Did you ever sell sex ?

Your e mails answering 'DID YOU EVER SELL SEX ?'

Dear John: I have read your newsletter for 2 years and recently watched your YouTube channel about how you became a prostitute, and I have a few comments.

I admire the fact you seemed to keep your head together throughout your time as a sex worker.

I was 3 years a rent boy in Piccadilly and then 4 years working in my own flat in Earls Court ( Girls Court...) and while I made a lot of money it did fuck me up.

When I became HIV Positive I quit being a prostitute and came home to Liverpool and got a 'normal job' working in Tesco. It was a banal boring job, stacking shelves throughout the night, but it helped me get my head together - having a routine, knowing exactly how much I was earning each week and not having the pressure of worrying about being busted by the police / vice squad - or being beaten up by a client - or being conned - and working in the real world helped me get it together.

It was the clients who messed with my head, not the sex - but the resentful fucked up clients playing with my head and that was why I had to leave the business.

I admire what you have done since leaving the industry and follow you each week with admiration.

Mark.

HOW I BECAME A PROSTITUTE - by John Bellamy - CLICK HERE

Dear John. You recently asked if any of your readers had worked in the sex industry and many moons ago I did.

The Earls Court Clinique. A brothel in Earls Court and it was awful. I lasted about 6 weeks as the clientele, the other guys and even the people who ran the place were all so down market and so many were real low life and I always knew there must have been a better side to the business, a more upmarket side - and then I met you.

You won't remember me but I interviewed for your agency '30PLUS' way back in the late '80's and worked on your agency for a couple of years. Good money flowed and I never had a bad client, bad experience or negative attitude from anyone you ever sent me to - and I always felt clean and decent after each appointment whereas at the Earls Court Clinique, dear GOD John, did I feel dirty and horrible after each and every 'punter.' I quit the business when I met a lover who was a client you had sent me to see and I do remember when I told you I was quitting, and that it was to be the lover of a client you had sent me to, you were very pleased for me.

I always remember you with great affection and how kind you were.

What happens after a man has sex ?

He reaches for a towel, a cigarette and then a charge card before leaving and going home.

I sold my body for money a few times. It was decades ago and I had actually forgotten all about that period in my life.

I had just been thrown out by my family when they found out I was gay and I ran to London to escape another beating at the hands of my step dad - and fell in with a group of guys in Piccadilly Circus and became a ' Dilly Boy' - cruising for punters under Eros. I knew it was tacky and I knew it was dangerous but it was what it was and I never thought there would be a more decent way of doing things. I earned good money while I looked for a bar job and eventually worked in The Vauxhall Tavern and was there for some years. I quite selling sex as soon as I could and never looked back, it was only when I found your web site and Hamilton Hall that I was reminded. Well done you for managing decades of sex work and staying negative and more importantly, you kept your head together.

I think selling sex is appalling. You should have given it away for free.

( this anonymous comment shows exactly how many stupid people there are out there who really haven't a fucking clue. Gormless fool. )

----------------------------------

Men and women of all shapes and sizes sell sex and there is no such thing as a typical sex worker just as there is no such thing as a typical punter / client either as EVERY man or women is a typical client. All ages, all shapes and sizes and a LOT of my clients were HOT HOT HOT ...

Dear John - I have paid for sex . Many times. I kept a budget especially for my monthly trip to see a different sex worker as it was so much easier than having a boyfriend or searching the bars and web sites for sex that disappoints. It is easy, on time, when I want it and what I want.

And why not !

-Dear John: I have paid for sex for decades. My wife and I have an agreement and while she doesn't know it is male escorts I see, she knows I pay for sex once a month and it has kept us together. She is like a fridge sexually and it is any wonder how we ever had kids. We talked decades ago and set up this arrangement that I would discretely see other people but it was never to be a romantic thing - just sex - and it has worked very well over the years. Sure I have met some pretty tacky guys who offer an appalling service but I have also met some decent ones who offer something a little more pleasant and I admire these guys for what they do as it cannot be easy. Sex workers have kept my family together.

I saw a prostitute years ago., Stole my wallet and credit cards. Met him at Piccadilly Circus and I suppose, what was I expecting. He was as much a victim as I was.

I was beaten up by a prostitute because I refused to pay. I learned a serious lesson that day - not to fuck with a rent boy. Not as in sexually fuck, but don't mess with ... and looking back he was right and I with my arrogance of assuming he would do me for free because I considered myself cute, I overlooked this was his business, his rent, his food that night and his job. I deserved everything I got.

I worked in the sex industry and even did porn. earned a lot of money and spent the fucking lot. Drugs, expensive clothes, parties, fast car and showing off to my fiends and - er - where are the friends when the money dries up... NOWHERE TO BE FUCKING SEEN JOHN, and after nearly 10 years in the business I had nothing to show for it at all. You bought a flat, I had a council flat and never bought, so just spent my money and BIG MISTAKE. Going back into the ' real world' or a normal job was so hard and seemed so underpaid but it was the best thing I did after so many years. I escaped while the going was good and as I knew I needed out.

Tony.
