Misconstrued...

I'M BAACCKKKK!!! Did you all miss me?? *smiles*

Well I've decided to start writing..and it was from a comment left on my page that made me decide what my first entry will be about.

I had originally started writing about why I had come into this business..experiences..etc. but I had to take down everything..since well..I had a situation take place. :(

So to start fresh..
Is my life as an escort really the same of how it's reflected in the movie's/ media or by what people believe it to be.

Here's a juicy topic for you.


I believe there are many facets to this business...I believe this industry is not properly portrayed. I believe it to be a very one sided view. Obviously media/movies etc. are trying to do what they do best..make money, and i guess they are accomplishing their task. I find it sad, since they are feeding the minds of our future generations with false information.

I mean....

NOT every single woman in this industry is a victim of it. There is not something wrong with all of us, or the need to be saved from someone or ourselves' because we have chosen this path for ourselves. There are several women whom are reputable and take their business seriously. We are comfortable with what we do, and enjoy spending time with our clients'. What is so wrong with that?

It's seen as if we only are portrayed with spending our time with the "deviants "of the world...the "perverts" whom need sex..because that is all the business is about right?

Well I'm here to tell you IT'S NOT! .

How about the widower's whom have children that they are raising and don't want to complicate their situation... and crave that humanly touch, companionship, But are grieving still?
How about victim's of tragedies...learning to overcome their self image..and unfortunately the image driven society we live in, lets them fall under the "sexy" radar?
The socially introverted people...who don't know how to "pick up" another person.. because they never learned the socialization skills to do so.?
The lonely/depressed person, whom at least picks up the phone and calls us for companionship, other than taking their lives that night?
The handicapped person bedridden, and sometimes within months of dying and their family's are booking us.. so we can bring happiness to their loved ones lives as well?
The business professional that doesn't have time for a serious commitment but wants the companionship and intimacy that the encounter brings?

Our business is not just about sex. It's a deeper intimacy.. one that no one expresses in their movie clips... although "Pretty woman" touched on it a little. (maybe that's why the movie did so well)

Our clients come to see us for many reason's...and for whatever sunshine we bring into their lives we are their fantasy, their escape..whatever that means to them for that moment.

Yes, we see client's whom are married. I am not here to pass judgement on them.
They have their right to choose.. and their marital problems are theirs.

I also see couples.. yet no one talks about that!! We bring a togetherness to an already formed union.. maybe a rekindling? But most of you only think of us as home wrecker's right?

I am also a teacher, to the new adventurer.. ladies and men. Helping them in area's that they wouldn't normally be able to ask someone... but because of the situation..they can. But we are only dirty hoe's right?

What I have always found amusing is that the same newspaper's that do article's about this industry in a negative context, are the same one's that have 3-4 pages in their paper's with Escorts advertising in them. Talk about a contradiction... and rhetorical!!


I still find it amusing to see people's reactions to me.
Take for example on Twitter...
I always get different people talking to me or DM'ing me.
One of the famous one's i get.. "I want to shove my cock in your pu**y?"

If I was a doctor, author, lawyer..(whatever) .is that the first thing you'd say to me? But because I'm posted as a companion..it's OK to talk to me like that..right?
Why does a person believe.. that because I'm an escort, I deserve to be treated as an object of sex.. as opposed to a person?
Why is that treatment OK.. because of what I do?

I do believe it's because of what the media has done to us.. we've been socialized to believe that Escorts/Hookers/Prostitute's/Hoe's.. whatever your choice of word.. (I prefer companion or Escort) is a negative thing. Taboo if you may.

I believe that if people are in such an influential position to share information..then they should properly inform the younger generations with correct information.
I don't encourage or discourage my chosen career... I am pro choice.. because we were given the god given right to choose what works for us.

By the way.. there is pros and cons to every job.. and I'm the first one to talk candidly about it.. escorting has many downfall's to it as well..it's not all pretty... but... It's tiresome to hear us as being portrayed needy and problematic people. I'm no different then any of you.

Anyhow.. more to come soon..

Oodles of Hugs..

    More of this, please, Deme... not only a catharsis for you to publish your thoughts, but it's a push in the direction of a 'Sex Positive' culture that society as a whole desperately needs!
    Eagerly awaiting more candid (candied?) thoughts!

  2. Bravo! I have never thought of you as a ho, I know being an escort and a companion is different. I have always respected you and I actually look up to you as a strong, independent woman. I have actually gotten those DMs myself asking me if they can shove their c**k into my P***y. So I do know how you feel to a certain paoint. I'm here to say you rock, and I'm as usual honored to have you as a friend. Luv Suz xo

  3. Wow great post can't wait to read more . It still amazes me how people think they are above someone because of the work they do. You are a person you deserve the same respect that any person does just because you are an Escort doesn't mean you are sub-human. I follow a few different Escorts on twitter and you are some of the nicest down to earth people on there. I hope your run-ins with idiots that treat you like you're an object not a person are far and few between.

  4. Thanks Deme. Very nice post. I admire you and all other women who do what you do...in the face of negativity. You are one of the most vibrant, lovely women I've gotten the chance to meet. It's all screwed up in society and media....and the minds of those who judge.

    Free choice is just that...the best to you now and always. :)

  5. Your writing is always clear and to the point. You must be a joy to know personally. Clearly you care about your clients and those in your industry. I love hearing what you have to say and I know I'm not alone.

  6. Good post, Deme. I was hoping for that type of experience and insight when I suggested this topic, and of course, you delivered it and then some.

  7. Deme,

    I recently met with an escort, and at some point she casually mentioned how much she dreads people asking, "So what do you do (for a living)?" She said she responds by talking about previous jobs. Of course, we shared a laugh talking about how she could respond with the truth ...

    How do you handle that question? Do you dread it?
