'As An Escort Ages', What Do "YOU' Think Happens In Their Life?


As an 'adult entertainer' gets older, what do you think happens in their life?

Do you care about this issue?

Does it effect you in any way?

Curious, as to your thoughts.......

[Ecstatic]

Escorting and adult entertainment are indeed youthful enterprises. Some escorts continue successfully into their 30s and 40s, but I doubt much older and few at that. Plus, not only does age affect their marketability (with a bumper crop of youngsters always around the next bend), I should think that they would tire of the industry and want to move on.

Most girls I know who are in their mid-20s and escorting say that they plan to quit within a few years; of course, the reality is that they have to save and invest a significant portion of their money because its doubtful most will ever have employment that will pay anywhere near as well (at least in hourly terms), and so many hold on longer than they planned.

It affects me only in losing connection with a favored companion because she has quit the scene. But then there are only a very select few girls I see as escorts, and I hope to maintain friendship with them even after they've left the scene. (This is true of one woman that I know, who is semi-retired in her mid-30s and no longer "touring" actively, but we stay in touch. I'm sad that I may never enjoy her sexual company again, but I'm very glad that she's still present in my life, just an email away.)

I believe the result is directly proportional to the individuals character and therefore, impossible to predict unless one knows the individual VERY well.

I have gotten to know a few escorts (I don't know any at the moment) and was friends with a few, and I did worry about them. It's a tough job, fraught with danger and the disapproval of society.

Like richie said, it's impossible to predict generally what will happen, but if I could offer advice it would be: Use the money to accomplish your goals and prepare for retirement. I think some Tgirls escort to pay for their expensive transformation, though it's been noted on this forum that they are a small minority of the Tgirl population.

I'd suggest an escort use the money to either pay for education or to invest in a business, to have something to rely on when they are done.

I agree with them about too many factors ;depends on the person.

I do know an older stripper/pro who never got it together.She's always talking about the golden era.Now she works for $20.00 and/or weed.Diane lives in public housing and is on welfare for as long as I've known her.When she does work it's only for maybe 3 months.I really believe she'll never realize that it's over(since the last time I saw her a year ago).It's like a fighter who keeps getting in the ring after he continually loses.I thing the sadder cases end up like this.

[flombago]

I wonder what fraction of TGirls are escorts ? I tried to estimate it from the following info: 1) In eros.com 25% of escorts are TGirls (and I'll assume eros.com is representative of that industry); 2) The fraction of females who escort is 23 out of 100,000 (i.e. 0.023%); 3) According to wikipedia, the fraction of males who experience gender dysphoria (i.e. are TGirls) is between 1 in 500 and 1 in 2500.

Putting that together I estimate that between 2.9% and 14% of TGirls work as escorts in the USA. It seems like a lot ! Maybe it's wrong ?

An example to show the logic: If 1 in 1000 males are TGirls and 1 in 4 escorts are TGirls, then TGirls are 250 times more likely than GGirls to enter this line of work; then multiply 250 by 0.023% gives 5.75% in this example.

There are a lot of untested assumptions in your model, flombago, but you could be right (assuming you're limiting your analysis to the US). One thing's for sure, a lot fewer tgirls escort than most people tend to assume. However, to add a wrinkle: what percentage of strikingly beautiful tgirls escort as opposed to all tgirls? I've heard a lot of TG escorts claim that that number is much higher, simply because they can escort more successfully.

[WillowQueen]

You can never tell what will happen. Take a look at me. I worked for a number of years and I fell in love with a girl. Now I live with her and not working anymore. Of course I'll need some sort of income to support living expenses duh. But I have plans for that, and Once the jackasses overseas stop messing around with my inheritance- well, I'm pretty much set.
I never really spent much money when I worked so it was all set aside. I gathered a sizable amount of money so I could live for awhile.

[flombago]

That's good to hear Willow. I am glad for you.

If my statistical estimate is right, there's an issue here that is not negligible. At a minimum it means that a surprisingly large number of TGirls feel the need to do a socially undesirable job. Mind you, I am not judging anyone, but it's seen that way by society.

I knew one TGirl who dropped out of high school because of peer disapproval; this put her at a severe economic disadvantage and lowered her self-esteem, although she was smart and courageous. She escorted both to make ends meet and to pay for her transformation. And yes, I met her as a client. She finally got a regular job with decent pay, but was fired after the company learned about her transexual status (it came up because of living quarter arrangements). A lawyer, working pro bono, helped her fight to get re-hired.

Having thought about her case for some time, I wonder if there shouldn't be a charity set up to help TGirls reverse the burden of discrimination. Some goals of such a charity would be: 1) help pay for transformation (needs to be verified that the money is spent correctly); 2) education stipend; 3) legal fund to help fight discrimination.

Does such a charity already exist ? I'd be willing to chip in.

Hi!

Sweetie, I've never been good enough to be an escort, but my
situation is somewhat similar: I'm 50y.o., and TG'd in a medium-sized
Southern city. I just found the nerve, after all these years, to come out,
to be me. Needless to say, mid-sized Southern cities are not what
you would call a 'welcoming environment.'
Find yourself a financial planner now...that's what I'm doing. I've
'frittered' away most of my income. Actually, you can probably do it on
your own. Investigate IRA's, 401's, but put aside something for your future.
You might be surprised how fast compound interest accrues.
Me, darlin', I choose to put my finances in animal rescue...I take in strays
of all shapes and sizes (if it has four paws it's welcome here).
I have a pillow (small) I sleep with. It says "This house is blessed with
Love, Laughter, Family, Friends, and a Cat."
I wish you the same.

Maybe the escort will eventtually evolve in to a sugar baby? :lol:

Well Ms. Dazzler, funny you should say that:

There is a clerk at a store that I shop at, S....s, who is always telling me jokes when she sees me.

So, she pulls me close to her, I know this going to be good.

She says "do you know what happens to old prostitutes"?

I think for a moment, say, no.

She says, "they ship them off to the Virgin Islands to be re-furbished"

We laugh like Hell, the customers are looking at us.

That, is the genesis or birth of the question.

My answer coming soon is not as funny.

'As An Escort Ages', What Do "YOU' Think Happens In Their Life?

In my experience, it’s a tale that rarely ends well. I used to bounce/bodyguard/provide protection for GG escorts to help pay for the undergraduate portion of my education. That was during my early twenties. Now, at the age of thirty five, I can say that out of all the women I knew or worked with, only one that escorted on a long-term basis turned out well, and she had to go through a lot to reach that point.

From my perspective, escorting to reach your goals – on a long-term basis – is akin to acting. Everyone involved can point to a person they all know who was able to make it big taking that route, but for every such person there are hundreds more who walked away with nothing to show for their efforts.

Maybe others have experienced all of this from a better perspective, but, unfortunately, that's all that I have ever seen over the long-term.

I have thought about my answer to this question, for quite some time.

The answer that came to me is the Readers Digest' version of one (1) of the many chapters in my life.

I will make it a quick story:

I have thought about the many responses, I have gotten from many women, and some men around this issue. I truly struggled with a decent answer, and response, and can only offer what worked for me:

This came to me because I was reminded in posts by others in other forums, how I funded some of my surgeries.

I believe my nose job, and adams apple shaving were a combination of my GI bill in college, being creative with student loans, and savings from work.

The GI bill is one of the benefits, you get for being a veteran of the militiary. As I have perhaps metioned I am a veteran of wars both abroad and domestic.

And the war to be 'a broad'.

The savings was from work that was legitimate, and some less than legitimate.

My breast augmentation and GRS were credit cards and savings. With the price of GRS,etc, in say Thailand, being about the price of a new or used card, it is very do-able.

You would think that would be the end of the story, t'were that were true. But I had an Achilles heel, a weakness.

My kryptonite was drugs and alcohol.

While fixing up my house - my body, the tits, the ass, the face, the GRS, I forgot that the house was still haunted. There were demons everywhere, from things I had seen and done.

It seemed like the only thing that appeased the demons was drugs and alcohol, and in large quantities. And, it didn't take 'substances' to make me do the wrong things, the 'game' was born in me.

Finally we exorcised or got rid of 'most' of the demons, how? Well that's another chapter.

End result I am post op, with a moderate debt burden. Half ass decent credit rating. I am clean and sober. Casper, and his crew of less than friendly ghosts are mostly gone.

I am a college graduate, earn fairly good money, enjoy my work. Life ain't half bad.

Moral of the story:

A. Don't listen to jokes from clerks in stores, unless you want to risk re-thinking your life.

B. Make good decisions, the choice you make today good or bad, can last a lifetime.

I've heard a lot of TG escorts claim that that number is much higher, simply because they can escort more successfully.It's really hard to be accurate with these stats imho. TS who live stealth are just not going to speak up, escort or not. And I think what alot of people also don't realize is, a TS escort's life is generally far more insular than a gg's. So the true amount of GG's who will sell some form of physical pleasure in a private lapdance room, a masage parlor, parked car, etc can never be known. People are not so forthcoming about such things. TS escorts are more likely to "set up shop"; run ads, work from home, etc. GG's have a tendency to be more impromptu about such things.
