Of all the jobs in the world, escorting is surrounded by more mystery than most. Most people don\u2019t understand the day-to-day life of a sex worker,<\/a> and many are too afraid to ask because of the stigma. But this doesn\u2019t stop them from being curious!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re secretly intrigued by the life of an escort, you\u2019re in the right place.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve gathered the top questions most people are too embarrassed to ask. Scroll down to read answers from real escorts and boost your understanding of the sex work world.<\/p>\n

1. Do you change costs for different customers?<\/h2>\n

A surprisingly common question is whether escorts vary their rates<\/a> depending on the customer. This is a difficult question, as rates really come down to the individual escort.<\/p>\n

However, there are some common themes. For example, most escorts charge per hour or sex act. These usually stay the same for all customers unless the client has extra requests<\/a> or it\u2019s a busy period (where rates go up due to less availability).<\/p>\n

Of course, escorts can charge more if they like the client less. They\u2019re in charge of their prices. This is a very rare phenomenon, though. Most escorts are very professional and keep rates the same for all clients.<\/p>\n

2. Do you pay your taxes?<\/h2>\n

Yes, all escorts pay taxes<\/a>. Well, almost.<\/p>\n

A small subset of cash-in-hand escorts manage to dodge taxes. However, the majority of escorts file and pay taxes like any other business owner.<\/p>\n

In the UK, sex workers must register as self-employed once they start earning over the initial trading allowance amount. This is a very easy process, and once completed, all escorts and sex workers must declare their income and expenses every tax year.<\/p>\n

3. How do you protect yourself against harmful punters?<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s address the elephant in the room \u2014 escorting isn\u2019t always the safest job. From verbal harassment to physical abuse, escorts face more danger<\/a> at work than the average office worker.<\/p>\n

Many wonder how escorts actually protect themselves<\/a> from these unpleasant risks, and we spoke to a few escorts to get the lowdown on safety. These are the top ways escorts keep themselves safe:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
