dun dun dun.....

Which technically....I do....with my mouth...They don't pay your bills.They don't need to know your business

And only talk about my civvie gig

I can sense pretty well who would be accepting and who wouldn't be.  All my BDSM scene friends know because it's like "so you are an escort?  That's cool...I like to wear diapers".  To others I just say I'm going to school and get a stipend with my GI bill which is for the most part true.

My job is to increase the penetration of a high-end commodity in the leasure and hospitality sector.

Good one bofia. I once had a date with a regular of mine, who was borrowing her girlfriends apt for the incall. The friend was an "event planner", who just happened to have a bedroom with a professional massage table and mirrored walls, plus red lights!!   Hmmm?

Gramps left me a lot of money.

A few years ago I was at a poker table sitting next to a very lovely young woman.  We had a few hours together to chat.  About an hour in I finally asked: What do you do for a living?  Her reply: "I'm a party girl."  then she changed the subject.

bra salesman, traveling secretary for a professional sports team, computer salesman, analyst, real estate agent, board member of a philanthropic foundation, ... sitcom writer

with a question to deflect their question, politicians (and cops) are masters of this tactic.  

So I use that and do not tell anyone about my providing activities because it's none of their business.

This helps de-stigmatize the profession. I'm not ashamed of what I do. I might add that I also proofread, but it doesn't have the same shock value, now does it?

...the service industry?  

Dear Savannah,
I am just wondering you have always thought about this from the time that you made a conscious decision to become a provider.  In fact I dare say you have three or four different responses to the questions which are both socially acceptable and politically correct.  The question is how is the best way to answer the question with out making people more inquisitive while mitigating the backlash that you would receive if the truth and accuracy were revealed.  Finally I can imagine your next question would be how would you answer the same question if your worlds crossed and you saw someone in your mainstream life that you know from the hobby.  What are the sensitivities to how you would respond.  In fact I can imagine that you were looking at Blue when Julia Stiles comes across a guy from the neighborhood in one of the first scenes and her son tries to reconnect with him to learn more about her.  At this point, do you cut off all of your friends who are in the mainstream for fear that they will be condescending towards you or do you make your cover story extremely credible so that you don't cause further inquisition into your livelyhood.    This is one of the biggest conundrums you would have in your life if you don't have a mainstream profession that you actually go to that is real.  The biggest question is are you ready to incur the wrath of judgement if it is revealed that you are working in your current capacity in the companionship and hospitality industry.  What are the psychological ramifications and what would be those for your children if your have any?  I am sure Savannah that you have contemplated this for an extremely long time and you have picked the perfect venue to discuss this with other women and men in this demimonde.   In fact I dare say that you really should have this conversation on the providers only board where you could get deeper and more real responses.    

When I ask someone what do you do? Is to board of a question to me. When getting to know someone you find out what they do outside of work. I will ask what are your favorite things outside of work? This question is more specific, plus if one reads the profiles that you providers put up then there is something to talk about. I would leave out the whole bf thing out personally. As a newbie on the client side I don't want to hear about someones boyfriend. Not that I would wish any ill will or harm on them. I don't know the person and really could careless, plus it might be a turn off. Now maybe once you have seen the same provider a few times as that part of the relationship develops, one could understand if share more personal things done the road. You will be ok.

Not that there's anything wrong with this!

Other's like teachers and other parents think I don't work. They think I'm a stay at home mom.
XOXO,

Is what I really want to say...  Lol Wish I could just say "ya I'm a hooker, I suck cock for money" but we know the reaction that gets!!  

I tell people that I'm an artist and graduate student and clarify by saying I'm an actress/model/writer which is the truth. As much as I love what I do and I feel no shame about it, I grew up in a Catholic community and there was little tolerance for what was outside the norm. Even now, in major cities, I find people have a hard time digesting the idea so I leave it out for now.

A stay at home MILF, that you can do just that!!

Hahaha...I'm from Grosse Pointe.  
Loved the movie.  
Don't know where they shot some of it but it wasn't in any of the 5 Grosse Pointes

Then tell them you've raised a lot of cocks!

When my friend had mentioned that I was being secretive out of shame, it made me take a step back and really evaluate my reasoning. Of course there are no brainer situations in which discretion is a must....but in situations where I knew i could safely be honest in a welcoming environment, I still choose to stay to myself.
