The sites below are in relation to people whose diaries, blogs and information sites I sometimes visit and read purely for my own information. Who knows, they may be of interest to you. They certainly give me a very broad eye on this world we are in!
PtrLeedsinWonderland : Ptr is one of the people I used to see as an escort. I have been lucky to count him as a friend in this world and he is as happy in his part of his fun world as I am in mine. He was a great find and is a funny person to know. His blog has some truly entertaining moments and he certainly has a “pervy” relationship with The English Courtesan (see below) which makes for entertaining reading at times. Carry on Ptr, I enjoy your blog as you know!
SaraSummers : I first came across this website when I crossed the path of this escort after I did my very first radio interview (link here to my diary entry about this). We are all entitled to our opinions but the fact that I apparently shouted out that I was an escort for all to know was not to her comfort zone and she was outspoken in her condemnation of my specific actions simply because she personally preferred to keep this as a secret side to her life. She reminded me a lot of the Call Me Elizabeth book (Google “Call Me Elizabeth”) but what I found was that she is right in her profile. She describes herself as quirky and I agree … I think she is. Woe betide anyone who crosses her path on the forums as she has a strong view and she voices it but her blog IS interesting and she certainly shows the escorting in the way she wants it to be for her alongside all the myriad twists and turns her life has. Long may she remain her outspoken person and my fingers are crossed that she can continue being herself the way she wishes to be.
The English Courtesan : Now this is an interesting way of seeing life. Livvy’s way of writing may not be the like of some and for me, at times, I feel like strangling her and saying, for gods sake can you not talk as you really would rather than in the riddles and innuendos and flowery details but you know something, if it gives me that feeling then thats what keeps it right for us. She has a unique way of expressing herself that IS unusual and unique and its finding that uniqueness that keeps it interesting. Way to go Livvy … keep Ptr on his toes!
Antonia Silvershadow : I came across Antonia’s site in December 2007 when she applied to work for the Angels4You team. There is a diary entry I made about her contact and the link will be here when I find it! Whilst I may not want to promote Antonia as a member of the team what I can and do acknowledge is her own openess and choice to be herself. Keep yourself true to you Antonia.
SAAFE : This is a truly excellent site for anyone wanting answers and not getting them anywhere else. Whoever thought up the idea has a very big THANK YOU from me! I often send potential escorts through to this site. It gives them the answers they need to make the decisions and if any of them then choose to go into escorting at least they can do it from an informed point of view and not from a glamour point of view.
SW5 : I came across this site when looking at male escorting. There is an excellent section on the straight male escorting subject and I am forever sending would be gigolos (oops male escorts!) to here for a read. Hopefully it takes the stars out of their eyes.
Jane : CheshireCompanions : My all-time opposite. Why put this on my links page? Well, its an interesting question but unfortunately I don’t yet think I have the answer. I keep an eye on her blog on this site the same as I do for any agency that may have anything to say and who knows, perhaps you may get a feel for how another agency owner runs her agency and how her life has been and goes so I did not see any reason to not provide a link to it here for you. We are all different and we are allowed to be whoever we want and if I read it for information, then so can you should you choose to do so.
Hi, I have just come across your blog and find the content really interesting – a refreshingly different slant on the sex industry in the UK. I have worked for various escort agencies. They are by enlarge all marketed on the principal that escorting is the glamorous “high end” of prostitution. To date, this has not been my experience. Most of my bookings were to hotel rooms or private addresses where the client expected a hour or more of very intimate sex. There are very few safety measures in place. Many agencies are more than happy to send you on a booking with nothing more than a mobile phone number and the client’s first name. I have added a link to your site from my own blog.
Hi,i spent the whole day trawling the internet for information on being an escort.The sites i went to showed a lot of glamourous looking women and everything looked proffessional,so i rang up the agency for information and the woman on the other end was so rude when she realised i was not a client.That made me realise how naive i was being.It was refreshing to speak to sue ,after finding an extract of her diary on a yahoo questions page.She was patient and shed some much needed light on this escorting thing i was about to subject myself to.I realised i had better options than to just avail myself for men’s sexual amusement for a few hundred quid.Suddenly ,my situation didnt seem so bad after all .Thanks sue,i also spoke to another girl who had a bad experience.I will go for plan b.Keep up the good work sue.Love you and thanks or ringing me back.xxxxxx
Hi, I have been reading your blog and have been visiting other sites on being an escort. I am male and 22 and have been advised by a good friend of mine to consider being an escort. I don’t know whether you specifically work just with women or not, but would very much appreciate any and all advice and help you could give me. Cheers.
Hi Sue.
I’ve been reading your blog and found it very interesting. (I love how blunt you can be)
I’m trying my best to start my own escort business, but with no experience I’m finding it quite hard.
Any chance of some help please?
I have the basics sorted out but I’m finding it hard to get any information at all about starting a business like this. Do you need a licence? As I’ve seen on yahoo that you do, but i cant not find anything else about a licence.
Any other help would also be greatly appreciated.
Hope to hear from you soon, thank you
hello, i am a 17 year old girl and am thinking og being an escort in maybe 2 years. i was wondering wether there are any good agencies in london? i am also very impressed with the way you choose your escorts and see women,we are not animals and anyone who choses this job should not have to put up with being treated like a dog! thank you.
Tom hi thanks for this : UK does not licence escort agencies. Have put a fuller response on email
17 and thinking of escorting? Now I have no doubt I will sound like a mum but … get something else behind you first. Escorts (and definitely ones as young as 17 – sorry) are used for their naivety and believe you and me whilst you may think you are earning fantastic money it is something that unless you are planning to be an independent escort as a full-time career then don’t enter the industry.
Hi Sue,
Your article has been insightful, i have been interested in escoting and wanted to find out if you know of any good reputable agencies in Essex or east London.
Thanks in advance

Hi there I am a 29 year old woman and have considered being an escort for years but never got into it however am now really wanting to enter this line of work but dont know where to turn? I live in Reading so something there would be good if you know anyone? Also i am a size 16, does this matter? would i get any work? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks
Hi Sue,
I am very interested in becoming an escort and wondered if you know of any reputable agencies in the Midlands area. I am 40 years old and have not worked as an escort before. I’m not sure how things work so I am worried that I may end up with a bad agency or being ripped of. I want to be as safe as possible with clients so would need an agency that vets clients well. I would be very grateful for your advice
Many thank
Linda
just had a look at the diary this is very interesting thanks for sharing
Linda hi – answer has finally gone through to your email address – humble apologies for the huge delay in answering!
Dot – email sent through to your address with a bit apology for the long delay in answering!
Hi Sue,
I am a 26 year old woman, that have worked on and off in the adult industry for about 6 years mostly as a working girl in brothels, I have done little escorting and worked as a independently webcam girl I have my own website. I must admit I am not enjoying the type of work any more and have been out of the body 2 body contact almost for a year. I loved my job and I believe you can only earn good money if you truly enjoy what you are doing. I have thought about starting my own escort agency, I want to do it with my boyfriend to he could do all the technical stuff
. I believe like you to look after people in this business and be fair and understanding. I would like to get some advise from you about how to start it up without much money. I need to find girls where is the best way to do that(Only English speaking) that I can interview in personal and not just on the phone. I have a lot more questions, but I hope you will have a look at my E-mail and get back to me Many thanks Regards Adrianna
first I want to say thank you for having a site like this, been looking all over the place, finally found you
hello sue!
great site glad ive found it! im 22 years old from the north west of england. always liked the idea of escorting and everything it brings, now more than ever though i am interested in finding out how do i get involved or setup? any advice would be helpful. i am straight by the way haha. thank you
Tom – answer on email : there is NOT a large market for male escorts. If you don’t want to lose your money (ie not earn it) then don’t fall for the hype. Email on its way to you with further information.
Hi Sue!
I was reading an article on escorting and you came recommended. Im 28, straight, male, and have been intrigued and interested in the escort business for some time but have always been unsure of the industry. Im not after making a career out of it just some extra cash in these hard times. Is there any advice or agencies in the North East that you could recommend for me? Very much appreciated and many thanks. Rich
Richard hi – answer on email – also check out the Male Escorting category on this site.
Hello Sue,
Firstly, I luv the blog and really like the way how your not sugar coating the information!
Secondly, I am in my 30s and am thinking about setting up an escort agency and reading through your blog has given me food for thought.
I have create the website template (but have not launched it yet) and will be speaking to a solicitor and accountant to sort out professional contracts and my tax (when it comes around), however, throughout my research it has been a bit hazy (not just on your website) on how an escort agency can get around banks not wanting us to open business bank accounts with them (which I find ridiculous as the government still want us to pay taxes so what is the problem?! Sorry for that rant! lol).
Is there anyway round me opening a business bank account for the escort agency? as I wouldn’t want to open just another personal bank accountant as I don’t want it mixing with my personal life and it would be as I would have to open it in my name.
Also, thank you for the great advice on how to choose potential companions for your agency!
I automatically thought choosing one with the most experience would be the best thing but obviously not from your comments.
Many thanks and look forward to hearing from you shortly.
Gabby

Hi Sue,
I’m 17 and not interested in becoming an escort. However, I am interested to know why you got into it? What prevoked you? A year ago, I was going through a phase of wanting to satisfy every guy, tease every guy and increase the number of guys I had gotten off with. I felt so revitalised and proud because of it.. until I was labelled as a slut and I hated myself intensly. I lost my self respect and felt like I should become a prositute because I’m not worth anything more. Do you in any way at all feel ashamed of what you do? Maybe by the fact that some of the clients you have could be married and/or in a relationship? I really do mean that in the politest of ways.
Hope to hear from you soon
God Bless
Olivia
