Having read and listened to many books about escorts, as well as biographies written by or for escorts themselves, I can tell you one thing: in general, women enter the industry because they are bored of the 9-5 life, not because they had a "rough" childhood. They want to try something new and challenge themselves. They're tired of the same old ‘routine’ that most people follow.
If you look at many pornstars who also work as escorts, they love their job—as they should. It's good money for many of them, and no two days are the same. Additionally, escorts generally get to travel a lot and see many different places.
For example, in the biography of former
Danish pornstar Katja Kean, she says, "I was tired of the so-called ‘normal’ life. The routine became boring; that's why I sought out the adult industry." She’s not the only one to say this. Asa Akira and Sasha Grey have expressed similar sentiments in their respective biographies.
The conclusion is that the sex industry has a lot to offer. In this day and age, the media tends to focus more on the bad stories rather than the thousands of good ones.
