Some escorts get paid a fortune because they offer a premium service, catering to the unique needs, preferences, and expectations of their often high-end clientele.
The perception of escorts is often shaped by the sensationalized portrayals in movies, television, and news stories that focus on the sexual aspect of the profession, overshadowing the broader range of services escorts provide.
The focus on the sexual element makes it easier to reinforce a one-dimensional view of escorts as mere providers of physical pleasure rather than acknowledging the nuanced roles they often play.
People might pay an escort for various reasons. For example, some clients are looking for a safe and confidential space where they can express themselves openly, free from societal pressures or the expectations they face in personal relationships.
Micki Daniels has worked as a high-class escort for over ten years, but there's one aspect of her job that often surprises people.
The 29-year-old explains that she doesn’t engage in sexual activity with as many clients as one might assume, attributing male loneliness as the primary reason.
According to Daniels, men are willing to pay $1,300 per hour to speak with someone.
She told News.com.au: “No one would believe it but I’m not sleeping with, like, 80 per cent of my clients. I have lots of bookings where men tell me they don’t want to have intercourse and just want to spend time doing other things.
“A lot of men are afraid to be who they are, even in relationships with their wives or girlfriends. I don’t think the majority of men are comfortable in their own skin due to the pressures of society these days.
“Therefore, they seek comfort in an escort who won’t judge them and will accept them for who they are, as that’s what we do.”
Daniels notes that clients often want to discuss her life or daily routine, seeking a distraction from their own issues.
“I think they really want to talk about anything else other than what they’ve got going on for them, meaning at home, at work, or both,” she said.
These intense conversations can leave Daniels feeling drained, requiring time to recover afterward.
“I feel emotionally drained after almost every booking. As an escort, I give a lot of myself emotionally, and spiritually and mentally so they can have a good experience,” she explained.
She also encounters clients with specific, niche desires.
“Some men just want to be babied and massaged, I had another guy who wanted me to serve him drinks in my underwear. They come to me to get intimacy, to get that spark and to get the things they want and deserve,” she said.
Another reason many clients don’t engage in sex is due to performance anxiety and nerves.
“Even 24-year-olds who you’d think would be roaring and ready to go can’t deal with the pressure of the situation or even just me being in front of them,” she said.
“I think men don’t realise it’s normal to not be confident in the bedroom or not be able to perform due to the pressure.”
Daniels emphasizes that the inability to perform usually stems from emotional struggles, such as dealing with a breakup, divorce, or stress at work.
“I’ve been in this industry for a decade and I’ve seen it all. I would never make anybody feel less than just because they aren’t able to have sex with me. I can still satisfy them and service them,” she said.
