Wait, what? An ethical How can sex work be ethical? Well, like this: at The Bach, we were entirely consent-based. Ladies were never told to take a booking; they were always asked. Clients were required to behave safely and respectfully or we banned them. And at the time, we paid our escorts more than 10 ten times the minimum wage. I thought my agency would be a good little business, a naughty, fun way to make some money. People do sex work because they need to make a living.
Most people who do sex work do it for the same reasons you do your job: to support their kids , to pay their rent, to put food on the table. Some do it to buy expensive handbags, and yes, some do it to feed an addiction. But guess what? Those are all reasons why people go to an office job, too. The majority of our clients were ordinary people seeking a human connection. Yes, some guys wanted a quick shag. Some were elderly widowers, or living with crippling shyness or physical disabilities.
I thought of it as treating loneliness. Most of the women who came to work at The Bach were solo mums trying to make ends meet with little or no child support from their exes. And if they took on a second job, they knew their childcare costs would double. Women are sick of having bad sex for free on Tinder. Dating apps and hookup culture might have seemed free and liberated 15 years ago, but guess what, guys?
The ladies are over it. New Zealand has a major methamphetamine problem. We had clients at The Bach with big, important jobs or who ran their own businesses, and they would visit us obviously high or coming down.
Ah, the eternal question. Did no one teach them? Take it from a professional Madam: clean is sexy, and that means soap. Wash it, boys! The women in your life will thank you. Older men are often better in bed. Before the Internet and especially smartphones!
