My boyfriend is a male escort

I think it's a fascinating topic: You just would need to think of your bf's sex with his clients as his job (which it is)...and nothing more.

I would assume that professional escorts are pretty good about not developing feelings for clients...so his job is really no different than if her were modeling or a personal trainer or physical therapist.

I hope it works out for you.

My best friend dated a male escort -- they actually met in the "client" relationship. They have stayed together for a decade. Theirs is an awesome, loving, caring relationship.

Josh stopped escorting after a year and went back to school. He's a nurse now, and is my best sounding board for the elegant complexities of human behavior.

Cinderian -
Straight away, good thread. I think you are among the brave few who have (or will admit they have) dated someone in this line of work.
I would imagine that the erractic work hours might be a bit stressful for you at times? Does this make you feel neglected or less than when a work call takes precedence over time with you?
That is wonderful that you are happy with one another and are serious about the other one.
Three months is long enough to know that it is not a couple week daliance but three months seems pretty green to me for a relationship. But you sound like you have connected on a solid level and will continue to be honest with each other.
All the best.

I've never done it, but I suppose it's like being in a relationship with an actor... some of them last for a long time, some of them don't.

[The thread reminds me of a time when a friend of mine suggested that I be an escort. It would have been a total NON-fit for me, but the thought occured to me that he may have entertained hopes that under those circumstances he could have gotten somewhere with me that he wasn't getting otherwise... ]

I guess for me sex is too much a part of a very personal and intimate relationship. It would appear that there are plenty of people on this site who feel differently, but sex for hire always indicates HUGE cultural/personal/emotional differences to me.

Cinderian started this thread 11 months ago and he's only been with his partner for three - I wonder if they're still together?

my first boyfriend was a rent boy and he had trouble reconciling sex and intimacy/emotions, after years of switching one off to do the other.... our relationship floundered because of that.

I hope you both are practising safe sex.

If I Were Dating An Escort...id Tire Him Out Enough So He Couldnt Get It Up For His Clients..lol...........and Besides He Would Want Me All The Time - He Would Have No Time For Clients

While all jobs have risks, other jobs do not impose risks on the spouse/partner. If he catches herpes, HPV, lice, crabs... You can catch them too. Those things can be transmitted with or without a condom. There is no such thing as safe sex, only safer sex. Remember that. At the end of the day, you're still fucking a whore. This is generally accepted to be risky behavior whether you pay the whore or not.

EDIT: I just noticed the date on the OP, and how long it was dead before it got ressurected.

I know a girl who is putting herself through college by escorting. She's pretty mature and seems to understand what she's doing. Actually I think I admire her for her creativity. I think more students do this kind of work than people realize.
