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)
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.
