There are more younger women in the business, but there are plenty over 50 as well. There are no restrictions on who can become a courtesan. Older, younger, larger, smaller, male, female, anywhere in between; there's a market for everyone! Your intelligence and experience (both in and out of the bedroom) will be a great benefit to you. A lot of men appreciate and specifically look for someone closer to their age for just those reasons.

As far as rates go, you can search on here and Google for other ladies in your area and use their rates to establish yours. However, this is YOUR business, and you are free to set your own rates higher or lower if you please.

However, what few people mention to newbies to the biz is that it can be VERY difficult to establish yourself and gain a regular client base. I liken it to starting any new business -- the first year is the roughest, and it can still be up and down after that. Read and research as much as you can; these boards (and others) are a great place to start.

I am interested in knowing if someone over 50 can become a courtesan.  I am interested for retirement purposes.  What are going charges, etc.

Physician by day.  Wanting to be courtesan in between and after patients.

You might want to go to the reviews and use the search function to find ladies in the over 45 category.

I have seen older ladies before, and am sure that others do too. So yes, it is possible.

yes.   I know more than one who started after 50.

Let me say upfront that there are women over 50 in the biz.  With that said the competition is fierce. I am 58 and I have a SO that is close to my age.  I am not looking for women my age. I am looking for women in their 30s.  I have the money like most guys my age to spend it on younger ladies.  Young guys most but not all dont have the $ to spend. The old dudes do.  If you live in a big city and you have a great figure, it could be a nice diversion for you.  Like Carrie and the other ladies said, do your reseach and best of luck.....

To Bootzie,
I do have a great figure. Not curvy, but I work out a lot and take great care of my health, so I look around 10 years younger than my age.   My skin looks good, and botox can help any gal!
City is St. Louis, any suggestions?  I'm not sure if that constitutes a big city.

I agree with the other posters. You absolutely can, If I wasn't an escort myself, and was in a position to enjoy the services of an escort I would choose someone over 40. I know plenty of men that would too. You just have to market yourself correctly and use your age as an advantage- more experience etc. Good luck

Thank you all for your response.  This is something new and exciting and also scary.  Feelings across the board are filling me right now.
I am an alternative health care physician and it seems like this just isn't right, but there is a part of me that just wants to feel how this would feel.
And I was never very good with savings, so I think these days, I can't practice forever and what a great idea for retirement.
The question now is one of the comments, how to start.  I have spoken to 3 men that I know and all seem to be game.  How much do I charge for the experience?  And even more important, how do I with incredible discreetness (I don't want to stop being a doctor), get the men I want?
Thank you again.

for example, on this board rather than, say, Craig's List.

You can also be as selective as you want.  Some providers I know insist on a phone conversation with the prospective client to see how they sound to them.  You have to have faith in your ability to pick the right guys.

Read up on the Newbie Board and other manuals that you can find on various hobby related sites for methods of keeping your identity hidden.

Look at rates charged by other providers in your area who you think are similar to you in services and overall experience, peg your rates to them and also to what you believe your time is worth to yourself.  Remember, for every hour you actually spend in a session, you'll spend four more in marketing and preparation for the date.   It can be a full time job.

Best wishes on your success.

It is a feature of TER that you can send internal mail messages directly to other members whether they be hobbyists or providers.  You can access this by a couple of methods.  Go to the 'Mail' tab at the top of every page, then go to 'Compose' and enter the proper username.  Or you can simply click on the little envelope that appears next to the username when reading a post.

This feature is only available to VIP members though.  To get VIP you can either pay, or I believe there is a way for a provider to get limited VIP, but I am not sure how that works.

Either way, if you are truly interested in exploring the possiblity of becoming a provider, I would suggest spending the money for a month of access as VIP to exchange PMs and read the review details.  This site is a valuable resource in many ways.
