend that has been on random dates and been given a few hundred and never seen the man again after dinner (man never contacted again). No sex involved.

@thelastshadowpuppet there is absolutely nothing glamorous about getting paid to open your legs for some total stranger 🤮

Yes, a drunken one site stand with no money changing hands is so much more glamorous.

RenegadeMatron · 22/06/2022 22:07

it's not just women who are escorts.

That’s hardly some sort of searing insight, @Norgie …?

Besides. Men, on the whole, are bigger and stronger than women. Male escorts are onto a cushy number.

They’re not at the same risk of violence, they’re not at risk of rape, and they’re not at risk of pregnancy.

So not really sure what telling us male escorts exist (no shit) adds to the discussion?

Why do you think male escorts are not at risk of violence and rape?
And of course traumatizing for women but a cushy number for men🤔

Absolutely agree. About the one night stand many people say they have done it (drunkenly) and regularly nobody bats an eye lid!

My mum says this... only difference is people are giving it away for free on a Saturday night.

Conversely re the ons comparison, that’s a mutual choice rather than transacting sex.

Totally different because the defining feature of sex work/prostitution is exchanging access to your body for cash rather than purely because you fancy them or chemistry built up and both parties freely going for it even as strangers.

It’s not difficult to understand that they’re inherently different things.
