I suppose having a background in the industry would help once one wants to cross over into management. Knowing how to screen potential clients, make arrangements for transportation -- all of these things would come easier (no pun intended) for someone who's been a lady (or gentleman) of the night themselves.
Do I have any ambition to become an agent? No, not at all. While I love my agent -- really, she's a wonderful woman who's always taken care of me -- I just don't think I'd be able to send someone off to a booking.
Being able to compartmentalize is essential in this business. I can sleep at night because, the way I see it, what I do only affects myself. Sure, sleeping with other, often married women could lead to divorce. Perhaps one of my clients will decide that being married to a man who doesn't satisfy her sexually isn't worth it. Would sleeping with me help her reach that decision?
Maybe. Maybe not.
Sending someone else on a booking, however... I just don't think I'd be comfortable doing it. The whole idea of "pimping" is a bit... sleazy to me. Okay, maybe sleazy is too strong a word, but if something were to ever happen to one of my girls or boys, I don't think I'd be able to forgive myself.
Speaking of which, the only way to make any real money in this business is by having a roster of girls to send out. Once again, the idea of me, a man, sending out a bunch of girls to have sex and then taking a cut... it just doesn't gel with me.
Of course, the alternative is running a gay escorting agency, one that sends out young guys to sleep with older, wealthy, often married/closeted man. That's even worse, in my opinion. Man/man sex (at least when it's paid for) has a tendency of going sour. It's why Adam was never interested in it -- despite being gay himself.
So, please don't think that once I'm done with escorting, I plan to open my own agency. Unlike other people in this industry, I have a college degree and some freelance experience to fall back on. Of course, getting a six-figure book deal from this blog would be nice, too.
Hey, even whores have dreams.
