Describe your first professional sexual experience, including what happened, how you felt, what you were thinking, how you felt afterward.
My very first client was originally a client of my madam when I worked for Cachet Companions. That made me feel so much safer and less nervous to know that he was a nice guy and kind of what to expect. I remember planning the outfit all day long, down to every detail and being nervous, but very excited while driving to the date.
He met me in the lobby and thankfully stood up and smiled at me so I knew it was him. We sat down at a secluded table to chat and get to know each other better. We ended up having a lot to talk about, which made me less nervous and more looking forward to the rest of the evening.
After talking for a bit, we headed up stairs. He followed all of the “rules”, was very polite and put me at ease. I remember thinking, “Wow, this is better and easier than I thought.” And I was shocked when I looked at the clock and saw that the night was winding down. When I was getting my things and leaving he kept commenting on how great of chemistry we had and how he couldn’t wait to see me again. I knew at that moment that I was right, I would be very good at this!
At what age did you entertain the first (serious) thoughts of going into sex work?
When I was 22 the idea popped into my head, but I tried it push it aside. I just knew I would be good at it and I was over traditional dating. Once my current career began to really bore me, the idea came back and then I decided to look into it more.
What made you decide to enter the line of work you’re in?
I always knew in my heart that I would be good at something like this. I love making others feel great and get a thrill when I leave someone breathless. My father always told me to do something I love. I am not quite sure that this is what he had in mind, but it is something I love to do- and never feels like work.
So, in about December/January of this past year, I began researching online to figure out more about the industry. I found an escort that I liked- her site presented herself in a light I enjoyed and I just felt connected to her. So, I emailed her asking for her assistance, advice and help on how to enter the industry. I didn’t want to offend or bother her, so when I got a reply back, I was thrilled!
We ended up exchanging a few emails and meeting for coffee. She took me under her wing and then explained that she wanted to open an agency and wanted to know if I would work for her. I jumped at the chance and worked for Cachet Companions for a few months. Once I got the swing of things, I knew I wanted to be independent, so left Cachet and began working on my own site.
What do you enjoy most about your work?
I enjoy making new connections and meeting new people. The relationships work wonderfully for me. I am able to date, without all of the drama and issues in normal relationships. I think my clients like that too! This career has given me freedom and the ability to focus on other things that I love. I am less stressed, happier and looking forward to seeing where this journey takes me.
What do you like the least about your work?
I am normally an extremely honest person. Lying to everyone around me is hard. With all of the lies and cover-up that I have to do to protect myself, you end up distancing yourself from your friends and family a bit, which can be hard. Finding that perfect balance is something that will come in time. I am getting there though!
Does your family know what you do? If so, what do they think?
No one in my family has any idea what I am doing. They would all be horrified and not understand. People outside of this business think that being an escort is unsafe. But, in escorting I use more precautions than regular dating! I also don’t think many people in my family and many of my friends would understand that this works for me. People see me extremely happy now but I am sure their view of my happiness would change if they knew what I was doing. I also want to protect them from the backlash that could occur if everyone knew!
How much longer do you think you’ll do what you’re doing now, and what are your plans for when you quit? If you’ve already left, what made you decide to leave and what did you decide to do for work when you left?
I will continue this line of work until I have a great amount of money saved or until I am burned out. I would never be able to do a half-assed job- I put my heart and soul into my relationships with the men I meet and I wouldn’t want to give them anything less than that. My plan after is to work for a non-profit that works with women and children. I would also love to get married, have kids and travel!
If you had to go back and tell your younger self (mid to late teens) that you’d be doing what you’re doing now (assuming you’re still working in the sex industry), what do you think your younger self would say about it?
My younger self might be a little shocked, but most likely would get it. Like I have said before, I have known I would be good at something like this.
What advice would you give someone who was looking to get into your line of sex work?
Do a ton of research before even dipping your toes into the business. Read books, research online and talk to women in the industry. If you go in blind, you could risk everything! Read up on how to protect yourself, how to screen clients, where to advertise/where NOT to advertise, etc. Don’t be afraid to ask questions- there are no dumb questions at all!

Thank you for sharing your story – great read. And I’m so happy for you!
Hi Danielle,
FYI, reading this post was what made me want to contact you in the first place. I love your honesty and how you treat your men. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Danielle,
It was great reading your post. Lots of informative material. I was wondering if you make the decisions on what acts you perform with your clients or does the agency require you to do certain things that you don’t particularly want to do? I am only curious. I live too far away to hire you and I am an advocate for the legalization of the industry so there is nothing to fear from a legal aspect. I have wondered about this for some time now and I would be delighted if you could respond (without giving away any confidential information of course)
Hi Mike,
I thankfully became friends with Ava at Cachet before out working relationship began. I set my limits and she respected them. One of the rules I had was no dates under 2 hours, which I think helped me weed out the less than stellar clients. That gave me less work of course, but was my own personal limit. I am vey lucky that I was able to work with someone that I trusted and didn’t have to put myself in a position where I was forced to do anything! I think that helps me enjoy my career so much more!
Thanks for your comments and question.
Danielle
