    Default escorting vs dancing

    i'm a dancer and i have a friend who escorts.
    she doesn't have to primp around in heels and skimpy outfits like i do at the club and she makes far more money in less time than i do in a week.
    on average she makes about $500-800 in less than two hours but i sometimes work doubles to pull in that amount if at all, ending up dog tired.
    so would you rather escort or dance?

    Well in my area..escorts advertise as dancers..to make what they are doing LOOK legal. It makes it very hard for me to get repeat business for private shows because of those jerks. I think dancers here are trying to remain dancers..but escorts make it harder for us to do so. I would never lay down or put some nasty d*ck in my mouth..for more money. Be happy with what you make.. where else are you gonna make that type of money for prancing around in heels. You could be standing at Burger King for 8hrs..for $6.25 an hour..eh!

    Just my 2 cents!

    Why are those your only choices? I just thought I would ask.

    Your friend may make more money in less time by escorting than you do by dancing, but she is also exposed to more risks than you are while working. Working as a dancer in a club, you have a lower chance of being murdered, raped, forced to use drugs, kidnapped, arrested, beaten, contracting some type of disease, robbed, etc on the job. Is the money really worth the risks involved?

    Escorting is a fancy way for otherwise "respectable" women to engage in prostitution.

    Yea, and even those few escorts who don't, it's risky business to duck out with out "following through".

    I'd much rather dance. Escorting just would never be right for me, personally. I couldnt imagine having some old, smelly, sweaty hairy guy huffing and puffing over me, using my body to get his rocks off. His money just wouldnt be worth it. No thanks. I'd rather prance around in heels for 8 hours and make less money. And if you do decide to escort, please dont do it in the clubs. It really hurts the rest of us who do not want to do that to make our money.

    I agree with Carlos even though in escorting you have an option to have sex or not. I would think it a very risky job.

    Dancing at a club is more safe than going on a date with a guy that probably want to do extra thing.

    With all the occupational hazards House Girl just named for you, it would be in your own best intrest to dance in clubs ONLY. Even thought it sounds tempting, NO amount of $$$$ is worth risking your presious life.

    the best part about dancing is that if some guy is skeevy, you jsut walk over to the next....if you are in a hotel with your customer, you are kind of stuck.

    Plus I believe we should hold something sacred....whatever that is for you. For me, sex is still special. Have you noticed that it's just not fun to do stuff with guys that you let guys do to you for money? it's like the act has been cheapened.

    But then, most of us are having sex for the wrong reasons anyway...

    I don't know. The money for escorting is good, but why get greedy? there s a balance and selling too much of yourself will make you feel bad about yourself and no money is worth that.

    I continue to believe that there is no difference between escorting/prostitution and contact dancing. The distinction is in no contact clubs. Doesn't, "I couldnt imagine having some old, smelly, sweaty hairy guy huffing and puffing over me, using my body to get his rocks off. His money just wouldnt be worth it. No thanks"apply to a lap dance?

    I would definately rather be a dancer than an escort. I mean don't we make money quickly enough as it is? Also, you can't put a price on your safety, which should be a paramount concern for any young woman, much less one in the adult ent. biz. Escorting is also much more physically invasive than lap dancing (even contact lap dancing). One would have to be pretty desensitized not to balk at the thought of having sex with several different men during the course of a week, which is what one would have to do to be able to earn income comparable to a week's worth of dancing. I mean, most dancers wouldn't consider it a big deal to go to the club 4 days a week, whereas an escort might be more likely to balk at the thought of sucking and fucking 4-5 different guys a week.
    The one thing I can say about escorting is that it is probably more low key than dancing at a club that is open to the public. However, this just doesn't justify the additional risk in my opinion.

    I'd like to say that I'd rather be a dancer. But I started out escorting and I still spend a lot more months out of the year doing that instead of dancing. Some how, it's just a better job for me. I make about $3000 a day depending on where in the country I'm working. However, I don't agree with ever mixing the 2. I would never do extra's, etc. at a club or even mention to a man that I escort on the side. Since most of the ladies here don't seem to approve of escorting, I won't say much more about it. However, if you ever need some advice on staying safe or making more money for less work, feel free to ask me.

    We have our share of escorts around my area, (i have two large companies close by,) and i say, whatever you want to do with your life is great. I would sit down and write the pros and cons of both jobs however. And you might be surprised (if you don't have your mind made up already). Or have a friend who knows both escorting and dancing do the pros and cons for you.

    If you do not interfere with my life or people i love, fine. I think escorting is a "legal" way of selling yoursef out for prostitution. Nothing more.

    Play safe, whats it all worth when you are sick in bed, spending all that hard earned money on medical bills ?

    Hell, really...These guys expect sex!

    Speaking from experience, I did the "escorting". I hate that word, you're still f***ing for money. I almost lost a relationship because of my boss, so I quit. I left that business with my dignity and self respect. [bye]

    I rather be a dancer and have the whole world love looking at my sexy caramel naked body. [boobies] Being a upcoming feature is fun and hard work as well!

    I still dance sometimes because I like to. I like the freedom that comes along with it. You have a lot more choices sometimes. Plus it puts all those years of dance training to some use. I hardly ever stay employed for long at a club though. Lately all I do is amatuer nights. Just because I can make $3000 a day doesn't mean it's easy. That consists of my working all day and most of the night (between phone calls, emails, and seeing clients. It's not easy on the mind, body, or soul. A casual excorting day while being with an agency makes me about $500 to $1000 per shift. Almsot what dancing makes. I usually escort for a period of two or three weeks straight then stop for a month or two.

    Um can you really compare,dancer or hooker,if thats what I wanted to be I wouldnt dance,cant even compare the two,I guess escorting is for lazy dancers or ones who cant compete with the big dogs.

    Actually, I think that you misjudge us. I think you'll find that most girls here at SW have absolutely no problems with girls that choose to escort. In my own case, it's not something that I could handle doing myself but I have great respect for girls who consciously choose to escort and who are honest about what they are doing. I also acknowledge that escorting is extremely hard work!

    The activity that most girls here at SW do seem to disapprove of is girls who are working as dancers in clubs offering "extras" to club customers. In my own case, the reason for my disapproval is that girls offering "extras" in the same club I am working in are exposing me to legal risks and financial hardship. This is an entirely different situation from a girl who escorts in private settings, where the fact that she is offering sex for money creates legal risk only for herself and where she has made the hookup with her customer without "stealing" that customer from another dancer who chooses not to offer 'extras'.

    Your comment

    "Well in my area..escorts advertise as dancers..to make what they are doing LOOK legal. It makes it very hard for me to get repeat business for private shows because of those jerks. " suggests there isn't much of a market for private dancing. We had this discussion on another thread on this topic. I was surprised there was a significant market for private dance shows for a few hundred bucks and asked you a couple of questions to get a sense of how large the market was. You never really answered the question directly. But from your comments on the other thread and what you say here it seems the market for private dance shows is pretty small and most of your business is coming from guys who think you are escorting. This is what I suspected.

    :o Oh am I shocked at you women. Isn't it beautiful the way we twist the meaning of words to soothe our consciences?

    Escorting as defined by virtually every post here is equivalent to prostitution....but....we don't want to call it that....do we? Makes me laugh.

    Frankly it's a sad case for anyone in it....and anyone who uses an escort as described here.

    I'm a bit weird. I've had the pleasure of being with a professional escort.......who was an escort. What does that mean....? Well....someone who accompanied me to dinner and a social gathering without having to comit to any sexual act. All she had to do was be appealing, be congenial and able to have an intelligent conversation with me and the people we met. I don't think she would have appreciated the implied association that's made here.

    Guess I should have realized that she was expecting to have sex with me as well though. Damn!!!! Missed another opportunity.

    If money's the object though....must be an awful lot of it being made considering over a 100 yellow page ads can be found in the Vegas phone book for "escorts".

    Those considering it ought to take a hard look. It ain't a private dance in a hotel room......take Pamela's word for it.

    The guys expect sex.

    I think if a woman is working as an escort and does not have a full service menu, she is likely to get beat up or raped or both on a regular basis.
    We see how frustrated and angry guys can get in the clubs when they don't get the contact they want, I can't imagine how bad it could get on a escort date if they didn't get sex.

    Majority of men calling an escort service are calling to buy sex.

    Rayleen is correct ... a girl who accepts escort work but who is not prepared to "deliver the goods" at the end of the night does not have the benefit of a big burly bouncer looking over her shoulder and a couple of dozen witnesses present if the customer decides not to take "no" for an answer. If the escort is in a private vehicle with the customer, or in a hotel room with the customer, not only is it a case of him vs. her physically, but it is also the case of his word versus her word after the fact should the girl attempt to file charges. More likely outcome is that instead of the customer being charged with rape the girl will be charged with prostitution.
