Sex Industry eXposed

PSYCHOLOGIST WITH A HAPPY ENDING!!!

What is psychology? - The scientific study of the human mind and its functions, especially those affecting behaviour in a given context; the mental characteristics or attitude of a person.

When I first started in the sex industry I was shocked to learn that in the escort game, sex, was a very small part of the overall girlfriend experience these girls provided.

Some of the girls had regular clients they had been seeing for years. These men would book just to discuss their day, their fears, their dreams or whatever was on their mind. Most of the regular clients would book the same girl once a week for years, just to have a chat. The smarter the escort is and the easier she is to talk to, the more popular she would be.

So I got to thinking maybe these men had issues they couldn't discuss with family or friends, maybe they needed an outsiders opinion. Why not just go to a psychiatrist or psychologist, they are the professionals, trained to deal with issues. I just couldn't understand it till the other night.

I'm sure you all read the sook I had in my last post about the fall out with my publisher one month before my book was due to be released!!

Well I had overwhelming support from family and friends, I had comments on Facebook, hundreds of consoling emails telling me not to stress and I'll get a better publisher and so on. The truth is I was shattered, even though it was my call. I started doubting my decision and questioning if maybe I had been too hasty. I spent two days in bed alone feeling sorry for myself I've spent the last 8 months concentrating on the book, I haven't worked or claimed unemployment benefits, I've been living off my savings waiting for my book release and in the heat of a bad moment I blew it all up.

Poor me, look at me!!!

Friday night I did what I do best, spend money. I called my favourite escort, Christina, and pre booked her for 4 hours. I stocked up on Moët and substances and planned to have a sex marathon. She arrived looking stunning as always, I tried to put my happy face on even though I felt like a bag of shit. I've been seeing her regularly for 4 years so she picked that I wasn't right immediately...

Ladies and gentlemen for the first 3 hours of the booking we spoke!! I divulged things to her, about myself, I haven't told anyone!!!  She gave me advice Freud would have been proud of. She single handily brought me back to reality and gave me the new found confidence I needed to start my search for a new publisher...the last hour we spent in my room doing what she does best. When she left I finally got it, why clients spend so much money to talk. These girls tell you the truth and not just what you want to hear!! And the best part is it comes with a happy ending!

Best $2000 I've spent all year - look out publishers here I come!!!!

A SYNTHETIC ILLUSION (update)

I would like to thank you all for your support.

In the last 3 months I've accumulated over 13,000 followers on my Facebook, over 10,000 on my Blogspot and Google +.

I'm receiving thousands of e mails asking me about the release date of my book so I've decided to respond publicly.

As of 1/8/2012 my publisher and I have failed to reach an agreement so I will be exercising my option to look for representation elsewhere. I've decided to approach Random House and Penguin as they have a wider world wide reach. I've noticed the bulk of my fan base is New York, Los Angeles and London.

I'd like to thank you all and hope you keep enjoying my blogs.

I will keep you all posted about my endeavours in finding a new publisher. Thank you all for your overwhelming support.

The Waiting Game

Everyone involved in prostitution needs to learn a huge lesson, PATIENCE. It is one of the few industries where there are no guarantees. You could do an 8 hour shift and not make a cent.

Everyone is constantly waiting. The receptionists wait for calls to come through, the girls wait with their hair and make up done to be sent to a booking, and the drivers wait for a girl to get in their car so they can drive her.

I come from a hospitality background where there's always something to do and suddenly I found myself sitting around bored shitless for hours. It's quite depressing sitting around with nothing to do - waiting, waiting and waiting!!! I believe we are most alone when immersed in our own thoughts, which got me to thinking is the real world really so different!!

We are all playing THE WAITING GAME in one way or another. We wait for an event, birthday, Christmas etc, we wait for our lunch break, for our favourite TV show, for the weekend or for a lovers call, it's a world of waiting!!!

Sometimes, by the time what we are waiting for happens, we are already over it.

LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS, WHILE WE ARE MAKING OTHER PLANS!!

Maybe instead of waiting, we should be acting. Time is so precious so try to utilise every day. I learnt that lesson as I sat in my car night, after night, waiting for an escort to get in, so I can drive her to a booking. I finally snapped out of it and instead of waiting aimlessly I wrote my book A SYNTHETIC ILLUSION. It took me 4 months and when I finished I left the industry. I spent 2 years as a driver and it changed my life forever, I changed as a person I became more tolerant more patient, but above all more compassionate.  Maybe it was what I needed, my break from reality to make me appreciate my hectic, messy lifestyle…

Legal Prostitution

The Oxford Dictionary meaning of prostitute is - woman offering her body for sexual intercourse for payment.

Even though Prostitution is a profession that has been around since the dawn of time, it's still looked on with disdain. In the Christian bible we see Christ saving Mary Magdalen from being stoned for being a prostitute. He asked the furious crowd to think before they act and let “he who has no SINS cast the first stone......”

Let's move forward from then to now, and people's perceptions of prostitutes haven’t changed much. Even though prostitution is legal, it is still considered immoral...

I spent 30 years in the Melbourne club scene and let me tell you girls off their head are much worse, I've been blown for a line of coke in the toilets more times than I can remember.

If the drug sluts knew you had a pocket full of gear they flocked around you like seagulls...but my favourites were the gangster moles, if they thought you were a major player or well connected they would blow you right at the bar if you let them..

I read an article the other day that said- the sexual health clinics in Melbourne are overwhelmed with the rise of sexually transmitted diseases, that have been brought on by the backpackers visiting our city. These girls ranging in age from 18-25 come here and have sex with as many people as they can. That's great, but they are having unprotected sex and spreading diseases!!

This brings me to today's BLOG- LEGAL PROSTITUTION...

Escort agencies and Brothels in Melbourne have a government body which is constantly monitoring them. They are like the health department of prostitution. By law the girls have to be tested for sexual diseases once a month. If the girls do not produce a health certificate at the beginning of every month, they aren't allowed to work. Condoms are essential. Any sexual act without a condom is illegal in the sex industry. So you see these girls are clean and safe. Yes they might sleep with more men than the average girl but they always put safety first.

I had my first sexual encounter at 16. It was 1985 in the back seat of a girl’s Datsun 200b. In those days no one used condoms, the AIDS scare hadn't reared its ugly head so safe sex was never an issue. By 1987 AIDS was all people were talking about in Melbourne, and condoms became the new essential item on our shopping list. Nightclubs and public toilets installed condom machines and the days of natural sex was well and truly over.

It's up to the girls of the sex industry to lead the way in the fight to have prostitution considered an acceptable profession. It's legal, clean and lucrative. It even has its annual SEX INDUSTRY AWARDS.... So be loud and proud of who you are, I for one couldn't live without you!!

Escorts Lonely Life

Our life is a work in progress! We grow, we learn, we love, we achieve. Everything we are, everything we do, is meaningless without people to share it with!!

We all rely on our family and friends for support, advice or love. How lonely and isolated would you feel if you were completely ALONE?

Welcome to the wonderful world of Prostitution....

So far my Blogs have given you an insight into the money side of things now; I'd like to take you behind the lipstick and the glamour!!

The sadness and hostility behind many of the escorts lives is tragic!! Although performing a very necessary service for those who need them, their job is still looked on with distaste!

How do you tell you're family you sleep with men for money, or how do you trust to tell your closest friend? All it takes is one person to start talking and you're DONE!! Hooker, prostitute or whore are all titles that will stay with you forever and could ruin the rest of you're life...

I met hundreds of girls when I was a driver and the most popular story they spun to family and friends was telemarketer. They claimed they worked in a call centre that dealt with overseas clients so because of the time difference they worked all night. You have to remember these girls are the masters of lies; their whole life is a lie A SYNTHETIC ILLUSION they create.

They lie to their clients pretending to love them or enjoy their company hoping to get an extension or a tip!! They lie to their families, friends and basically anyone not involved in the industry. At least they've got their fellow workers to open up to. WRONG!!!

Their co workers can never be their friends, for so many reasons. First and foremost how do you bring another escort into you're circle of friends or family. What if they slip up and start talking about bookings or clients or even worse refer to you by you're working name. These are big risks to take so why risk it.

The main reason though, escorts don't create friendships within the work place is simply MONEY. These girls are direct competition, every booking one gets, is one the other lost...

Sure it's all pleasantries and chit chat when they're in the office, but business is business. As a driver I saw the ugly side of the girls. When there were two of them in my car they'd be best friends, complimenting each others outfits, hair and make up. As soon as one got out of the car the other would get out the knives. Dirty whore, she has unprotected sex, she has a disease and so on and so on, you get the picture.

In the real world you're co workers are people with similar skills or education levels, that's why you're doing the same job, in prostitution it's just a bunch of money hungry people thrown together constantly competing for bookings...

What a lonely existence!! They feel isolated from the people closest to them as no one can ever know who they really are. Externally they are gorgeous independent women however internally they're a mess. They try to camouflage their depression with drugs and alcohol. Unfortunately this is a short term solution to an ongoing problem. You're probably thinking why don't they leave the industry and get a normal job? Sounds good in theory however how do you go from clearing $250 an hour to clearing $15 an hour in some unskilled minimum wage job. What other job will pay a high school drop out with no skills that sort of money?

In my book you are introduced to many girls, each with their own unique story of how they entered the sex industry and the insane amounts of money that keeps them there!!!

What tangled webs we weave!!

Dangerous Liaisons

The OXFORD dictionary meaning of Liaison : a person who acts as a link to assist communication or co operation between people:

In the Sex Industry the Liaisons are the receptionists (phone operators)

They are the first point of contact when clients want to make a booking. The Agency I worked for was open 24/7. The receptionists were divided into two 12 hour shifts. They made $20 an hour + $1 commission on every booking they secured. The commission doesn't sound like much but when you consider the Agency does 200-300 bookings a day there's serious $$$ to be made. There are 3 receptionists on every shift with 12 phone lines ringing off the hook.

Most of the receptionists are ex working girls so therefore they know exactly what the clients want to hear. They would use their years of experience to make sure every enquiry turned into a booking. The clients loved talking to these witty friendly women and they in turn would flirt to their hearts content in order to secure their $1 commission. A good receptionist could make $400 a shift. Pretty good money right?  WRONG!!!

These receptionists looked at the money the escorts where making per shift and couldn't cope with the fact that their time was OVER. Most of them were now married with kids or basically too old or fat to be sent to clients. They had ended up bitter and twisted women who had spent their life working on their backs with nothing to show for it!!! So everyone SUFFERED!!

The girls lived in constant fear of them. If you got into the receptionists bad books you're career in prostitution was over at that agency. The receptionists decide which girl is sent to what booking, if they wanted to punish you, you would spend the whole night in the office without making a cent. Another punishment was sending a girl that usually goes out at $500 per hour to a $200 per hour booking, if you try to refuse you know you won't get another booking all night. When they really can't stand you they do things like send you to a booking and tell the client he can give you a golden shower on the house, if you complain, YES you guessed it no more bookings that night.

You're probably thinking why the girls don’t complain to the owner; that’s just asking for trouble, that's when all the receptionists turn on you. One girl that complained spent the next 4 weeks with no bookings, when the owner questioned it the receptionists all agreed that, that girl was no longer popular, no regular clients where asking for her and the new clients ringing just never wanted someone of her description, so the owner fired her....

Working as an escort you'd think your biggest problem would be dealing with the clients but NO it's these DANGEROUS LIAISONS the bitter twisted receptionists that you need to watch out for!!

Birthday Presents

One of the most frequent types of booking I would drive girls to on the weekend was COUPLE BOOKINGS....

Those bookings were $1000 per hour and they included a service for both, that means the Escort would have to have sex with both the male and female in the room.

That's fine it's a threesome you think to yourself, but what I found odd was that usually this type of booking was booked as a birthday present. So usually a wife had rang the Agency to book a girl as a surprise for her husband to join them!!!

What ever happened to giving a watch, a wallet or even after shave???

It's a new world out there!! The old rules no longer apply. Is the modern day relationship all about pleasing the other person? You would think that it's a thing the younger generation have thought up but NO! Most of the birthdays were between 40-65 years old. And it's not only female escorts being booked, the Male Escorts were booked as birthday presents constantly....

So while I would sit in my car out the front of these hotels or houses waiting for the escort or should I say THE BIRTHDAY PRESENT to finish I got to thinking...

Maybe a couple introducing a third person into their relationship prevented the urge to cheat or start an affair that might end their marriage. I mean it's only sex, a couple shares so much more than that; they share their life, their dreams, their fears, failures and achievements. Maybe holding on to monogamy is outdated and provincial, sex is just sex unless there's feelings involved!!

As a younger Party boy I've ended up in a few random threesomes to tell the truth sometimes there was quite a few more than three in my bed but all of us were single.....

I don't think if I was serious with someone I could actually book an Escort to join us, I think if my partner suggested a third person to me it would suggest that our relationship wasn't serious, but above all it would hurt my feelings and make me think that I wasn't ENOUGH!!!

However one thing the sex industry has taught me is NEVER JUDGE!!!

These couples that book escorts have been together for years and very happy. Maybe it's time for us all to re think what is considered acceptable behaviour and move with the times!!!

Sex is just sex and only a small part of what a couple share. So the next time you're stuck for a birthday present remember it could be just a phone call away!!

Male Escorts

The past few weeks I've spent discussing Female Escorts, thought this week I'd give you a bit of an insight into the life of the Male Escorts in Melbourne.

Are they really necessary??

Let's face it any female no matter what age, size or background can get a one night stand anywhere and most times with anyone that catches her eye!!

So why would she pay for it?

Well the modern day woman follows the same rules as a man. She doesn't want to run the risk of a one night stand turning into a stalker. There are many times when they just can't be bothered getting ready to go out looking for it, so they pick up the phone and order a MAN. The beauty of hiring an Escort is you get more BANG FOR YOU'RE BUCK. These boys are there to please you and for the right price make you're fantasies into a reality

Then of course there's the male clients that book boys, again the same story, gay men can pick up anywhere just like women so if they are going to pay they expect a model or at the very least someone above the league of men they usually pick up.

To become a female escort you're only requirement is that you have a reasonable body and of course no STDs.....

For a male escort it's a lot more complicated. You need to be good looking, well hung, tanned, toned and well spoken. You need to be the complete package or trust me you won't even get passed the front door. The women clients know they can pick up anywhere so if they're going to spend their hard earned cash, they expect a STUD!!!

The only good thing about being a male escort these days is Viagra. At least you know that you'll get it up no matter what you're client looks like!!

Female escorts can close their eyes and fake it- but the Male escort needs to get it up and without Viagra if you're not aroused, it’s not gunna happen!!

The male escorts usually drive themselves to bookings however every now and then they'll use a driver if they've been drinking or partying. I only ever drove one male escort the whole time I was at the agency.

His name was Hunter. He was 22yo, six foot, tanned, dark hair and a gym junkie.

His whole life was about looking good and partying!! Good for him that's what you're 20s are for. He was making money, having fun and getting paid to have Sex.....

He serviced women, men and couples, he was very popular and his clients were always satisfied.

I drove him to one of his regulars, she owned a penthouse on

St Kilda Rd. her name was Jenny and she owned a P.R. Agency and was filthy rich. She booked him once a fortnight for 4hrs.  He told me she was his easiest client, she paid $500 per hour and just wanted to be told she was beautiful, and she would play hard to get. Eventually after 3 hours of compliments she would let him have sex with her...

Sounds easy, doesn't it?

Half way through the booking they ran out of champagne, they rang me and asked if I could go to the bottle shop and get some. When I returned I rang Hunter and he asked me to take it up so Jenny could pay me for it and she wanted to give me a tip.

Hunter buzzed me up. She owned the Penthouse and the elevator opened into her living room. When the double doors of the elevator opened she was waiting for me in a towel.

She was wider than the double doors......

I was in shock not at all what I expected. She gave me $200 and thanked me graciously, I handed her the champagne moved back into the elevator and the doors closed.

I was speechless!! I could only imagine the disaster that was underneath that towel- I've got to hand it to Hunter, it would take a very talented actor to spend 4 hours with that and pretend to enjoy it.

So boys if you've ever dreamt of being an escort and you think it's all Cougars or Milfs you'll be sent to- think again!!!

Fairytales

Once upon a time….

You already know the rest of the story; beautiful girl waiting for Prince Charming to rescue her; and they live happily EVER AFTER!!! Blah! Blah! Blah!

Boys are conditioned to be the saviours and Girls the damsels in distress....

These FAIRYTALES are no longer relevant in today's society. The balance has shifted. Women are earning just as much as men, so the modern day FAIRYTALES is trying to find someone on you're own level.

In the Wonderful World of Prostitution the FAIRYTALE, is the wealthy client, saving the poor working girl. Pretty Woman the movie, staring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, is the classic example of this fantasy. Again that FAIRYTALE is a thing of the past. Today's escorts can earn $1500 to $2000, per 8hr shift x 5 days a week. So you see gentlemen to keep these girls all to yourself you need to have big bucks.

In the time I was driving Escorts the biggest complaint from the girls was the SAVIOUR clients; let me take you away from all of this; or, what's a girl like you doing in a job like this?; securing my future that's what you loser. Girls have come out guns blazing!!

This new breed of girls are Independent women who don't need a SAVIOUR!!

Why would a working girl run off with a client? Firstly he'd always think of her as a hooker and secondly she would have to live off the allowance she is given. So to all the saviours out there- unless you're willing to sign over real estate or a hefty weekly pay cheque, don't bother trying to save a working girl...

The FAIRYTALES are over. Yes LOVE still exists!! However it is a love of equality and mutual respect. So keep a look out for it; you never know, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ORDINARY LIFE, the new and improved FAIRYTALE might happen!!!

Christian Clarke

How many is too many??

Every time we meet someone new it's always an exciting time. Everything's a first!!

First date - First kiss - First time you have SEX.

This phase is what I like to call the honeymoon period. For a brief moment in time it's just about the two of you. The past and future aren't an issue it's all about the present and living in the moment!!

Some of the best moments in a new relationship is the BED TALK, you know the ones I mean. After a good session lying around in bed talking about anything and everything!!

And then eventually comes the time when you open THE X-files. You start talking about x lovers.  X relationships and x marriages if any!!

And then comes the dreaded question.  HOW MANY?

I think after the age of 30 this question should become illegal!!

Really any normal person with a healthy sex drive would have accumulated quite a body count!!

I think it's unfair to judge but unfortunately people do.

If a guy has had over 50 lovers he's considered a player. Girls will say things like, don't take him seriously he's a good time not a long time!!

If a girl admits to over 50 lovers- well that's even worse, I don't need to list the names she is labelled with!!

I'm about to tell you all something that will shock you!!

In the wonderful world of prostitution an escort is required to do a minimum of 5 days a week each shift consisting of 8 to 10 hours. The young pretty girls will see a minimum of 7 clients a night. So let's do the math- 35 clients a week- 140 a month-let's say 10 months a year that's 1400 men per year on average. Now do the math for a 10 year period- that's serious numbers!!!

I bet your numbers looking pretty good now isn't it?

So the next time you open the X- files with someone don't be so quick to judge!!

Christian Clarke

Self Lubricating

In the sex industry there's always a new girl just around the corner. The agency loves that, fresh meat to send to the clients. In the agencies database there are thousands of clients always waiting for the next new girl on the block!!!

One of these clients was a man named Justin. He was what we called an Escort Whore! He was addicted to escorts, at least 4 times a week he would book girls. Justin had his favourites but as soon as a new girl arrived she would become flavour of the month.

The girls loved going to Justin and his nickname was The Gynaecologist. His big thing was going down on the girls. He never had intercourse with them; he just wanted to see them cum over and over. The girls all agreed he was very good at what he did. He called himself The Pussy Whisperer!!

One night a new girl got into my car, her working name was Naomi. She looked like a catwalk model, 5'10 long, platinum blonde hair, size 6 waist and double d breasts. She had an amazing face but you could tell she’d had a lot of work done.
Age? she was ageless. If she told me she was 20 I would've believed her, however I think she was a lot older than that.

When we arrived at Justin’s house in Middle Park I found a parking spot right out front.  Off to a good start I thought to myself.

Naomi got out of the car and entered the house. I put on a CD and made myself comfortable. I knew Justin kept the new girls at least 4 hours on their first visit. About 20 minutes into the booking Naomi flung my passenger door open, she got in half naked holding her dress and shoes and started screaming “drive off”.  As I quickly started the car and drove off I could see Justin in the rear view mirror chasing the car. Naomi was hysterical all the way back to the office. I kept asking if she was alright but I never got an answer. I never saw her again after that.

About 2 days later I was driving one of the receptionists home and she told me the story...

Naomi had a little secret she hadn't told the agency when she started, she was actually born a man!!! She'd had a sex-change. To the naked eye you'd never pick her however, to a trained professional like Justin it was a ‘no brainer’.

You see even though a Tupperware Box might look and feel like the real thing, the one thing it can't do is self lubricate.

Justin was threatening to sue, but the agency offered him 10 free hours with one of his favourites and he got over it.

Naomi/Norm was fired on the spot!!
