Top of the Totem Pole: The Independent Escort

The very top of the Sex Professional (SP) totem pole is the "Indie".  An Independent Escort is a woman that has full control of who she sees, what she does & what she offers.  Typically, she handles her own bookings, her own clients & her own advertising.   Society refers to these women as "Escorts".  You've probably seen their ads on Craigslist or on the Internet.   Working as an Indie has it's benefits; you can choose what clients to see and when.  You control your career.  But, you also forfeit the safety of working in a MP.  Many Indie's have regular clients they see weekly which offers a level of comfort that other SP's do not have.  

There are downsides to this lifestyle.  Even with regulars you are required to constantly be on call.  You may need to forfeit going to that friends party because you need the business.  And if you are the BF of a woman that is an Indie..it can mean your night out is interrupted by a telephone call from a regular. 

The "indie" SP is essentially self employed and it translates more into a "lifestyle" than an actual job.  While many of these women are together and in control of their lives (sans Pimps) they face great challenges.  If you're dating an Indie SP..you the BF will also face these challenges.
