I charged $200 an hour with an average of 3 appointments a day. Since you have escorting experience the transition won't be too difficult, but I do have a few tips for you:
1. Buy a massage table. Never do body rubs on a bed. It's hell on your back and arms, not to mention your clients may think full service is on the menu. If you purchase a portable table make sure it's not too heavy to lift and but sturdy enough that it won't wobble under the weight of your clients. Some massage supply stores rent tables for the day for around $20, so if you're low on cash you can rent one for a couple days until you raise the funds for a table.
2. If you do outcalls with a portable table, dress in conservative street clothes. A woman wearing a sexy dress and heels carrying a massage table is like a sitting duck.
3. Learn a few massage strokes. You don't have to be a pro, but you have to find ways to fill up one hour. If you don't know what you're doing the time can really drag by. Take a couples massage class with a male friend or rent/purchase massage DVDs. Before I got started, I rented a massage techniques DVD on Netflix.
4. Contrary to popular belief, body rubs are just as risky as escorting! A close friend was recently busted after working in the business for three years and yes, she screens. Depending on the laws in your city, the charge can be "massaging without a license" or in my friend's case "masturbation for hire."
5. Don't feel pressured to do what other providers offer in their sessions. Besides nudity and "happy endings", I kept things pretty tame. I didn't offer "body slides" or anything like that. Some ladies go so far they might as well be full service!
Any other questions, just ask!









Awe! Okay, Ill say that your fears about escorting is mostly fear of the unknown, and having an idea of whats expected of you vs the reality.
Clothes... Im actually not really into lingerie and completely forget about it most of the time. My standard is a nice bra and panty...the really nice bras/panties and lingerie I have were all given to me as gifts. The ones I buy for myself soley for work are from a local clubwear boutique...bras $2.50, panties $1. Sometimes I'll pick up sets from Ross or Marshalls. Of all the pics Ive taken in Victoria Secret and whatnot, the one set I always get requests to wear on dates is a lacey black bra/panty set that cost me less than $5. Same for outfits...Shop the clearance rack..as long as you look good in it and it fits you well, thats all that matters. I understand though that you cant really spend a lot of money right now, but with like a $20 investment, you could at least have something to wear to a date. Also, want to point out even if you do body rub you'll still need to look presentable, so you'll need something nice to wear either way.
Intelligence... Okay, can I just say that you have written more intelligently than about 80% of some very well reviewed escorts on my local board? Seriously...there are some posts that I cant even begin to decipher what a girl is attempting to say, and they usually only book calls by phone because they know that they have a hard time with written communication. I can also say, not all guys are interested in conversation...some guys prefer the less a girl says the better. But even so...from what you wrote here, I think you are being really hard on yourself... Also, while I do consider myself intelligent, I lean waaaay over on the fun/funny side. Ive been known to crack a joke or two at the most unexpected momentSo yeah, nothing wrong with being fun and upbeat...I may be biased here but..thats a good thing!
Keeping in Contact - You really dont have to if you dont want to. I have like, no patience for it..even with people I know and love with every inch of my heart, I live under a rock and its super hard to get or stay in contact with me..and these guys have it even worse. If they arent setting up or confirming an appointment, Im not too interested in saying much of anything, if anything to them. For the most part they get it, and will only contact me if they want to see me. The only few guys I keep any sort of social contact with are regulars who do overnights/travel dates stuff like that....and mostly cause we've spent so much time together that there is a genuine interest there. But even then..we touch bases like once or twice a month maybe.
Anyway, its your business to run however you want to...I really do not know much about body rubs, so Im not sure if it really is more impersonal and so better suited for you, or anything...I hope that some chime in with advice about that. But jut wanted to let you know that some of the stuff you're worried about with escorting isnt anything to be worried about. Totally understan dyou being stressed out and all though...but can also say that knowing you are going to make money is a huge mood booster![]()
Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink!





You are seriously being hard on yourself...! Im not just saying that to be nice, I promise. Dont let what one guy said to an agency make you feel insecure...like, of all the guys Ive seen who have told me how amazing I look (which I think is hilarious, cause I *know* I can stand to lose a few *cough* pounds and hit the gym) but one guy decided to let me know I should photoshop my photos because stretchmarks arent sexy. Crazily enough, of all the things about my body Im self conscious about, my stretchmarks werent one of them, and Ive never had anyone personal or professionally comment on it. Now if he'd said something about my thighs, Id still be crying under my blankieBut no way am I going to let one guys big mouth and opinion affect me and my business.
Also, I will admit, I have a speech impediment, when Im really happy, excited, scared, angry, what have you..I have a *horrible* stutter. When I was younger it was even worse....among other things, thats why I lean on the goofy funny side. Plus I giggle...a lot. When Im happy, nervous, upset, or dont know what to say...I giggle on reflex. None of that is a reflection on my intelligence though, its just a wierd quirky thing about me... Confidence goes a long way too, one thing I always say is...pay attention when someone is talking, learn from it and retain that info for future conversations. That CEO's, Dr's, other highly intelligent people are attracted to you is a good thing, and something to take advantage of. You are not going to learn to be around confident and intelligent people if you hide from them...
And yeah..clothes..Ill tell you whenever I take kiddo clothes shopping, we usually go to Ross for everything for her cause she grows way too dang fast. But the rule is..shirts no more than $5, pants no more than $10, $50 budget. Its amazing the amount of clothes that kid can find, with enough money left over for accessories. Mind you, shes 5'4" and 105lbs, so shes no longer shops in the kiddie section... I have freakishly long legs (36" inseam) so Im out of luck withBut I buy a lot of dresses...usually around $10. I live my life in jeans, band t-shirts and sneakers, but wear something more professional on my dates. I get a lot of requests for "dress conservatively!" so for the most part, I look like I could be going in to a job interview
Anyway...its workable. I mean, a lot of the stuff that worries you the most is you being hard on yourself. And to be honest, this whole thing is such an ego boost...Ill bet that if you relaxed and didnt think about it too hard, or let what people in the past have told you or tried to make you feel, that you would do great.
Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink!


I do body rubs in Ohio and charge $140 hr and $100 half hour. I work while my son is at school from 9:30am to 3:00pm so I may see up to 3 a day. (Key word is may) I wear a black lace bra and panty set from Wet Seal and both were no more than $20. I will go barefoot so save my feet but some like heels so I will wear pumps or one even requested my stripper shoes. As for oil, I use olive oil extra virgin (like me) which I bought from Giant Eagle grocery store and put on my food stamp card so no money lost there. It has no smell, doesn't stain and it is good for you. I do not have a clock in my apartment but what I did was buy a CD with relaxation/meditation music that the whole duration of the cd is exactly 1hr. I know when I get to track 4 to turn them over and start on their chest. I got my massage table on ebay for $99 2years and it is still holding up and I have seen some jumbo guys. I emailed the company and asked the weight limit and for my table is 500lbs.
As far as conversation is concerned trust me you don't have to say much. I hug them and thank them for coming. I ask them what made them contact me (pictures in my ad or text) and ask if they need the restroom and if not to leave the donation on the side and get comfortable. The conversation usually ceases after that. As for technique I purchased an erotic massage dvd from Amazon.com that and I have been doing this for about 2years for I have my technique down. Let me know if I can answer any questions. I have read and learned from you ladies.
*oh before I forget:You are a wonderful sensual being, never ever let a man make you feel like you are worthless or less than intelligent, loving, kind or any of that. They came to see you and what you have. Remember you stood out that is why they chose you in the first place. Many of my guys are well respected, kind and considerate men. I put that in my ads also. If you use something like backpage go on there and size up the competition. Most of the girls on there have poorly written ads, bathroom shot photos and half of them can't spell. Learn from that and make sure you write a short precise well written ad that shows you are indeed sensual yet intelligent. (guys love this) my key pic is my legs, i use this in all my ads and a lot of the girls are copying my style and while annoying at times I take it as a compliment. You are someone special and I am sure the men will see this either in your ads/and or when you meet. Good luck and take care!
I'm thinking of starting this as well. An outcall service says they would send me out but my take is $100 for the hour while indy girls here in NYC usually charge $250-$300 an hour avg and keep all. Makes sense for me to just go out and do it myself & make more money. Only thing that scares me is safety, how do I screen them or make sure they arent L.E or some crazy psycho killer? I will be adv in Backpage btw. Please help anyone because I would like to start tomorrow, Thanx!!


While there is really no way to know if someone is a phycho killer (which sucks ass) or LE, someone os LE isn't going to have you stop by there personal residence. If anything only cater to the more affluent neighborhoods and there shouldn't be a problem. Dress drawing least attention as possible and bring a portable massage table (in its carrying case) As far as screening there ar services you can belong to, I will admit I do not as they can get costly but are nice to have to let you know the client has been screened and checks out ok. This service still won't tell you if he is a nut, no service can so one has to use common sense. Another way to screen is get his name and google him and see what pops up. Check his phone number on a reverse phone search (I have have guys do this to me, I have a google number and ask me "so you are located in Mentor?" and I say "no dear, thank you for taking the time to check on me but I am not") I read somewhere else check his amazon wish list, see if there is anything creepy on there.
When I speak with a client after he has read my ad, I listen to him speak. Does he have any questions, how are the questions asked? Does he sound polite and curteous? I let him know what my donation is and then tell him I am not full service and ask if he okay with that, that is the key. I have had many hang up on me saying that they wanted full service or hung up for maybe other reasons (cops?) Maybe stick to a day time schedule to build up regualrs or have restricted hours at first to get a feel for this. I only offer incall but obviously that only works for me. I get many calls about outcall but I am just not comfortable with that.




I've mentioned this before in other responses, but I'll repeat it here because I think it is a market / service that is underserved. I'm a dude so can only speak for myself - and what I've read on review sites, (About others missing this lady's service...), but I think you should consider the 'sensual massage' market. I am basing this reply on a lady that offed and built up a business here in New England then moved due to family / medical reasons and is greatly missed. Perhaps some of this info will be useful to you or someone else considering this type of offering, as this lady was always fully scheduled and hard to get an appointment with. Her rates for this 'light touch massage' were the same as what many other ladies charged for full service. She offered a very gently sensual touch 'massage' if you can call it that, in a professional setting with relaxing music (I suspect the music was her 'audible timer' so she knew when to flip, how much longer to finish, etc.) She was older, but extremely fit and hot, which I assume you being a former dancer are also, dressed in lingerie, but did not offer any touching. As far as conversation, I was always quiet and just relaxed, maybe the music or dimly lit room encouraged this?
Some of the things she did that you might want to copy: (I realize this may be in the future as she didn't immediately start in the professional setting with fully booked days, I think she originally started in her home or basement, but I only visited the 'office building' location.) Shortly after greeting she would leave you in the room to disrobe, then come back with you face down, The room was dark, and had a counter with sink, supplies, etc. Once she started the massage, she never left you, even when she had to get something, she always had at least one hand touching, maybe just on your leg, but it made you feel like you always had her attention, but you also never knew where she would touch next, if that makes sense... Yes she offered happy endings, but that part was also gentle and prolonged, keeping you on the edge of pleasure for a very long time. I suspect the other advantage of the sensual touch is that you could perform many more massages this way compared to a 'real massage' requiring lots of hand strength. Oh, she also had a blog that gave information and a few reviews that she had edit control over. (Maybe that's how we knew the ground rules, and what to expect...)
There are many guys looking for a strip show / lap dance combined with a full service, I would guess you could offer '15 min of dance / show' with the one-hour massage package, although it may be harder to enforce the no-touch policy if that is your plan. If you are a former dancer you might want to incorporate that into the 'package'.I know personally, I would gladly pay for 'home delivery' of this service.
As far as the conversation, try to turn it back to the client, ask them about their day, offer that they are there to relax and get their mind off work.
Good luck with whatever you decide!





Yeah you guys are right about google being helpful. I would just do body rubs full time but they are a pain in the ass to screen. They all want last minute appointments and none of them seem to know what a reference is. Caller ID (for cell phone), google, and trying to pull verifiable employment information out of them are your best bets.
i have seen postings on backpage.com for "sensual massage ladies wanted" types of postings. it makes me wonder; how can i do this legally?
Oh ok




Massaging without a license is illegal. "Bodyrubs" are also illegal. "Boywork"? Also illegal. Tampering with body tissues can really hurt someone and without a licence it is illegal. Sure you can advertise energy work - that't not illegal. However, good luck marketing that. To be paid for a massage, you have to go to school. That usually takes a couple of months. The shortest time you can be in massage school for is one day. The certification is for reiki massage. However, I guarantee you though that reiki is not what the guys want so good luck marketing thatlol.
The only way to make sensual massage work is to offer bodyrubs for donations. There is nothing wrong with that. However, touching genitals in any way shape or form is prostitution (depending on where you live). I hope this helps but there's no way to do any of these legally 100%. You could be busted and catch the massaging without a license charge AND a prostitution charge.





This is a strange question- but when is it busiest? Nights? Weekdays? Weekends?
I have danced and cammed and I know the busy hours for that. It seems like it would be different in this case. I don't know. LOL. I'd appreciate and insight.![]()
Body rubs are usually a call/email-in type thing. Most are not pre-booked. Get caller ID on your phone to be a bit slicker with screening.









what about weekends?





for some reason Saturday during the day can be busy here - Monday's are good - and Fridays are either great or yucky - it probably varies by area- but I agree with daytime hours being better
I wondered to because I put an ad up on Monday on Bpage and got NO calls it was like 4:30pm. Just as a test last night at 11pm I put it up again, got one call. I def need more attention then that to make money doing massages indy, what am I doing wrong? dont know if it's the time of day.I am charging $250/hr and I am in NYC btw.
^^ If you're new, it might take a little while until you start to get busy. Guys sometimes wait to see if you stick around with your ads, so they can be more sure you're not LE and it gives time for someone to review you and confirm that you are good at massages etc.
Good to know, but damn it costs $12 every time I post, that can add up. So you don't think it's the time of day I'm posting? I post and then theres so many ads posted after mine it being in NYC and all the page it gets spammed w/ parlours and other girls. There is an outcall company I tell them when I'm available and they send me out but they only do it from 7pm-4am they charge $160 and I get $96 a 60/40 split. I haven't started with them because I figured I can make more working on my own so I can charge a bit more and keep all but from what I see I may have to take them up on their offer because not getting calls as a newbie is def a problem. I need to make some money asap.![]()
