    There are some places in usa that allow prostitution, and well i also recomend you to work independent and not as an escort, because they do take you half of your money. i know a website in which you can post your ad, in every part of usa, so you can find people in there. it is a good website. oh and if you like i could be your first client.

    IMHO strippers(low mileage or high mileage) are over paid as it is. An average stripper has to do little work to earn money compared to what "normal" people have to do to earn the same amount of money.
    wow, someone who obviously has never danced.......

    Hi,

    I just though I'd add something out of necessity:

    I have been a escort for 3 years now, in New Zealand. In that time our industry has been changed from a qausi-legal grey area, into a fully legistlated profession, with the full protection of law. Is it safer? Absolutely. Clients know where they stand, madams/owners know where they stand, and most importantly, us ladies know where we stand. Previously before the legistlation, anything went, up to the actual solicitation (ie. sex worker tells john a hj/bj/pentratrive intercourse is x amount of dollars, OR john offers sex worker so and so for hj/bj/sex). With no legistlation, there was no protection; legal, registered massage palours/bath houses/escort agengies made up their own rules. As long as there was no actual solictation, everyone (that being the constabulatory, the police) were happy. There was a bath house in Christchurch which shall remain unnamed, where if a client requested no condom, that was exactly what the client got, or the girl could kiss goodbye to her job. Nowadays, with the new laws, if a client has sex with no "appropriate barrer" (ie: condoms for vaginal or anal penetration/bjs and dental dams for cunninglis) both the girl and the client, and if applicable the brothel, face a fine of up to 2000 dollars each, and 10,000 for the brothel involved.
    In my opinion, the USA needs to buck up its ideas. Quickly. Sex work is just that, work. How many sex workers need to turn up dead, how many people need to get HIV, how much time does your local law need to spend busting sex workers, when it could be protecting their rights? Yes, sex workers have rights too.
    Prostitutes are not selling their bodies anymore than strippers. Nobody owns your body, and nobody owns your time. Stripping is entertainment, prostitution is a service. Prostitutes are offering a service, just a plumber would offer a service.
    I personally do not look at it this way myself, but many do. It may just be a word, but because it garners me more respect from my clients, I am an escort. Gentlemen, ladies and couples pay for my time, nothing more. Why? Because my time is worth more than a "trick for a treat" mentality. At the end of the day, I don't 'have' to sleep with anyone. I haven't violated any consumers' rights, any laws. I choose to have sex with my customers, and occasionally i choose not to. My reasons may be because of a customer's personal hygeine, their manners, their state of health, any number of things. If a client trys to force sex on me, I have every right to call the police, although I have my own security. Prostitutes, however, who are covered under consumers' rights, cannot discriminate on basis of age (as long as customers are of the age of consent), gender, ethnicity and just about every other thing you could possibly discriminate on.
    Re brothels/massage palours/escort agencies taking half the girls' money, why shouldn't they? They pay the rent, they pay the power, they provide security, they pay the drivers'; basically they ensure a girl has a safe working environment, they provide every she needs to do her job properly. Would you work in a strip club that didn't have any security? I think not. All these things cost, and cost dearly. I know, I have been working independently on an incall/outcall basis for the best part of two years.
    Do I dance? Yes I do, I've been dancing for about 5 months now, so I've experienced this side of the industry as well. To be honest I don't think I would've made a very good dancer if I hadn't worked as an escort first. I know my limits, I know what I am and I'm not comfortable with, and most importantly as an entertainer I bring a genuine sexual aspect to my dancing. And I'm talking stage dancing/tipping rails. When I talk a genuine sexual aspect, I don't mean dry humping, I mean bringing to the fore/having a real sexiness, not this virginal; "look but don't touch" aspect of dancing that's very fake. Like Britney Spears, in her heyday gyrating to songs she sings that are essentially about sex, that felt really fake. She hadn't had sex (as far as we were aware!), she hadn't experienced raw sexual power, she was just playing at it.
    Do I offer "extras" at my club? Certainly not, it's not an appropriate place to do that kind of thing, and to be honest I can make more money from the stage than a 15/20 minute private dance (with or without any extras) anyway. Plus since I don't subscribe to the "trick for a treat" way of thinking I would feel extremely uncomfortable accepting money for a sexual service, I prefer to be paid for my time. Again it's a matter of respect from a clients point of view.
    Do I use my club to solicit business? Sometimes. When I do private dances, if I feel comfortable with a customer, I will give them a business card and tell them of my availibility (which is printed on my card anyway). If a client tried to force sex on me in my club, I will get security and that client will be removed. Again it isn't an appropriate place to do so.
    Does my club know I do it? Yep. Do they mind? No. I got into stripping from being a customer-- my strip club used to see me there quite often, and eventually one the girls dragged me onstage!! I got offered a job, and it's been great.
    Do the girls mind? No, some of them are ex prostitutes, some of them I could see heading down that path, anyway. They all know my feelings on sex in the club, and they know I would be extremely pissed if another girl tried, as we all have to work in the same space.

    All in all, i just felt like having a wah!! You americans seem to have some really odd ways of thinking, and I just felt like bursting a few bubbles.
    In my time working, I have really enjoyed the sex industry as a whole, and feel it is the ideal career for me. Everyday I get to leave myself behind, and cloak myself in fantasy and entertainment, and sensory pleasures. I spent two years of my youth (17-19), as a junior graphic designer, and was absolutely miserable. I spent most of that time, methed up to the max (I was earning more than any seventeen year old probably should) working 60-80 hours a week on a salary, doing nothing more than sitting in front of a computer, mostly, selling my ideas and my creativity. As stupid as it sounds, I would rather sell my body than my mind. Nobody has rights to my mind. Now I get to use my creativity to help me earn more money and have more fun, rather than some stupid ass company who's products I have no interest in. Working in the sex industry has really opened my mind up to the world, given me more possibilties than I ever imagined, and earned me more money than in my wildest dreams. I'm only 5 years away from retiring for good, and having my own chain of escort agencies and strip clubs. I have met people I never would've met otherwise, and I'm glad I did.

    The post I quote below is a long ramble, but imo it says a lot of things which need to be said really well/clearly, both in general and on this site specifically. Basically, this is just my "Bravo!" plus a few comments.

    In my opinion, the USA needs to buck up its ideas.
    Popular ideas and feelings about prostitution, and indeed sex in general, are amazingly different in the US than in most of the rest of the modern world. I have traveled widely, and I can't even begin to count the number of times I have encountered sophisticated and well informed people in other countries who simply can't make sense out of American attitudes towards sex. Whether it is Clinton's sex scandals or Janet Jackson's Superbowl bared breast or prostitution or, indeed, strip clubs, we just look a bit nuts about sex to much of the rest of the world. (Perhaps only the Islamic world is more hung about sex than we are.) I once had a prostitute in a posh Melbourne brothel essentially call me a liar to my face in response to a story I told her about vice cop anti-prostitution activities in the US...stings and that sort of thing. She told me that everyone knows that Americans value their personal freedoms more than any other people in the world and said that it was absurd to imagine the police getting involved in controling the sex lives of Americans. She really didn't believe me...

    Prostitutes are not selling their bodies anymore than strippers. Nobody owns your body, and nobody owns your time. Stripping is entertainment, prostitution is a service. Prostitutes are offering a service, just a plumber would offer a service.
    Exactly! I have made this point many times in other forums, mostly ones devoted to prostitution. The idea that a person can legitimately sell almost anything they can do or make, with their minds or bodies, except sex is surely a hang-up about sex. How can selling sex be more "selling yourself" than selling your time, your ideas, your talents...

    You americans seem to have some really odd ways of thinking, and I just felt like bursting a few bubbles.
    I am not sure if anybody here's bubble is so easily burst, but there is certainly a much closer connection of dancing and dancers with prostitution and prostitutes than is usually admitted/accepted here.

    Working in the sex industry has really opened my mind up to the world, given me more possibilties than I ever imagined, and earned me more money than in my wildest dreams. I'm only 5 years away from retiring for good, and having my own chain of escort agencies and strip clubs. I have met people I never would've met otherwise, and I'm glad I did.
    I have quite often heard very similar sentiments (in person as well as online) from prostitutes around the world. The work is not degrading at all unless the woman sees it as degrading in her own mind...just like dancing.

    Thank-you Wwanderer! That really made my day.
    I have had strippers have a bit of a go at me, because of what I choose to do, I've been called some absolutly nasty names before. Basically, I've said this to my mother and I've said this to just about every stripper that has never "worked": Unless you've actually done it, you have no idea what it's like, so don't you dare pass judgement. There is a world of difference from being molested when working in a club; than actually prostitution, when 99% of the time you intiate the sexual contact, you mantain the tempo, you set the mood. A world of difference from a customer in a club, essentially copping a cheap feel.

    You're welcome, of course, but it is a "sermon" I have been "preaching" for a long time, and it always gets me going when the subject comes up.

    I have had strippers have a bit of a go at me, because of what I choose to do, I've been called some absolutly nasty names before. Basically, I've said this to my mother and I've said this to just about every stripper that has never "worked": Unless you've actually done it, you have no idea what it's like, so don't you dare pass judgement.
    The general stigmatization and cultural disapproval/hostility towards sex work is bad enough. I mean really, what is wrong with selling people a bit of intense pleasure? There sure are a lot worse things you can sell and a lot worse things you can do to people for a living. To me, there is something a tad noble about the profession, a bit like being a doctor or a nurse or a therapist...helping people is still helping people even if you get paid for it.

    But I digress. The point I wanted to make is that it is bad enough that the world in general takes such a dim view of sex work of all kinds, but it strikes me as down right tragic and painfully ironic when one type of sex worker takes a similarly negative and judgemental attitude towards other types of sex work.

    I do think that you are right that a big part of the problem is that women who have never worked as a prostitute judge it on the basis of what they think it would be like, not on the reality of it, just as women who have never worked as a stripper judge that job based on what they think it would be like, not on the reality.

    Default Re:Prostitution

    Here is a copy of an anon post that appeared on a network news group devoted to prostitution (alt.sex.prostitution) a number of years ago, more than five I'm pretty sure. It seems worth reposting here, in the context of this thread; I suspect that "Sweet Sarah's" story is a pretty common one. But maybe others can tell me differently.

    -Ww

    Of course you can get a dancer to be an escort.
    We escorts are made not born ya know. A lot of
    us get started as dancers. I did. Really I even
    started as a waitress in a strip club. A friend
    of mine danced there. It made me really nervous
    to walk around the place in the tight little
    waitress uniform but I got used to it after a
    while.

    Then I noticed that I looked as good as some of
    the dancers. Before I thought they must all be
    super model types or whatever. And they made a
    lot more money and my friend was always telling
    me I should try dancing. So I did. I think taking
    my clothes off up on the stage was about the
    hardest thing I ever did the first couple of
    times. I get nervous in my stomach and had to go
    and throw up in the girl's room before I could
    go out there the first couple of nights. But I
    got used to it soon too.

    Starting to do lap dances was hard too. I tried
    to stay away from it at first. I just hid in the
    dressing room. But I knew that was where you make
    money and the manager said I should do it at least
    a little or the customers would get pissed off. So
    I gave it a try too. Made me real nervous again.
    Those first few guys would die if they knew how
    close I was to barfing all over them! It didn't
    take me long to get comfortable with it though and
    even to decide I liked it. Getting guys excited
    is a rush for sure. The thing I hated about stage
    dancing was how many of the guys would sit there
    looking bored while I did my best to dance sexy.
    A real downer. Most guys react a lot more to a
    good lap dance.

    Then I got a few regular customers for lap dances
    and one of them was always asking me to go out
    with him or give him a private dance. I had no
    interest at all in dating the guy but he started
    mentioning how much money I could make. And it got
    to be the middle of the winter with real slow
    business and I needed to find a way make some extra.
    I am smart enough to know what he was talking
    about, so I finally asked him how much he would
    give me for a date. He said $300 for a date if it
    was sexually satisfying. At the time I thought
    that $300 sounded like a huge amount. I was really
    flattered. So, we made a date. Had to keep it quiet
    like the Wanderer guy said because the club
    manager was always telling us it was against the
    rules.

    Again I was really nervous and felt like barfing.
    But once we got undressed and in bed it seemed sort
    of natural and ok. I was completely green at it
    and gave him a terrific deal. I'd spend the whole
    evening with him for $300 getting him off as many
    times as he could. Another stupid thing is that I
    made sure I didn't act like I was enjoying the sex
    because I thought he wouldn't want to pay me if
    I did. He was pretty good at giving oral and I am
    sure I could have gotten off if I let myself. I
    ended up seeing him every 3 or 4 weeks for a while.
    This was less than a year after I started
    waitressing. So it can go pretty fast once you get
    started.

    Eventually I started seeing other customers and
    talked to some other dancers that did it and
    found out that I was not charging enough or was
    giving too much time. I also found out that the
    customers mostly want you to enjoy it and that
    it is better to fake than hold back. Silly silly
    me! Now I can really get off myself most of the
    time.

    You can make good money dancing but it is long and
    bad hours and sort of boring after a bit. I really
    like escort work better and think it is more honest.
    Dancing is basically teasing. Lap dancing for sure.

    So there is some more of my story. Do you think it
    would make a good movie?

    Bumps and Grinds to ya,

    Sweet Sarah

    I agree. Being a dancer i can see the "bump" easy to get over into prostitution. I believe they are pretty much all around us, we just don't know. That's ok. Would i advertise that i escort? Probably, that's me.

    I never thought i would go from a stage dancer to a contact dancer! Damn proud of it.

    I say to the original poster, what ever makes you happy! You never know until you try, and don't knock it if you have never done it, like i once have.

    Stay safe, play safe, and do your thing!!!

    PS find out where prostitution is legal (Nevada) and check them out, best wishes!

    Well all I have to say is, stay safe! Personally, I don't agree with prostitution and if I were to take the sex for money route, I certainly would consider porn first. I just hate to hear about beautiful girls doing that kind of thing, but that is my opinion.. Best of luck to you...

    A top-notch escort can make much more than a porn star in these times. I'm repeating myself, but the days of huge Vivid contract girls are over. Jenna Jameson is the exception, not the rule. The porn industry has realized they can film in Eastern Europe and Brazil and pay the talent much less, while not being trifled with matters like HIV testing and underage girls. Furthermore, porn has taken a pretty vile turn the last 5 years or so - it used to be that a performer could decline anal or facials if she didn't want to do it - now they're not only expected, but pretty tame in comparison to double (or triple) penetration, bukkake, and "creampies," slapping, choking...the list goes on and on. HIV is becoming more and more of a problem:
    http://www.aim-med.org/Quarantine.html

    Issues of denigration/dignity and HIV notwithstanding, how about privacy? An escort has the option of keeping hers - not so with porn.
    I know which option was more attractive to me and I don't regret that I chose it.

    Escorting, like any other sex work, is a tough business, mentally and physically. It's a question of risk vs. reward. The reward ($$$$) is immediate and tangible, but the risk is a grayer area. I don't discourage people from doing it but I don't encourage it either. There are a lot of pros and cons to consider carefully.

    Foxette and WWanderer, you both rock, for your rational and enlightening commentary. We seem to be in short supply it whenever the topic comes to escorting and prostitution.

    The social stigmatization and people's negative attitudes towards prostitution are a significant part of what makes it so tough, imo, but I agree that it is also intrinsically hard and demanding work and definitely not advisable for many women. It requires uncommon strength, self-confidence and courage to do it without too much damaging oneself. Basically, it involves a lot of giving of oneself to strangers while getting little if anything personal in return most of the time...the money not being "personal". Again, it seems to me similar to other professions devoted to helping people whom you don't know...medical professions or social workers or teachers...

    Foxette and WWanderer, you both rock, for your rational and enlightening commentary. We seem to be in short supply it whenever the topic comes to escorting and prostitution.
    People with positive attitudes towards prostitution are more common on web sites devoted to "the hobby", as it is called, than they are here, but even in prostitution&#039;s equivalent of SW, they/we are often in a minority, sad to say. Even many men who depend on prostitution for their sex lives hate and condemn it at the same time. So much needless bad karma... <sigh>

    Prostitution is only legal in Nevada in certain counties. Through my father who writes for various adult publications, I&#039;ve met Dennis Hof, owner of the Bunnyranch in Carson City, just south of Reno. He says that the Bunnyranch is the place to go if you intend on being a prostitute. Dennis heavily promotes his place through advertising, radio and television in various manners. HBO has filmed a couple of specials about the place.
    Legal prostitution is good because you don&#039;t have to worry about bad customers, pimps and the police. The draw back is this....part of the money you make goes to the legal establishment you work for.
    If you escort (prostitute) outside the legal places, you always face the possibility of being busted by the police, pimps trying to get a hold of you, and customers who can be very violent. The positive thing about it is this....you don&#039;t have to share your money with anyone. You work your own hours and set your own rates. The average rate across the United States is probably about $300 per hour, but porn and magazine stars can demand hourly rates that run into the thousands.
    If you can establishment a few good repeat customers - I call them "Sugar Daddys" - you can always reduce the percentage of possible trouble you may face in the business. My dad has a few friends who&#039;ve been going strong since the early to mid-70s. They&#039;ve never been busted! But...that is not always the case! If you do drugs or have ties to criminal elements, you&#039;ll be popped sooner or later.
    As far as dancing and giving lap dances are concerned, if you give a lap dance, the man gets excited. If he reaches an orgasm during that dance, what the hell do you call that? Most city laws read that if a man or person becomes sexually stimulated with an exchange of money, that is prostitution. A lot of dancers would disagree with that, but that&#039;s the fact, Jack.
    We all know that each dancer varies in what they do or won&#039;t do, and many won&#039;t do contact dances. However, competition is some areas dictates that you better in order to make the money or the other dancer will. Another pure fact of life!
    The dance business can be crazy, but remember one thing...you did make the choice to become a dancer. You must live with whatever you face out there. If you can&#039;t, get out of the business.

    If you want to give prostitution a try in a place where it is legal, you might consider working in other countries in addition to the Nevada option. There are both countries where it is legal and some where it is technically illegal but in which the law against it is not enforced at all.

    I don&#039;t have enough personal knowledge of the legal Nevada brothels to comment myself, but I have heard complaints of truly miserable working conditions from more than one escort who gave it a try; I also have some vague recollection of reading things along the same line. Probably it is one of those things where it works well for some but not at all for others, but in any case it is not the only option for legal prostitution if you are willing to look beyond the borders of the US. And many of those foreign options would offer a very different experiece, for better or worse, than Nevada brothels.

    (I think there may also be some states where prostitution is a misdemeanor (rather than a felony), an offense carrying only some moderate fine and giving you no chance of being jailed and no criminal record. I am not sure about this last point; you should definitely do some research and check it out for yourself if that possibility interests you.)

    Default Re:Prostitution

    The days of porn being considered "safe sex work" are certainly over, citing the recent HIV scare and quarantine. It was only a matter of time.

    An escort really doesn&#039;t have much control over her privacy if she is advertising her services with photos of her likeness online. Any good whore will point this out to you. That&#039;s not where the fun starts, however... A woman who is escorting is putting a lot more aside: Her health, her dignity, her mental and emotional well-being, any chance of having a romantic relationship that lasts more than say 3 months, or any chance she can escape the damage that her daddy/uncle/ex-boyfriend(s) did to her when she was younger which led her to the profession to begin with.

    It&#039;s rather pathetic when you get down to it, especially with the "more intelligent" prostitutes. When you get so lazy, so jaded, so angry, so bitter, and so far gone that all you can think of to do to make money is to open yourself up and let some nasty stranger enter you every which way, receive unprotected blowjobs from you, or ask you to treat him as though you like him, you&#039;ve really reached society&#039;s pinnacle.

    There is no gray area. You become a plaything, a "party favor," and your very sexuality and attractiveness as a woman is shoehorned into the desires of disgusting men, rather than remaining something private, important, meaningful, and enjoyable.

    Rent the movie "Monster." In the end, Aileen chose murder over hooking because faced with "the immediate reward" ($$$$) over what she "used to do" (have sex for money), she couldn&#039;t imagine "working" again. It&#039;s a vicious cycle that only ends up ruining the sex worker.

    But that&#039;s okay, because there are plenty more where she came from.

    A top-notch escort can make much more than a porn star in these times. I&#039;m repeating myself, but the days of huge Vivid contract girls are over. Jenna Jameson is the exception, not the rule. The porn industry has realized they can film in Eastern Europe and Brazil and pay the talent much less, while not being trifled with matters like HIV testing and underage girls. Furthermore, porn has taken a pretty vile turn the last 5 years or so - it used to be that a performer could decline anal or facials if she didn&#039;t want to do it - now they&#039;re not only expected, but pretty tame in comparison to double (or triple) penetration, bukkake, and "creampies," slapping, choking...the list goes on and on. HIV is becoming more and more of a problem:


    Issues of denigration/dignity and HIV notwithstanding, how about privacy? An escort has the option of keeping hers - not so with porn.
    I know which option was more attractive to me and I don&#039;t regret that I chose it.

    Escorting, like any other sex work, is a tough business, mentally and physically. It&#039;s a question of risk vs. reward. The reward ($$$$) is immediate and tangible, but the risk is a grayer area. I don&#039;t discourage people from doing it but I don&#039;t encourage it either. There are a lot of pros and cons to consider carefully.

    Foxette and WWanderer, you both rock, for your rational and enlightening commentary. We seem to be in short supply it whenever the topic comes to escorting and prostitution.

    ^ Wow.

    Could you possibly inject more misanthropic bitterness into your hyperbolic polemic?

    Monster is your example of modern-day escorting?

    Get a friggin&#039; clue.
    Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

    Yeah, and don&#039;t forget the equally realistic movies "Pretty Woman" and "Klute".

    Or if you are considering a career as a beautiful and sexy female secret agent, rather than as an escort, be sure to see the Charlie&#039;s Angels movies. Be sure to learn how to jump out of speeding vehicles without mussing up your hair and other such vital skills. Movies are such a great way to explore career options realistically. I am thinking of becoming a heroic police detective type so that I can drive through heavy city traffic at high speed without hurting anyone.

    Seriously, when someone sends you to a Hollywood movie for information about a topic, it may be worth considering the possibility that they view reality through the blinders of inflexible stereotypes.

    Well Deline Devine,

    If your going that route--- you might as well dance in San Francisco at the MBOT and NCT; since Extra&#039;s are the rule not the exception.

    Prostitution is Illegal there but no one really cares except during an election year.

    Also go to Hawaii if you want to be a Street Walker, as it seems really tolerated by the locals well....
