I didn't entertain many women when I was a sex worker. I wasn't anti-women, but it was a different time. Women didn't approach me often and I certainly didn't approach them.
Pretty much the only women interested were the kind that took the least attractive aspects of men and built them into a female's body. Butch and boisterous bitches that were a lot more trouble than they were worth, they could be rough and took forever to get off, and then acted like they cared that I orgasm too. (Like that was going to happen.)
They were also just about always lousy tippers even when I treated them to an Oscar worthy performance and acted disappointed that they hadn't turned me off men forever or something. All in all, not a fulfilling experience in terms of financial reward or job satisfaction.
I entertained a few couples over the years, but it was rare. After I was ripped off by a husband wife team, I got incredibly cautious. On the rare occasions when I said yes, it was because they offered a lot more for my time and usually recognized them from the local scene.
Even then, I was just about always sorry after I took the date. Maybe it was because we were in a very conservative place (Iowa), but it seemed like the trick was always about him and she was there because he wanted it. There was just never a spark or any enthusiasm on their part for me. No lust. It's not fun and even kind of depressing to have sex with a person who seemed like they didn't want to be there.
(To be clear, I never actually experienced anyone actually being forced to do anything, but a few of them looked like they would rather be anywhere else and were definitely not responsive or adventurous. It might have been worse than I imagine. I don't really like to think about it.)
Anyway, I knew there were a lot of lesbians out there and at least some of them were remotely feminine looking and sex positive. I'd met a few in my travels and had a little sister who was currently playing with boobs and boners, but I guess they could fill their dance cards without having to pay to play. It was just the way it was and I didn't overthink it. That was just how it worked.
The only real exception I ever met to the rule was a woman I went to high school with. Her name was Stacy and I guess she'd heard the rumors about what I was doing in my old hometown.
When she arrived at the hotel bar I was working in in a town about 100 miles south of the one we had both grown up in, I wasn't completely surprised. It wasn't uncommon for people from our little town to move to the slightly bigger small town that we referred to as "the big city." Also, the town was far enough the way that people coming here for a visit would stay in a hotel overnight rather than driving home. I'd seen people I had gone to high school with before.
When Stacy saw me, she looked like recognized me immediately and bee-lined over to me like we were old friends.
We weren't really. Old friends I mean. We had been in a few classes together over the years and been to a few of the same parties. I remembered her as one of "the straights" in school -- member of the student council, belonged, to clubs, stopped the boys at second base, etc.
She had been much less of a cunt to me than most girls who hung the student body crowd, so there was that. I guess I hadn't fucked her boyfriend or brother or whatever -- and she had even loaned me her homework once or twice so that I could copy it and maybe avoid an F in Algebra, and I had appreciated it at the time.
(I later got F'd by the algebra teacher anyway, when he too stumbled into a bar I was working. A story for another time.)
Anyway, I recognized Stacy the moment I saw her. Like all of us, she had changed a bit over the years. She hadn't changed her hair -- which was still butter blonde, long, straight and parted in the middle -- but she'd filled out a little bit in all the right places. (She had been a bit on the skinny side in high school.)
Stacy was well dressed in an evening dress that probably cost more than I did on an average evening, and she carried herself with a bit more confidence, but that ditzy smile was still there and that had been her trademark.
I don't remember how the conversation started. Your basic "look at you" and "imagine running into you after all these days" I'm sure, but soon enough it was time for me to ask what she was doing in town.
She went into the part where she told me she was a bank officer now and she was in town for a conference. I was impressed. We hadn't been out of high school that long. When I started to tell the standard lie about what I did (clerical work was my go-to, as no one cares to dig into the matter) she stopped me with a smile and a wink.
"Oh, I know what you do."
I looked her in the eyes just to make sure I knew what she had said. The look on her face convinced me she knew all right and I guess I wasn't surprised. Given my high school reputation, I'm not sure she'd think I'd changed that much anyway. But then she made it more intriguing.
She looked into my eyes. That "no bullshit, okay" look that you know you can't lie in the face of.
So I just nodded my head and said "A girl has got to eat."
She smiled back at me with that big silly smile but also a kind of twinkle in her eye.
"Yeah, that's why I was looking for you."
She smiled again at me and looked like we had somehow reached an understanding.
"Can we get out of here?"
She tossed down a $20 which was more than enough to cover the tab, and we were on our way before I even formed an opinion on what might happen next. I didn't see her as threatening and couldn't imagine a scenario where she was a cop or anything, so we took the short walk to my place which was above a laundromat a short way away.
