I am a legal brothel-based hooker in Sydney, Australia. AMA (self.IAmA)

submitted ago by magdalene25

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

As the title says, I'm a hooker in Sydney. I live with my long-term boyfriend/fiancee (he knows) and love books, computer games and eBay.

I am completely legal and I don't drink or take recreational drugs, but I must admit to smoking cigarettes. I wasn't abused as a child or an adult, I'm not a "slutty" person, and I don't have self-confidence issues. I'm actually rather boring otherwise.

But I do think that this is an industry that needs to accept the fact it's legal and come out from the shadows. To break stereotypes, people need to be given the truth.

This is what I hope to do.

Fire away! You cannot offend, except by trolling.

I will even take on moral/religious questions/arguments as long as they are clearly worded, open minded and POLITE!!!

Hope to hear from you soon.

Note: Have since left the industry. Just wasn't getting the same satisfaction out of it that I used to. Also, there is a much rougher, stupider crowd coming into the industry ever since the GFC made a lot of people too broke to pay (unless they have to) and desperate enough to work (even though they didn't want to). It's also made a lot of brothels drop their prices and a lot of girls take risks in order to keep clients. I refuse to be a part of that, so I left.

ok, here we go. Sorry a lot to go through here and little of it short answers so i didn't feel i could tackle this properly at 3am.

Is there a typical hooker? To be blunt, no.They are so very very varied and different that it would be damn near impossible to generalize at all. Upbringing, quite a few seem to come from broken or single parent homes. Mind you I can think of only 3 friends of mine that don't, so that could be more a general societal thing. As for worldview it also varies wildly. I've even met a hooker who thought prostitution was wrong. That hurt my brain a bit.

Customers are from 18-90, usually male, sometimes a girlfriend or wife but not often at all, and usually fits into one of 4 categories (but not everyone!):

  • Lover-boy: Tend to be a bit "creepy" around girls, the kind who are polite and a "true gentlemen" but somehow girls just don't dig them. That's because they try far far too hard to be nice and end up seeming very false and slightly unnerving. They come in looking for a girlfriend, not a temporary companion. They'll try to give you their card or phone number, talk to you for ages and try to get you to stay past time-over. Easy physically, but very mentally/emotionally draining.

  • The Little Man: NOT referring to size! This guy seems to be compensating for something, even if you don't know what. Often talks a big game then manages a 5 minute humping. Usually on drugs and sometimes brings his own. Tries to spank, talk dirty ("you like that, you little whore? you like my big cock in you?" when it's actually fallen out and he's too high to notice) and thinks he's bought the right to do whatever he wants. Will try to get extras for free.

  • Soul-Searcher: The guy who is authentically looking for a companion. tends to look for a girl with a "personality" or "beautiful soul". Talks a lot and is personally my favorite type. Requires gentle handling and are usually carrying a few scars and old wounds. Widowers and divorcees can fall into this category. Not saying they don't want physical things too, but they tend to book based on your personality and first impressions rather than looks or what extras you offer. Love to kiss.

  • Par-tay Boys: These guys are out for a good time!!!! They move in packs, usually with one main guy trying to egg everyone else on. They usually bring drugs and attitudes. Once in the room they usually go one of two ways, insecure and determined to prove they're not, or insecure and fully clothed the whole time. They tend to either try to prove they're better than a porn star or just beg you not to tell their mates they didn't fuck you. I hate par-tay boys.

posting this before computer spacks out and loses the lot. will answer the rest after a cup of tea.

I suspect there will be a new kind of client on your list in the near future:

  • Redditor: These guys troll the Australian brothels with reddit alien stickers on their shirts hoping to catch a gleam of recognition in a girls eye, thus both finding magdalene and getting her a gold-star at the same time.

well.. looking forward to reddit get together tomorrow, so who knows, maybe a star is not that far away?

      okay, round two, here we go.

      oldest: 97

      yes... 97, 3 hrs, 8 Viagra. living hell

      surprised he didn't have a heart attack and die.

      he gave it a good shot but while the spirit and cock were willing, the rest of the body was largely unable.

      he tried to get a refund. dick. he didn't get it.

      youngest: 17 with a fake id

      he admitted he had a fake ID once we were in the room. He was about to ask out a girl he really liked and had no idea what sex was like and was a virgin. he'd been saving for months....

      how do you say no to perseverance like that?

      he was one of the 3 virgins I've seen and he sent me thank you flowers with a note saying he'd "lost his virginity" and felt great about knowing vaguely what to do. I remember him fondly.

      A few married men, have answered elsewhere, but will paste answer here.

      I've actually saved a marriage.

      A regular I had confessed to me that it was his anniversary. I scolded him and told him that his wife deserved at least the respect he could show by being with her on a special occasion. He laughed and said that if it would stop me nagging he would go.

      Two weeks later he returned with his wife in tow. He'd come clean about it all and had entered marriage counseling with his wife. She had wanted to thank me in person for standing up for her, even though I had no reason too.

      That makes me feel better about the numerous married men I undoubtedly see. I guess about 1/3 clients might be married or in a serious relationship. I see quite a few divorcees and widowers. Some those men may lose their marriages or girlfriends over it, but I refuse to take the blame.

      Is it my place to deny them service based on my own moral opinion? I don't feel so. As consenting adults they make that choice to come in and book someone and therefore "cheat". The same way that consenting adults choose to buy porno and alcohol and cigarettes. It may not be good for them and may do them damage, but they have the right to do as they see fit with their lives.

      That's how I deal with it as best I can, but I do sometimes get a little pang when I see that ring on the finger.

      income is split 50/50 mostly, which to my mind is a rip-off, but what can you do?

      will continue soon.

      Annnnd... craziest story, weirdest request!

      i second this

      [–]magdalene25[S] 20 points21 points ago

      sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

      allright, as promised, craziest request:

      Weirdest thing I've ever had was in my first week working.

      Sock Puppets.

      He'd read somewhere that some people got off on sock puppets and he wanted to try it for giggles (very very bored lawyer).

      He got me to talk dirty to him with the puppet and make the puppet give him head.

      By then end of the half hour we were both crying with laughter. Great fun.

      I've also heard of a guy who goes to a prominent brothel in Sydney and asks girls to step on snails in high heels while he jerks off. I have actually met him and been asked to do it by him. I asked if I could cover my shoes with cling wrap or something and he said no. That's the only reason I turned him down, I didn't want snail slime on my shoes the rest of the day.

      I've also had a very shy guy come in with a bachelor party who asked me to slap him in the balls until he came. I established "halt" as the stop-word and "easy" to decrease how hard I slapped. He was moaning "thank you... yes... thank you" even as tears of pain streamed down his face. He came from that alone and was glowing with happiness afterward. He thanked me for not judging him and walked away grinning. That grin made my night.

      So there you have it, top 3 weirdest requests.

        third time lucky, here we go again...

        When I tell others what I do, reactions are definitely mixed. I live in a very bohemian neighborhood so no-one really minds that much. Mum was a bit disturbed when her 18 yr old informed her she wanted to be a prostitute. She took it amazingly well actually, I still admire her so much for supporting me and my choices.

        The most common reaction is that which I've received in this forum; curiosity with an occasional smart-ass and disbeliever. A lot of people just want to know what it's really like.

        I do have one friend who is still chagrined because I'm "worth so much more" despite my reassurances that this is what I want to do, not what I have to do.

        To make your stay with a working lady more enjoyable you can:

        • shave, carefully. go for close but nick-free
        • look up prices before you go in. She doesn't set the prices, the house does. Also...
        • DON'T haggle! You'll most likely get kicked out rather than cheaper service.
        • Ask for anything you want not listed as "standard service" before you choose a lady. Ask each lady you see specifically if she does the things you want (cuddling, kissing, anal, spanish etc). Assume nothing.
        • Don't make a fuss about taking a shower, being inspected and using condoms. Would you have sex with a smelly hooker without a condom if she had odd looking sores? Neither would we. So we ask you be clean, healthy and safe. Is it really so much to ask?
        • Bring a cash tip in advance. If you really enjoyed a lady's service it's always nice to tip. Shame she doesn't take credit card. Just a tip (puntastic!!!)
        • Don't assume that she does deep throat. It is HARD to do! I personally can due to a largely redundant gag-reflex, but even I get caught by some guy thrusting down my windpipe every now and then. We need to breathe!
        • OK, I'm going to abuse caps for this one. NO WOMAN I HAVE EVER MET LIKES A TONGUE IN HER EAR, HAVING HER BELLY SLOBBERED ON OR SWEAT BLOWN INTO HER EAR. Seriously, these are three things that I encounter so often it's ridiculous. They are cliches to begin with and when done badly they're just gross. I've actually thrown up a little in my mouth once because of a tongue stuck into my ear. No, just no.

        Beyond that, be polite and remember that these are real people you're meeting, fucking and talking to. Don't treat us like blow-up dolls. There's a big difference. Like we have teeth... evil grin

        food, then craziest story.

            • Was there a unique request that you absolutely turned down? What was it? Did the person offer more money?

            • Was there a session or a regular that you enjoyed (i.e orgasms or you actually came?).

            • Do you keep yourself different from the others who work with you in order for more selection for the clients? I mean like weight, haircut, look, etc. (For example, a worker might be overweight to satisfy the clients who are into that sorta thing)

            • Follow up question: Are there many varieties of workers at your place? Tall, short, busty, curvy, overweight, different races? Does an 'exotic' worker (someone different from the norm like a foreigner) get more clients?

            • Did you ever get any women clients?

            • How angry are the clients if they ejaculate too early (like under 1 min)? Do they ask for a second go? Do you let them?

            Or do you charge extra for a second go? Or is it by the hour?

            I'm fine if they want to go again, and it's not extra. usually, it's a case of over-excitement or even a medical issue. I'm not going to clamp down and say "no, you came that's it" when they are there to enjoy themselves. my job is to help them relax, feel at ease and enjoy themselves sexually and otherwise.

            here is where a lot of people are unclear. You pay by time not act. as long as that buzzer hasn't gone, it's him, me and nothing else matters except enjoying each other.

            How do you reconcile (or is there even a need to do so) the difference between sex you enjoy with your fiancee and the sex you have as an occupation? The basic act is unchanged, so in one case you're sharing your body with someone because you love each other and in the other you're doing it for money. Does one kind of sexual connection (work or personal) ever influence the other?

            [–]magdalene25[S] 29 points30 points ago

            sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

            that's a hard one....

            well, when I'm with my fiancee, i enjoy it and it's a bout me enjoying him and vice versa, I'm a bit more demanding and since we've been together a while we've come to know what each other likes, so it's really a lot smoother and more naturally flowing.

            At work it tends to be more me trying to do my best to please the client without over-stepping my boundaries. It's far more giving and less taking. It's sort of like the difference between talking to an old friend and forcing conversation with someone at a dinner party. It's superficially the same thing, but not really.

            Does that answer your question?

                sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

                I get about $120-150 an hour. a year? it's an off and on job to be honest and the recession has screwed things royally.

                I got my start when a charming boyfriend (now ex) said that with a body like mine i could be a stripper.

                I said "but I can't dance! I'll kill someone!"

                "well, you suck a good cock, how about a hooker?"

                it was a joke at the time, but it planted the seeds of an idea.

                I applied at a place and started the same day. from there I liked the money, the work was quite bearable and I stayed.

                hope that covers it.

                It would still be very interesting to know how much you, roughly, earn per year or month. I mean when you earn 120$/hour but only get to work two hours/week than that's not so much. How much time do you spend waiting for clients?

                2. Do men ever bring their partners for a threesome?

                3. What exactly are the laws? Is there a loophole that you're exploiting, or is it explicitly legal?

                4. Do you ever get bored?

                5. How many of your friends/family members know?

                6. What safety measures are in place to ensure you don't get beat up or something?

                I can answer 3 and 6 for her:

                1. Its explicitly legal in Australia under certain conditions. Finding those conditions can be a bit messy but in general a brothel must be approved by the local council to be considered legal and girls must adhere to a level of safety (safe sex and regular STD checks).

                2. Different places have different measures but the biggest safety measure is the same as the local mall - you're extremely unlikely to get away with it. Apart from that though there's usually some security hiding somewhere, cameras, concealed panic buttons in the room and people that will check on you if you go too far over time.

                          Already answered most of these. I do kiss some clients where appropriate (see "Hey reddit, do hookers kiss?" for details). I also offer light domination, spanking (no marks please) and GFE (girl-friend experience, which to me, basically means I act like a real person. I sort of provide this one no matter what).

                          I don't offer anal, heavy BDSM, golden showers, brown showers, "party" bookings (more than one guy and usually drugs) or costume fantasies (i don't have the costumes).

                          1) Do you enjoy the sex, or just wait for it to be over?

                          2) Do you treat clients differently based on how attractive you'd find them in nonworking life?

                          When you go to work, do you feel like you maintain your usual personality around your customers, or do you play a part? Depending on what type of customer you're dealing with, do you find your demeanor changes to cater to their wants?

                          Also, what's the grossest thing you've been asked to do?

                          Gave one the other day when I couldn't provide service because he looked like he had a painful STD. Also, one complete douche-bag after he didn't climax (he was 97 and on Viagra for gods sake!)

                            They say that 5.5-6" is average, is that true in your line of work too or do many of the customers have below average sizes? (As in they go to a brothel b//c they lack confidence about their size or something)

                                  Personally, I don't have any biases against prostitution as long as it safe and everyone involved knows. I would just be pissed if I found out my long term boyfriend was cheating on me in this manner. Any problems that you encounter as far as angry wives/girlfriends go?

                                  I've actually saved a marriage.

                                  A regular I had confessed to me that it was his anniversary. I scolded him and told him that his wife deserved at least the respect he could show by being with her on a special occasion. He laughed and said that if it would stop me nagging he would go.

                                  Two weeks later he returned with his wife in tow. He'd come clean about it all and had entered marriage counseling with his wife. She had wanted to thank me in person for standing up for her, even though I had no reason too.

                                  That makes me feel better about the numerous married men I undoubtedly see. I guess about 1/3 clients might be married or in a serious relationship. I see quite a few divorcees and widowers. Some those men may lose their marriages or girlfriends over it, but I refuse to take the blame.

                                  Is it my place to deny them service based on my own moral opinion? I don't feel so. As consenting adults they make that choice to come in and book someone and therefore "cheat". The same way that consenting adults choose to buy porno and alcohol and cigarettes. It may not be good for them and may do them damage, but they have the right to do as they see fit with their lives.

                                  That's how I deal with it as best I can, but I do sometimes get a little pang when I see that ring on the finger.

                                  One of the reasons I wish it was legal in the US. I lost my wife suddenly and unexpectedly last June. 2-3 weeks later, my hormones went NUTS, and I wondered what the hell was wrong with me. It just made the sadness and depression worse. There were months where at times all I wanted was someone to hold me, even if I had to pay for the service.

                                  Apparently the hormone surge is perfectly normal after losing a spouse, according to other widows and widowers I've talked to.

                                  The desire to be held and find companionship was certainly not unique to you. And some men even prefer to find it in a brothel. Something about the business side of it makes it less hurtful to the memory of who you've lost. Because that's all it is - someone to hold, not someone to replace.

                                  I sincerely hope you found someone during that time or since.

                                  Your story is very interesting. I wonder if this has to do with rebounding off of a relationship or divorce as well. If you never see the person again then your body may react as if they are dead.

                                  I would love to see research on this issue.

                                  I hope that things have stabilized for you.

                                  My first relationship (and intimacy) with someone after losing my wife (who I had been with for 11 years) was with someone who had themselves lost a spouse two years ago.

                                  It was the best thing that could have ever happened to me - she knew exactly what I was going through, and was kind, gentle, loving, caring, and didn't get mad if something reminded me of my wife and made me cry.

                                  The first time being intimate with someone after eleven years with the same person was sort of awkward, but everything ended up okay.

                                  I'm no longer dating the person in question, but we're still very good friends and talk every couple of days.

                                  An elderly couple on their 60th anniversary came in and wanted 2 girls to help them. They had both had various joint issues etc and just wanted open minded (and aesthetically pleasing) assistants so they could have sex on their anniversary.

                                  Was one of the most touching, heart-warming things I have ever known.

                                        I'm really curious about your boyfriend/fiancee and how he deals with the situation.

                                        • Has he/does he get jealous?
                                        • Is he in a similar industry?
                                        • Is sex with him different than with your clients?
                                        • Do you have repeat clients or "regulars"?
                                        • Do you want/have kids?
                                        • What PC games do you play?
                                        • Have you thought about quitting smoking?

                                        • I don't get jealous of bookings. I don't really have anything to be jealous about as I get it ten times better than anyone who walks in with a fist full of $50 notes will get.

                                        • Nope, I'm not in even a vaguely similar industry. My job is entirely non-sexual.

                                        • Yes, sex at home is different than at work (even when it was at work with me).

                                        • Yes she does. This is the ideal situation for a sex worker - a group of trusted, regular punters.

                                        • We don't have them, but will one day. Its extremely unlikely that she will keep working when we do have them.

                                        • She's been playing Dragon Age / Mass Effect 2 a lot and once upon a time was addicted to that horrible psuedo game The Sims. I expect to be downvoted and punched for saying that.

                                        • She has thought about it (and done it!) and I actually have permission to kick her arse if I catch her having another one.

                                        Training was largely selfish ex boyfriend. Lol, no, no training, sorta got thrown in the deep end. Started at a place and was told that my first booking would be a double so I could see what to do.

                                        I got paired with an awful lady who was jealous of my youth (she was 37 I was 18) and she scammed me out of my money.

                                        After having sex with my first client I watched him have sex with the other girl all the while wondering WTF was going on. From there I got used to it and treated it like boyfriends I'd had who had no clue about sex but I'd really liked. It worked like a charm and has ever since.

                                        hope that covers it.

                                          Considering you're probably giving quite a few handjobs over the course of days/weeks/months, how seriously do you think about the possibilty of RSI?

                                          I have actually nearly gotten it once.

                                          Had a regular client who was in denial about his erectile problems (at 67 I was impressed he was doing as well as he was) and he would come in about 2-3 times a week and believed in value for money. So if he couldn't get hard enough for sex, he wanted a hand job. After wanking this guy off for a total of about 60mins a week, plus all the other clients I was seeing, I actually started to get stabbing pains in my wrist when I clenched a fist.

                                          Saw my doctor who told me I had to take it easy or risk RSI or similar afflictions.

                                          We don't get paid sick leave :-P so I told that client I had to cut down on the wanking. So he slunk off muttering to find the next newest girl who didn't have the assertiveness to say no.

                                          Yeah, he was a bit of a dick.

                                              Did the doctor ask you what you were doing to risk RSI? I'm trying to picture the conversation:

                                              Dr: So, Magdalene, what do you do at work that is causing all this stress on your wrist?

                                              Magdalene: Oh, I'm a wanker, like literally. No joke, I acutally have to wank off some bloke a few times a week.

                                              Dr: Alrightly then, take it easy with the wrist, lov.

                                                Not unless you count sympathy from the other girls. Here In-house (brothel) sexwork is a grey area where it's never been properly established if we are employees or sub-contractors. Which basically means we get fucked by management as well, in that we get the worst of both worlds. No comp, sick leave etc. but... we can be fired and have employee-like restrictions on our work choices.

                                                I've had a brothel owner threaten me with dismissal if I didn't sleep with him.

                                                I told him he could get fucked.

                                                From what I understand, he did, by another girl who was more scared for her job. Needless to say, I don't work there anymore.

                                                They try occasionally but it is considered extremely unprofessional and is usually your cue to walk out and not come back.

                                                More common seems to be management giving their friends house discounts where the punter only needs to pay for the lady, not the room. This is also pretty dubious but usually tolerated.

                                                  UK politicians have decided that this year's made-up reason for not legalising prostitution is "people trafficking", i.e., kidnapping girls and importing them to the UK to be sex slaves in licensed brothels (which actually happens in the illegal brothels at the moment).

                                                  What kind of measures are taken in Aus to prevent anything like this from happening?

                                                  Not enough. The first place I worked was raided by the police. During the raid we found out that two Thai girls we had come to like were in fact both illegal immigrants and 16-17.

                                                  The reason for this is that they were promised transport and work in Australia. However, when they got here, they were used as sex slaves until they "paid off their debt" which was supposedly incurred coming over. When the bastards were done with them they dumped them in a foreign capital city, with nothing. So the girls turned to all they knew of Australia. They became sex workers.

                                                  I feel so badly for what those went through, and I hope they were dealt with fairly, but it should not have happened in the first place.

                                                  Mind you, prostitution does not cause people to do these things, so I don't see why the UK politicians feel this is a reasonable excuse for criminalizing a perfectly decent profession.

                                                  Prostitution is legal in the UK.

                                                  Brothels are illegal.

                                                      You have to remember the cost of the Pepto-Bismal isn't factored in.

                                                          Thanks for the AMA! I have some questions:

                                                          Roughly/exactly how many men have you had sex with?

                                                          Do you ever enjoy it/climax?

                                                          Anything you won't do/will do that other hookers might/might not?

                                                          How does it affect your sex life with your fiancee? I would imagine making something your profession must take at least some of the fun out of an activity.

                                                          To what extent do you think the industry is legit? I was recently in Amsterdam and did a little reading into the situation there and it turns out there is still pimping/trafficking involved. I realise the situations are not the exact same but I just imagine there might be a similar issue where you are?

                                                          Do you have a certain point at which you plan to end your career as a hooker? (Maybe a certain age or when you are married etc) Or do you plan to stay in the game for the foreseeable future?

                                                          Thanks again!

                                                          3 times. I tried to be gentle.

                                                          As the title says, I'm a hooker in Sydney. I live with my long-term boyfriend/fiancee (he knows)

                                                          So if your fiancee engages in sexual intercourse with other females, you'd wouldn't have any feelings of chagrin?

                                                          EDIT: Toned down question a bit.

                                                          She doesn't mind me being a manslut in the slightest. And (forgive me females) not in that "No I don't mind. I promise I don't mind. Its fine. Really. You Bastard" kind of way.

                                                          But that's actually more a part of having an open relationship. Which we would probably have even if she WASN'T working.

                                                          I concur. I actually am fine with it. I have known each of his "others" and even recommended the last one to him (she's a great girl, I just knew they'd get along!).

                                                          A valid question, rather rudely stated though. Edit: Original question was edited, making this seem silly.

                                                          Maybe if he got paid for it. She isn't giving it away.

                                                          Why the downvotes? It's a legitimate question, in my opinion. Although it probably could have been worded a little better.

                                                            ok. got to go and live my real life. however, before i go, something to read:

                                                            The Bare Bones:

                                                            -Introduction I go out to meet the prospective client, usually in a private meeting room or a lounge setting. I'll introduce myself and give him my name, venture a little conversation and ask if he has any special requests or questions. This is his cue to ask for kissing, anal, BDSM or any other possible "extras" he may be interested in. If i offer them, I'll let him know my prices for various services and leave him to decide who he would like to see.

                                                            -The Setting Up If he has chosen me, I'll take him into a private room and I'll ask to do a quick inspection before anything else gets started. This is a quick check of his genitals for any obvious signs of STD's. If all looks fine then I'll ask him to hop into the shower while i put a cover sheet on the bed, arrange the pillows and get him a drink if he wants it. From here, it varies a bit but...

                                                            -The Standard Booking I'll usually get him to lie down and relax, then ask him if he'd like to undress me or like a little striptease. From there I usually let things go into some stroking and massage, maybe a body-slide if he's into that sort of thing. I'll usually put the condom on with my mouth because the suction means it unrolls a lot more smoothly and it gives them less reason/opportunity to ask to go without it. Usually a bit of oral sex, always protected and then I prefer to be on top for the sex because then if he's a bit chubbier I'm not being smothered and if he sweats a lot I don't get rained on.

                                                            Also, girl on top works well because if he's longer or rougher than I'm used to I can control the depth and pace. we'll usually switch positions a few times (doggy-style is great to finish if you're running out of time) and then once he's either finished, or our time is up...

                                                            -The Clean-Up I'll let him have another shower if he wants it, strip off the used sheet and have a shower myself. After that I'll bundle any used towels in the sheet, and put any rubbish in a separate rubbish bag. From there I will say goodbye, give him a kiss on the cheek and clean up the rest of the room as best I can.

                                                            god, OK, a lot of people asking questions that have been asked before and a lot of people saying I'm not answering fast enough.

                                                            Look at the size of the thread now! i intend to answer as many as I can.

                                                            BUT

                                                            could people please look to see if someone else has asked their question already? my brain is starting to hurt.

                                                                      Does he get any say in who you work with? What if his dad or brother visited you at work?

                                                                      Have you ever said anything in your sleep to piss him off?

                                                                      Would you do an ex-bf that you know your bf hates if the ex-bf paid?

                                                                      Would you get mad if your bf cheated on you? Would you get mad if he cheated then got twenty-five cents afterwards every time just to make it ok?

                                                                      How does he feel when he wants a bj but is denied bc your neck hurts too much from working all day? Anything like this ever happen?

                                                                      I don't talk in my sleep that he's mentioned.

                                                                      Most of the 'Would you do x' questions can be answered this way: There is always a strict separation between people she knows from work and people she knows personally. These two groups never mix. She never sees clients outside of work. She never takes a booking from someone she knows from outside work. Keeps things simple.

                                                                      She doesn't mind if I cheat on her. I usually tell her "I'm going cheating" before I go. She helps me pick out my clothes. However I would be mad if I only got 25 cents. I'm worth at least twice that.

                                                                      And the last part - how does any guy feel when their partner says they're too tired because work? Whatever that work may be...

I've never understood why today's society insists that sex is "Dirty", "Immoral", "Seedy", and "Filthy". Why should those who work in legal sex trade be looked down upon? Sex is, quite frankly, an awesome, fun, healthy thing, and it's nice to find people who understand that. It's not illegal to rub someone's shoulders for cash, nor to kiss them, nor to get naked for them. Why on earth should sex, the one thing EVERYONE enjoys to some extent, be criminalized? I say kudos to you, magdalene25. If I could legally collect money from people for having sex with them, I'd be on the bandwagon as well. Well... that is if people were WILLING to pay me for sex, but that's a whole different issue.

                                                                            • How often and extensive is the STD screening for the women?

                                                                            • Is there any kind of screening process at the brothel for the clients or girls/guys (STD, Criminal background, etc)?

                                                                            • What is your routine after you finish with a session? Do you shower, etc or is it straight to the next client?

                                                                            • How much do you usually make a night/week?

                                                                            Magdalene isn't actually a throw away account, this is just its first post.

                                                                            Also, I assure you that spending a session talking certainly isn't a waste. I've booked a few girls where we have barely touched and I still consider it money well spent. The only time its a waste is when the person you book is well.. a dickhead.

                                                                            I'll answer your questions (I'm her BF) as she plows through 300 other comments.

                                                                            • I think this has been/will be answered elsewhere but the quick rundown: Guy comes in, gets shown to an intro area, probably offered a drink. Girls come in one and a time and introduce themselves. Reception comes back and asks if you'd like to book any of the girls, then arranges time and payment while the girl gets ready. She'll then take you up to the room, check your junk for any signs of STDs and tell you to jump in the shower. After the shower, what you do is between you and her. After the session you usually have another shower, while she neatens up the room. You leave, she uses a private shower and gets ready for the next intro.

                                                                            • Visual checks and latex (including for oral sex, him or her).

                                                                            • Requirements vary state by state, but she usually gets a full screen every month when she's working.

                                                                            • Again, there will be a visual check looking for any spots, wounds, discharge etc. If there is even the slightest sign of a STD they're told to go to a doctor, not a brothel. As for background, not really.

                                                                            • How much she makes varies from $0 to $800. It varies wildly, especially with the economy being a bit dodgy. Celebratory holidays tend to bring more people in, family holidays tend to drive many away.

                                                                            • She usually works 3 times a week. Some parlors are 24/7, some close for holidays. WHERE you work somewhat dictates WHEN you work.

                                                                            • As for running one... its a fine line between the people side and the business side. Its a balance very few places manage to get right. There are however some obvious things we'd do differently - for example most places turn a blind eye to drug usage in the rooms. That's not cool in our opinion. Yes.. there are actually walking cliches who take off their suit coat, grab a bag of blow and go out to book 3 hookers at once.

                                                                            If I missed anything, Magdalene has probably answered it elsewhere. Our house is currently echoing with the sounds of frenzied keyboard stabbing.

                                                                            When I get someone who wants to talk, or someone playful it's more interesting. One of my most entertaining jobs was a gentleman who was too nervous to actually have sex, but was there with a bachelor party. We talked about comics, AD&D and how T.V. has gone all to hell. At one point I laughed until my sides hurt. He was lovely. At other times it is quite definitely work. People who are (pardon my french) just "out for a fuck" or "don't wantcha to talk at me".... well.... The other night a john (who was on quite a bit of coke, steroids and viagra...charming) commented that he wanted "a girl without feelings, who won't talk at me, I just want a girl to fuck". I commented that you can find those in inflatable versions. People like that are work. Then there are the kind who need careful handling, erectile problems, freshly broken up, lonely, and sometimes even virgins. They can be pleasant to be with, but they are still "work" because I have to be sure that I"m being sensitive to their needs and wants as well as keeping it feeling relatively natural and seamless.

                                                                            And the waiting.... god it's quiet at the moment. The waiting is definitely work.

I will admit that some of them I am more than happy to forget, but no two are alike and I care about these people because they have come to me for something they need. no matter what you're after, sex is a personal thing, so I care about them in a sense of I'm sort of caring for them.

                                                                            does that make any sense?

                                                                                Anyway, do you have any advice or suggestions? What are some of the annoying things you've had previous customers do that I should try to avoid?

                                                                                Would you still have chosen this profession if it were illegal?

I'd rather do it legally and be able to report a rape/assault/stalker without having to hide essential details.

                                                                                I get a vaginal screen every month or two (three is the requirement) blood tests every 3 months and a cervical swab every 6 months to check fir HPV etc.

                                                                                I've also had all the vaccines I had been told by my doctor are relevant (malaria... Not so much).

                                                                                I have caught 1 STD in my life and I got that when I was living in a hostel and slept with a backpacker without protection.

                                                                                I have NEVER caught an STD from work. Keep in mind I have slept with probably 600-700 clients. Safe sex works.
