Escorts, or as my housemates calls them, Gigolos [probably thanks to that awful sequel of movies], are not really something we see a lot of. I suppose it takes a certain type of person to become an escort as well doesn’t it? I never thought I would be appropriate for this line of work – until I was asked…
Now, it’s not the first time I’ve been offered money. There was one time when I was only just exploring my sexuality that I was offered $800 just to meet with a guy in a hotel lobby… Thing was though, I also had to be blindfolded when in his room… Blindfolded with a complete stranger? When I’m 18? I don’t think so – even if I was strapped for cash.
So – talking to this guy online, and he asks if I’d be interested in escorting… Now – the James in my head said, “ahh, no thanks”, but the writer in me immediately typed “what’s involved” … So he explained that I’d go out to client’s places and they’d pay me per hour, depending on what I was going to do – somewhere around $150-250 per hour.
Then he’s like – so are you free to meet up for a coffee so we can talk about it? Yeah – don’t worry about letting one sleep on it hey… Not that I needed to. Next thing you know, he wanted to meet in a park… “Yeah – that sounds safer hey” I thought… But then it turned into meeting at the local sauna…
Escort man: “u wanna meet at [the sauna]”
Me: “ahh, not really man… why there? You want to test me out? Haha”
Escort man: “so we can relax have a chat and i can get a good look at ur body. It’d be hard to see ur body at the park”
Me: “right…”
Escort man: “maybe there [will] be hung men there we can ask to test u out”
As hot as that might sound, that was as far as I was willing to take my ‘investigation’.
I’m not saying I have anything against escorts here, but it does come with a stigma. What people do in their spare time, and how they get paid for it is totally up to them, and let’s be honest – it’s a big industry with a HUGE amount of money attached to it.
At least I know what I can do if I end up jobless though, hey…
