Was this just "telling it like it is"? or was it glamourising prostitution

[Sachs]

Sounds like she was just telling it like it is jake! The story would have been leaked either way, she beat him to it!

Jake.....she didn't .......or there wasn't..............how do I put this?..............was there a telephone number?

[redman41]

LOL Squad ! I could do with her Tel No as well !!

[Sqad]

red....didn't she look a "cracker?" I would have had £300 worth of that anytime.

she insists that was really how it was: I'd hardly call it glamorous, but it was lucrative, and she wasn't in danger and didn't turn into a crack *** or anything. Ideally, that's how the whole industry would be run, though I suppose there would have to be Happy Hours for people who couldn't afford those rates.

Agitators for sex workers have claimed the job isn't like that at all; but it appears hers was and presumably so are those of at least other people in the same line.

Apparently though, she continued the blog even after giving up the job. So I wonder how true all of it was.

You go first Squad and give her a good rogering.......she might then be too weak to ask for money from me ! lol

[Booldawg]

£300 a hour! She has a wonky face - does that justify the price tag?

[BertiWooster]

I'ts not true - she's a nice catholic girl

[China Doll]

Ha! I was sure it would be a man, it read like the 'woman' who does a blog in Nuts or whatever lads magazine I read it in.

I didn't think it was particularly glamorous to be honest Jake, in fact I found it kind of dull and centred towards drawing and keeping the attention of men. Which I assume to be a good escort is kind of what you want to happen. When it comes right down to the nitty gritty, it's really just a fairly grubby (although enjoyable) exchange of bodily fluids...Fun but even without the exchange of money, rarely glamorous.

I'm trying to work out if I'd be more peeved if my (fiction) daughter admitted she was a high class escort or a contender on Big Brother... ;0)
