oh that, lol, the 8000 skin, I have no clue, I made all my skins, but I have heard of them priced upwards of 5 grand and more, I won't buy them, but it does seem that female items are priced higher in general.

Lucianna,

I know several successful escorts, and can put you in touch with them. I can also sit down with you and discuss some of the basics. Some of the posters here can tell you...I teach a basic course on Sex and Relationships in SL, which touches on a lot of the things you'll need to know to be a dancer or an escort. That's on Fridays, at 6 pm SL time. If that time isn't a good one for you, I can send you a copy of the class notes.

All the stuff about shape and skin and hair and clothes and dances and XCite appliances is fine...but all of that is merely "dressing the part".

The real qualification for either job is: Do you like sex, and talking about sex? In SL, we mostly do it in text, but there are also an increasing number of dancers and escorts who use voice. Some (not all) clients insist on it, because they are afraid of cybering with a girl who might not be a "real" girl behind her computer monitor.

I've even seen escorts who advertise webcam services. I don't recommend this at all. For one thing, why get SL-level pay for this when you could be making much more with a webcam outside of SL? For another, it's risky. What would your parents, or your spouse, or boyfriend or employer say, if someone sent them a video clip of you "working"?

Send me an IM in world, and we can talk further. Or enable Private Messages in your forum user profile, and we can talk offline here.

i would love to sit in on one of your classes.. :)

Might be thinking of the "Fat Packs." Not that I've been skin shopping recently but most of the single skins I've seen are in the 1200L - 2000L range with 1500L seemingly the most common price.

I believe there was actually an official class in "Sex in SL" at one point, which had to be closed down due to drama.

That still sounds a bit high...1000-1200L is what I see most often. And I shop. A lot. ;)

Personally, I don't see how professional girls can make a living here when there is so much competition from enthusiastic amateurs.

But if you want to give it a go, there is no need to join a group or get a job or spend any money. Just get some nice hair and a short skirt. Put a sign over your head saying "Escort" and put your rates in you profile and wander around anywhere that seems busy.

Hmm, from knowing a few that do the work : It's selling a good fantasy.

They usually provide a far better experience with text and emotes than the freebie sessions.

The saying is you get what you pay for, though from talking with many. Some of the highest priced escorts are not worth it. They stick to canned lines, or the dreaded random M's, H's and vowels... then enter again and again.

Many are going to want you on voice to prove a gender, others will start calling you little girl, etc... some are going to try and go past any limits you have.

It's fun for many, and they use alts to do it. Many of them used freebies to get the alts looking good, and did well with what's out there for free. (Females can do a lot better with freebies than the males all considering. Even those that go furry can do well with freebie till they get an avatar or two they like )

Key thing is figuring out if you want to work on your main, or an alt. Then look around at the professionals already doing it, and asking about rates and stuff.

Is it true that you can earn money Escorting and Stripping in SL


From what I have heard their numerous "girls" who never make any tips or money from this
who are in the Escort and stripping business in sl.
If clients can get stuff for free why pay?
Most are Guys who looking for it just like real life try to get it for free or with very
little effort putting anything energy or money back if they can.
The few "gals" who make money at it make it out of sheer manipulation or because
they find suckers who will over pay them for doing nothing.
Personal experience here when it comes to sex here there is no exchange of energy
just sexual vampirism.

You underestimate the role play element of being naughty and doing something you wouldnt normally do in RL. Paying for sex when it's only a couple of RL $$'s is quite the thrill for some guys (apparently) *coughs*. :)

Big hint on being an escort. Check the prospective John's shoes.

Pep (Almost infallible)


You are absolutely correct. I do that in real life also. Men never realize that the first thing a savvy woman looks at are teh shoes he is wearing. I NEVER go out with men who wear trainers outside the gym or stadium (however expensive).

On a practical note, escorting can be great fun BUT how much are you willing to compromise yourself? If you have scruples you would be wiser not to get involved. I was always a "niche player" definitely NOT a barbie. If you are comfortable with sleeping with a man in real then you shouldnt find it too difficult here. Some people would say that its all fantasy here (and that is true to a certain extent) but an orgasm is an orgasm and you know what men are like ...

Avoid teh bosomy blimp-bum; its so passe. And remember sex is all in the mind. Dont, DON'T compromise yourself with voice, video-cam, or any other "beyond sl" communication. You're a hooker - not his long term partner: remember that. Oh, and get paid first and expect a tip.

Build your own shape and face; I did and so I kept my statistics and even made my face using a mirror and teh computer (it took ages to get my real nose). I even got my real height but have had to adjust it since so many giraffes are wandering around.

Finally, many men are going to use the most denigrating language to you and will purposely demean you and you must be professional enough to let that happen. But sometimes, just sometimes, you meet a man who is lonely and crabby and is really shy or unhappy and he can be a totally different experience. You can let light into a person's life. Yes, yes, I know - "Never on a Sunday" ... Lol!

I have met those guys in real life usually it is very little but they seem to be
excited by paying for it.
I think it is absolutely personally ridiculous for some guy to feel he is sexual hotshot
over 10 to 20 dollars when the price includes risking the woman's personal safety.
Most of guys and gals I seen here they want something for nothing.
Anyway it doesn't matter personally for me I don't enjoy sex any more
and personally bit bitter about how it works in any reality right now especially
when it involves any type of money or one person doing all work, the other
sucking the other dry in the not so pleasant way.

FD its not ALL bad. Come on ... I know you have issues about it but you know that a decent escort can really be a genuine service to prevent loneliness. Older men are still men and have desires and needs - they were my niche and I am glad I may have bought some pleasure into their lives.

That is great you're able to do that, but for every one that is providing a genuine
service there is 1000 out there that it is about something else and have been burned,
bitter, feel used and only pretend they like sex but actually hate it and expect to
get paid for it.
I think low pay for certain sexual activities when the woman or man has to risk their
personal safety or it feels exploitative and violating is wrong.
Or that if you are female or have female avatar it will give you big L$ being
sexy leech off guys who might be lonely or horny.
I guess you haven't run into the one's that give you the feeling of being sucked
dry or violated, or these professional activities begin to interfer with your own sexual health and begin to become a negative experience yet.
I have been there, still there and I have friends who advocate me going out and doing
it because that is only thing others will pay for is my sexual expertise while others
tell me lot of "girls" rarely see any money in SL doing it.
If you like trade shoes, places and history then you can make a judgment call.

Although many men are indiscriminate, most will appreciate an avatar that is well put together with nice skin and a nice shape. But those things won't do much if there isn't much else to stimulate the imagination.

Hmph! *MY* class is an "official" class. It's taught in a classroom and I get paid an' everything.

It might not seem "official" if you were one of the Cartel group who flooded in the week before last, though. That was a bit more like a Hangout Party, I must admit. Even so, I got a few teaching points out there.

You might be referring to the class which was briefly offered by NCI.

My first job in SL was a stripper job, it was with a previous av i used. I was only a couple of weeks old and had crappy freebie skin and very few clothes, but i was hired because they liked my personality and the fact i loved to interact with people. I managed to recive good tips too lol. Well my first job with this av was also as a stripper, i worked at the same club for well over a year with a only a couple a cheap skins and a few nice outfits, again my personality played a big role in this, i was a hard worker and put big hours in when nobody else was willing to, i managed to get promoted to lead dancer. Well for reasons i wont mention, i left. From then on i tryed a few other places and was even hired by a very high class establishment, but i left deciding it wasnt for me.

I have never spent more than 1 k on a skin,most of my skins are from big sales or special freebies, all good quality. Hair is something im willing to spend the big l$ on, it makes a difference. I have also never spent a ton on clothing either, being in a few fashion groups, im always getting excellent freebies and sale items. all high quality. so there is no need to spend big L$ to be beautiful and stylish.Emoting is always a must, i personally prefer it over excite, i hate those talking parts.

Being able to really make a client feel like the emotion and passion that you are putting into the session are real, is very important and not easy to do. Its really a plus when they let you know they are acutally very turned on in RL. Well its been over about a year sense ive been in the escort bussiness, i have a serious bf now lol, but i have learned and experienced a lot.

When I need medical treatment or legal advice, I call upon a professional.
If the roof needs fixing, I call a professional.

However, this is one area where I prefer amateurs.






But thats just me.

There ARE lots of talented amateurs out there, for sure ;)

There are, IMO, three reasons why one might choose the pro.

1. The fantasy. A lot of people enjoy the idea of hiring a woman for the evening. The very fact that she IS a hooker is part of the turn-on.

2. No commitment. You pay a pro up front. Amateurs often expect payment afterwards, in terms of emotional commitment or exclusivity. Love is, truly, a wonderful thing...but not everyone is looking for this.

3. Skill. SL sex is all about emoting. While you'll find good cyber lovers and bad ones everywhere, your chances of finding a good one are higher among the pros.

I've never paid for sex, or been paid for it. (Though, I'll admit I've gotten a few .. um .. tips for my scripting work. :) ) But I'll stick my neck out here with a few observations.

You don't need to spend much money to get a hot avatar. Go to Gurl and ETD to get inexpensive hair (Gurl has always had an offer for one free hair for newbies; you have to be less than 2 weeks old. ETD always has good ones on sale. No doubt there are other shops too.)

There are some decent free skins. IM me if you'd like a couple, and I know there are now some better ones than the ones I have. Hopefully someone will help you out there. They're definitely good enough to get started. I also have some free lingerie, which I'll be happy to share.

My gf showed me a shop that has some great evocative clothing for very little lindens; you can get an outfit or two for just a couple hundred lindens. It's enough to help you get started. Again, IM me if you want to know; I don't remember the shop name at the moment.

Don't buy a shape right off. Once you find a skin you like, make your own shape. Try all the shapes in Library (in your inventory) for ideas, and then start playing with the sliders and see if you can make a sexy you. Later, you may find a shape you want to buy, esp one made for a specific skin. But for starters, if you're at all talented, you can learn to make your own.

What you do with your av counts far more than how much you spend on it. If you have an eye for what attracts men, you'll get plenty of interest.

However, translating that interest into cash is another matter. As mentioned above, imagination and communication are your most important assets.

Meanwhile, you'll want to learn a number of things like how to use sex apparatus in SL (like menu beds, poseballs, and add-on genitals), as well as how people just go about sex in SL. If you go solo, you'll want to find places to troll for customers, as well as places to take them (assuming you don't have your own place yet). Get a lot of free sex before you try to strike it out as a pro.

If you have your own place, I have some products I'll be happy to sell you. :) But you don't need any products, other than good hair and clothing, to start work as an escort.

A stripper will need quite a bit more clothing options. If you're not a shopaholic ... you're probably not fit for the job.

And as mentioned above: if you don't enjoy it, it won't be worth the money.

The avs for this kind of work are more or less the same as any other. They're likely to have exaggerated proportions - slim legs, narrow waists, big boobs - but hey, that describes a lot of female avs. Search for places that sell skins. You might buy a shape too, or maybe make your own.

I hope this doesn't offend, but if you have to ask, you're probably not ready to do the job. There's a reason most places don't want inexperienced residents. I'd recommend you hang out in SL a bit first and learn the ropes... how to dance, chat, emote, use poseballs etc.


oh and lets not forget the white.... shiny ... funky goo on the skins..

well she has to start somewhere...


I know there is a class for exotic dancers held often. search events education. the cost is 200L Ive never taken it but I have though about it... only becuase I am a bit shy and I think it might help with that.. I dunno...

I'd NEVER pay for SL sex! I'd never pay for SL sex with a webcam or voice... which you might think about as well.. cause just basic SL sex im sure doesn't pay much.. but I bet the webcam sex does.. or voice.. can you pant? moan? say ohh baby i love you long time?

it doesn;t take much im sure.

Oh, here's another little tip.

Find a picture of a beauty to put in your RL tab, and below it, say something fun with a wink, giving them a clue that it's not really you without actually coming out and saying it.

Few potential customers will be silly enough to think that it's you, but nonetheless it will pique their interest. Even more fun if your RL pic matches your avatar.

Keep in mind that it's all about fantasies. Help them play out their fantasies and you'll do well.

Oh yeah, lots of people really like those, both men and women. (I was surprised at the number of women who do, and only counting those I know to be RL women.)

There are some things I'm happier imagining than seeing. But, to each their own!

LOL. That reminds me of the guys who boast, "I never paid for it in my life!"

Your choice, of course...but have you asked yourself why you feel this way? I mean, if you ask someone for SL sex (or web sex in general, for that matter) you are asking for some of their time, their creativity and their undivided attention.

Isn't that worth something? Maybe you want to find someone for whom payment is their own pleasure and satisfaction. That's fine, and they are out there to be found. Other people prefer money...
