Though my escort friends and I were scornful of clients who imagined our work as purely pleasurable, it could be a blast. Women with straight jobs who started moonlighting as strippers or call girls often left the white-collar world to spend more time at their sex job because it paid more, offered more control over working conditions, and entailed less harassment. I took these escorts’ word for it that their clients treated them better than customers and bosses in other contexts. So many of them said so, it couldn’t have been just a few flukes. And all of us agreed that clients treated us better—exponentially better—than most of the men we fucked for free.
