I posted this on the National board, but thought it would be nice to get feedback from the Phoenix girls in particular, but would love to hear the scenarios from the guys as well....

Ok, Ok........

I was reading the post regarding "viewers" and noticed Akitanuki mentioned that when he began participating in the hobby, the going rate was $100.00.

I have worked as an escort three times in my life.  I worked for an agency in another state in 1984 for about 10 months.  The rate at that time was $100.00 "for one hour".  Beepers had just come in to play.  We would get a beep from our agency (because someone requested my type), call them back, they would give us the gents # and name.  I would describe myself and he would then say to come over.  The agency at that time was the best in the city I was in and had about 30 girls working.  They would only send us if the guy provided a current valid credit card number that they had the ability to check to see if it was current and valid. They then would do a Cole's Criss Cross reference to match the address with the Credit Card.  Then when we arrived, we would look at his credit card, and match the name with his Driver's License.  

There was upselling for kissing $25.00 and $50.00 for golden shower.  I didn't offer back door so don't even know what the upsell was for that.  "Around the World" was the term used to describe BBBJ just long enough to get an erection, then you would jump on and get him off as fast as you could.  Pop happened and you were gone so you could do more calls.  Average work night was 3 to 5 guys a night.  The agency kept $30.00, you kept $70.00.  If you liked a local guy, you would then give him your pager number and see him for $70.00 for basic Around the World.  That was how you built your own client base.  Rarely did anyone give you a tip just to be generous.

I worked again in 1997 for about 3 months for an agencey.  The agency would quote $150.00 to the customer.  Send us directly, they were NOT doing the good screening that was done by previous agency.  You had to pay the agency $100.00 so you were now forced to upsell.  The going thing then was to ask for very firmly for a $100.00 tip before moving forward.  And try to do this without saying anything wrong.  Had a VERY close call with LE on this one and quite the biz at that time.

Now here we are in San Diego.  I came out as an Independant in July of 2002.  Happened to meet a girl here who showed me the ropes to be an independant.  Since nearly 20 years had passed I felt I couldn't charge as much as the younger more beautiful women.....so I began advertising at $200.00 feeling that was all I could get.  I didn't know I was going to get such a great response for being mature.  I didn't know at first about TER, and was paying $100.00 for advertising at SDExotics.  Within about a week and a half I got a review and my phone went OFF the hook!  What a great place this is.  I raised my rate to $250.00 after about 6 months just to slow down the phone and e-mails.  I have considered raising to $300.00 but decided to stay where I am because I get more multi-hour appointments and still alot of approach which allows me to choose from the best guys.

For me, being Independant, having absolute choice in who I am going to meet vs. being sent by an agency never knowing what you are walking into is two different worlds.  There were so many times, the agency would send me because the Big Beautiful Blond was already on a call, so you drive, and find a place and they don't open the door because they see a petite brunette.  This NEVER happens to me now.  I no longer pay for any advertising, so my only expense is my phone a little gasoline and clothes, stockings etc, most of which I would be buying anyway.  I also have a nice place for my regulars that I pay a bit more from than I would if I wasn't "working".  But hey, still getting my goals reached and living like a decent human being.

As for my experiences I really do get to give the time agreed on and more if I can or want to which provides for nicer encounters with people who appreciate it.  I also get to recieve feedback on how I am doing.  My first few reviews showed me what I needed to improve on as well as what to keep doing..........

Certainly I chose to re-enter the business because of financial challenges, but my only regret is that I didn't do that along time ago because I really am having a great dating experience.  Much better than Yahoo personals, LOL.

Any feedback on the "History" from Ladies?  Of course I would love to hear from the guys too.

Love, Jenni

Does anyone recall AA Escorts in the 80's in Phoenix?  That was where I was origionally.  And it was really great for the most part.  Met some great people there.  That is why I posted on this board.  Went by the name of Mickie back then.........
