HEY HEARTUN ~ When I came to Second Life I looked around at a lot of jobs so I could make money so I could buy fancy clothes and a sweet little house. I started with pole dancing at a club. After a while I bought a nice enough skin and some animations and sexy clothing and I tried to be a model — but I couldn’t find anyone who wanted to pay me so I switched to being an escort.
I get clients, but most want to argue about my price — which is amongst the lowest of any of the Escorts I know. Others want me to do gross stuff like AgePlay and Furies. What do I have to do to start making some real money instead of the chump change my patrons kick out? ~ IMA BARBIGURL
DEAR IMA BARBIGURL ~ A hot skin and a bunch of sexy animations do NOT a good whore make! The sex trade in Second Life is robust and a really good whore can get a ton of Linden for getting her (sometimes his) clients hot and bothered. But you have to paint a picture. The sexy pose balls and such are just props — you gotta work hard for your money. You are selling fantasy.
First off, lets put aside this idea that you are having intercourse. You aren’t. Virtual sex is assisted masturbation, sometimes assisted mutual masturbation. Seeing their avatar boinking your avatar is nice, but its the human element behind the avatars that excites your client. You’ve got to find their fantasy first, then provide them with it. Best way to do that is to ask up front. And you really have to listen, because being an escort is all about getting repeat business… and referrals.
When your client starts telling you about their fantasy, listen carefully and ask leading questions that draw out more details. If you can do this in a quiet place with a casual setting, like a lounge or a bar, that’ll help. Even if you are chatting in instant message, paint the picture. This is also a great time to discuss your pricing terms and to get paid. Just like real life this is a cash up front kind of business. A little haggling is allowed on the clients part but if they try to beat down your price too much you haven’t sold them on your ability to satisfy their fantasy. Go back to the beginning and talk up your features and benefits.
When the preliminaries are taken care of, go to your love shack and engage your client in dialogue that acts out their fantasy. Be detailed. Tell them what you are doing to them. Tell them how what they are doing makes you feel. Be poetic and graphic all at the same time. Learn to pace things. If they busts a nut early, be kind and offer them a complimentary back-rub to enhance the value of the encounter. If they’re up for it in a reasonable amount of time, give it another go. ~ HEARTUN BREAKER
