Is escorting worth it?

Sounds extreme but considering this if I can’t get a job in a month or so because I’m so fed up of having to watch everything and feel like I get punished for treating myself. Sounds childish I know but my headspace seriously needs a boost. Obviously this won’t be my first choice but if things don’t change then choice is out of the question. Obviously I wouldn’t do the extras just dinner dates and girlfriend experience etc

here’s why I’m considering it
*extra money for me and my family.
*can treat myself more to boost my mood.
*can afford the work I need done.
*help me get over this past few years.
*get to relive my youth by going to fancy bars and restaurants also save up for travel.
*if things go shit with my family and in laws the money can go towards daycare or if me and hubby need a break.
*pontentially more opportunities in life.
*feel more wanted and useful. Also it will get rid of my low self worth.

I’ve heard of escorts just doing dates and nothing else

They are lying.

The shortcut is always the longest road.

Make some money now and spend a lifetime with the consequences of having been a prostitute.

wizzywig · 01/02/2025 20:56

I'd be embarrassed if I couldn't get customers . Maybe that's just me

There's no such thing as an escort that doesn't have sex otherwise we'd all be doing it 😂

Agreed,fancy dinners, cocktails,a peck on the cheek and £200 better off for your troubles.
I don't think so somehow.

Ethylred · 01/02/2025 20:58

Escort is a euphemism for prostitute. Nothing else.

You must have an extremely high opinion of yourself to think men will pay Good money just to chat to you. LOL.

Grammarnut · 01/02/2025 20:58

Allowing yourself to be prostituted will not improve your self-worth, nor will it make you feel good about yourself or help your family. Don't even consider it.

MrsSethGecko · 01/02/2025 20:59

@Guineapiggywiggy my life is much better now, thank you!

MMO · 01/02/2025 20:59

Not sure what you actually think escorting is or where you got the information from.....

The point of the job is sex. That's what 'escorts' do. It's a 'posh' word for prostitution.

Richiewoo · 01/02/2025 21:02

It's prostitution. Nobody just goes on dates. They all do the extras!!

SushiWarrior · 01/02/2025 21:03

@Hoolihan came here to say the exact same thing. Very naive OP

Do you seriously think men or punters want to pay for the dinner/girlfriend experience?
Costing them more money.
It's cut throat out there with the sex industry, people who are willing to do anything, all of the extras.
It is a terrible idea.
Most men will treat you like property in the situation.

PermanentTemporary · 01/02/2025 21:03

Don't do it.

Talk about what has led you to think this might be an option that looks better than where you are now?

OP has a young baby, a partner, and periodically posts bobbins on MN about how she needs to get plastic surgery so she can make money from online content creation and modelling. She has a visual disability and has never had a job. If her family fall out with her in laws she's going to put her son into care. Her posts are pretty recognisable.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 01/02/2025 21:05

I won’t be having sex with strangers. Just dates and payment. 😆

LeticiaMorales · 01/02/2025 21:05

That just confirms what I said upthread - please get help.

OonaStubbs · 01/02/2025 21:06

I'm sure lots of people would become an escort if it was just about going for nice meals with rich men.

RitaFromTheRanch · 01/02/2025 21:06

Dearie me.

Just dates.

Saturdaynightlive · 01/02/2025 21:07

Escort = full service sex worker. I used to be a 'phonegirl' for a group of women.
GFE in the industry means basic full service appointment. So foreplay, & sex with no extras.

Lilliea · 01/02/2025 21:08

The reason this is considered 'legal' is because men cover the cost of the 'dinner/company' part. That’s why it’s framed as 'going out for dinner/gf experience'. In reality we all know theres an expectation that sex follows. Sex work disguised as a casual dinner date. Can't claim prostitution because the"I didn’t pay for sex, she chose to sleep with me after I paid for her company at dinner" excuse would follow.

@MrsSethGecko 💐
So sorry you, or anyone, had to go through that. Hope you're in a better place now 💕
