Dating a working lady (Advice please)

Magic75

Hi
I've been dating a working lady for a few months now, and would like to hear about any experiences or tips that people may have, especially ladies on this site who have been in a relationship while working, or guys who have dated a working lady.

All is going great, we get on great, she's honest and open with me about her work, and i am understanding and have accepted her work, and that it involves her being intimate with other men , but occasssionaly i feel uneasy about it.
My questions are, and I have asked this to her, but I seem to be nagging her too much about it, well that's what she says.

1- Do working ladies enjoy relationship sex, even if they are having sex at work, on that day, is there are completely different feeling, or are they sick of sex, and do it to please their partner?
2- Are there any tips for me for feeling like I'm missing out at times with sex and intimacy as other men are having my partner.
We dont live together at the moment.

Thanks in advance for helping me out.
 
Re: Dating a working lady

I am married and am a w/l.

The problem with answering your questions is that EVERY relationship is different and EVERY w/l is different.

I will tell you this though as a w/l and as a wife there are certain things I keep to myself so I don't offend my husband to cause insecurities.

My advice is to stop sounding like a broken record as you will cause a wedge between you two. Most days I am EXHAUSTED from all the sex and the last thing I want to do is have sex. Selfish??? Perhaps, but do you want to leave work to go home to work when all you want to do is have a shower and go to bed?

Relationship sex and client sex is different. Both are great! But the lust and love you have for your partner is incredible but so is a new hot experience!

I would also consider conselling together so you can hear her side of the story. But also counselling by yourself to get your head around it all can work wonders!
 
Re: Dating a working lady

Sex with someone you are in a relationship and have feelings for is so much better than someone or a client that you don't feel for. I have a girl friend that is a W/L and what makes it worse she is in another country. Open communication I found is the best. I am sure she does not tell me everything but we are very honest with each other at that helps.
Although these girls have sex for a job they still need love and a supportive partner.
 
Re: Dating a working lady

I think the fact you on here asking the question is a worry,I believe it can be done and you would have to be some special person to pull it off.i think it will get WORSE,wait and see.. I had feeling for a W/L and dated a couple over the years and did not work..yes it can be done but very hard..Good Luck! It would be intersting if u could come back and tell all how it all went in 6 mths.ps I wrote about in here as well looking for answers.
 
Re: Dating a working lady

I could be in a relationship with a w/l if she brings home a lady friend for me every so often :D I could never be serious though with a w/l, would be a casual thing.

If you still feel uneasy about it all after a couple of months then maybe you should look at the relationship.
 
Re: Dating a working lady

I dated a working lady for about 5 months. She was, and still is a great girl, but I struggled with various parts of the relationship. My issues were with her being intimate with so many men, and felt I was missing out. I began to think that she saw me as just another client too. I was only seeing her about once or twice a week due to the distant apart we lived.
She ended up breaking up with me, but then about 6 weeks later wanted to get back together. I wanted to, but decided it would be best not to. We both had stuff going on that needed to be dealt with. I felt that she needed to be more understanding of my feelings in the relationship, and maybe reassure, and show me that I was the one she wanted. I did feel a little used at times, but thats me, i was just generous, i didnt do anything i didnt want to. I felt that I was as supportive as I could have been with her work, and life.
I still think about her alot, and do miss her, but at the moment, I'm not ready to go back into the relationship until we have both dealt with our issues.
Relationships with working ladies, can be hard, but can be amazing too. I feel I've seen both sides.

Re: Dating a working lady

I share a house with one even though she only advertises occasionally to make a bit extra money.
 
Re: Dating a working lady

I do know one w/l with a long term partner and the two of them seems to have worked it out. At the end of the day it really depends on what sort of relation ship you are having. I could assume that a relation ship with a w/l that is not based on sex (mainly) can survive. Relation ships are so much more than 'just' sex........a person to share time with, do things together, discuss things etc........so sex is only one part and as pointed out already.....sex with a stranger is entirely different than sex with a partner.
LOL.....honestly.....and that might sound weird.........I enjoy sex with total strangers..........there is definitely something about it.

Re: Dating a working lady

Focus on being friends, and work really hard at being friends. Be there for each other, never judge. The other stuff will follow. And if it doesn't, you'll never wonder if there was something else you could have done.

Very true words. I was involved in a few of relationships when I used to be a WL. One extremely difficult one, who could not discern that my intimate relations with clientele was nothing like my intimate relations in my personal life. One who was so turned on by it I actually think it was kind of his kink. Another who was totally accepting but we parted ways for different reasons, nothing to do with the occupation. I do believe it is not the easiest position for a partner to find himself in, it takes a very special man to understand.
 
Re: Dating a working lady

I've been dating a W/L on and off for several months. We always have great fun together. I think it works well because neither of us have got too serious about the other. If you can keep things semi-detached like this I think then the sex issues don't really come up.

No definitely doesn't sound weird to me at all, I agree both are very different experiences and either can be very enjoyable with the right partners

@Magic75

In response to your 2nd question;

If you look up "Polyamory" articles online, you'll find heaps about the "feeling like I'm missing out at times with sex and intimacy as other men are having my partner". Whilst you may not be Polyamory, I'm sure you'll find what they have to say with dealing about jealousy and negotiating relationships helpful.

Re: Dating a working lady

For me it would all depend on where we meet each other to start with and if we are both upfront with what we want out the relationship to start with
 
Re: Dating a working lady

this is such an interesting topic. i can't even count the number of times i've had a client casually ask, "so, do you have a boyfriend? ... no? want one?"

i don't date while i work. i know many girls who do (a good amount of these ladies have partners who are completely unaware ... but that's another topic), but i've always come to the conclusion that i just cannot date while working, and i've never been anything but 100 percent single. i'd rather avoid the possible messes it could create. there's also the chance it could result in the loss of an entire social group. think about it: this guy knows a huge secret. should things go sour and people start acting irrationally, certain things could come out into the open.

paranoid? yeah, maybe. but i know many working girls who share the sentiment.

Hi
I've been dating a working lady for a few months now, and would like to hear about any experiences or tips that people may have, especially ladies on this site who have been in a relationship while working, or guys who have dated a working lady.

I've had two WL girlfriends, one is still current. The initial stages of my relationship with my first girlfriend were very difficult for me. Although I had met her as a client, I still suffered from that mainstream male reaction of territoriality ... which, given the circumstances, was just crazy. I nearly drove myself nuts before I found a good place, mentally, and accepted the reality of things.


All is going great, we get on great, she's honest and open with me about her work, and i am understanding and have accepted her work

Have you? Sure? I'm not being silly or inflammatory. I know you probably think you _should_ accept her work, but on the inside, where no-one can see but you, have you really accepted her work?

I had to face this one head on. My first WL girlfriend has actively and vigorously worked her business for 10 years. She's seen everything that can be seen and done everything that can be done. One cannot have _any_ stereotypical male insecurities when entering a relationship like this. Unfortunately, I wasn't free of many of these things and she helped me a lot to grow through some pretty personal stuff that turned out to be no more than left overs from my youth/growing up.

and that it involves her being intimate with other men , but occasssionaly i feel uneasy about it.

Yep. I still get these too. An uneasy feeling will spring up out of nowhere ... I'm not sure if its a weird form of jealousy or what it is, but it surprises me and isn't easy to deal with.


My questions are, and I have asked this to her, but I seem to be nagging her too much about it, well that's what she says.

Yep, you probably are. I whined and wrung my hands and generally needled my first girl for ages. It was all based on insecurity. You have to get past it or your relationship with her won't work.

She knows what she does, you know what she does - whats to talk about? You want her to talk about how she feels about what she does? Fine, she probably will if you ask ... mostly the ladies are really strong and secure within themselves and if you really want the floodgates open, then you better strap on a pair (hehehe). But the ladies I've been involved with are not insensitive to how their chosen profession can affect the men they love, and so long as you don't make it a big deal they won't either.


1- Do working ladies enjoy relationship sex, even if they are having sex at work, on that day, is there are completely different feeling, or are they sick of sex, and do it to please their partner?

Ahh, yes, the question we'd all like to know ... even when we're just punters, let alone in a relationship. Is this bang special? I'm not going to knock you, I've had these thoughts. It took an honest WL to look me right in the eye and tell me the truth of things to get past this as an issue.

My first WL girlfriend, the one referenced above, has been with thousands of different men, literally, thousands - I'm talking in the region of 5,000-8,000 or more and thats not even talking about the repeat customers, just _different_ men. She is as sweet and cute and fluffy as any other lovely girl you'll ever meet - but don't piss her off with nonsense talk about sex or relationships, let me tell you hehehehe.

As a guy I won't ever be able to get inside the head of a WL, or any lady, but my take is that work is work and love is love and they are not the same. If she'd seen 50 clients in the last week then theres a fair certainty she won't be initiating sex with me, but I certainly did get all the cuddles and giggles and everything else - she's just physically exhausted. If I was to give her a nudge she'd throw me a "freebie" so to speak. So, I'm thinking that during active working times you're much more likely to get the "pleasing the partner" thing. But its important to not take this the wrong way.

However, my experience has been that given a holiday from work, what you get is the real deal - all the WL's I've come to know well have been ladies who enjoy sex a great deal ... that may seem glib, but I was nevertheless somewhat surprised. In these circumstances I am inclined to think that yes indeed, relationship sex is quite different to 'work' sex. I was severely reprimanded by my girl for even going down this road with her - and she was right - it was simply nothing more than my own insecurity surfacing.


2- Are there any tips for me for feeling like I'm missing out at times with sex and intimacy as other men are having my partner.
We dont live together at the moment.

I have only a small clue what you mean here. The "missing out" but sounds like something different from jealousy. Sounds a bit like you are not getting as much sex in your relationship as you'd like?? Is that it?

Or is it that you feel that your loved lady has only a certain amount of sex 'cake', and that many other men are eating most of the slices?

You'd have to fill me in on the subtlety of your direction here for me to try and give an honest reply. For my guess, it sounds a bit like you are possibly being a really sensitive guy and don't want to overtax your lady in her 'off time' (or relationship time).

If I'm right with that last, get over it, and right now. I got the wedgy of my adult life by going down this road with my girl. I like what I consider to be a fair amount of sex and physical intimacy in my life. My marriage failed and to a large degree it was because of basic sexual incompatibility. So, I had trained myself, mentally, to not request much of my lady loves, which then leads to a certain continual undercurrent of physical frustration. My WL girlfriend called me out on this in a big way. Mate, WL's know men and are absolute experts and reading our body language. Don't think you can hide a single thing from your WL girlfriend.

Whilst ripping me a new one for being a complete fykewit about it, she told me straight up, that I'm a nice guy, which is why she's even with me. So I had to get that under my belt #1. #2 was that it was almost 100% certain that I couldn't sexually tax her in any meaningful way as one single man ... in other words, I'd run out of puff long before her. She had sex with me, a previous client but now boyfriend, because she loved me and wanted to have sex with me - if I wanted to fyke her 4 or even 6 times a day (her words, not mine, and no, I'm not up for it) she'd love it and its not a problem ...

Yikes! Cop that one Mr Zane

Want some proof? (yes, I had her fired up now, and was getting both barrels)

Doing me 6 times a day won't even hit the 50% mark of my heavy business days, but you're my boyfriend and I _want_ to have sex with you.

Good luck with your relationship - WL's are the best of breed, funny, strong, independent, free spirited - but you gotta leave most of the currently socially/politically correct relationship crap behind you, because its not how the world really works, its a fantasy ... once I clawed my way past this realisation a whole new 'free' level of fulfilment in life opened up before me. I'm trying to be less of a twat in my second WL relationship :)
 
Do not expect a Hollywood style Pretty Woman experience unless of course you are lucky enough to be a millionaire or billionaire. Most sex workers would be average human beings with all the female issues attached but the only difference is that they are a sex worker. If you can get past the fact that the W/L is a sex worker, it may have a chance of working out. Just never ask her how her day at work went because it may not be a topic she wants to discuss with you.
 
Don't want to get off topic too much, but heres something I've been pondering for a while.

As I've said above, I've had two WL girlfriends, both pretty active, no part timers or time wasters, they are both on a mission and work their businesses. But in both cases I've encountered what appeared to me, on the surface at least, to be unfair jealousy with relation to me seeing other working girls.

In a 'normal' civilian relationship the two people involved can choose to have the monogamy talk, and if both agree, then fine, monogamy it is. But one can't really have this speech with a WL ... surely?

Its come up on multiple occasions with me, with both girls. They'd prefer I didn't see other women. At first I simply didn't know how to respond to this, and in many ways I still don't, but with both ladies I had the opportunity to say ... yes, I understand, but its also a bit hard for me too, given that you see many men each week.

My first girlfriend didn't buy this for a moment, aha, she says, but I am doing this for the money, no other reason. Why do you see other girls? I had a small temporal advantage when she said this as she was touring and we hadn't seen each other at the time of this conversation for about 6 weeks. I couldn't say much more than that it was as difficult for me as it was for her, and that we just had to understand each others needs. Monogamy can't be one sided. Add to this my girls admission that if she chose to take an orgasm from her clients it most certainly was possible, in perhaps 10% of cases (according to her). This dispelled my previously held belief that WL's really rarely, if ever, orgasmed during 'work time' - I'm ok with that by the way, its a physical act and chemistry is real ... I can't see the problem.

But what is it about _paying_ that makes this scenario so different from being _paid_?
 
Hi Magic75,
As previously written in this thread by other W/L, sex at work and sex with your partner are on 2 different playing fields.
I am lucky and fortunate to have a wonderful and caring man in my life and I can assure you that not only is our sex life extremely healthy open and adventurous it is also very loving and romantic.
You are possibly not missing out anything is my bet, so relax a little :)
From my experience if she is happy to spend time with you on an intimate and personal level out of work you are doing something right.
We are "normal" and really, at the end of the day its best that you remember this ....

Best of luck with it all !!!

What happens if she has feelings for one of those "Special" client?... I wonder if that conversation will be brought up at the dinner table?
 
I used to date a client for about a year. Personally, I don't believe they ever can really work. Firstly, you should consider how comfortable you really are acknowledging the fact she would've had her 'fair share' of men before coming home to you that night. Secondly, you should consider how comfortable you are letting your family and friends know what her profession is, because if you aren't comfortable with being honest with them there you'll have to live in a continual lie.

To answer your questions:
1. Yes, I really did enjoy having sex when I was in a relationship. It's different to having sex with a client. Honestly, I found I did become a little sick of sex after a busy weekend and I'd focus on my boyfriend's pleasure.
2. It probably won't change.
 
My Girl is a sex worker.

Greetings good people of the forum!!

My thread title is quite self-explanatory. I just found out that my girlfriend has been working the night to pay of her university. I am an extremely liberal fella and though it bothered me at first (of course it was a shock) i am quite ok with it now but somehow i still feel a bit awkward. I know that she loves me heaps and "its just a job" and all that jazz, it still is kinda..sorta..a bit of a hard pill to swallow.
I realise that its completely monetary issue and i back her 100%. I would like to hear from the forum,(I am pretty sure there are loads of you are or have been in a similar predicament) how you got your head around the fact your partner is a sex worker?

Regards,

Bradley :)
 
This is a great topic and affects all W/L's at some point.
I have been in the industry twice in my life and have returned after a 20year absence.
I am of the believe that relationships are a no go for me when I am working for the following reasons.
1/ I personally could not love or respect a man that would be ok with me working on my back
2/ When the relationship hits a rough patch. Being a W/L is the first thing that is thrown in your face.
3/ If you expect a monogamous relationship it has to be for both of you.
Suppose I am still an old fashion girl but I have never been good at picking the right guy anyway
 
yes I do have a lot to offer the right man but like I said I am not good at picking the right man. After 10 years out of the industry I married what I thought was the perfect man but when it got rocky my working life was the first thing he threw in my face. So the one thing I have promised myself is not to be honest and share my past.
Oh and like trading in your car I was traded for a newer model lol.
I have forever been the optimist and always looked for the good in people now I find myself seeking flaws in everyone I meet.
Suppose that makes me a pessimist now.
I hope there is someone there to prove me wrong xx
 
This is sad Viv, I'm sorry to hear this. You're change from optimist to pessimist makes perfect though sense considering how you were treated, but hopefully you'll see that there is still good and trustworthy people out there.

My partner left me after 22 years for nobody so I'm still not even sure how to react at this point.
 
I hope there is someone there to prove me wrong xx

...we've all been kicked in the guts at some point our lives, Viv...but to let it mould/shape us would, in my opinion, be an acknowledgement of defeat. I'm sure there is someone who WILL prove you wrong...just don't throw up the shutters...leave them open for the right guy to see WHO you are rather than WHAT you are!

:-)
