Choice not circumstance!

Entry for May 04, 2006

To say that I first started in this business at 31 surprises some. It is assumed that this type of work is more a lifestyle rather than a business. I wonder why that is. Do lawyers hang out in courtrooms in their off time watching the playoffs? Do teachers invite their neighbours to their classrooms to sit in child sized chairs and fingerpaint while downing a 2-4? Do police officers drive their cruisers with their lights on racing through red lights to donut shops in their off time just to get the free coffee and freshest doughnuts? Ok, maybe that one I can see!

My point is, why can this not be a career? Something that like most other careers is totally separate from your personal life? Is it because there is no post secondary institution that teaches you how to be an escort? (Hmmm, now that would be a great business venture!). It takes a certain something to be successful in this business that you just can’t learn from studying a text. You have to know people. How to read them, respond to them and anticipate their needs without them being verbalized.

You m,ust be confident in yourself both sexually and mentally. And most importantly you must never judge those you meet. You need not look like America’s top models, nor do you need to be porn star material. But you do need to know who you are and have the ability to separate the physical and the emotional. And above all, you must be yourself (under a different name of course!). So here I am at 31 with a full time job and a career.

I am a business woman, it just so happens that most of my business is done with older gentlemen who like my company. Most business women may look down on me and my career, but only out of jealousy I think! My job is fun. I am my own boss and make my own hours. My overhead is very low and can be purchased once a month at your local drug store (or if you’re smart like me once every 6 months at Costco). I get complimented daily, every once in awhile even a small gift is handed to me.

My bills are always paid in advance even if I only work 10 hrs a week. And I can honestly say if I am ever cranky it is not because of sexual frustration! I feel better about myself now than I ever have and I know I am a better person because of what I do for others. How lucky I am to have stumbled upon this great adventure, and I am just getting started!
