Dangers for escorts
Working as an
escort has a lot of dangers. A large part of the dangers could be eliminated by
preparadness for possible inconvenient situations, being careful and having
circumspection. However, there is a group of dangers that can not be prepared
for.
Most of the
dangers are always due to the fact that the escort is not prepared properly for
the job in the trade. If an escort is doing a tour, that is to say, she is
selling her escort time in a foreign country then it is essential that she
should be aware of the laws of the given country before getting started, which
is just one of the many things to do. Knowledge of the foreign language of the
country where she is going to work is also indispensable, since a small
misunderstanding can also lead to major problems.
The really big
problem may be caused by the defenselessness of escorts. An escort cannot know
what intentions a sex client may have, or, in the other case, when the escort
is doing outcall, what kind of clients she is going to meet with. At an escort meeting
the customer's ulterior motive won’t be found out, and if the mutual sympathy
is established between the escort and the sex client, then the escort agrees to
go to the client's home, where even the worst thing can happen to her. The
client may be rude, violent, and beat, rape the escort, and unfortunately the
media is full of murders of this kind. This predominantly endangers independent
escorts, especially those who want to save money on protection. Protection is really
important with someone employed in the position who really knows what to do in
case of danger.
Robberies and
theft will also treaten the escorts who are not provided protection. For criminals
disguised as sex clients it is a great opportunity to make money when they get
into the apartment of defenseless escorts. Theft, unfortunately, is also a
common event in the escort profession, when, for example, jointly working escorts
steal from each other. Moreover, there are cases when the owner or operator of
the escort house (where escorts work at) steals the escorts with some trick.
A less common
but typical crime is when an escort falls victim to human traffickers. In that case, the escorts are blackmailed and
their earning is taken away, or worse: they are kidnapped and forced into
prostitution.
Another source
of danger to escorts is addictions or psychological problems in the trade.
Mental problems occur the most typically. As escort work involves tremendous
stress, those who are psychologically weaker will be freaked out easily. In
addition, escorts tend to choose the worst kind of alleviation: first they will
use tranquilizers and mood enhancers, and then they will slowly take to drinking,
which is known to have a relaxing, soothing effect on the consumer. The escort
girl won’t even notice and she has got addicted, which eventually leads to
quick decline mentally and physically.
In addition to
alcohol, drugs also function to solve problems for escorts. There are a lot of
cocaine-addicted escorts. They can easily buy the drug from their high
earnings, which they initially use only to relieve the problems caused by the
escort work, and after the addiction develops, cocaine will be consumed
regularly at parties. Of course, cocaine is just one of the many drugs that are
consumed by escorts and pose a great danger to every escort in the trade.
Besides, there
are many other sorts of addictions that may pose a risk in the escort trade,
for instance, plastic surgery addiction. The escort who suffers from this
addiction is also struggling with serious self-esteem disorders, so they can go
extremely far when it comes to plastic surgeries. Plastic surgery addiction
does not only endanger the escort financially, but also does harm to the health
after a while. For example, botox injection, which paralyzes nervous pulses, is
a common plastic intervention. At first there is no problem with botox
injections, however, the regular use paralyzes and distorts the face of the
escort.
Other addictions
that can develop while working as an escort: addiction to money (an escort cannot
stop working as a sex worker), addiction to brands and clothes (they spend all
their money on designer clothes, so they have to work again and again), and sex
addiction, which is the least harmful in this profession.
Dangers for both clients and escorts
The dangers of
escort business also extend to customers. For example, robbing customer is
common in the world of escorts. In some countries, laws even favor theft-prone escorts.
If we take Sweden, where, according to the laws regulating prostitution
introduced in 1999 (the famous Swedish model), escorts are free to take
employment in the sex industry, while the client is punished when getting
caught in purchasing sexual services, there it often occurs that escorts steal
naïve sex clients. There are several ways to do this. The most common trick is
when the escorts is receiving the client at her home, and while she is engaging
him, another person undisturbedly plunder the client busy in enjoying the
sexual service. But this is just an example of many. Then the plundered client
cannot go to the police station because he would betray himself and receive
further punishment in addition to the financial damage he has already had.
After drugs,
mental illnesses and collapse, burn out and crime, what the next major threat
in escort trade, which endangers both escorts and clients, is the venereal
diseases. Sexual illnesses come from profit-hunger of sex workers: there are
escorts that take the risk of getting sexually infected by using no condom
protection for extra profit. Unfortunatelly, customers tend not to think that if
the given escort girl is willing to carry out sexual services without
protection it's quite likely that she has done it with others sex clients, that
is to say, she takes the risk for anyone’s sakes that has money to pay for it.
Well, this is how sexually transmitted diseases (such as AIDS, hepatitis C,
Gonorrhea and Syphilis) that cannot be prventeted by vaccination. Furthermore,
hepatitis B, the most widespread venereal disease in the world, is also a
common sexual disease carried by escorts, but fortunately it is preventable by
vaccination.
Contrary to the
above mentioned sexual diseases, there are ones that cannot be prevented by use
of condom therefore they pose a greater risk to both escorts and sex clients,
such as different genital herpes, one of them called Condyloma acuminatum
(commonly known as HPV, warts virus), and one of the most common fungal
infections in the world is Chlamydia. Chlamydia causes rash around the vicinity
of the genital area due to bad hygienia. It can infect without bodily touching,
as it is enough just to touch the towel of an infected person or sit on a dirty
toilet seat.
