Marie’s Journal

Life as a working girl or hooker is never dull. It has its good and bad days. I call it the good and the ugly side of working in the adult industry.

For some reason my mind has been set on a client that came to see me many times and the reason I remember him was because he was always depressed.

Many people have that baggage to carry around with them and he was no different. He was a very depressed man with a long of hangups that go with a dud marriage. This guy, I’ll call him Joe… was so down that whenever he visited I would turn my phone off for a period of time so that I could debrief and to get my head around his problems.

Joe came to visit me around 9pm one night and he was at his worst… We spoke, he cried, we spoke some more. All the time I was massaging him and encouraging him.

He opened up to me that night. He was in the midst of a very bad marriage, he’d been asked to move out and he was finding it very hard. All his so called friends had deserted him and after he finished seeing me he was going to jump… yep he was going to jump of the bridge.

I knew he meant every word so life as a working lady role played her way through hours of talking to him. Finally after 4 hours, which I never charged him for, he walked out with a glint of happiness in his eyes.

Now most escorts will say goodbye to their client or punter and not think about that client anymore, well I can’t do that. He had opened up to me in a way and I was concerned that perhaps he was still going to go ahead with his threats of jumping to end it all…

But after 3 days of worrying, he called me. He came to visit and this time he was a very different person.

I didn’t ask him any questions I just let him talk. He had listened to me when he came to visit for those many hours and he made appointments to see several people who I knew would be able to help him.

They had… which was a relief but what made that visit very special was the fact that he said he listened and realised that he was worth something and he decided that life was worth living afterall.

So you see, sometimes life for a working girl is not always good, we have to be a good listener and we also have to role play our way through some sessions.
