So when a man in his 60s got in touch with me, I turned up at his house as he\u2019s recently been widowed. He confessed, its been years since he had sex since his wife\u2019s illness put paid to that.\u00a0 Looked as if I\u2019d be dealing with a `virgin\u2019 and you\u2019ll be surprised at the number of men I\u2019d met who were virgins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMind you, some men liked to pretend they were inexperienced. They get a kick out of a woman teaching them how to have sex. But some really did need educating. I\u2019ve had my fair share of virgins \u2013 young men looking to do it for the first time were common, as were religious men before their wedding night. They all just wanted to get that difficult first time out of the way with a woman who could take the lead.\u00a0 And for the hefty fees I charge, I was more than willing to be their teacher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd there are men who think they\u2019re God\u2019s gift to women. Generally, they are completely clueless. Men who pay for a good time generally want me to tell them I\u2019m loving every second of it.\u00a0 They don\u2019t want to know that I\u2019m really thinking about what I\u2019ll have for dinner that night.<\/p>\n<p>Embarrassing Date Disasters!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the past six years or so, I\u2019ve seen every side of life in the `sex\u2019 industry \u2013 the good, the bad and the ugly. I had a fairly standard upbringing in a small town \u2013 lots of friends, a loving family and a very average school experience before my parents came to Lagos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of people see what I now do as a glamorous lifestyle, sneaking off to lavish hotel rooms to meet businessmen or last-minute dirty weekends away with millionaires.\u00a0 I\u2019ve had my share of rich `clients\u2019 but that experience never delved into the practicalities of the job.\u00a0 It can be messy, dirty and downright disgusting. Other times, it can be boring and monotonous. You can meet the strangest people too who want unusual things done to them to be able to get some sort of kicks.\u00a0 All in all though, the money is good most of the time \u2013 and tax-free too!\u00a0 That\u2019s not to say my experience has been wonderful all the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA couple of years ago, I was doing really well and making a lot of money. I\u2019d bought a small low-income flat and always had spare cash to treat myself. So when a good friend talked me into joining her in the cat fish business, I fell for it.\u00a0 She\u2019d gotten the business on its feet, my contribution was to help go into marketing the smoked aspect of the business.\u00a0 Needless to say, we\u2019d bitten more than we could chew and competition was stiff.\u00a0 It took no time for the business to bite the dust, causing me to lose my life\u2019s savings. My dream of calling it quits with `escorting\u2019 came crashing with the business.\u00a0 `Escorting is easy money and I\u2019m good at it\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a regular boyfriend and he has no idea what I do. The fish business was a good cover-up when we started it and, to this day, he still believes that\u2019s what I still do.\u00a0 As things stand now, I\u2019d rather wait until the economy picks up before I stop so I can at least have a chance of getting decent pay for a proper job. And I won\u2019t work in a bank if it\u2019s in the marketing department.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I could change one thing, it would be agreeing to take on the cat fish business with a friend. That was the catalyst to my downfall. But I don\u2019t regret anything else.\u00a0 I\u2019ve lived a rich life \u2013 and I\u2019ve got stories only a few people in the country\u00a0 could match!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n\t\tvar js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n\t\tif (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n\t\tjs = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n\t\tjs.src = \"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_GB\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.9&appId=1281965775160257\";\n\t\tfjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n\t}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><script>\n\t\/\/Facebook\n\t(function(d, s, id) {\n\t  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n\t  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n\t  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n\t  js.src = \"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.4&appId=513460408765074\";\n\t  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n\t}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n\t<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eight years ago, Bella lost her job as a marketing executive when the relatively new bank she worked for down-sized.\u00a0 \u201cThe job was a glorified name for prostitution anyway\u201d, she explained in her usually blunt way.\u00a0 \u201cFemale employees are sent into the `field\u2019 to solicit for customers for the bank \u2013 and we were usually [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":647203,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[3059,788,3060],"class_list":["post-647202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-lifestyle","tag-exbanker","tag-recession","tag-spends"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What an ex-banker spends the recession doing!
