    Personally, I don’t see it that way, because I’m not getting paid for sex. I’m getting paid for company - which is a whole thing on its own - just so happens it also includes sex.

      What you listed is what escorts do, minus the sex. Hence why I combined the two professions.

      Do you have a partner? If so, how does your work influence your private life?

        That’s not really accurate. Escorts 99% of the time are mainly about sex. Escorts are fancy prostitutes; or more accurately a fancy term for prostitute. The myth of the “sexless, companion escort” is just a way to sugarcoat/sanitize sex work. It’s also a bit of a dangerous myth to propagate because impressionable people hear it and are like: I’m gonna do this cause it’s easy money and I don’t even have to sleep with anybody - which is just not true in 99% of the cases.

        I don’t have a partner.
