Advice on escorting

[ch33rbabetg]

Hello, I have posted 2 post before on trying to get some info on how to get in to the adult industry or trying to get info on escorting. This is always been a dream of mine to do this. How would i go about getting it done? I have done contacted grooby.com. I am not on hormones yet cause i don't have the money to get on them. I am willing to take them and want to get on them when i get the money for them and can see a doc for them. I would like to get my career going as soon as i can with this. I have nudes to show for photographers that need to see them. Just send me a pm and i will shoot them over for you to your email. so send your email along with the PM. Please also tell me what company you work with. Like i said im really just trying to get my career doing this type of stuff going.

Amy, sweetie, I'll have to agree with the girls who replied to you. You see, most girls do escort work and modeling so they can earn enough money to get by and pay for their transition or- in a few rare cases- to live comfortably the way they choose to.

It seems to me that you are the opposite, in that you are willing to take hormones just so you can do modeling and escort work. Escorting is a dangerous job with many associated risks, not least the many STDs that an escort can catch. It is not something to be entered into without serious thought.

Modeling and hardcore modeling especially are not easy jobs either. Prepare to be hurt, mistreated, be seen as a sex object and have men pestering or stalking you if you succeed. If you do not, prepare for disappointment and bitterness.

Many TS models and hardcore stars and many escorts too, have managed to cope. There are many girls here who have been through it all or are going through it. Some of them enjoy the sex and the adulation but, really, at the end of the day, it's just a job. I doubt it was ever their dream to be in porn. It just happened that way.

And I have nothing against porn stars or escorts. They fill a niche by providing a service. Many of the girls in the industry are just regular girls and many of them- include several who post on these boards- are down to earth, intelligent and kindhearted: beautiful women in every way.

But....are you sure you want to be in porn and escorting for the right reasons? And are you sure you are actually transitioning for the right reasons? I don't want to sound unsympathetic, but it seems to me that you are driven more by the your fantasy of the sex industry than by a real and heartfelt desire within you to become the person you believe you should have always been.

Please think this through before rushing into it on impulse and regretting it later.

regards and respect

I haven't got experience with this but I guess if someone has a fantasy to work in porn industry,...why the hell not. This combination could be a big hit. Transformation to a Tgirl + a big wish to fuck stranger in front of camera where millions of people could see you and not just for the money but purely some nympho stuff, ha ha..

I only wonder how expensive this hormones are if girls in Brazil could afford it...you must be really poor in USA :)

Well, a 4 months supply of Estrogen through Stroeheckers costs about 30 bucks. So even if she mows a couple of lawns or something she could pay for hormones.

There are a dozen ways to get hormones. Aside from an online drugstore, I would bet that if you live in a major urban area there is at least one clinic that treats people like us. Through such an organizeation you could meet local TS's who will be much more helpful than anyone online could ever be.

It should go without saying. Only do adult work if you have no other real options!

And if a person has the will, desire and intelligence, there are ALWAYS options.

Honestly that doesn't seem like much, i spend more than that in 4 months on fish food for my aquariums. :wink: I always got the impression from posts in this forum that hormones were very expensive.

Unless there are other hormones that are more expensive? I really don't know.....


Yes, there are different kinds of hormones as well as different methods of taking them. You can take pills, use a patch, use injections or have pellets implanted. All with different costs. Some you can do yourself, others you may need a doctor.

Without someone being willing to hire a TS there are no options. Without seed money starting a business is out of the question. All things that are theoretically possible, are not always practical. Hence I said real options, not ideal options. Understand?

I understand. But I think you are copping out. I've never met a TS that couldn't get hired if they truly had the will. It may not be your dream job, it may not pay as much as adult work and it may be harder work than escorting but I don't think adult work is the ONLY default job available.

Unless one is a total flake, a druggie, an alcoholic, a cheat, antisocial, a nutcase or just a plain A-hole or bitch (in which case a person doesn't have to be a TS to have those traits) there is no reason someone cannot get a "legit" job, IMO.

That certainly is on the cheap end of things. I had an orchiectomy so I don't really need the so called testosterone blockers which tend to ratchet up the price. Plus I inject, which is generally less expensive than buying a pill.

But like Brenda said, most major cities have some sort of low income program which treats trans youth in some capacity, which often times includes counseling, doctor referral, name change advocacy, etc...They may require a relatively long wait, but so does a good doctor with a private practice. So there you have it.

Honestly this just isn't a good place to learn about escorting, it would be much better to stick with people in your area who can inform you about the ins and outs.

I think the unease that TSNTX and others have described is sensible for obvious reasons.

Sarah: Dealing with doctors to get a perscription can feel like such an absurd scam. I don't know how it is for you, but my doctor sees me for 15 minutes every time my hormones run out, asks me to quit smoking, writes my scrip, and then charges me $150. On top of that I have to pay refill fees for other medicines, and it really feels like a drug dealer with a monopoly and a government sanction sometimes.

The financial incentive for mega pharmaceutical companies to dump contaminated pills on the unsuspecting public remains all to real of risk to relegate the FDA to the dump. However, the current gatekeeper system is cruel and self serving for those that hold the keys to the gate.

As for only working in the sex industry when one has no other option: I guess I stand somewhere in the middle. I think working in the sex industry, may not be my only option, but remains my best option. For anyone to just declare across the board that this is delusional on my part without knowing me or my circumstances, is the height of ignorance.

What did I do to deserve what you basically just said about me? It's false. I just wonder how one could get that idea?

(edited to use a different approach)

Do you know that the QG in my screen name stands for? If you know enough about me to be able to make such a character judgement then you should know what you said is B.S. I'll give you a clue. The Q stands for Quantum.

Bitch.

Quantum is the Latin word for amount and, in modern understanding, means the smallest possible discrete unit of any physical property.

Brenda, I dn't know you, except by your posts, but it seems to me as if you have never shown anything more than a quantum of empathy for other older transsexuals, or a quantum of willingness to accept self responsibility for your present situation. If you project like that in your dealings with prospective employers, their equal and opposite reaction will not be to hire you.

You have a degree in theoretical physics. So does half the workforce at Starbucks. My goodness, it was just a joke on the Simpsons, that even PHd's are having a hard time getting decent jobs.

Having a good education only opens the door. It takes a lot more to get through it. Do you have any practical experience? Any job skills? Any relevant work experience? Do you have references? Can you pass a background test? Even entry level positions require all those things. And fair or unfair, there is a lot of competition for those crappy starting jobs these days. Among all the many highly qualified applicants, attitude and gratitude are probably more important than aptitude and graduate degrees. You can accept that, and try to work with it or on it, to get to work.

Or you can dismiss me as just another bitch.

Hmmm.... Well, I guess congratulations are in order. You are so smart, so talented, so young, so charming, so passible, such a "people person" and you have such a great personality that you made yourself completely unemployable in the real world. That's quite a feat. You're a regular Einstein.


Actually, when I wrote "Unless one is a total flake, a druggie, an alcoholic, a cheat, antisocial, a nutcase or just a plain A-hole or bitch (in which case a person doesn't have to be a TS to have those traits) there is no reason someone cannot get a "legit" job, IMO." I didn't think you were in that catagory. I assumed you did sex work because you chose to do that kind of work over flipping burgers at McDonalds, for example. I stand corrected. Apparently, the world wouldn't even let you have that kind of job so you were forced into sex work as there were no other jobs available. You proved me wrong. I understand you now.

It must be a real curse to be such an intelligent and charming transsexual such as yourself. :roll:


Oh, one more thing.... Bitch (and two snaps.)

How nice of you to recognize that. Do you know he had trouble finding a job as well? He looked for two years before he got the patent office job. Meanwhile sponging off his parents and pregnant wife.

The moral of the story: Education is no guarantee of financial success. It is a goal in and of itself.

What does this dispute have to do with helping the original poster?

@Felicia
Those latter transitioning transsexuals... All I have ever said, in short, is that they should be more careful in how they transition. That their cultures notion that self identification is all that matters means nothing to the general public they must interact with. I haven't always been nice about saying it.

@ both of you
I know it may be hard for some of you to accept but discrimination really exist. It is the explanation for all that you see here. It is the answer to "why do so many TS's at some point in their lives do sex work?" This disturbing thread and it's original post where a impressionable person has the notion to not even try to get a conventional education or a profession. :-( Even though education does not guarantee success, on average it leads to financial rewards over time. Over time which does not help someone who needs money now.

If someone of adult age come on here and ask about adult work I will tell them just what I told this person. Find the TS/TG support system that exist for them locally. Find someone who has done what you want to do and ask them for advice. Try to find a legit job. In the mean time do what you have to do to pay the bills.

Why is that even controversial?

From what I heard, the generic ones are cheap and the brand name ones are expensive. However, in the United States, the drug companies are required to make the same stuff regardless of it being name brand or generic.

Or is Shroehecker's a company outside of the US?
