My current life revolves around reading non-fiction that catches my interest. I have just read Relentless Pursuit: My Fight for the Victims of Jeffrey Epstein by Bradley J. Edwards.
The book is a good read, but I find the author biased. He admits they he wants to hate Epstein and also finds him charming. What rankles me is the portrayal of his “victims” as helpless. These women were mostly underage. Ergo they were taken advantage of.
I described a previous era in my life when I worked as a protitute in my early 20’s. Shortly after my divorce in my late 20’s, I started working for an escort service in Orange County, California. At first I thought I was too old. But I found out that was not a hindrance.
The owner of the escort service was named Liz. We got along very well. I observed the way she put an ad in the Yellow Pages and I just copied her method. Yeah, I stole it, fair and square. The phone started ringing immediately. I was the only employee, but soon, other women started calling who were looking for work.
When a customer would call, I would give his phone number to the “escort.” She would usually describe herself on the phone and then negotiate money when she got to his home or hotel. I would suggest that she start with a fairly high price, usually $100 or $200. She could always bargain lower if necessary. She had to learn that skill herself.
The only problems I remember was dodging the cops. No women were ever beat up or abused. If these women had HR complaints or felt they were being mistreated, I don’t remember such incidents. Perhaps my own mindset that we were engaging in a victimless crime affected my outlook.
I met some wonderful men and women in this business. I had a blast.
But the only thing that is certain is that things change. Other events that were occurring at the same time took me to another life experience. But for me this ten year experience was an adventure.
