There are two possible motives to quit escort trade. In the first case, the reason for giving up sex business is too intense competition, that is to say, when an escort is unable to compete with other sex providers due to the lower quality of the sex service she provides compared to that of others, with other words, she won’t be able to make money, as a consequence. As described above, the escort trade has serious professional requirements to meet, and if someone cannot do it, she has no other choice than to work on the street or at brothels as a common prostitute.
The escort trade
will primarily drop out those escorts that have been broken and worn away by
the sex trade, that is, who will not be mentally able to do the sex work
properly. This usually happens after several years of professional practice
(60% of the sex workers).
Mental problems will
become apparent physically after long practice of sex work as stress and
psychological problems will cause premature aging. And how do escorts usually
protect and eliminate the problems? By drinking, taking drugs and pills, as we
have described in the chapter on the risks on escorts. These escorts have
difficulties in quitting sex work (up to their complete degradation) because
they spend away all their money during work and have no special plans for the
future. These escorts will be in the most difficult situation when leaving sex
business. New life will be difficult for them because they can not maintain the
high standard of living they were used to, and many have no qualifications
because they get into sex business at a young age, and, in addition, a
significant part of them will have some addiction when it comes finishing
career in the sex industry. Unfortunately, there will be only one option to do
for them: prostitution. They will end up working at brothels or, worse, in the
streets.
The other way
out is when an escort does not give up the sex trade due to incapacity to do
sex work, but because she has accomplished what the escort profession was a
springboard for. These escorts always work deliberately, do not spend away
(just a few) their eranings, do not spend on drugs, parties or luxury stuff,
but keep saving, and when the time comes, they get out of the escort trade
without problems. After quitting the job, these escorts will certainly have the
chance to start something again. Many escorts start a business from the money they
have made from the escort trade, there will also such escort girls who gets
married to a wealthy client, and there will also be escorts who fund their
higher education from the money they make as an escort, so after giving up the
escort trade they will be able to get a good job in the traditional labor
market. In this case, the escort profession is a certain springboard, so
getting out of the escort business is obvious after having reached the goal.
The goal
sometimes means a career. For example, one of the most famous actors, Brad Pitt
made a career after having done escort service for some time, who, according to
some reports, arrived in Hollywood without any money, so in the beginning he
had to earn some money to start his career, and he did it by working as a male
escort for rich female clients. It is important to mention the most famous
female icon of the world, Marilyn Monroe, who also worked as an escort, like
Denise Richards, Sophia Loren and Sophie Anderson, who also had worked as
escort girls in Hollywood before their acting or supermodel career strated to
soar.
Unfortunately, giving
up escort work is not that easy for some escorts. This unfortunate group of escort
service providers includes those who are victims of human trafficking and are
forced into sex business. In addition, there are escorts who are forced to do
sex work because of their poor financial or societal situation. For example,
such are gay escorts who find it very difficult to find opportunities in the
labor market, as well as shemale and ladyboy escorts, or transsexual and
transvestite escorts, who are also in a difficult situation and it is almost
impossible for them to find a proper civilian job. The escorts listed above
often find employment in the porn industry.
And finally
there are escorts who would not give up sex work for the world. A good example
to represent this group is those escorts who became a celeb, making a lot of
money thanks to their fame.
