I am happily engaged and will be tying the knot in the fall.
My partner has been with me for five years and no, he isn't my pimp.
We met in a club and were friends for a long time before we started dating. When we started dating, I told him that I was also an escort and he fully accepted that. Which, I am very lucky to have a man that supports me both emotionally, physically, spirtually and financially. I'm lucky to have a man that accepts me without the makeup, the "Adrienne Baptiste" persona and all that. I'm really fucking lucky.
Because in this business, it is very hard for an escort to find someone that is loving, understanding and supportive of their decisions without passing judgement. Dating and marrying an escort/sex worker is not an easy thing to do, and it's certainly not for everyone. Nonetheless, I doon't feel ashamed about letting it be known that I have someone significant in my life.
I wear my engagement ring in all of my pictures and during dates and give no fucks.
Have I chased away clientele? Yes. No. Maybe . . . I don't know. I really don't care. In fact, I'd like to think that I've chased away the sensitive folks who are too naive to realize that escorts/sex workers have full fledged livihoods outside of this. If not that, I'd like to think that I've chased away clients who could possibly become too emotinally attached. The business is all about respecting boundaries afterall.
