How dangerous is escorting?

[littletwink]

Cam is easier, cheaper, and a lot safer. I would start there before I even thought about escorting.

I wouldn't recommend it. Horrible hours, constant threat of violence and you're generally going to get treated like a piece of meat, and be spoken to accordingly. A lot of the girls get into alcohol or drugs in order to cope with the job and it starts a downward spiral.

While escorts and porn stars will tell you how much they love it and how much money they make, the reality is actually very different.

I would never ever do it. The risk of violence, not to mention catching HIV from a split condom.

PEP


Split condoms
This is extremely rare but can happen.
If you are not 100% sure of the sexual history of your partner
You are strongly urged to go to an A&E or a GUM clinic
& to request a course of Post Exposure Prophylaxis, PEP,
(the ANTI HIV/AIDS DRUG TREATMENT)
PEP:
Post = After
Exposure = a situation where HIV has a chance to get into someone’s bloodstream
Prophylaxis = a treatment to stop an infection happening

http://www.pep.chapsonline.org.uk/pep_basics.htm
PEP is effective up to 72 hours after assault, but PEP is MOST EFFECTIVE if, started within 4 hours of exposure.
The anti-viral drug course lasts 28 days & consists of three tablets taken 4 times a day.
So PEP is …
A treatment to stop a person becoming infected with HIV after it’s got into their body.
But if HIV’s in the body isn’t it too late and the person’s now infected?
No. After HIV gets in someone’s bloodstream it takes time (hours or a few days) before it permanently infects them. If someone acts in that short time they stand a chance of stopping HIV before the infection takes hold.
How could the infection be stopped?
Taking 2 or 3 anti-HIV drugs everyday for 4 weeks might stop the HIV before it gets a permanent hold in the body. PEP’s not a ‘morning after’ pill that’s taken just once – it’s one month of drugs.
So with PEP someone won’t become HIV positive?
Research seems to show PEP makes infection with HIV a lot less likely. But PEP doesn’t work every time - some people who take it still end up with HIV afterwards. It can fail because some anti-HIV drugs don’t work against some strains of HIV. And it’s more likely to fail if it’s not taken properly or soon enough.


The side effects are very unpleasant, consisting of vomiting
(which MUST NOT OCCUR, so anti nausea tablets will also be issued to you)
insomnia, lethargy, unable to regulate body temperature, diarrhoea, headaches.
These side effects can be severe, but you must complete the 28 day treatment AT ALL COSTS for it to be effective. Remember, the alternative is potentially contracting HIV/AIDS.

Oh, a course of PEP costs the NHS £ Hundreds.
so there is a resistance to issuing it unless there are very good reasons to suspect patient exposure to HIV.
You can also access PEP from a Gum clinic in working hours, or Accident & Emergency any time.
If the staff there express ignorance about PEP's, they are wrong.
Insist on talking to the “Person in charge” as IMMEDIATELY start of treatment is essential.
Don't accept anything the suggestion you to come back another time.
Print this off:
Getting PEP, {UK} official letter to hospitals from the Chief Medical Officer
& hand to the doctor. It give the doctor clear guidelines for the administration to you of a course of PEP.
If you still get nowhere, call 0845 1221 200 they can tell you which hospitals give out PEP.

An escort friend of mine, now retired, was hospitalized onetime when a client tried to bite her penis off. That's probably an unusual event - but a risk nonetheless.

[Jamie French]

Totally dangerous. I've been escorting for 6 years now... been dead for 3 of those years.

Seriously, the job is a cakewalk if you're not completely buttfuck retarded. Don't walk the streets, don't do drugs and treat anything that even raises your eyebrow the littlest bit as a red flag. 6 years and not one bad experience... gross, embarrassing, tedious? At times, yes. Dangerous. Not in the least.

The reality is that all my time belongs to me, I make a ton of cash and I work whenever I please. The reality is what you make of it as an individual. If you're prone to making bad decisions then escorting will taste like shit. Escorting itself is not the bad decision. A decent set of brains will take any venture and turn it into a success... preparing taxes, delivering pizza, selling car parts, cocaine or slinging ass. It's all just a widget so pick the job you have an aptitude for and do your best not to be a complete fuck up about it.

If you've never taken a strangers dick up your ass for cash you really need to pipe down. You're speaking out of turn.

I read a great story on a lovely little blond girl who was working in IT and heard about escorting. She figured that she already dates and has sex - perhaps doing so for money would work. She spoke to someone in the business and soon started out on her own. With a little modification she found that it worked for her so well that she was making five times her salary ($70k vs $350k) while working on her own hours. She was in Chicago.

I think if you can handle it ... you can make it work without serious safety issues. I think that there are well known procedures that will protect you. One that I heard of and think would be incredibly effective is a certain escort's requirement that any client provide work information (that she will confirm by phone). She said more than home - no one wants a scene at work. When I thought of it, I'd agree 100%.

Either way good luck in this tough economy.

I reported the one really horrible story that I've heard.Many girls have been robbed. On occasions this site has carried news or worse assaults (including the very occasional murder) Some have been assaulted. Then there is the health risk - minimal if they've got half a brain.

By and large i think boredom might be the biggest danger.

Yeah.

I actually agree with you
