I started out being a webcam model, and webmaster affiliate, then

for an LA company I really admire then I started into stripping
then into escorting.
What is your preferred job title?
my job title is adult entertainer.
How did you decide which type of sex work was right for
you?
I didn't really decide which sex work was right for me, when I got
started thinking about working in the industry I did not know where
to start, and I just started thinking about doing the easiest thing
I knew, emailing porn websites about how to get into the business
and looked up porn job websites on the internet, and called guys
I knew who knew girls who were stripping, and asked them to help
me.
How did you find your job?
I found my first video work from an adult job websites, a girl called
me and asked If I wanted to shoot a video. I said yes then she explained
to the me the job description in about 2 days I was doing the shoot
for an unknown company and guy and walking out with 300$ I never
saw that guy again, but I am very good friends with the girl who
got me my first job, then I started looking into the Eye and Now
papers for more adult jobs, and saw an appealing ad for webcam models
wanted to live in a house and pay only 400$ a month for rent.
Briefly describe your working environment
For webcam shows & my phone with cam shows I work from home,
for my website videos I travel to the states about 3 to 4 times
a year, and they set me up in hotels or condos for shooting for
photos and videos, for escoting I work in an incall place.
How do most clients find you and/or book an appointment
with you?
For webcam shows & phone sex - I work on a
commercial website, that handles all the advertising, I log on daily
for about 1 to 4 hours, I get paid cam shows when a viewers clicks
on nude private chat. With the phone sex site, I promote myself
and the host website also has advertising oppurtunities where I
can join listing groups, or pay for front page advertising. When
I get a phone call the system will tell there is a caller waiting
to connect once the connection is made I am paid per minute for
the call and during the call I turn on my webcam using a webcam
software like yahoo messenger.
Website Videos - I work exclusively with one
website company, they will call me about 2 months in advance for
my shoots. They buy my plane tickets and pick me up from the airport.
They also pay for my travel, food and lodging, and sometimes they
will take me out for entertainment like movies or dinners or event
parties.

tips, and phone with cam shows. On average making about 15 to 50$
per phone with cam shows call. getting about 1 to 3 phone with cam
shows per day.
What's your weirdest client/session/call/request?
The weirdest thing I have seen on cam during webcam shows that invovled
cam2cam shows would be a male viewer ejaculation on his table and
licking it up. as for escorting I try to avoid weird situations
as much possible there was one situation where a client booked for
an appointment, comfirmed, requested I have a certain type of lingere,
show up to location, get into the room and about 10 minutes decide
to leave and almost try not to pay me for my time. on a video set
the weirdest thing have been requested in a scence would be doing
a 2girl on 1 scence wiht strap-ons, and me getting nervous about
being on a high-end production set and breaking out in hives.

on each time I fly out for shooting. I get paid 50/50 of memberships

weeks worth of work.

What do you like most about your job?
I like being the certain of attention, I like knowing the client
or viewer paying to see me is in love with me for that moment they
visit, buy a membership, call me on the phone.
What do you like least?
I do not like how guys assume I am not human, they have this idea
that nothing bad ever happens to me and they have this impression
that I fall out of bed looking perfect with hair and nails and clothes.
like I am a barbie doll.
What would you like people to know about your work?
It's easy money, but not for everyone and be sure you have the willpower
to stop anytime.
If you could go back in time, and tell yourself one thing
just as you were getting started in sex work, what would it be?
It's not fast money, it takes time to build yourself a fan club,
or client base and regulars who keep your busy. It's pshycially,
mentally and emotionally draining, you can only go full speed for
a short period of time, so you have to take breaks in between, each
day is always different so you have to plan for the slow days. |
