As an escort you are accused of being one of two things: in it for the sex or in it for the money, or some bizarre nonsensical combination of both.  Clients think you are a slut or money-hungry (they assume drugs, drink, shopping, or a circle of bratty children you delivered far too young.) 

Am I slutty? No.  Am I money-hungry? Yes, to the point of everyone else who must work for a living.

So here's my final tally.

Financial Summary of 7 years.  During my time as a hooker I have bought:


  • A BA and an MA
  • An oppressive number of books, mostly school related
  • 6 weeks in El Salvador, 3 week trip to Paris, 3 week trip to Belgium and Luxembourg, 3 weeks in Wales, 2 weeks in Iceland, 3 weeks in the Yukon, countless trips to (dull) Canadian destinations
  • Déménagement from Vancouver to Edmonton, to Halifax
  • Bunny maintenance (v. pricey)
  • food, rent, phone, electricity, internet
  • one thousand applications to phD and law school programs.
  • one LSAT
  • shoes
  • certificate of mental stability (black market)
  • kidneys (black market, white van, big mistake)
Not bad, I say!  I shall now go forth into the future with excellent life experience and the ability to properly process liquids.

  1. I was definitely addicted to the sex. Ooh it was SOOO good. Oh wait, I'm thinking of something else. Maybe it was the rent and food money.
