Hello! This is my first time posting on here, or really exploring it to be honest. It was suggested to me by a friend, well, they wouldn't call us friends but to make it simple I'll refer to them as a friend :)
I'm a legal courtesan at Kit Kat Ranch Brothel in Mound House, Nevada. I figured I'd write a bit about living in a brothel.
Well, first off, it's like a girl's dorm in college. We all live in the same house, we share the same meals, we even share bathrooms usually(I share a bathroom, Jack and Jill style). But there is a major difference: competition. Girls are "competing" for clients. That causes a lot of them to be very catty, jealous, or just plain terrible people.
I don't see other girls as competition- I see them as coworkers. Someone that comes in is going to want a specific kind of girl, whether it be petite, busty, BBW, Black, Asian- whatever it could be. That's not competition: that's just luck of the draw. An example of how I feel is this: if a guy comes in and already has a preference for girls that are shorter than him, who is he going to pick? A girl that is shorter than him. Is that that girl's fault? Hell no. She just happens to fit his type, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Everyone has a type: whether you want to agree with that or not. You have certain things you look for in people, even if it isn't on the surface level. It can be their intelligence, how they carry themselves, how they interact with others. Those are traits that you look for. Granted, the line up process we have doesn't exactly cater to people that are looking for more intellectual conversations before they go with someone, but I'll explain that later. What I'm trying to get across is that there is no reason to see others as competition: we are all different, unique, and someone out there wants you/us.
I'm not a tall blonde, I'm not a petite girl, I'm not Asian, I'm not Black, I'm not a lot of things that other girls are, and those are traits that they offer to the clients. Why should I be jealous, angry, or bitchy about it? I can't help that someone doesn't want me- that is the biggest lesson this job has taught me. That you cannot make people want you. You cannot make someone that is uninterested interested.
Now, let me break that down. If there is interest, even the slightest bit of interest, of course you can get them even more interested. But if they have zero interest from the start, you aren't going to get that client. And that is OKAY. There is nothing wrong with not being picked, there is nothing wrong with someone else being their partner for the evening/night/morning/whatever.
Now, let's talk line ups because I have mentioned it a few times and it might be slightly confusing. So, when a client comes in, they are greeted by either the hooker booker(our nickname for the person that literally books the parties for the hookers) or the bartender, depending on who is on shift/who is busy. After being greeted, all the girls are called the bar that are on shift(or working early/late on shift, like I usually do), where we stand there. Facing you. Literally just staring at you until we are allowed to give our names. A lot of people don't know that we aren't allowed to talk so they try talking to us, and it pisses a lot of people off that we just have to stand there like live stock and do nothing until it's our turn to talk. And once that process is over, the client picks the girl he wants to chat with. This is sometimes a very awkward moment for the client: they have to choose from a pool of girls and try not to make the ones that he doesn't choose feel bad. And honestly, most of us don't take it personally. There are of course those girls that do take it very personally.
I'll give an example of how some girls take it personally. I was having a very good day and got picked at every line up we had that day(happened the next day too), and a few girls were very salty about it. They complained to management about it, that's how salty they were. They accused me of dirty hustling(I'll discuss that later too), they accused me of not having clients that had appointments ring twice(you ring once if you're not there for someone specific), they accused me of everything they could think of. Nothing came to fruition from it because it was just luck of the draw. And not every guy partied that I took back, so it's not like I was gaining something. I was actually losing something by "wasting" time with a person that wasn't going to be a client.
Now, let's talk about dirty hustling, because it's a subject that people don't really talk about until you do it without knowing(I learned that the hard way). Dirty hustling can be anything from waving your hand during lineup, walking in front of others during lineup, and probably the most common one(and the one that pisses me off the most) is when a girl approaches a guy that sits at the bar before he has his drink in front of them. We are not allowed to do that. We have to wait until that damn drink is in front of them before we approach. Now sometimes, girls don't. And that is dirty hustling. Some people get called out on it, but it depends on how high you are in the hierarchy.
Let's go over that: the hierarchy. It's a pretty simple to understand, you make the most money things get ignored. Your drunkness, you missing calls to lineups, you dirty hustling, etc. You don't make a lot of money, you get pinged for minor things such as not getting picked in lineups(which is literally not your fault), not making enough(again, not your fault if you aren't getting picked), you aren't posting enough(we have private forums to communicate with clients, I'll explain that too), and basically the whole by are you even here if you aren't going to work speech. If you are friends with the higher ups, you also gain that immunity to certain things. Same goes for if you are friends with the "peasants", you get treated worse. I happen to be somewhere in the middle: I make my daily goals or go above them, some days I don't. I don't make the most in the house, but I don't make the least either. I'm middle class here, which comes with no perks, but that's not a bad thing. I'm friends with both a higher up(the person that is currently making the most money in the house) and the "peasant"(the girl that makes the least). Both girls are amazing people, both have their own niches. One just happens to be a tall, beautiful blonde(guess which that one is), and while the other is in a smaller niche: BBW(Big Beautiful Woman, meaning she has curves).
Now, to the forums. They are on our websites that just show our specials, what's going on in our lives, etc. It's basically a blogging site set up to draw in clients. And it does, on occasion. I have gotten a few clients because of it. But you get in trouble for not posting enough, not having your posts on the front page, etc. etc. This is where girls that are higher up get passes; but the smart ones still do it.
I'd like to think of myself as a smart girl because I not only do it for myself but I do it for other girls as well. I come from a background with computers, coding, SEO, all that good stuff, so I market it here. Girls don't care to spend an hour writing 20 posts a day, where as I can do it in 15 minutes or less. The forums are exposure, that's all they are. Which is sad, because a majority of the time it is just us girls talking to each other. We have ghosts(potential clients that don't post or sign in), we have few people that respond to our posts that aren't other girls. It is slightly a broken system because you get in trouble for not promoting other girls, when in the managements eyes we are competing. That aspect of this I don't understand.
I understand keeping up posts on Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, etc. because those are social media. They are SOCIAL, they are public. Our forums are not public, necessarily. But anyway..
I'm going to try and keep a sort of diary on here about my adventures/days on here because this is a good place to educate people on the sex industry because it is something that is still very taboo, even though it is the oldest profession.
