Haggling in Ireland & UK

Why do clients feel it is ok to haggle?  Yesterday I had a chap text me and ask if I would reduce my rate to 80e for 30 minutes.  I said no.  I couldn’t see the point in being less direct, as he might think it was ok.  He then said ok, 100e and I said, yes that is fine.  However for this he now wanted 45 minutes, but he would bring coffee and pastries (it was morning).  Again I said no.  A little later he said ok to 100e, but if he had not cum at the 30 minutes stage, would I let him continue?

At this point I told him that his custom was not welcome and that I did not appreciate the implication behind the question.  I told him that he should have checked my reviews and trusted me to provide a good service for the money I am asking for.  In reply he said that many women had let him down, that he had left feeling unfulfilled and he couldn’t afford to spend money on a bad experience.  This is fair enough, but we also get plenty of time wasters and men that stop us from working, just because they wanted a bit of titillation on the phone.  We both have to trust each other for this to work.

He apologised and asked if he could come to see me at the rate I had agreed to, 100e for 30 minutes and as it was quiet I said yes and gave him the benefit of the doubt.  20 minutes later he was with me and a further 25 minutes later he was lay on my bed flushed and spent. We had a cuddle and he left just short of his 30 minutes asking me if he could see me again before I left Galway.

Isn’t it a shame that he nearly didn’t get to see me, because of all the haggling?  Isn’t it a shame that he made me feel like I was going to try and mug him of his money and didn’t care if he enjoyed himself or not, when he had never even met me before?  Isn’t it a shame that he didn’t have faith in the reviews, even though I have 50+ from all different sources that all show my worth and care for what I do?

I had a look around the adverts this morning, to see who else is working in the area and was quite surprised at just how many Escorts were working at 80e for 30 minutes.  There are 42 ladies touring here at the moment and less than a handful are charging 100e, in comparison to the majority being 80e or even less.  I can understand why someone might look at my profile and think it is too much to spend when they can see someone else for less, but if this man is typical and now holds a fear of not getting what he wants to the point of almost insulting someone he has never met, well… maybe that is your answer?  He has met the ladies offering the lower rates and not been satisfied.

What am I trying to say?  Yes you do have to live within your means, but for the sake of 20e, is it worth not seeing the lady you want to see?  Is it not better to read her profile, look at her reviews and talk to her on the phone and if she sounds and seems to be what you are looking for then invest that little extra? 

I can’t help but wonder in this case, with a man who originally wanted to pay me 80e, how all of a sudden he has enough money to see me twice in one week?  Is it really a matter of can’t afford, or just doesn’t want to pay more than he would for one of the girls that didn’t do it for him?

So… this morning after a fairly quiet day yesterday I am wondering should I be reducing my rates in line with the 80e girls or stand my ground, because I know that the service I provide is excellent?  I won’t see more than 4 or 5 clients in a day, because I do find orgasms and gushing physically draining and I just couldn’t do it and that is what happens, because I completely release myself to the moment.  So the answer is no, because for me to do that I would have to give up Escorting, because I would not earn enough to do it.  I would just stop coming to Ireland if that was the case.

You Irish seem to love your Irish and English girls.  Just think about the consequences of what you are asking when you haggle.  We don’t come from a 3^rd world Country.  Things are expensive back in England and we have bills to pay and lots of costs in touring, so please, please don’t haggle.  Choose wisely, do your research and get the experience you want with the lady that you can trust not to let you down.  Show a little respect and you will get it back two fold and all for just 20e extra!

Prostate Massage

This week I experienced another first.  I had invited in a new client and we were generally getting to know each others bodies and having some fun when I noticed he was particularly enjoying having his balls played with, then this developed as my hand went a little lower I realised he was encouraging me to run around his anal area.  I don't generally do anal play (either way), it's not something I actively enjoy, but I could see how turned on he was by it and didn't really want to spoil it for him.  I decided to ask him outright if he was sensitive down there and his face lit up and he said he enjoyed it very much.

After a little debate with myself I told him I had some gloves and would he like me to get one so I could give him a little more attention, but I did also tell him that I was relatively inexperienced, so he would have to guide me.  I got a glove, put it on and added a little lube to the end and very gently started to massage the outer ring of his anal area.  I could see he was enjoying the experience very much.  He then encouraged me to go a little deeper and a little deeper until my full finger was inserted and gently rubbing away.

Not being experienced I thought about the positioning of my g-spot and what works for me and aimed for around that area.  This is centrally located around the middle of where my now brazillion is located and happily it seemed to hit the spot perfectly.  I could feel him wriggling under my touch and so I decided to up the anti and took him in my mouth, while maintaining a constant rubbing action with my finger.  The results were amazing when finally he told me he was going to come and being new to me I quickly swapped my mouth for my hand and brought him to completion.  Obviously I know that he came due to the sticky mess he made, but at the same time he came outwardly I felt a pressure and release around his prostrate and for the first time in my life felt a man cum via his prostrate.  It was such an exhiliating experience and I was so pleased with myself and his reaction, it was totally amazing.

Being curious to exactly what had happened I looked it up on the internet and this is the information that I found...

The G-Spot or Sacred Spot of a man is his prostate gland. Tantric philosophy considers the G-Spot a man's emotional sex center. Massaging the man's prostate releases tremendous amounts of emotional and physical stress. Coupled with stimulation of his penis or "lingam", massaging his prostate can be extremely pleasurable and healing to the man. Since the most direct way to massage the man's Sacred Spot is through his anus, it takes time to adjust to being penetrated in this way. It is not for every man. The benefits are many and the pleasure can be very intense. For tantric partners, lovers or those otherwise genuinely comfortable with one another, massaging the sacred spot can be a powerful experience. Not only in terms of ecstatic pleasure for the "receiver", but in the sexual empowerment it bestows on the "giver".

The walnut sized prostate gland is located directly underneath the bladder, not far from the internal root of the penis (see diagram). As can be seen, the gland is in close proximity to the rectal wall, allowing for easy access through the anus.

Why is prostate massage pleasurable? There are number of reasons:

Ejaculation reflex sensation

No matter which method is used it is not possible to touch the prostate directly. The nearest indirect access is through the rectal wall, which means that there is still a membrane in the way. This is somewhat akin to the inhibiting sensitivity a glove. Despite this restriction the lobes of the prostrate are highly sensitive to pressure. An array of sensations may be produced by pressing, rubbing or by means of stroking the gland through the rectal wall. The most profound of these feelings is similar to that sublime sensation which is normally felt during ejaculation, as the prostate begins pumping semen.
 

 Would I do it again?  Yes and very happy to.  I've never seen such a completely overwhelming and totally absorbing reaction before, which seemed close to the times that I have a deep orgasm.  The type of orgasm that touches every fibre of your body and brings the emotions to the surface.  If I can achieve that for you, then I am more than happy to do it.  So it seems that yet another one of my bounderies has been lifted and I'm so pleased that I took the step to do this for the client, as he was a lovely chap and I really enjoyed his company.  A real cup half full type.

I warn you that I am very new to this though, so please do give guidance and have patience if you like it done in a particular way.  I also need to make sure I have some gloves with me, so let me know on booking if this is a service you would be interested in.

Another string to my bow!

Massage, Essential Oils & Aromatherapy

Massage is something that I offered with much trepidation when I first started Escorting, but as time has gone by I have not only grown in confidence, but come to realise just how it can totally transform the experience, relaxing both the body and mind.

While I was touring Dublin not so long ago, I was lucky enough to be booked by a lovely gentleman who offered to give me an hour long massage.  He started by producing some oil that he had personally put together and requested a bowl of hot water to put the bottle of oil into.  Then he lay me on my tummy and proceeded to gently massage my whole body from top to bottom.  Admittedly this was a little spicier than your regular massage, as he combined it with a little tantric massage, which was very sensual.  This finally ended with a sarong being put over me and slowly, very gently past along my body, which was so sensitive at this point, I could feel every inch, as it moved across my body.

I knew then that this was something I needed to offer my clients and finally 2 months later, I have put my thoughts into action.  Here is what I propose...

Stimulating Aromatheric Bath

 

The booking will start with a relaxing bath with the scent of essential oils.  The oils will be selected dependent on your needs.  I will be offering baths and massages to combat several of the stresses that both your mind and body may be under with the rigours of a busy and full life.

 

The bathroom will be candle lit with the lights off, to give you a truely relaxing atmosphere and you will be submerged for approx 10 minutes.  During this time you can take the bath by yourself and use it to empty your mind of the days stresses and strains or I can join you in the bath, sitting behind you and giving you a shoulder and head massage.

 

 

After the bath I will help dry you off with a large egyptian cotton towel and you will come through to the bedroom where there will be another towel lay out on the bed for you to lie on.

 

You can select what kind of treatment you would like from:

 

Stimulating poor circulation

Loneliness

Mental fatigue

Low self-Esteem

Poor Memory

Exhaustion & Fatigue

Stress & Anxiety

 

The oils used will be specifically selected for you and your needs, starting from the bath onward.

 

Massage

 

You can choose from a 10 minute massage as a 'quick fix' to your immediate needs or a 40 minute massage, which will be more in depth and give you a longer lasting feeling of well being.  The first option will concentrate on your back, buttox and legs, while the longer massage will work both the back and the front.  The massage is meant to relax and stimulate.  It is not a sports massage for deep tissue manipulation, but much more gentle and sensual.

 

 

What makes this massage unique?

 

That would be me!  I will be taking a much more 'hands on' approach and the option of oral gratification is also on offer.  This includes reverse oral on myself if you enjoy giving as much as recieving.  A truely happy ending that should leave you feeling stimulated from top to toe and ready to face the world with renewed vigour.

 

When will this new service be available?

 

I will be offering this service as from November.  Once I have assessed my expenses and done a little training to make sure that I am offering the best service possible, I will add this information to the blog, so keep an eye out.  Please note the 'happy ending' is optional.  If you would just like the bath and massage and to be with a woman who is happy with her body and sensuality, that is absolutely fine.

 

Your opinions and ideas with this at it's infancy are very welcome and appreciated.  Please do leave comments, as they could be vital to the service offered at this point, before I start in November.

Over the hill in your 40s?

An anonymous person has contacted me via my blog and told me that I am over the hill and to face it that I am past it, oh and I should shave my little tuft off.

Now, most of the men I have met know that there is a little age difference between the age I advertise as and the age I am.  I have volunteered this information when the topic of age has come up and without bragging (ok I am a bit) it is usually because they think I am younger than the age I have stated on my profile.  I have changed it not because I have a problem with my age or because I thought I would get more work, but because I was concerned that family or friends might identify me, as there are not many red heads working in the area I live in.  Anything that deviates from the truth is worthwhile in my eyes.

If you would like to know my real age, just get in touch, where I can contact you in private and I will gladly tell you.  If this changes your mind on me or wanting to meet me, then so be it.  I'm not worried about that, it is immaterial in comparison to the heart ache being discovered would cause.

 

Taken 20th Sept 2012 - Not looking too haggard I hope?



Now, back on topic.  Do you think that ladies in their 40s are past it?  That they should hang their stockings up and admit defeat?  Or do they also have something to offer?  Can they be sexy, sensual and cause a stir in the trouser department?

Last week it was my birthday and I celebrated the whole week, with clients, friends and family.  I feel younger in my heart, than I did 20 years ago.  I also got 3 Field Reports written and have another one on the way from a booking I took just yesterday.  Yes I know about it, as he messaged me after to thank me and tell me he would be returning and writing one.  Of course I am delighted, as all through my life I have seeked acceptance and confirmation that I'm making people happy, because I am a people pleaser by nature and it makes me happy.

I personally don't really understand the mentality of men who feel that age is a negative.  Women in their 50s and 60s can be glamorous.  It's more about looking after yourself and having the confidence to exude sexual energy.



So... my anonymous commentor, who doesn't have the balls to bitch at me to the face.  What is it about you, that can not accept a woman who is maybe older and protecting her family?  Why do you have to write snide messages implying that I am not proud of the age I am and that I am over the hill?  I have my reasons and have stated them loud and clear on numerous occassions.  If what you say is true, why do people keep booking me and keep reviewing me?  It's not like I'm the cheapest Escort in town.

Perhaps you need to look at yourself first?

Time on my hands

Who's idea was it to take the slow ferry out to Belfast???? If you find them, shoot them for me!!! Oh hang on it was my idea, scrap that thought.  I'm not sure if it was a good idea or a bad one really.  I mean God what a waste of a day, but at the same time, it has been interesting to say the least.

So here I am, ever so slightly bored out of my mind and not able to gain access to the majority of things I enjoy using on the internet (I'm not sure what that says about me), but seriously, I can't even play bejewelled!!!! and I decide to take a wander outside and get some fresh air and while I'm out there I get chatting to this rather lovely Irish chap with two dogs and in the space of three hours I fall in lush, fall in love and fall out of love again.  Does that make me shallow? 

He had the most amazing blue eyes, he was slender and he was interesting, but most of all he loved those dogs.  How could I not fall for a man with such a heart?  He was confident and he was good company and he bought me a rather large glass of red, which I am seriously hoping is out of my system by the time I depart from this ferry.  We both chatted and drank, acting like school children who had never had a drink before.  It was almost as if we were both drunk after just a few sips, but it was mostly flirtatious and do you believe in fate? It transpires that we were both born on September 13th!  What are the odds of that?

Of course we didn't believe each other and this is the point where I was thankful I had been honest about my age, as we had to show each others passports to believe each other and low and behold it was true.  I had not just met a fellow virgo, but one born on the same day, a tad few years after myself (he is 31).

Now... After having a drink that had gone straight to his head and having 2 hungry dogs, he went to get some food and gave one plate to the dogs and ate the other for himself.  He had offered to feed me too, but I refused due to my diet.  I may well be breaking that very soon, as I had given one of my sandwiches to the dogs and I'm still hungry.  This is where I fall out of love.  Not because I am hungry, but being fed and watered he lies down in the sunshine and closes his eyes and proceeds to fall asleep.  Endearing as it was that he felt that comfortable in my company, I didn't much feel like watching him sleep and my delicate female frame did not relish falling asleep on the hard floor with my back against hard metal railings.

I decided to creep up without disturbing and pop back inside in the warmth and comfort of the soft chairs.  The question is... do I give him my number?  Or do I remember who I am and leave it as a moment in time that was pleasurable, but short lived?

I also have to ask  myself if the strong compulsion that I felt to kiss him was natural or a product of who I am?  Am I not capable of enjoying a man's company without wanting to devour him?  Or is this a unique situation of me wanting someone for myself?  Is it a matter of wanting what I can't have or is it more a matter of knowing I could have it if I wanted to take it?  Am I not taking the next step, because I don't want to be prooved right or am I scared of rejection?

So what am I going to do about it?  Well, I have written my name and phone number on a piece of paper and I may give it to him.  I doubt he would use it though, as he is only he for a short time and then he will be back to Manchester, which isn't exactly up the road from where I live.  He is also thinking of living in the Middle East, so nothing could come of it.  I wonder if that is a positive or a negative though.  I mean I can hardly claim to be relationship phobic with someone who is not in a position to offer a relationship.  Could I not just enjoy the moment?

To be continued...

My first fake orgasm!!!!

Oh dear!

It's Saturday morning and I had the phone on vibrate.  The first 2 times I heard it go off I knew it was rediculously early and ignored it, but the 3rd time I imagined it was later and a more reasonable hour and some how I found my hand reaching out for it and heard my voice saying hello.  On the other end of the phone was a Scottish chap.  He told me he was in the area and feeling horny and could he come over.

Unfortunately I was not in Cheltenham and explained I was near an hour up the road from where he was, but he was determined and said he would come over here.  I was still with my sleepy head so agreed.  He then asked for discount, seeing as he was coming over to me and again with my sleepy head on I found myself agreeing to £70.  Mind you, he was saving me £10 in fuel, which is what it would have cost me to drive to Cheltenham.

I then spent the rest of the time tidying up my room and putting clothes away.  I don't spend a lot of time at home these days, so it does tend to get treated like a dumping ground and of course an unsupervised teenager isn't going to pay  much attention to the finer details of tidying up after themselves.  A quick shower, light application of make up and rummaging out an old corset, bra and knickers and I was as ready as I was ever going to be.

He arrived here much quicker than I had anticipated, after just half an hour, so either he drove like the clappers or he wasn't as far away as I had thought.  I'm afraid it all went wrong the moment he walked through the door.  First words uttered...  "I bet I'm younger than you thought I would be?" I'm thinking, no not really, you told me you were millitary and didn't sound old on the phone, so no huge surprise.  The thing is, it was the way he said it.  Like I should be dripping wet because he was young and 'lucky me'.  Was he attractive?  He wasn't unattractive, but no, he wasn't someone I would notice in a crowded bar.

He told me he only had £69 at this point, but I wasn't going to quibble and then said he would pay at the end.  I had to ask him to pay at the start.  He then stripped and you could just see he was expecting me to adore him.  Yes he had a decent figure.  Then he had the audacity to ask me if I had any STI's!!!! Wtf! Who does he think he is? What a mood breaker too!  Despite this I got down on to him and he got his hands behind my head and started to shove me down harder.  I asked him to stop, which he did for a while and then he did it again.  For the first time in my life I had to tell someone that they would have to leave if they continued to behave that way.

He then asked me to masturbate, which I did while still playing with him.  He wanted me to cum and in the absense of a vibrator I got my clit vibrater with a finger adapter on it and he started to push it in me while I fingered my clit.  He then started to stab it into me so it hurt and again I had to ask him to stop.  He was determined to make me cum and it really wasn't working and so for the first time in nearly 3 years of Escorting I had to fake it.

Satisfied that he had made me cum I robed him and got on top.  He asked me if I normally came and I wasn't going to lie so I said yet.  I'm sure his ego wanted to hear differently, as he did think he was something special.  He then moved on to doggie and came within an instant and decided it was time to leave (thank God). 

As he got dressed I could see him hovering over the money he had given me.  You know that feeling when you can sense someone is not happy to have spent the money they had invested.  I had to coax him past it, as I really felt given half the chance he would take it back and then just to prove he was a total tosser, when he left the house he decided to jump on the parting wall between my house and the neighbours and onto the neighbours pathway to cut short his walk back to his car.  Talk about being indiscreet!  And all of this before 8am!

I'll not say which barracks he came from, but the last time I got a call from there it was a wind up call and this time may not have been a wind up, but gosh what a tosser.  I'm considering barring any services to the place and may well add it to my profile.

I'm just glad I've got an appointment at the hairdressers later today, so I can pamper myself and put the whole sorry experience behind me.  Thank God most young guys don't have the same attitude as this one.  Would I see him again?  Not on your life.  He's barred!

Waisting away!

This is just a very quick update to let you know that the Marks & Spencers diet is still working and slowly but surely I am continuing to lose the weight.

Having retained just 2lbs of the weight loss from the last diet, I started at the 2 lbs point and now (or at least from yesterday) have lost a total of 18 lbs!!!!  Fingers crossed this may have increased to 19 lbs when I weigh myself today, but as I have not done that yet, I will not presume, although I do know I had another good day.

I have changed things slightly.  After 2 weeks of 'stabalising' but not losing I decided to re-evaluate what I was doing.  Apart from the fact that I wasn't losing weight the M&S foods range are not the cheapest, so it is a fairly expensive diet to be on if it isn't going to work.  I have also to take into consideration a couple of nights out including a 3 course meal (which I enjoyed every mouthful of) and a cosy night in with the girls, nibbles and copious amounts of red wine.  With this in mind, I did very well not to put weight on, let alone retain it.

So, what am I doing?  I went into excel and started keeping a daily chart of what I am consuming.  As I generally drink decaf green tea or soda water and lime, which is negligable in calories, I don't as a rule add up the drinks, unless it is alcohol, but I do add up the meals and snacks that I each during the day and can see exactly how much I am eating.  Now, I tend to lose weight quicker if I keep it under the 1200 mark and on the first day it was just over this.  The second day I ate some sushi and dinner time, which was yummy and just 230 calories and it saw me through until about 9pm when I had my supper and this saw me through the hardest time of the night for me.  The time when I start to get cravings for cheese and biscuits or other tantalising snacks.

A couple of days ago I went to the cinema in the evening and came home wanting toast, but instead a grabbed an oat bar worth 123 calories and had a sugar kick instead, but also managed to keep those calories down.  It's kind of keeping me on the straight and narrow by knowing when I write it down I will have deserved to have lost weight or not and it is my own fault if I don't.

My next goal is to lose another half a stone and once I have done that I may look to lose one more full stone and leave it there.  On the clinical weight chart I am borderline 'overweight' 'obese', which sounds awful but when I started I was a good 3/4's across the obese section, which was a big worry.  Having said that, the chart says that I should be around 11 stone and I know that being that weight would made me look quite ill and lack lustre.  I enjoy my curves and have no intention of losing them, so my lowest limit will be 12 1/2 stone.

That might make you wonder just how big I am and I may be commiting Escort suicide by telling you, but from yesterday I weighed in at 14 stone.  For those that met me in the Autumn of last year, I was then carrying 15 stone and 4 lbs of weight and yes, I was describing myself as a BBW and yes I was a size 14/16, as I am quite tall and carry the weight well.  I stand at 5 ft 7.5" in my stockinged feet.  So the aim is to reduce to a size 12/14 at the moment and the way things are going it is very possible.

Notable changes so far?  Well... my legs are looking more shapely.

And my waist is getting smaller and more curvy.  I've got from 38" waist to 35" so far.  Here I'm wearing a 32" corset and it is nearly closed at the back in the middle, which I could have never done before.





And finally here is me in my red pvc dress that really does show off all my curves.



Wish me luck!

Confident women have pubes?

Well... after over a decade of shaving, applying creams and waxing, I have finally gone back to the way nature intended (well almost).  I have cultivated and cajouled a little mound of pubic hair, that I am not only appeciating, but actually enjoying having.  It seems quite odd to say enjoying, but the odd time that my hand brushes over it, I get a sensation that I had long forgotten about and can't help but push my fingers into it and stroke and twiddle the little fair hairs. 

Another oddity is the colour.  Nothing like the natural colour on my head, which is now a fairly dark brunette and how I would have been over joyed if it had been ginger or red, but no it is a fair bondish brown and the colour I recal my hair to be when a young girl, before I started dying it.

Ah now looking at this picture taken just 5 minutes ago (30th June 2012) it looks rather darker than how I see it in the flesh, but still lighter than the hair on my head.  Perhaps the colour will get darker, as the mound gets thicker and stronger.

Shape

As you can see there is no real shape to it.  I have tried to go for a strip, but the hair tapers off as it goes further up.  Perhaps I should try to cultivate it into a little triangle?  Does it need trimming, or does it look just about right?

I hope you can see that there is no hair at the business end lol.  I have deliberately kept it clear where it counts, as I would hate to put anyone of licking and sucking at my cliterous, which so enjoys the attention that it gets.

Any suggestion with regard to improving the look of my newly acquired mound of womanly hair, will be well received, although don't forget I am a women and reserve the right to go ahead and do my own thing lol.

Pubes equal confidence?

Well yes I think they do.  In a world where porn is the norm and often accepted as mainstream behaviour sexually, to be a sexual being and go against the norm, actually takes some balls (not literally you understand).  I have been shaving now for over a decade and haven't let a single hair grow where it used to grow in abundance and where I used to love the smooth feel, sometimes it could get stubbly and it looked kind of odd (there is that word again) on a grown woman with all the curves of a woman and yet not the hair of a woman.  Of course I as most people can not abide a hair getting in my teeth when I'm trying to devour a nice hard member and I do appreciate that this is not the experience that you want either, so it is not being grown in all it's glory and I can still wear a bikini without the hairs springing out the sides, which I think is a fairly revolting site lol, but just a little in the middle, to remind myself and who ever is fortunate enough to be parousing it that I am a woman and a sexual being is a choice I have made, that goes against modern porns and therefore societies acceptance.

Landing pad

It is rather fun having a landing pad, whatever shape it might be.  I'm told that it feels rather good too.  No more abrasive bristles to rub the nose, but a soft mound, that also acts as a buffer when in full grinding vigour and adds to the delightful feeling and sexual senses.  I have now tried and tested the missionery position with my magic wand and there were no problems with tangly pubes etc, but instead they help to slip and secure the wand in it's rightful place at my clit, while my pussy is being devoured and enjoyed by its predator and oh how pleasurable the two feelings are together, emersing my body into deep, delicious orgasm.  Absolute hedonistic pleasure.

Is it for you?

I have to say in the few weeks I have had it I've not had one complaint yet or anyone ask me to shave it off, but I have had quite a few compliments and men asking me to grow more, because they love the feminine form in all it's glory and would much rather a woman, look like a woman and not a young pre-pubescent girl.  I can't see myself growing it back fully, but I am loving what I have and it is great to have so many compliments.  I do understand that it is not for everyone though, so I am keen to know what your views are, as you are not about to enjoy my body and can look at it more objectively than someone who is looking to have a good time with my body and I do understand that this could easily be the reason for the postive vibes I have had to date. 

So... should I keep it, cultivate it, or shave it?  What do you think?

Tie & Tease + updates

Yesterday I had the pleasure of  having some tie and tease fun and I have to say if it was anything to go by I have grown a lot more confident and found the whole experience much more enjoyable than in the past.

First of all I got my four ties and as we talked I gradually tied up first his one hand then his foot and then the other foot and finally his remaining hand.  I have a metal framed bed, so this is easily secured into the position that I require.  After doing this I then got my one flogger, a butt plus, my magic wand and some lube close to hand.  I then went over to my guest and gently kissed him and as he has very senstive nipples I also kissed, licked and teased those before reaching for a blind fold and covering his eyes.

He was not expecting to be blindfold, but there was nothing he could do about it.  However, he embraced the experience and took full advantage the sensory deprivation.  I also attached a strap with a bell on to his leg and told him that each time I heard the bell I would be spanking him, which I duly did, as he forgot about it several times.  I also told him that if he moaned too loud he would get a spank and this also happened several times, especially when I used the magic wand directly onto his balls, which seemed to wake his whole body up and make he uncontrollably moan, as he told me how amazing I was.

The time was spread between soft and hard sensations, sensually caressing his body and punishing with spanks as necessary, I nibbled on his nipples and gave him sweet kisses, which eventually led to the butt plug!  I kindly lubed it up so it was nice and slipply and slowly pushed in allowing him to gyrate until it was fully inserted and then I set the magic wand onto the base.  He was loving it and telling me how wonderful I was when I took hold of his cock and simulateously massaged it and then sucked it off to completion.

He had the most powerful orgasm and was left in a state of utter extacy for several minutes afterwards.  I cleaned him up, gently untied him and snuggled up next to him, placing sweet little kisses on his forehead, as he came back down to earth.

I think I may have finally cracked it!  I really enjoyed it too.  Isn't life a joy when you finally feel like you know what you're doing.

Updates*

I'm not sure if you would remember, but last year I went on the dukan diet and lost 15 lbs.  well... it would be true to say over Christmas and not being particularly enamoured with the food on offer I found it near impossible to pick it back up afterwards and the slippery slope to eating like a piggy soon returned. 

Thankfully when I got my new apartment and my life seemed to have settled a bit, I decided it was time to take matters in hand again and I stopped eating copious amounts of fatty foods and took control back.  Yes I was still within the size 14/16 dress that I advertise as, but far more often than not it was the size 16 I was picking out and I did not want this to be my new label, as size 14 suits me and my curves far better.

I'm at around the 7 week stage now of this new healthy living, which has been very much helped my Marks & Spencers.  Did you know they had a whole host of meals and salads under 400 calories?  Which is great when I am on tour and unable to cook food and it also limits how much I can eat, which is a good thing in my case lol, being Miss Piggy and all.
To date I have lost another 15 lbs on top of the 2lbs I still had lost from the last lot (yes I know I put nearly all the weight back on, that's me the yoyo dieter!), but now it is totally under control and I'm looking to lose one more stone.  This week has been particularly difficult, as although broadly speaking I am still eating much less, I'm not doing a lot of exercise, so I need to put this right and find time to pop to the swimming pool or do some zumba or something.

Anyway, I thought you would like to know that I'm back down to a size 14 and trying hard to make sure it stays that way.

It's been lovely settling in to the apartment and increasingly moreso as some old faces are starting to return from my days in Worcester.  I have so missed having my regulars, being able to have a bit of a laugh and a chat and it's very much like seeing an old friend when they walk through the door again.  If I did used to see you in Worcester and you think I'm too far away, please do think again.  If you're coming from further up the M5 is likely no more than an extra 20/25 mins on your journey and it's around 40 mins from the heart of Worcester.   You are all still very welcome.  I moved away from Worcester to take away the heat a little, it was too close to home for me and certainly not to move away from you!

Next week I'm going off to Leeds again for a few days.  I'm really looking forward to it, as I will be visiting some friends while I'm there too and hopefully letting my hair down a little.  It could be a lot of fun.  Although, I am going out for dinner and I've ordered all 3 courses, so I had better be a good girl up until then to make sure I have room for it lol.
After that I'm back home for a couple of weeks, before going back up to Birmingham.  I've not worked in Birmingham before, well not the City Centre anyway, so I don't really know how it will be, but I'm looking forward to it, as I'm going to see a client i've not met for over a year and it's his birthday and I'm the present.  Hopefully he will be pleased with what he unwraps, although I will be in control, as he is submissive, so it looks like a bit more tie and tease is in order.  I must make sure I have my blindfold at hand lol.

We seem to have gone full circle now, so an ideal point to sign off.  Don't forget it's Father's day this Sunday.  Get a card in the post if you don't live local, or give him a call and let your Dad know you love him.  Look after yourself and maybe we will see each other soon.

Back to it with a vengence!

Who's been a busy girl?  That would be me!!!! *cheesy grin*

So... what have I been doing?  Quite a bit actually.  I've been back up North and visited my Northern boys in Halifax, had a pitt stop in Birmingham, which ironically brought me a chap I had met before, which wasn't something I was expecting, as I have never worked in Birmingham.

I've had a guest over for the weekend from London.  I have met him several times before, so was delighted to rent him my apartment for a couple of nights.  I showed him round on the Friday and we sorted out his supplies for the night, then we had a little fun before I left him to a night in front of the box watching dvds.  the next day I arrived again in the evening and we went out to dinner together after working up an appetite.  It was lovely to have the company and he enjoyed having a look around the local areas during the day.  He was rather sweet and bought me a dvd and left a full bottle of vodka behind, which reminds me, I wouldn't mind a glass of that right now :)

What else?  Ah yes... I decided it was time to reverse the ruins of my diet after Christmas and yes Easter wasn't much help either lol.  I've been dieting again now for around 5 weeks, but unlike last time which was very full on with the Dukan diet I have some how settled with a Marks & Spencers diet.  What's that I hear you cry?  Well, they have lots of ready meals and they all have the dietry information on the packets, so I only eat the ones that are 400 or less calories.  I'll eat 2 of these a day and make myself breakfast dukan style of scrambled eggs and salmon or yoghurt and fruit.  On top of that I might have a piece of fruit or a cereal bar.  What ever combination I have it is usually around 1200 and 1500 calories per day with  no restrictions on the weekends.

with this I'm averaging at around 1lb loss every two to three days and in total to date I have lost 10 lbs.  I had not put all the weight  back on from last time and kept back 2 lbs, so in that respect I ony have 3 lbs left to lose to be back to my pre-Christmas slimmer state.  Great news!

This means with the help of Marks & Spencers I'm well back on the road to a slimmer and happier me.  I'm already getting back into all my 14's again and actually wore a blouse I had bought before and couldn't get it on.  I'm pleased that I have put it right, as I never intended to put the weight back on, but as effective as the Dukan diet was, it was not sustainable, where as this is very much so, as I really enjoy the meals and they have flavour!!!!  They have other meals that are a little higher in calories (upto 600) which I think I will eat on treat days or when the diet is over, because they are a little richer and give me the flavour that I really crave.

So... who knows where I will by the Summer time?  I'm certainly not looking at going crazy, but having bought a size 12 cardigan recently that actually fitted over my arms, I would love to fit into it comfortably, so I think perhaps maybe a size 12/14 would be nice?  I doubt very much I would lose my curves, so please do not fear, they will still be here!

I finally got internet connection up and running again last week, to my relief.  It only took them 2 months to sort it out, so I shouldn't grumble.  This does mean that I can do some camming again now, although I have to warn you that I really do have to be in the right mood to do it, so until I get back into the swing of things, it might be a bit hit and miss.  I'm not really sure where the best place to do it is.  The lounge is very cosy and I have a telly, but it's not really condusive to sitting provocatively lol.  Where as the bedroom has a nice table that is higher than a coffee table and of course the bed is also in there, should I wish to get more comfortable, but nothing to entertain me between moments of interest online.  I suppose I shall have to decide which is more important, watching the telly or the camming.

Future plans.  I'm staying here for the rest of the month.  I really needed to spend some time in Cheltenham, so it's been good to spend a bit more time here, especially as I am starting to accumulate some regulars now.  It's no good if they never have the opportunity to see me, but I will be off to London again from the 5th June and working for 3 days.  Then I'll be off again on the 19th June and going back up to Leeds.  It is kind of business and pleasure, as I will be visiting some girlfriends while I'm over there in the evenings and working throughout the day.  I am really looking forward to it and have 3 advance bookings, 2 of which I have met and enjoyed seeing before and one newbie.  I love it when I get to see people again, especially when you know that you have clicked and really did click with both, so a great time ahead.

No real plans for the most of July, but I will be toddling off to Ireland on the 25th and staying over there until the 18th August, then I'm going away with family for a long weekend and that is most of August sorted.  Hopefully Cheltenham will be ready for my return come September and we can all get back to normal with the new school term.  I think I will hang up my touring stockings then, although knowing me it won't happen lol.

That's it for now.  There are more new pics on my website, entitled 'Leather' after a wonderful client in Ireland bought me a leather coat.  He will be reaping the benefit of this when I see him in the Summer and seduce him in it lol, but in the mean time I hope you enjoy how I look in it.

My New Camera!

Recently a friend very kindly offered me their old camera.  I say old, but when it arrived in the post, most of the bits were untouched and still in their wrappers.  I don't fully understand how to use it yet, but it has some great features on it and the one that I got using straight away was the 10 second timer with the option for x 3.  This means I can take 3 pictures, one after the other, without having to keep running back and forth between poses.  It still takes some getting used to, as I have to think about moving, otherwise you get 3 identical goofy pictures lol, but after a while you kind of get into the idea of a slight tilt of the body, arm change or smile and you can get a whole new picture and don't look rushed or in pain, as I often did when having to try and get into a position and strike a smile in ten seconds flat.

Generally the success rate of taking a decent picture has really increased and I am very happy with the quality of the pictures it is taking.  I know that I still have a lot to learn about the camera and what it can do, but oh what fun in the learning!

I've put all the pictures that I have taken in April on my website so you can see them.  Most of them are labelled under April 2012.  Feel free to take a gander and let me know what you think.  Hopefully I will be updating my pictures a lot more frequently now, so at least you will know that what you see, is what you get.

Cheltenham!

I've moved!!!!

Finally things have all happened and I have somewhere to work from.  I can not tell you how hard it has been in the last few months and how delighted I am to finally have a place I can make into a second home and work from.

I absolutely adore Cheltenham and the beautiful weather we are having is making it all the more desirable.  I'm in a lovely area, which is literally moments away from the town centre and The brewery, so plenty of places to dine, should anyone fancy a wine, dine and 69 booking.  My apartment is perfect and not too dissimilar to my old place (which if you had been there you would know was very nice).  It is a bit smaller, but if anything that just makes it more cosy, oh and the shower is loads better than the last one, so no having to muck about trying to get it start lol.

My first fortnight working here is nearly up and I have to say I have had a great time.  I've really enjoyed decorating the rooms and making them my own and have been a bit naughty, as I invested £250 in a set of drawers, but they were soooo nice and I had to have some.  I also had a lot of fun going round the charity shops and found a few bits and pieces for the living room.  I've even bought a little leather box for the bathroom and have put in it a face towel, razor, toothbrush etc a long with some new gorgeous egyptian cotton towels.  Literally every thing I can think of to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

I've also met some lovely new chaps and I wanted to thank them by offering them £20 off their next booking if one hour or longer.  So, you know who you are, if we have met in the last couple of weeks, come and get your discount.  If we haven't met yet, then come and pay the full price the first time and get your discount the second time.  It doesn't matter if you have a half hour booking, or any other type of booking, as long as I have seen you once.  With that and the fact that I do offer CIM from the second booking on, what are you waiting for? lol.

There is also an offer for AW users, but please go on my profile to check that out.

I'm off from Thursday afternoon for a while, as I'm spending some time with friends, but I will be back later in the week, before disappearing for a second long weekend to celebrate the Easter bank holiday Monday.  Hopefully things will return to normal again after that and I'll be about in Cheltenham from Monday morning, until Thursday afternoon. 

For my Worcester friends, of course you are welcome to come and see me still, I'm not far off J10 of the M5, so only 3 junctions further South and I'll be happy to do outcall visits in Worcester when I return home, which will usually be Thursday to Saturday evening.

Take care all and continue enjoying this lovely sunshine while you can.  We have no idea how long it will last! lol.

Where do I stand on being an Escort?

Hi again!  Well, I wrote this a few weeks ago on a forum that I go on Escort-Ireland and it's had a response that I had never imagined, so I thought perhaps I should share it with the rest of you and see what you think?  Here goes...

One of the things that I love about this forum is that people bring up lots of controversial topics and are as a rule readily willing to voice their opinion. It does sometimes feel that there is no middle ground though. You either go one way or the other and anyone who sits in the middle, just can't be telling the truth. However, that often seems to be where I sit.

This has caused me to take a look at myself. Am I trying to kid myself? Am I unintentionally just saying what the guys want to hear? Am I doing things wrong? The thing is, I don't know about anyone else, but I didn't get here by following someone elses example. I didn't have someone to show me the ropes and I've never worked in a parlour or been given a job description criteria, so I have literally taken my previoius business knowledge and sexual experiences and combined the two to present myself as Kate.

Having worked for myself before, I have found that what ever you are selling people want a good product, someone who knows their product and a fair price. If you are selling a product that is exclusive and well made, then people are generally happy to pay more and willing to wait for the product if it is being made bespoke for them. I believe that the same goes for Escorting. I try and give an exclusive experience and one that will not just satisfy, but be something to remember. I make an effort to accomodate in pleasant surroundings, set the mood, have drinks at hand and good bathroom facilities (including clean dry towels). I then present myself in a way that I hope will be desirable, seductive and enchanting. This list goes on.

Moving from the business side of things there is also the point of job satisfaction. I get an incredible amount of job satisfaction from Escorting. When you meet someone who is nervous, excited or disjointed in their own life and by the time they leave you they have a huge smile on their face and look totally at ease and happy, then you just can't not feel good about yourself. When you get told that because of you they gone out and met a lady and they are now happy for the first time in years, because you gave them the confidence to date again, you can't help but feel proud. When you're told that they haven't had sex in 7 years and finally they feel like a man again, or you're being hugged and kissed by someone who was desperate just to be close to someone and feel special... how can you not know what you are doing is right?

I am an emotional person and yes sometimes my moods swing and I can go from elated to frustrated, then angry to overwhelmed, but I think this is who I am, this is what maybe sets me apart. I really do give a part of myself to everyone I meet and I do geniunely enjoy myself. I do respond to touch, to kisses, to the chemistry that passes between me and some of the clients. I do feel desire and I do get wet and I do orgasm.

I can't say that it is the same with everyone I meet. To say that would be lying. Sometimes I am instantly attracted, sometimes I am taken over by the skill of the person I am with and some times I find myself liking someone and wanting to make them happy, sometimes it is all 3. Which ever it is, the response is not fake, but led by a willingness to please and be pleased. A desire for enjoyment and fulfillment for both of us.

There will always be times when you don't click with someone, or for one reason or another it is just not happening. Often you can tell by the phone call if there is a big character difference. If the person is abrupt, talks to you like you are a list of services and not a person, appears to have no idea who you are or asks you personal questions. When I come across people like this, I will usually tell them that I don't think I am right for them and they will need to look else where. I also have an age limit that I adhere to. I won't see anyone under the age of 21. I love young men, but younger than that and it feels wrong and I do have to keep within my comfort zone. I also won't see men over the age of 60. Yes there are some attractive older men and I have met some in the past, but I have also encountered men that reminded me of my Grandad and it felt wrong. Again it is my choice and I am happy with the decision that I have made.

It is important that I keep within my comfort zone and I also don't believe in over doing it workwise. The most men I have ever seen in one day while on tour is 5 and if I am honest, I was sooooo tired by the end of the day, I didn't work at all the next day. Since then 4 has been my maximum and that seems to be fine. However, if I'm not in the right frame of mind, or I'm tired, or I see someone for a longer booking, then I won't push myself. I want to give 100% every time and keep the smile on my face too, so for me it is important to work to a pace that suits.

The highlights have got to be the way that many clients treat me. I have been taken out for meals many times and had some wonderful times. I've been treated like a true lady, pampered, massaged, bought my favourite perfume (coco chanel) and introduced to coco mademoiselle, which I now have the perfume and the shower gel. I've been given flowers, chocolates, soda bread, cakes etc and quite frankly treated better than my ex husband ever treated me. It's wonderful to be appreciated, it's the most amazing feeling when someone (who doesn't need to) gives you something to just make you happy.

I'm not denying that there are down sides. There are times when you want to cry (or do in my case) when you get a zillion timewasters, or people trying to make trouble for you, or worse still other girls trying to put you down and break your spirit, but... being able to pay my bills, look after my son and save to make life easier in the future; being able to re-train in new skills and have a decent sex life without all the problems of a relationship and all the friends you make on the way, far ways out the bad side.

Of course it could be made better. I'd love to be able to be honest to my family and friends, but of course I can't. I'd love not to have to worry when touring that I may get kicked out of premises or have someone threaten me. I wish the government would stop trying to make out that all girls are trafficked and doing this against there will. Yes sort trafficking out, no one should go through that, but leave the geniune independent ladies alone and let them work in pairs, it's safer!

Something that might be difficult to understand, but is true. I've been single now for well over a decade. Before I started Escorting I was adamanent that I would not be in another relationship. I did not think that I was compatible with men mentally and where I still liked men, I just didn't think there was anyone out there for me. Thanks to Escorting I have learnt that I was putting way too much emphasis on looks before. What I had not considered is that where someone can start out being attractive and lose their attraction as you discover their true character, the same can be said in reverse. A good person has an inner beauty that sometimes is not apparent on first look, but when you get to know them, they really do shine. I've also found that people who I enjoy the company of and am sexually compatible with are good for me. I want to be with them and look forward to seeing them.

So... maybe, when I retire I will give myself a chance to settle down after all. I'm not ready yet, but I'm getting there and that is thanks to you!

ps I know there are a couple of spelling errors in here and when I seek them out I will correct them, but until then, please ignore them and accept that I was engrossed in what I was saying, which led to the mistakes.  I am only human after all x

When time stood still

Well, I got back from Dublin a whole week ago now and life has been very sedate since.  I've been fulfilling my role as a Mother and sorting out a few things that needed doing, but really there is a forboding sense of being in 'limbo' about me at the moment, since I no longer have a place to take in calls from.

Sadly plans to be up and running in Cheltenham in March have fallen through. I'm not entirely sure why, but I hope it is a glitch and not something that will follow me to my next choice of location.  I will be resuming my search this week and fingers crossed will be able to put the matter straight, as I'm finding it awfully frustrating at the moment when the phone rings and I have to apologies for not being available for in calls.

For the moment I am trying to make myself available for outcalls, but I hope you can appreciate being a Mum, I can't just disappear at a moments notice.  Things need arranging and excuses need making and I also need to shower, put my make-up on and dress appropriately, which of course is not my every day look for around the home and all takes time.

If you would like to book for for an outcall I would love to come to you, but please, please, give me as much notice as you possibly can.  I hope that you would not be disappointed, after all this lack of opportunity is doing nothing for my sex life lol and I'm missing it probably far more than my regs who are presently unable to see me.

Due to the fact that I am not presently able to offer in calls unless on tour, I will not be charging any fuel costs within Worcestershire, Gloucestershire or birmingham.  However  the length of the booking will be affected.  I will take half hour bookings only within Worcester itself.  One hour bookings within a 20 mile radius and 2 hour plus every where else.

I'm also happy to continue offering, wine, dine & 69 bookings with one hour private time, plus social time at £250 and 2 hours private time, plus social at £350.  This is a set rate for any of the above locations, with your accomodation, be it a hotel or your residents.

I will only take overnight bookings from gentleman I have met before.

I will of course let you know if and when the situation changes, but I think next time I will wait until I have signed on the dotted line.

Take care all and I hope to see you soon.

New starts

2011 ended with a bit of unheavel for me.  After getting my first apartment in April, I was very wary of the neighbours and never wanted to push it, so in the main I worked Monday to Friday during office hours and rarely took on more than 3 clients in a day.  I continuted touring as well, which meant that I was often not using the apartment at all, but still soon after renewing the contract for a 2nd time for a further 6 months the trouble began.

The apartments had a committee and they had sent a letter direct to the letting agency complaining that my curtains were always drawn and that they were suspicious of the amount of visitors I was having.  I directly sent a letter of explanation.  My landlord already knew that I was working from the apartment, as I had told them and they were fine about it.  I also explained that my Mum had been having problems and that I had been staying with her, hence the curtains shut.  Thankfully the agency and my landlord were happy with this, but not the committee, who then continued to send me threatening letters.

The message threatened me with the Act of 1956, section 33.  For those of you that don't know it, it is concerned with brothels and there to protect people from being trafficed and abused and has absolutely nothing to do with independent Escorts.  This alone had no hold on me, but... they said that they would contact the police if I continued to work from the apartment and that they had ways of finding out who my visitors were and would get the police onto them as well.  I assumed by this they meant that they would take note of their vehicle registration numbers.  So despite the fact that I was doing nothing wrong I immediately decided to stop using my apartment. 

This meant that I was still having to pay the rent and in order to pay the rent I needed to continue touring and using other premises and make more excuses for not being home.  This has been stressful as I do also run a business and have a dependent at home, so things have had to suffer.  I've obviously not been able to save any money over the last 3 months or so and have had to dip into my savings to keep afloat, which is soul destroying, as I was starting to do really well and was more than half way towards paying off my first big loan.

Thankfully things have really started to turn around though and the pressure is nearly off.  I'm going to be moving from Worcester and taking myself down the M5 slightly and working 10 minutes off the M5, J10 instead.  The place is very different to the space I am used to but, it's perfect for what I need and I am really looking forward to it.  I am hoping to be there in time for the Gold Cup, which is great as I have wanted to work there during the gold cup for the last 2 years, but the prices of accomodation are way too high at that time.

Hopefully some of my regulars will follow me there, although I understand that some of them will not be able to travel that far and would like to thank them for all the lovely times we have had together.  I also look forward to meeting some new people and getting some new regulars.  I believe I have already met one, who was very sweet and helped me with which area to look at within Cheltenham.  I met him for the first time yesterday, as I'm currently working in cheltenham for the week and he was lovely.

So... fingers crossed for 2012 and new beginnings.  I believe I have learnt a lot from this experience and it's so good to see light at the end of the tunnel.

The secret to the smile!

This weekend while parking up in town I noticed my Mum's car was already parked up in the carpark.  I duly rang her to find out where she was and what she was doing and we arranged to meet up for tea and cake in one of the local stores.  It transpired that she had my sister's step daughter with her and I happen to know that she is mad on Hello Kitty, so when I saw some Hello Kitty things on sale in WHSmith I felt compelled to buy her a little notepad and pen, as I thought it would keep her happy while we chatted.

When I got to the store they were already there and we organised a cup of tea and shared a yummy doughnut, which was very nice and naughty.  My Mum said that she had been asked who she was talking to my the little girl with us and she asked if it was my Sister on the phone, where upon my Mum replied, 'No it wasn't ****** it was ****** the happy one!  She was far too cheerful to be *****! Which is when she took a step back from her thoughts and realised what she had said and apparently they started to discuss between them how I am always happy, even when things are not going well in my life.

My first reaction was to be happy funnily enough that they both thought I was a happy person lol and they liked being around me for that reason.  Then my Mum asked me how I stay so happy and at the time I really could not put my finger on it, but in truth if I had I would not be able to tell her, because I truely believe that it is down to the Escorting I am doing.  It kind of kills two birds with one stone.

Let me explain.  Before I started Escorting I did have escalating debts.  I can't profess to be swimming in money now, but my bills are being paid and I am slowly banking up small amounts that will one day go towards paying off my debts and that is a very very satisfying feeling, especially for someone like myself who is very independent and proud of being self sufficient.  Then of course there is that most wonderful act of SEX!  I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoy it, how much I love making other people happy and adore being stimulated to the point of no return. I love it, love it, love it!  How could anyone not be happy when they are being given the opportinity to get deliciously tactile with such a wonderful array of people?  Not just that but the lovely warm hugs, the smiles, the laughter and the euphoria that you can't help but feel when being intimate with someone.

If anyone can let me know a way of explaining this happiness to my Mum without giving the game away I would be eternally grateful lol, as I really don't think she would understand, bless her.

Having said all that, I should be feeling rather glum today, as I have effectively paid for 2 apartments in which to work and not one booking.  Thank God for the lovely gentleman I saw yesterday afternoon, as I'm still revelling from that and how they made me feel.  I hope I do get a top up tomorrow though, as it's my last full day of being able to take incalls before next week.
