Remember the woman who dominated her husband right in front of me? She bought herself a second booking with me. This time, we were alone.
The sex was pretty standard. It was the discussion afterward that was the most interesting. Against my better judgment, I asked her about pegging her husband -- from how he first requested it to if she enjoys the act herself.
"He first requested it not too long ago, actually," she said, answering my first question. "We've done plenty of other stuff before, don't get me wrong. But pegging was something different altogether."
"Were you hesitant?" I asked.
"A bit at first. I mean, I wanted to really understand what I was doing. I didn't want to do it wrong, or hurt him. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about."
"I'm sorry?"
"I assume you've had anal," she said. "With women, that is."
I smiled. "Guilty as charged."
The client continued to tell me her story. She and her husband attended a class and even bought an instructional DVD on how to properly peg. The first time wasn't that great -- nerves and all that. The second time was better. The third time was the charm.
"What's the appeal for you?" I asked. "Role reversal? Feeling powerful?"
The client crossed her arms over her bare breasts in mock anger. "I am powerful. Hell, I earn more than he does. But yes, I do like taking a more dominant role in the bedroom from time to time."
So that's it, I thought. Role reversal. The wife gets the power, the husband gets to be submissive and not have to worry about performing.
The client must have seen my inner dialogue being played out across my face, because she asked me what I was thinking. I rehashed my theory to her, and was pleased when she said she mostly agreed.
"I've seen this before," I said. "Well, not pegging, but the whole role reversal. It's kind of what fuels my career."
"How so?"
"Any woman who pays for sex is engaging in role reversal whether she knows it or not," I said. "Men have been paying for sex for centuries, but it takes a modern woman to do it for herself."
The client agreed and approved. If anything, she said, I was a "present" for the both of them. The husband got to fulfill a fantasy of sharing his wife with another man, while the wife got to fulfill the desire of having a man watching her as she dominated her husband. Complicated, yes. Unfathomable? No, not at all.
Learning about people's sex lives is an unintended bonus of my job. One that I'll truly miss if I ever leave escorting for good.
