So a few months ago i decided to become a prostitue..

[Priscilla]

When i turn 18.

what is wrong with me???

i was talking to my friends mother, and she said i didn't have a low enough self-esteem to become a prostitue.
ha.

[no-one]

Please don't, someone in my family died because of this! I wouldn't want it to happen to you too :(

Well I suppose the question would be easier to answer if we knew what kind you wanted to be. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it. In a way, I am one. I go on sites looking for SugarDaddy's. Everyone says that that is different from prostitution when they do it, and in some ways it IS, but in some ways it also isn't.

If this is really what you want to do then you need to learn all you can about it so that you can be as safe as possible. Personally though I wouldn't "walk the streets" I'd go online and make a few profiles on legitimate sites as a SugarBaby. If you don't want the full relationship that that name entails just make it known in your profile that you are looking for more of a NSA arrangement.

[Priscilla]

Oh, i would never, ever be a walking the streets one.
I was thinking more like looking through craigslist
they have adverts for escort services, or just general adverts from people

actually, i just started reading blog of a sugarbaby, and this is seeming far more appealing to me...

this is something i would not recommend doing, because later ... you may decide you dont want to do it any more, and get into something else... then you meet a nice guy who wants to get married...

you may want to be upfront with him and tell him about your past, like just incase something happens and he somehow finds out from someone else...

then you have to live with him knowing what your were. it may be ok. it may not be. you wont know until that day.

if you never want to get married and just want temporary relationships, then i would agree... learn as much as you can so you can be safe from harm and diseases.

good luck hun.

I kinda feel the same.. I think it would be super fun to be a stripper.. maybe a pornstar.. but idk.. it seems so frowned upon. But I can't think of any other job I would want..

i was a stripper.

i loved being on stage and everyone looking and smiling at me

i hated the rest of it

nice guys dont want anything to do with strippers though...

if i could go back, i would not have done it

people in my life remember it, and let me know sometimes :(

I know i wouldnt want a girlfriend that has been a prostitute, or a history like that. And would break up if i was told even. It would make me as a guy feel like just a ""number on the list"" to girl. But most guys arent like me :P, And its ur decisicion what to do with ur life.

[averageguy]

I don't know if I'm the odd one out of guys, but it wouldn't bother me if the girl was a stripper. On the other hand, prostitute is another matter, but it would be more dependant on if she regretted doing it and why she did it in the first place.

[Priscilla]

yes, i do understand that this may not be the lifestyle that future boyfriends would approve of, but in all honesty, it's unlikely i would tell them. everyone has a past and if i ever met someone who i truely wanted to be with completely, then of course i would give everything up. I'm not normally one for relationships, maybe because i haven't met the right person, so a mutually beneficial relationship seems perfect for me.
I'm not going to lie, i'm doing this for the money. I'm not horrendously impoverished, and i do have an actual job aswell as being in full time education, but i want more. I don't want to have to save and scrimp like i have to now, i don't get any money off my parents, obviously, and i because we're not rolling in money, i hate to ask them for anything, even if i know i would pay them back.
I'm not shouting from the rooftops telling everyone what i'm doing either, only one close friend and her mum [who's really rather cool and we always joke about becoming prostitutes together] know, and she knows because this way, i will be able to tell someone where i am if i'm meeting someone, to be safe.
I'm not walking round the streets asking guys in cars, i'm on a sugar daddy website, and i know how to be safe and screen people.

So basically, i'm trying to do this the 'right' way!
I know people wouldn't approve, but to be honest, sex is only sex. I don't think it's special, unless with that one person you truely love, and hey, i haven't found them yet.
but of course everyone has the right to their own opinion! and i can totally see why people would be against it(:

i do want to thank everyone for the safety warnings though, it makes me feel like people actually care (:

You're 17 and thinking about being a hooker? Look up the Craig's list murders and it might change your mind. Either you're fishing for attention or you're just dumb. Get a job and keep your clothes on and mouth shut.

Ivory, just chill. Every single comment you make is condescending and rude. Honestly, you're on a support site for eating disorders and personality disorders.... What the hell do you expect? We're all just one big mess and we love each other, so if you're here to act holier-than-though just leave. We don't need your shit and honestly if you're just going to be disrespectful, nobody is going to care at all what you have to say.

To the original poster- Honestly, don't. You'll feel so much worse about yourself in the long run and it's unbelievably dangerous. I know what its like in times of desperation, but this is one thing that just needs to be avoided completely. Hang in there, dear <3

[never_skinny]

My advice to you: get a private lisence, or join an escort service.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE REGISTERED WITH THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES, OR YOU *WILL* GET RIPPED OFF, MISTREATED AND OVERWORKED.

When my body fat gets below 20% (medical proof that I'm not fat), I'm rewarding myself with becoming an escort. Hey, getting paid $130+ an hour to have sex with rich, powerful men? Yes, please.

ivory has been moved back to his reservation

[skinnygirl]

lol :) at one point in my life i was also thinking of becoming one .. i really dont know why ..

[UsedRomance]

Me too. I never planned to actually do it but it was just something I would think about.

I actually have a friend who is a prostitute. I'm not too sure of the exact details but I think she uses a website to generate her clients. She's not one of the high-end escorts but she's not a £20-a-go streetwalker either. Somewhere in the middle.

In terms of pay, prostitutes do quite well. Do it in an area where it's legal and safe (ie Nevada) where you work for a company that does periodic health checks to ensure your well being (as well as providing things like condoms).

As for how people received this decision of yours, it's your body and as long as you are within the law then it's your decision to make. There is nothing wrong with earning money this way.
