Are you a full-time or part-time escort?

[Decatur Guy]

Just wondering how many guys on here entirely support themselves with escorting vs. how many do it for extra income.

 

Also, on a typical week, how many clients do you see?

[Kevin Slater]

Escorting is my sole support. Part-time and full-time don't really apply to this career as it's not a nine-to-five sort of thing.

What about porn? I don't escort nearly as much as I used to, but I did it full time for several years. Weeks vary wildly—I usually saw between 20-40 clients a month, with 45 being the max/mo and 6 being the max/day.

I'd imagine your hours are quite variable. I have hired one guy who has a "day job" and escorts mostly on Friday and Saturday nights. It just got me to wondering.

[Guest jhmp]

"Full time", however I never see more than 2 clients a day, obviously there are some quiet days when I don't see anyone, so overall I think I meet around 10 clients a week.

[SteveEscort]

I mix and match with it. I have another part time job and tailor this work around that. If I am very busy with my other job then I pull my local press adverts for a couple of weeks and see only regulars or guys who find me online. If I am quiet in my other job I crank up my online presence.

 

At the moment I am run off my feet with my other job so my blog, presence here etc have been put to one side because I don't have time for everything. Next week I am going to Barcelona on holiday with family for 4 days so from today I am cranking the escorting up a notch to get some extra spends for my trip.

 

I see about 10 guys a week too. Sometimes nothing for a few days and then 4 in one day. You just can't judge it LOL

[Guest jhmp]

Next week I am going to Barcelona on holiday ...

 

completely off topic, but... have fun in Barcelona Steve, my favourite city in Europe. Just came back from there few weeks ago and surprisingly it's much cheaper than last year, so don't work too hard

I've never ever been, I am going with a friend, my cousin and her husband for her husband's birthday. None of us have ever been so we're all very much looking forward to it. Flying EasyJet which is a bit like getting on a bus so that's the worst bit of the trip LOL

The worst part about easyJet is the tiny little room they have everyone waiting in before boarding at Heathrow. But I LOVE how they board the plane from front and back, which is much faster, and you can order eight bazillion things to eat whilst on the plane. And the classical music is nice too.

[Steven_Draker]

Many low-cost european airlines (Easy Jet, Ryan Air, Wizz Air) make you pay for everything - checked luggage, priority boarding, additional fee to select your seat, re-print boarding pass fee, airport check-in fee (online check-in is still free of charge), water and drinks onboard ... I've read recently that to save extra space there will be soon a new type of aircraft with NO lavatory ... everyone gets a pee bag when boarding ...

full time . Usually two good clients a day on average. I have worked it both ways in my life. In New Orleans I also ran a small business and was putting in 18 hours a day. It was too much to do both. I am very happy now.

[Mark Gordon]

It's my sole means of support. Since I've moved to Toronto, the hours have become much more predictable than when I lived in London. Almost all evenings & weekends - just the odd weekday daytime appointment & almost nothing after midnight. This has allowed me to become a full-time student again without missing much business.

Now wait a minute...

 

Okay so 2 guys in London have said they seen 10 clients a week which I've been told is possible, and you mention 2 per day. Not to put anyone on the spot, but I'm not sold on some of that. Because for me there is only a couple times throughout the month that I will see 2 clients a day but it's not an everyday thing. But at the same time, even if it's spread out over the week/month it's still possible to meet the goals I set.

 

But other than that, the only time I'll regularly see 2 clients or so in a day is if I'm out of town. Most days, by the time I'm done running errands, going to the gym, and catching up on assignments...there's only time to see 1.

 

Unless by clients you mean emails/phone calls? When I was out of town last week, I had as many calls and emails as clients; if not more. A lot of them poofed for no given reason but if they had showed up it would have been 3 or 4 clients in a day. Sometimes I wonder perhaps people's pockets aren't as deep as they wish they were. But in the end, I still tripled what I saw doing 9-5. But by all means, if you are seeing that amount in a day, then I need to find a new country to live. France, Australia or Ireland LOL.

It's believable. Before the economy got super-duper-bad, I saw at least one client every single day for a four-month stretch. Sometimes other escorts would call me and set up appointments and ask me how business was going. I remember one guy talked about making $1K that month and was feeling really good about it. (Speaking of constructive criticism on ads—he could have used it, plus a helping hand with his photos). I had made over $3K that week.

[rickp]

At the moment, full time. I generally see one client per day- sometimes 2. It varies pretty dramatically, but on average 1-2 per day.

But I'm referring to AFTER the economy got bad LOL. I mean, I started off in Miami. I was able to get on gay.com and in fact gay.com was all I knew. I knew of no other sites. Actually, I came across rentboy in a magazine but when they wanted $99 to start I couldn't afford that. I needed free advertising. But from the end of winter to the dog days of summer, I was plowing my way thru the harsh part of my 2nd year in college LOL. It was just that easy! But that was right around the time where it tanked. The banks knew about it (I was working in one) but it didn't quite catch on to everyone else.

 

I've gone back to Miami 3 times after that...and it's never as good as it was. It's more guys, but less clients.

 

But at the same time, I'd need at least 1 day off. Preferably 2. Like I'll see someone Sunday. But not the next day. But take someone today.

 

Yeah I know how it is to have a good week and be floating on air. But I'm still not sold on seeing a client EVERY single day consecutively. Especially once you're at home and clients know you're sticking around and naturally things tend to level out a bit. Not like traveling when 1 or 2 is not out of the norm.

 

Then again, I'm probably just a hard believer. I could be totally mistaken. But I'd like to hear from someone who isn't in DC or NYC who can say the same thing. Because with the COL index, I'd expect a client everyday too LOL. I'm glad I don't have to work that hard. I'd feel like a conveyor belt LOL.

Well I do but some weeks I might see 8 and other weeks 13. I am available for incalls and outcalls from 10am to Midnight 7 days, most of my clients are local office workers who book appointment times from 30 mins to 1 hour. I see hotel clients, overnight guys but they're not as regular.

 

I live in a metropolitan area of around 1,600,000 people. I know of myself and maybe 5-6 gay male escorts working in this area. Newcastle Upon Tyne is also a major financial and corporate hub with world class companies like Sage, Northern Rock Bank and Proctor and Gamble HQ all within 2 miles of my home. Many of my clients work in those type of institutions. It's also one of the worlds most popular party cities, with near full capacity of hotel rooms almost every night of the year with business guys weekdays and partygoers at weekends.

 

It's not hard for me to see 2 clients a day.

[Rod Hagen]

Holy Shit!

Thanks for all the responses so far.

Well that's why I was saying from where you are, I can see that happening. Not to mention it being totally legit as well. For awhile I was using another board that was based out in the UK, and several members were mentioning they also did similar and were suggesting me to make the trip.

 

One of my aspirations is to move out to those areas for a brief period and experience that.

[scottspearsxxx]

Full time except when I am doing porn films. I try to give the best customer service so guys keep coming back for more and more and more...

[Keenan]

Full time and I see roughly 1 -2 per day or between 5-10 per week.

[nate_sf]

Part-time for me. I have a day job so escorting is evenings and weekends only. Extra income and keeps life interesting.

Do you ever worry about this getting back to your employer, or is SF so liberal and easy-going that this is common and no one really cares about escorting or appearances in porn vids? I'm always amazed when you see street sex and people walking by street sex like it's no big deal.

It depends on the job and industry. A guy in SF having done porn at some point in time is not widespread but it's not unheard of either, so every now and then you'll run into someone who has that in their background. But it would still be impossible to run for public office or have a prominent position with that in the background. I'd wonder about that street sex though - I'd guess it might be staged. Bound In Public, for example, is entirely staged (sorry if that blows the fantasy!). Nudity on the street is tolerated in SF, but as soon as it progresses to stroking or sex act it's not allowed.
