Phenomenal Woman Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need of my care, 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Maya Angelou if your ever feeling down just read this poem and remember who you are...kisses

I was having a conversation with a friend of mine who recently started hobbying (not a client, just a good friend) who knows I'm an SP. its funny, when we usually wrap up our convos he has a big sigh and a smile and a couple nights ago he said "yanno? hobbying to me is like the best thing since sliced bread" Not confused, I asked him "whys that?" and he went on to say how things were before for him and how hes just happier now, less focused on the little things that would drive him mad before. He didnt go out to bars frustrated because he couldnt pick up, and that made it easier to focus on work and the things that were more important. In many ways I thought to myself...yanno, becoming an SPs has taken the same effect on my life. I now dont slave away being yelled at by superiors younger than me at work, I have more quality time with my grade-school son to help him excell in his homework and not be constanly babysat durring the day by my folks, My parents are happier that I'm not asking to orrow money anymore and appear responsible (I say "appear" because they obviously dont know what i do, lol)....in general, everyone is happier sometimes it makes me sad that there has been a lot of political garbage about this industry being a threat to society and everything it stands for. so my question on today's section of Annessa's attempts at building things up positive again (lol) thread is: whats the one thing that this industry has done to improve your life, your relations with people, and just your well-being. I'm sure that if anyone were to look at a thread like this from the outside, they'd quickly see there is quite another side to all this than sex for the gents and money for the ladies

Definitely Cato! I'll start by saying I lived there for 364 dazes, visited over 50 different clubs/pubs/bars/dodgy watering holes, slept on average 4 hours a night, lived in the red light district and spent over 60Gs partying - Greatest Time of My Life :D No regrets. Your thread brings back a flood of good memories. I can honestly say: I will die a happy man; after having lived in Oz. Cya around the forum.

I only escorted for 4 months, but it changed my life in so many wonderful ways. It gave me the opportunity to experience sex with some of the most incredible lovers on earth. (CoachG, for example) Gentlemen like CoachG taught me so much about sex and how amazing it could be. Some of my regular clients were well-known professionals who I had only read about in the newspaper before becoming an escort. Escorting brought me closer to my boyfriend (who I retired to settle down with). The fact that he chose to love me during the time I was escorting means so much to me. He opened up to me about his sexual past and now there is absolutely nothing we can't talk about or do together. It gave me confidence and a completely different outlook on life. I sometimes miss escorting, but am so happy and in love with my partner that I have no regrets about retiring. Thanks for this great thread Annessa.

:bddog: Congratulations, Cato! Jackie xo

Jerican, you are so modest on your good looks.....unless before us ladies saw you, you weighed way more (which wouldn't matter even if you did ) you have nothing to worry about....i on the other hand, need to get myself to the gym!! lol I appreciate what you say about the anticipation however. For some of us SPs, thats the most exciting part of the job...for new clients, we never know who is on the the other side of the door. sometimes I listen to voicemail messages over and over just before seeing that client. its exciting! I think I said it before once but its kinda like that secret agent type feeling...we have a mission, but our target is unknown until that last second. i love the butterflies feeling :-) Being able to open the door to a stranger however under those circumstances has definitely helped my confidence in other aspects of my life. I'm self employed in my "other" trade and there is no board meeting that I dont own the minute I walk into the room, no one-on-one meeting for a new project that I dont present myself properly at from minute one, no phone conversation where I dont lay out my rules and regulations while stuttering or thinking. Being an SP has truly turned me into a proper business-woman. Confidence in social settings has never been a problem for me, but exuding confidence when you're selling your skills (industry related or not) was always a trial and error for me until now.
