Are you fit, active, and sociable? Are you finding yourself bored, broke, and alone being locked up at home during the COVID-19 pandemic? If this sounds like you, then you’re the perfect candidate to become a male escort during these unprecedented times. While millions of people are floundering for any work opportunities they can find, the escort industry is hiring more than ever before, with demand for rent-a-dates skyrocketing as singles find themselves– just like yourself– bored and lonely at home.

Not all escorts are the skeevy, raunchy hookups that some of the adult sites make them out to be. Quite the contrary, many escorts out there are exactly what the title implies– an escort you can take to accompany you to events, affairs, or any kind of social outing. These days, escorts are increasingly popular personal partners even for romantic nights inside the home, offering comfort and companionship during times of uncertainty when meeting a real, long-term romantic partner seems like a grim endeavour.

Is Becoming an Escort the Right Choice for Me?

Having an incredible physique and excellent personal hygiene are the bare essentials for a new escort, but there’s a lot more to it than just looking good and wearing a sexy cologne. More than just being suave and sociable, an escort needs to be extroverted and self-confident while being discrete and personal.

Your clients are people seeking the comfort and security of a robust and reliable partner, and everyone’s needs are different. Some dates will want you involved right in action at social affairs, while others may prefer to keep you in the background. Some dates are looking for a man who can sweep them off their feet, yet others may want a partner who can hang back and give them safe reprieve when they need to get away.

On any given night, you may be someone’s hot date or their chill companion for a quiet night in. Some of your customers will be perfectly average Joes (or average Janes, in this case), while some customers may have more eclectic tastes or unique interests. As an escort, you’ll need to be comfortable not only in social situations but also in profoundly intimate and emotional scenarios. Sometimes, as an escort, you may be filling more of an emotional support role than a social support role. It’s critical to your success that you can be a supportive and understanding listener, especially if your client needs a shoulder to cry on or an ear to chew when there’s nobody else to be there for them.

If you think you’ve got the social skills and emotional maturity to handle the complex day-to-day demands of a male escort, then you’ve found the perfect gig that can earn you tons of side money or even become a full-time profession.

Where to Find Male Escort Jobs

Trying to freelance as a male escort is a risky endeavour. First off, new regulations are emerging in many countries to combat sex trafficking and illicit sexual services. If you say the wrong thing or take the wrong job, you could be exposing yourself to serious legal risks, or worse, significant safety concerns. For this reason, it’s imperative that you find a legitimate and reputable escort service agency to work for. While this might sound like you won’t get to keep all of the money you earn, it guarantees that you’ll only take clients who are screened and documented, so you’re assured to take only safe gigs with safe customers.

Still, finding the right escort service to work for can be tricky. If you simply search for escort services on the internet, you’ll find a slew of shady sites slinging ads for sex workers, and that’s not quite the job you’re looking for. In fact, it’s downright illegal in many regions, meaning you need to avoid sites promoting sexually intimate services to keep yourself safe.

Before taking the plunge and contacting an escort service, take the time to research the agency and learn what customers have to say about them. Services like Gentlemen4Hire offer you the safety and security of a legal and reputable escort service that keeps you and your customers honest. Working through this sort of agency ensures that you only take on clients you can trust and even helps you get steady work in the industry. You’ll be able to work as little or as much as you can attract demand, and the agency will promote you to help put your profile in front of the best matches for your interests and talents.

Escorts get a bad rap, but when you work for an honest agency, you can feel confident knowing you’re one of the good ones, and you can make loads of extra cash just being yourself and doing what you love.
