Sex workers describe their very first day on the job NSFW - r/nsfw Podcast - Reddit NSFW Stories

Every job has a first day — and that includes sex work.

It's not like what you see in the movies (though sometimes you may find some elements of Hollywood in there), and it's not all pretty, but it can be interesting and, sometimes, even a little funny.

According to prostitutes, erotic masseuses, and other sex workers on Reddit, here's what that very first day on the job is like.

"I started working because I'd gotten a few propositions through a dating website. I was studying med at the time and I was short on money. So one time, this guy made me what seemed like a lucrative offer and I agreed... A week or two later, I drove over to his apartment. I was petrified, but I needed the money so I rang the doorbell. It was a lovely apartment, and he paid upfront. He was nice enough. He asked me to do some things that I didn't want to do, so I said, 'Maybe not this time.' Kept an eye on the time (via the helpful clock radio next to the bed) and thankfully he finished on time. Had a shower, bit of a chat afterwards, and then he kissed me goodbye on the cheek."

"I drank a heap of wine before I went to the agency. This was about 2.5 years ago when the industry was booming. I did booking after booking and went home with a massive wad of cash. I didn't think about it too much. I just loved the rush of being booked and making so much money. The industry is dead over here now and I have no idea why."

"My first night, I was ridiculously nervous. I went to an upscale hotel, nervously walked through the lobby, hoping I looked like I belonged there, and not like what I was really there for. I was nervous the whole elevator ride up. I walk to his room, lightly knock on the door. He opens the door, says (for the story's sake, we will use the name Sarah) 'Hi, Sarah?' and like an idiot I reply with my real name. We laughed it off. It was quick, 10 minutes. He was polite and clean. In the area for business. I ended up seeing him a few more times over the years, always very nice. Tipped on top of the hourly rate, which was always appreciated and made me choose to see him over other clients in the future."

"I was a different type of sex worker, a pro Domme. My first pro session was terrible! He was a good client, however anything bad that could have happened did happen... Including cracking his rib during a trample session (very rare when everything is done correctly). However I never had an issue after that first session, and ended up with quite a few wonderful regulars."

"I'm a straight male escort and... for my first booking, I received an email from a girl that basically went as follows: 'Hi, I'd like to book you as a birthday present for my friend's 24th surprise party.' ... I turned up early to help these girls prepare the surprise and they're all insanely attractive. Out-of-my-league attractive. The girl who booked me then drops this bombshell on me: 'Oh, by the way, all of us are either escorts or strippers.' Uh oh, I'm in way over my head..."

"The guy paid me $60/hour for three hours. He smoked a few bowls, talked about jazz, and then very creepily went on and on about my boobs. I jerked him for like 30 minutes with this horrible rose-scented lotion, blew him, and eventually we had sex. I was impressed he could get it up with how high he was and figured he must be on something else. That's mostly what I was thinking about the whole time."

"I was 22, just graduated with a BA in a major that would make me no money... I posted on Craigslist ($400 an hour; I had no clue about rates and still don't, but from this thread it seems high) and met a man the next night at his house for an agreed-upon 30 minutes. We sat on the couch and talked a little bit. He ran a small business, divorced, overweight, 40s... I liked him, so I kept going until he finished -- maybe another 20 minutes? I didn't charge him for the extra. I didn't enjoy it as much as I would with a regular partner, but it wasn't bad."

"He was in his 40s, from another town, and offered me $900 for the night. When the night came along, he booked a hotel, and I went over there some time that evening. I was so nervous, I could barely speak a word when I got there. He was an average-looking guy. I wasn't attracted to him but it didn't cross my mind that it mattered. I was still about to have sex with someone I technically just met, and for money... After that, we just went to sleep and I left in the morning."
