- Do you work in a private home? Then clients come to you.
- You meet them there
- The private home must have a permit so you can do your work. You don’t have to arrange that yourself
- Working in a private home is relatively safe
What’s the procedure?
Do you work in a private home? You work will be like this:
- There is a living room in a private home where you sit with your co-workers. Clients do not come into that room
- Clients sit in a separate room
- You and your co-workers take turns introducing yourselves to the client
- Does the client choose you? Then the two of you go to a private room
- You agree exactly what you will be doing and how much the client pays for that
- The manager of the home will keep an eye on the time for you. They will let you know when the time is up
- Does the client want to stay longer? If so, they have to pay more
- Does the client want additional services? In that case, the client will pay more for that. Fucking and blow jobs with a condom are usually part of the basic fee. Additional services include kissing, anal sex and blow jobs without a condom. You yourself determine whether or not you want to do those extra things.
- The client pays the manager of the home. The manager pays you
Sometimes, clients phone the manager of the private home to make an appointment with you. You don’t have to introduce yourself in that case. You go directly to the private room with the client.
Some private homes also make appointments for which you go to the client. You meet the client in a hotel or at the client’s home. This is called escort work.
Primarily women work in private homes. Transwomen sometimes work there as well. There are no special private homes for transgender sex workers.
What do you earn?
The private home determines the price the clients pay. The prices are usually listed on the private home’s website. There are huge differences between the prices charged by private homes.
You pay the private home for:
- arranging clients
- maintenance for the home
- using things in the home
That is roughly 50% of the amount the client pays the manager.
How much clients pay depends on how long your appointment lasts. The shortest appointment that a client can book is 15 to 20 minutes. Long appointments can last hours.
