I don't consider prostitution as "a lot less work". I am a dancer and I don't think dancing and escorting are similar. I would never escort. This topic came up awhile ago.

I have knowledge of both so I'll try to answer.
Both require some of the same basic prep and hygiene beforehand. Stripping has the advantage of being legal and free of most legal problems. Extras in the club could cause some problems. Also the clubs provide security, and a safe environment to work in.
As an independent escort you have a little more freedom. Also just a few hours as an escort a night will earn more than most nights at the club.
The downside of stripping for me is dealing with the club management and drunk customers. The biggest problem with escorting is the legal issue, followed by the safely problem. Its only you and your client, so you need to screen carefully. Also you will be having some very intimate contact as an escort.
Which do I prefer? If it was legal I would be a full time escort. The money that can be made and the freedom is great. But I don't want any legal problems so I am a stripper.
Hi there. Just thought I would shed some insight. I was a stripper for 2 years before committing to escorting. It really worked for me. It much much less work for significantly higher pay. I worked in a top agency for 1 1/2 year, my starting rate was 400/hour, by the time I left the agency I was doing 1000/hour calls. My manager would send me multiple calls a night, many of which I would upsell into multiple-hour calls and overnight rates (2k and up). If you choose to escort, i reccomend stripping for 1 year to get the hang of things, working with a GOOD REPUTABLE agency for 1 year, and then going independent. Do not work at a tiny agency, they will have no work for you. A reputable agency should be getting you anywhere from 2-4 calls a night. I made anywhere between 400-2000/night on average. The most I ever made in one call was 4k, cash. I was in the process of becoming independent last summer until I met my boyfriend. We live together and are getting engaged this fall so it was my trade off :) i choose love over the life. If you start escorting, make sure you choose a good agency, hustle for extra hours and tips, ALWAYS use protection and save your money!!!
Hi there,
This is a very interesting topic. My experience was that I started off escorting and stripping when I was 18, did about 20 jobs as an escourt, and left the agency to continue dancing as my main source of income. I worked for the biggest agency in my city and found they put me on big jobs ($1000 per hour) at the start, but would also send me for the smaller jobs, and when they kept offering jobs for less money, I decided I didn't want to have sex with anyone for less then $1000 per hour.
Having said that, I know the money can be similar in stripping And escorting. As a dancer, I've always done well. I consistently make $600-$1000 on week nights and anywhere between $1000-$2000 on the weekend nights. I love the hustle. I find stripping and the environment very empowering, and my experience with sex work left me feeling vulnerable and unempowered. That said, different industries work for different people.
I agree that girls looking to enter the sex industry should get some experience stripping first. To get some experience in the adult industry, while still working in a club environment, where it is relatively safe, and it is relatively controlled.
I also recommend girls don't start sex work at the age of 18, I was way to vulnerable. It's too young, and some men take advantage if that. I was manipulated, gave my number out, did a few fucked up things I would never do had I been older and had some experienced.
Great to see you've left the industry for a relationship, I think it's always important to consider stripping or sex work as a career with a time limit, and something that is just to earn you money, and not treat it like a party.
Most reputable agencies or indy girls don't use backpage. If they do, it's not their main place where they advertise. Backpage attracts lowballers, lots of guys who aren't willing to be screened...you get the idea.
I'm not even a guy and I would prank call the transgirls on backpage that I knew from our translation group lol. It's not safe at all. And not very discreet. It's like worst than standing on the corner because basically everyone can see you instead of the few driving past lol.
Anyhow for me I actually contacted an agency that had escort services and considered working for them. But not as an escort. I'm a telephone interviewer. And they said they needed someone to book appointments and the like. What bothered me was how much of hot water I'd be in if I did take the job? As I'd be facilitating a crime. I don't like working outside of the law. I wouldn't escort personally though because that's way too much for me. And anyone who would attempt to sleep with me would end up wanting to get paid for it than otherwise because for one I've never had sex before I have no experience and I literally hate vaginal sex I've never been on a date besides maybe friends. So I mean it's not an option as a direct job. If I did have that experience to date and be intimate with people for a living then it could be an option may be if it were legal. I have nothing personally against but I love living within the law. Stripping seems great for a starter like myself. I have always been interested in dancing because I was a dancer and am very confident on stage plus I have customer service experience. The job description fits what I've done in the past. Escorting doesn't in any sense of the description.
Jeff,
You are looking in the wrong places. $150USD may be the market clearing price for a typical BP escort in your area, but that isn't the only market clearing price. The prices for escorts are really all over the map. And, true, some of the prices asked occur in clusters around or near certain market prices, in a local market. (The smart women charge around what the local competition does). BP and CL seem cater to the lowest common denominator (both LCD escorts and customers). Sometimes price seems to correlate with quality, but not always, and not directly. This is just based on my limited experience last month when I considered SC vs escort for my adult dollars. For escorts, the lowest I was willing to go was the $250-450 hr range (often a 2 hr minimum, too). The quality and professionalism of the woman in that range was worlds better than the typical low-ball BP or CL woman. YMMV.
Granted this is all theoretical for me since (obviously) I went with the SC over the escort, but in my opinion, my initial research stands. Some of the other blues here have more experience.
My wife's only input, was please for the love of all things sacred, pay for a clean (no STD) girl. I like (to think) that price gives me or guarantees to me a clean girl, but it is not so simple. Certainly professional screening on the escorts part helps assuage my fears. My (overly simplied) thinking is that a woman who charges more, can see less clients to make the same $$, or perhaps that increases my odds. But somehow I think that is too naïve when greed or ambition is factored in.
My 2 ¢. :twocents:
Dominic.2, the world is just not that simple. What she's doing now may not be what she was doing in the past.
That's a surprising convo. with the wife.
Good point. I neglected the temporal aspect. I did believe I was over simplifying things. I wasn't very serious about the escort as it seemed to cross some boundary I am not prepared to cross nor do I feel the need to cross.

tl;dr (re-written for brevity)
We tend to be open and honest with each other. Her input was that I respect her and respect the dancer. I don't see any escorting in my future. The SC visit was a good time and let me clear my head. Respect for the dancer was what brought me to this site. I hadn't been to a club in a while so I wanted to make sure my actions as a customer were on the up and up.
It was good chatting with you threlayer.

Not really. But you need to know her and me to understand it. I run on the side of brutal honesty. I learned early on with her that she (or perhaps many women) likes honesty without the brutality. It's being open with her but without being cruel, which to me (being logical), makes sense.
She had been having me re-introduce some of the hobbies I used to do when we first met, thinking that one of them probably used to relax me. She and I had worked down the list until SC was the only thing left. But this was not an easy discussion for her and SCs were the catalyst with her ex-husband which started him down SC --> drugs --> cheating. So even bringing it up gave her that feeling. So we set boundaries and talked about it. It wasn't easy for me either. Which is one of the reasons I am here on SW. Can I really do *this* without being a pervert? And why would a married man need to pay another woman to dance for him? How would this exactly help me? The answers were and are important to me.
I was worried how the "intimacy" with the dancer would feel like. It turned out the whole light-hearted flirting atmosphere of the SC gave me nothing to worry about. It was just visual stimulus and nothing more. I was over thinking it. The visual stimulus of dancer was more than enough to clear my head. And I thank her for that. Apparently visual stimulus plus male hormones can work some magic. I never felt compelled to go farther.
It was her idea. I'd been working like a mule for her the past 12 years or so and had been in a rut. Married life/work/school/contracting can do that. I had really been sacrificing for us and she wanted to give me something back, plus get me out of my bad mood (which I could not figure out the root cause for the life of me). My moodiness had been draining her. Normally I just "boot strap" myself but here it wasn't working.
