I’m not what you would call a ‘young escort’ but at 35 I would hardly class myself as ancient. And in fact, in any other walk of life I’d be still be considered pretty youthful. But in the escort business, age matters.
Having said that, I was lucky enough to find a London Escort Agency that was willing to take on someone in their mid thirties – which was a bit more enlightened than I found many London Escort Agencies to be.
Why did I begin my escort career at such a late stage in my life? I’d reached a crossroad in my life where, although I had a well-paid job in law, it bored me to tears. And it was also pretty hard going – which isn’t a great combination. I knew I needed to do something else to get out of the rut I felt myself sinking in to. But with college fees the way they are there was no way I could afford to go back and retrain for three or four years.
I’d met escorts in my twenties and actually had a friend who was in the profession while I still worked as a lawyer. I’d see her going around dressed to the nines, always beautifully turned out but most of all, happy. She was always nipping off somewhere nice for the weekends too while I sat and stewed over a defence report for Monday in court.
We only get one life and I knew as I stood at that mental crossroads that I was getting closer and closer to running down the unknown path. My escort friend took me under her wing and explained the Do’s and Don’ts of the professional while I went about working out my notice.
That was eight months ago. Do I regret it? There are days when I feel a bit wobbly but then I’d hardly be ‘normal’ if I didn’t. And those days are always centred around meeting someone – usually a family member – who have felt the right to express their disapproval at me ‘throwing away’ my legal career. But then, I’d say that’s more a problem for them than it ever will be for me.
