Describe your first professional sexual experience, including what happened, how you felt, what you were thinking, how you felt afterward.
I had just joined the agency the day before and was pre-booked by the time I got home. The call was out-of-state and I was going to have a driver. I was living in Connecticut at the time so I had the car pick me up somewhere random because I was too nervous for him to even see my car. He was nice and our conversation was pleasant. (He was a full-time yellow-taxi driver who did this on the side because the agency charges clients an extra fee for the ride)
The home I went to was stunning. When we pulled up, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. He was waiting outside with a friend who left right away….I guess just in case I was a “freak”. Once I walked in the home, he was blushing because he couldn’t believe I was actually there. This was his first time calling an escort under the urgency of friends because he hasn’t been with a woman in a long time. He was a New-York-Italian who had a terrible accident on the clock while working for the city. He seemed pretty fine to me but it seems that his recovery process was long and tore his family apart. He was almost obsessed with the accident. Every conversation started with “Since my accident…” & “Ever since the accident…”, and he seemed so sweet but he couldn’t let it go.
We talked forever and he gave me a tour of his home. We had a little wine and went into his bedroom and before we knew it, our time was up and the agency called to tell me the driver was on his way. In the end, he gave me such a huge hug good-bye and thanked me.
When I saw what I was able to do for him, I knew it meant a lot more to him than I will know.
At what age did you entertain the first (serious) thoughts of going into sex work?
22- I had a full-time job outside the industry. I was on/off with the idea for a while.
What made you decide to enter the line of work you’re in?
I was barking up a hopeless tree with my job at the time, my boss hated me and it was just going no where. I did some body-double work for TV shows taped in NYC , which involved a lot of nudity, and I always enjoyed doing that more than my actual job. I wasn’t in a relationship at the time and thought I would try it. The stigma made it more appealing to me…I guess my curiosity got the best of me.
What do you enjoy most about your work?
I love the stories the most… from start to finish. I know its sounds like I am full of it but I really enjoy what I do. The things I have seen and the people I have met probably would have never normally crossed my path in any other setting.
What do you like the least about your work?
When my services are used to feed an addiction
Does your family know what you do? If so, what do they think?
No one knows what I do.
How much longer do you think you’ll do what you’re doing now, and what are your plans for when you quit?
I have goals in my life that I haven’t met yet. I plan on sticking to my passion and to be the best at it.
Describe your educational background.
I attended a private university in New York and have 3 certifications in the field that I am currently pursuing. I wish I can elaborate a little more but its really a specialized field.
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?
You will have more confidence now on how to handle yourself than you ever would.
What advice would you give someone who was looking to get into your line of sex work?
Be brave and be beautiful- always have someone watch your back and stick to your guns. They secretly like it more ;-)
