I was in in a contest to be a model on a non-profit/HIV fundraising calendar some 20 years ago. I didn't get on the calendar that year, (I was first runner up) but after the contest, a guy came over to me and gave me his business card, saying that he liked my look and appearance onstage, and asked me if I might be interested in filming gay porn.
Around the same time, I also attended a weekend workshop with BodyElectric and loved learning about giving men a sacred erotic experience. While filming porn is a good entry into escorting, I liked the idea of offering a combined therapeutic massage and sensual/erotic experience. I enrolled in a full-time massage school program to learn the technical skills of massage, and continued to take other male erotic workshops and training wherever I could.
I love what I do and the connection that I make with my clients. Interestingly, I competed again, and got a spot on this year's calendar, coming back full circle.
