Becoming an escort

[MrsThompshon]

hello, obviously NC for this, I'm genuine though and so is my post. Firstly, I'm not looking for a sermon or to be advised against, so dont bother to reply if you are a moral police.
Following my divorce, I found myself in a bit of a financial mess. I have a full time job, I'm degree educated, the works. I just need to make few grand over the next couple months and there is no way I could do it by taking up a second job.
So if you are an escort/ sex worker here on mumsnet, please share some tips on how to start. I dont think I would want to go completely independent, can anyone just join an agency? I had a look at adultwork, but again, Im not sure where to start. any advice much appreciated.
not sure if it matters but I'm in London. Sexually liberated, late 30s, with a good (unpaid lol) sex life, so I wont have a problem to separate paid sex from my private life.

Not an escort or sex worker but have a couple of friends who do this and definitely not the moral police:-)
First off, you need to be honest with yourself over why you have money difficulties and NEED a few grand, if you have any issues with money becoming an escort won't fix them. Hopefully this is not you.
go to saafe.info and read several times.

Hi, many thanks for the reply.
I have a full time, relatively well paid job which otherwise would be more than sufficient for me. I also have a consistent career over the years. Money problems following my divorce are due to my ex debts, some in my name but I wasn't aware of. Subsequently my credit score is rather poor, which eliminates my chances for any other sources. The reason for divorce was DV so I hope you get the picture. I will check SAAFE, many thanks. Are you friends happy with their work?

A few years ago (OK 30 years ago) I worked in a drop in place where prostitutes could come for a cup of coffee and a safe place to relax.
One of their problems was the number of clients who wanted more than sex, I mean who wanted to hurt the girl. Many ended up in hospital and the attitude of the police was if it was a punter and he was paying you got what he paid for.

My advice is be very careful and make sure you are safe if you do become an escort.

Hi op, I'm an office manager in an escort agency. I'm not in the uk but i can give you an idea of how it works. You would caĺl the agency, have an interview, then a couple ot orientations and decide if you want to take calls. You would give us a schedule and we would take phone enquiries for you, check if you want to take it and confirm the bking. We have a cenrral office location for our service providers to work in. Think long and hard about doing it. You can fast become burnt out.

Hi MrsT, my friends are happy with their work but don't work for an agency they are independent. One started with an agency first.

There is a contributor on here named...Notthefordtype who is a sex worker/escort but works alone who may be able to advise you

30 years ago the attitude of the police was very different to today - I would just like to point that out. I’m wondering about your age? I tend to think of escorts as younger than late 30s.... however I imagine there’s a market for everything.

Op, I've just come across your post. I work in the office of an escort agency in London. If you still need any advice, then please feel free to get on touch.

1 See if you can go to a bar, pick out the least physically appealing man and have sex with him. This will indicate whether or not you could actually go ahead with servicing a punter.

2 Aim to be independent rather than employ an agency. The SAAFE site has lots of info on screening punters.

3 Hopefully your sense of smell isn't too keen, if it is, a dab of vicks up the nostrils can help.
