Alternatives to escorting

[tsmandy]

K, gotcha Mandy. How about working out a weekly budget (i.e. how much you feel you need to earn per week) divide it by 3 or 6 and multiply that by 125-150%. Ex. if you need $1000/week at 3 would be $425-500 and at 6 would be $210-250.

You could then advertise as a companion only with a half day and full day rate, while taking into consideration Fri., Sat., and Sun. would be the 3 working days. Any extra days = extra money. Any extra activities you can negotiate as you and your conscience feel is fair.

Now of course this comes from someone that truly does not know your business in terms of how many "dates" you usually have a week. But as I have seen in some posts here, when a client feels less rushed they tend to have a better experience in both activity and appreciation for the lady.

...............

Again I don't know if scheduling half and full days would work but thought I'd throw it out there.

What an interesting idea. How did you come up with the mathmatical formula? Linear thinking fascinates me.

Anyways, I would really like to focus my interactions professionally on clients that are interested in non rushed time. Thanks for the suggestions.

Was porn already mentioned?

Mistress, having a "Sugar Daddy", etc are all the same variations on one theme; providing one's time and (usually body) to a person but instead of a flat hourly rate, compensation can take a number of forms. For intance a gentleman could pay the rent/bills, or establish a checking account/credit card, or other means of funds. Or simply pay funds upon the end of the day/visit.


Many former escorts find themselves "kept" by just one man. It could be a former regular customer, or simply a gentleman looking for a safe, steady thing on the side, and or building a more personal relationship than calling from the corner. Some GG and male "mistresses" do quite well, with apartments in their own names, trust funds, and so forth. There have been a few cases of trannies being taken up by some wealthy guy, but it never seems to last long. Probably the most famous was a girl who used to work down in the Meatpacking District and met a guy from Europe with TONS of cash. Man took her back to Europe where the girl lived the life (chateau, coutre dresses, the lot). However one day the guy "woke up", and chucked the girl out.

As for non-escorting occupations, despite what some may say things are not that bad for trannies. Many large companines like Microsoft and Google are very GLBT friendly. Or, to take a page out of the gay male book, one can start up a business.

As for nursing, there are still quite a few two and three year schools out there. Not one state nursing board mandates a four year degree for licensure. Some hospitals may prefer the BSN, but with the nursing shortage as acute as it is in some places, they will take what they can get. For some reason nursing does attract lots of trannies. I know about 5 or 6 post of TSs who are RNs and one pre-op (lives as a woman).

As for that comment about obtaining higher education is a waste as it only means being turned down for better jobs; that has to be the dumbest logic I've ever heard. Not every TS works as an escort/sex worker. Quite a few hold college and even advanced degrees and do quite well. Yes, they may not have landed every job they applied for, but who does?

If one is a young TS the best thing to do is go to school, attend college and position yourself to take advantage of changing times.

I based the formula on a realistic social calander of 3 day weekends as stated in my original post. The 125%-150% is to factor in taxes and some slow time so as to still maintain a consistent in pocket income (and a little extra to treat yourself or save for the future.)

I'm not really interested in alternatives to escorting as in other lines of work. Just interested in hearing folks ideas regarding alternative sex work arrangements.

I'm confident that there are a million soul crushing, mind numbing, heart breaking jobs out there (even a few good ones too) that I could go back to school and eventually qualify for. Different can of worms, not interested in talking about (personally).

I've just been interested in exploring possibilities that have been under utilized, and expanding the framework that I (and others) use to think about sex work.

It's a beautiful day, time to get out of my house.

Just charge $1000 per evening normally 4 to 5 hours of your time. Normally this includes dinner/date then fun.

I was just relating my personal experience. I have a B.S. major in physics and minor in mahtematics. I am also well on my way to a M.S. I have applied for jobs and seen those jobs stay open for a year (two I have been waiting on for a while. They only requiered a BS and NO experience at all.

Then I have also woked quite a bit as a salesperson when I lived as a man. door to door and telemarketing. As a TS woman as soon as they do the background check any enthusiasm for hiring me goes away. The only thing that has changed is that I am a transsexual.

I know it's hard to accept but education does not make one immune to prejudice.

So you want an alternative form of sex work

There's always pornography. Potentially if you are willing to man ALLOT of movies you could make allot of money. If you are willing to really get into that business and say produce such movies theres even more money. Doing that could be just as hard as going to school and getting any other job.

I work in computer networking, so I just pretty much have no problem getting a good job.

buy Lloyd Kaufman's 'Make your own damn movie' (amazon.com)
rent some pro equipment and direct your own porn
either buy or pirate adobe video premiere and edit.
if you're really motivated make your own background music for it too.
shop it to studios & websites
profit! (after much learning/failure)

You fools are crazy, the right tranny can make so much money if motivate, good looking and stays focus, we all know their hooking but straight girls do it too. This tranny showed me the money her and a friend made over ST Patties Day, she made about 7g and her friend made more, add that in with the partying and expenses you can round it of to 20G, when is the last time you and a friend created 15 to 20G in a week or 2?
Remember fellos prices always go UP, drugs, rent, booze and girls of all genders too.. but never your pay check when you work instead of having your own business and that's the business $$$$$ 4 to $$$$$ a week
Enjoy the FUN!
