A question deserving of its own entry
by Missy on Jan.30, 2009, under Entries
Someone asked me today what I think of my clients. Do I think less of them, do I think they’re pathetic? Why I call them “clients” not “johns”. Things like that. So I thought I’d write a bit about that.
My clients are people just like you and me. Some of them are shy, some of them are socially inept, some of them don’t want the hassle of a relationship, some of them are too afraid to invest themselves in a relationship, some of them don’t have the time and feel it isn’t fair to toy with another person’s heart, some just don’t even want a relationship, and some are just looking for an amazing sexual encounter and don’t want to gamble with drama from a random girl.
The one thing they all have in common is that they crave human touch, whether it’s in the form of low down dirty sex with hair pulling or gentle sex with soft touching and kissing. And I don’t see anything wrong with that, I think the desire for sexual contact is completely normal.
And when you don’t want to or feel you aren’t capable of a relationship what would you rather do? Go pick up a random drunk girl in a bar, waste money on her drinks, compliment her when you don’t even mean it and get mediocre sex where she just lays there or spend a comparable amount of money on a professional?
When I want something done right I go to a professional and get my money’s worth. I COULD change my own oil (yes, I know how) – but I don’t. I COULD (and have) cut my own hair (successfully) – but I don’t. Nor do I want to.
When it comes to escorts vs bar girls logic dictates you’re probably less likely to get an STD from a person who’s job depends on staying clean vs someone who is drunk with few inhibitions. This is not to say all drunk girls have STDs, I’m just thinking that the average girl you pick up completely smashed is less likely to care/think about condoms than someone who’s living depends on being disease free.
I personally hate the term johns. I don’t care when other workers use it, that’s their right. But I don’t see my clients as “johns”, I just see them as customers coming to a professional for a service. We have a friendly casual business relationship much like the one you have with your mechanic, or hairdresser. I don’t think my clients are any more pathetic than someone who eats out occasionally because they’re not good at cooking, or someone who gets an oil change at Jiffy Lube because it’s easier.

Missy,
I am about to become an escort client for the first time on Tuesday! I am 59 and have never done anything like this before. Thanks to discovering Alexa’s site, and from her’s many others including yours, I have really come to grips with my own reasons for why I want (need?) to do this. You have certainly hit the mark with several of the reason you identified above.
I am not socially inept, but I’d say I am inept at taking a perfectly normal encounter with a woman to the point of turning it into an intimate encounter. And as I have passed into my late 50’s (pushing 60 now) I find it increasingly difficult to make that transition.
I am starting a blog (just went live this past week) in which I will be exploring my personal experiences and fantasies as an aging man who still has a very active libido and strong interest in exploring all manner of sexual pleasures.
BTW, I follow you on Twitter as forgingahead56 and I am a very serious photographic artist (as I believe you may be as well)…I invite you to explore my photoblog at http://forgingahead.net
Thanks for your time in reading this! I will be writing up my experience on Tuesday and sending it to Alexa for consideration as a guest blog on RPD.
