I know two women who worked as high class call girls during most of their 20s. Both from good (and intact) families, no drug or alcohol abuse, they don’t even smoke. Settled now, married w/kids, very well adjusted, normal boring lives. There’s a huge difference between street hookers and escorts, both in the way the run the business and the way they are treated. Most of the men involved treated them like jewels, not like a person that should be looked down on. It wasn’t their looks, or bodies although they’re nice, not execeptional, it was the power thing someone mentioned above. Being part of an elite group of people, the knowledge that they could *afford* to pay for the company of a lovely woman for the evening. It wasn’t about the looks or bodies of the wives or even the sex life at home.
Funnily enough, one of the questions they got asked the most was about the wierdos and they have to admit that most of the guys, it was just plain vanilla sex. No whips, no costumes, nothing out of the ordinary. They said it was a very interesting time in their lives, they got to go places and do things they might never have gotten to do (no pun intended) and be treated as ladies during. It’s very interesting to talk to them.
i hope their husbands know they married former whores :)
