I was out of a job and things were not looking to turn around anytime soon. There were the familiar goto options like fast food and the like but it was still minimum wage and my house payment would chew that up and then some. I'd have a house with no food in it.
I had a friend in the sex industry but I just couldn't bring myself to approach her even though I knew she had the knowledge I'd need to do it. It seemed like the move of last resort so the question became, was I in 'last resort' mode yet? Sex for money always felt debauched and while I loved my friend I also avoided discussions about her profession.
Anna was a reasonably high priced escort who had been in the business for a few years. Knowing my general feeling about her work she never brought it up unless I asked and I was usually not asking. Anna was a beautiful girl so it made sense she'd make plenty in the sex biz. Men were constantly checking her out anywhere we went. If you kept an eye out, men had one eye on their immediate concerns and one scouting out her fabulous ass. Seriously, you couldn't look away.
Having breakfast at her condo I casually broached the unspeakable boundary and asked her how much she made as an escort. I remember dropping my fork on the floor when she told me. If I were making that kind of money I'd be instantly relieved of my new found poverty status. The only hurdle was getting right with fucking guys for cash and I didn't think that would ever happen.
"It sort of depends, Dinah," she said, "on whether you like it or not. The more you like it the more you'll make. Guys can sense when you don't want to be there."
"What kinds of things do you have to do?" I asked.
"Well, open a dictionary on erotica, read it from cover to cover and that's what you have to do. I've had men ask for all sorts of kinky things and as long as you can roll with it you'll be in the money. If you were good at it, they will come back to you endlessly. If not, they'll move on and find someone who is. If there's something you don't want to do it's best to state that upfront. Also, if you have specialties it's best to advertise that too.
Guys who are willing to pay for sex want the forbidden fruit. Something they're really into but can't get from their wife or girlfriend. Expect the unexpected. A lot of guys like rough sex. That can run the gamut from hair pulling to spanking to bondage. Expect requests for anal sex."
Up until now I was just taking casual mental notes but suddenly my senses were on high alert, "Anal?"
"Yup, and sometimes if you're servicing more than one man they'll want double penetration."
"What do you mean?" I asked, afraid I already knew the answer.
"Two guys are fucking you at once, one in your pussy and the other in your ass."
"Holy shit, do you do that?" I asked.
"Yes, I've handled as many as five at a time. Double penetration, one in my mouth and jerking off two others. If you do a party with multiple men that's likely to happen. They're all hungry for you at once."
"Holy shit," I said again.
"One other thing you will quickly find out...what you like, because, believe me, you're going to do stuff and find out you really like it. Nearly every girl likes receiving oral sex but other things will surprise you."
"What surprised you?"
"That I enjoyed a light dose of BDSM. I realize that I'm a submissive with occasional moods of dominance."
"My eyes are glazing over because I don't even know what that means."
"It means I'm into things like getting tied up, spanked, forcibly fucked. That, for the most part, makes me a submissive. I like being dominated. It's a role play. Maybe you'd find out you're a dominatrix or maybe your not into any of that at all."
"Holy shit."
"You've said that already. Welcome to the world of fetishes! I have one client with a foot fetish so it's all about that. He gets his rocks off licking my feet and sucking my toes. Another likes me sitting on his face. One more thing to keep in your back pocket is dirty talk. Never underestimate the power of dirty talk to rev up your client's attention."
"I don't know, Anna, maybe I'm not cut out for this. I just can't see myself doing that. I'm going to have to think about it."
