I have been offered money, cars, clothes and all at a time when I could have really used any of that. But I knew I could not face my daughter or myself if I had lowered my personal morals for that. I had lowered them enough to work in horrible office environments with people who would have no problems paying me for "extra" work.
I'm not a sex worker nor do I denigrate anyone who has chosen that as a profession. I said personal morals, which means for myself only. I would never try to instill my morals on anyone else, and I resent others who try to do the same to me.
Still, I will admit to having second thoughts about not accepting anything for a fling. Heaven knows how much it would have helped. I'm forever thankful I did not.
Over many decades...I too have many, many, many times been offered money, cars, long vacations to overseas resorts...once a Rolex and a Phillipe Patack (spelling?) watch of my choice...for anything from a night to a long weekend to a full week or more of my time/companionship with sex included. Sometimes the offer was from women, but most of the offers were from couples or just the husband asking to "pay me for my time" to spend it with their wives/girlfriends. And oddly, I have had guys find me, contact me, and ask me to find a way to meet their wife...girlfriend...even fiancé...and see if I could tempt them to "stray" sexually with me.
I have also been found and approached...and when I declined their offers...I have been threatened in all sorts of ways and even physically...or threats to "ruin me"...stalkers...all sorts of "crazies".
I have always turned down each and every single time any offers of money, cars, etc. I am not Richard Gere in American Gigelo....though I look good in my suits...LOL...which is my daily attire. Or at least as good as I can possibly look given that I am not what any one would call "handsome".
Over the decades I have had many clients first contact me because they had "heard good things" about me. I hope it is because of my talent (hard work and research) and financial acumen in doing well for them. But I also know it is because they most likely heard about my endowment and virility. A subtle indicator is that. most clients meet me for the first time alone...mostly men...some single/divorced women with a portfolio...but then...the later meetings...nearly always include the wife. And the line "I have heard so much about you" or some refrain of that is nearly always said in their introduction. And the looks and glances and then outright jaw dropping stares when they see the hint and crease and shadows of me down my suits extra extra extra long rise bulge and continuing way far down my trousers leg. The looks in their eyes are that they now "know" and are shocked and impressed...
And as my relationship with them as my client goes forward in time...each and every time...the wives also show up for the occasional meetings to go over their portfolio. I find that fine because their portfolio is for both them...but most others in my profession almost never have both husband/wife present for the meetings.
I have had...most clients eventually...with varying degrees of hesitation or out right boldness...just bring up my endowment that they have "heard of" and ask if I would "show them". And often then I get asked for sex of some sort...until...and IF....I consent to showing them...then nearly all freak out, shocked, and are happy to "see" but do change their mind about their wanting any sort of actual penetration sex other than just "touching" or such. I rarely let any of that happen....mostly because I am not attracted to all women...selective standards....but I don't begrudge them asking. I think it is almost human nature....so I am not offended. Not thrilled...but. not offended either.
Long answer....but it is a complex question with many experiences over the decades.
And...have I ever paid in any. way for sex? No...other than repeated dating with dinners and fun activities like any dating over time. Then....if I had met Mrs. EllieP before she was a Mrs....I would have given her the sun, the stars, and the moon to have the opportunity to give her a lot of orgasms for all the days and nights of her life....
