Speaker 1 (00:05):
Appoge production.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
You've had, say, clients that night you come on to
say somebody, and then are you sexually getting when you're
sexually with that person? Are you sexually being with them
because it's you or you or they feeling that you're.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Treating them like a client. That's what I would be
getting the shits about.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
No. No, The best way I've been able to describe
this is sex with a partner is like somebody else
tickling me. Sex with a client is like I'm tickling myself. Okay,
there's an element with my partner. There's so much emotion involved.
(00:54):
I'm very turned on. I love being with them. We
have intimacy to get where from a partner. Oh no,
I'm very submissive. Really, I am insanely submissive. I'm very submissive.
And so with a partner, you've got all of that
really beautiful stuff. With a client, I am it's my job.
(01:16):
I'm providing a service. So yeah, they are getting aspects
of me. But I mean it, and I'm very good
at what I do.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
But I'm just asking because I know I know two
people have been a mush they said they do Oh my.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Lord, if somebody said to me, okay, every so often
somebody will say, oh, no, I don't want to kiss,
and I'm like, do I don't have cooties? Yes? No,
Well I'm providing this really beautiful experience for somebody that
(01:52):
maybe it's not sex focused. Yes, sex sometimes happens, but
there are quite a lot of times where I'm not
having any intercourse. I'm not even taking my kid off.
But there are things that people come to me for
and it's touch. It's beautiful. I see a lot of
(02:16):
people who haven't touched a woman in a really long time,
they've been single for a very long time, or they've
just decided that, you know what, I hit ten years
without being somebody, and I decided that I was going
to meet someone, and I'm like getting teary. I'm just like,
oh my god, you picked me out of a massive
like list, Like I thank you. I'm humbled that you
(02:37):
picked me out of everyone. There's so many of them,
and I just it's a very yeah, it's very I
don't know. I really enjoy.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
No, I.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
No, I love it. I love it, and I love
that connection with people, and I love bringing people that
as well. There's so much of what I do on
this also so much. I think the misconception is that
people are just coming and just like plowing us through
for however long they're with us for, and that's not
it at all. I find that with the people that
(03:13):
I see and look. It may be just because I've
set myself up to see these kinds of people, but
it's all very loving and very authentic, and quite often
I'm in tears afterwards because it was such an emotional
release for them.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
So my next question would be, have you ever felt
one of your clients? Have you have what happened with that?
I don't know, did you get did you kind of
get scared?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
And I've seen thousands of clients and I've never had
this happen before. I have my you know, I do
have a bit of a routine. So you know, when
you arrive, I put you in the shower, we do money,
we'll chat will you know, I get a vibe of
who you are, and we'll talk about things and it'll
just go from there and then it actually progresses start kissing.
(04:12):
This happens la and I can kind of you know,
if they're with me for two or three hours, I
can kind of map out what's going to happen in
the timeline of that of our time together with this guy.
He came in and I don't know what happened. It
was like I was struck by lightning, and I have
actually been struck by lightning, so it was kind of
(04:33):
the same. I went giddy. I didn't do my routine.
I forgot to put him in the shower. He just
like was awkwardly in his clothes while we just chatted,
and I couldn't pull it together. I could not pull
it together. It felt like we were on a first date. No,
it's just yeah, yeah, no older and it just threw
(04:59):
me off and I felt so bad. I felt, oh
my god, I haven't provided the service that this guy
thought that he was obviously going to get. I didn't
do I just giggled my way. I was just so embarrassing.
I was like, what the fuck have I done? And
I've never done this before ever. Actually it's the first
(05:23):
time I've come to realize it's the first time that
I've actually initiated a move. I only ever in my
whole life have had guys pull a move on me.
I would never ever dream of it. And I felt
so bad and I just said tim at the end
of our booking where nothing happened and nothing happened. No,
(05:44):
she was sitting and I couldn't pull it. I couldn't
pull it together. I don't know what was wrong with me. No,
we were I mean we were just talking so deep
about life and everything. And then time was up and
I was like, okay, well, I'm sorry about all of that.
And I was like, do you want to get a
drink with me? Like, do you want to get a
(06:06):
and he was like oh, like like he's like, I
would love to, but I mean I can't afford to
pay you again. And I was like no, no, no, no, no,
like like just come out with me for a drink.
And he was like, Okay, I'd love to.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Tolon he keeps sting, Yeah, a little watt don't want
to give to.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah, that's the only time that it's ever ever happened,
ever happened. But there have been times like there have
been times, you know, I've I had a client for
four years and I found out that he was he
had a ring and was going to propose to me.
Oh yeah, So I've had the other side of that too,
(06:51):
and that was quite hard to navigate. Yeah, anyway, I said, no, Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Worse clients. There's got to be one. There's got to
be a worst client you've had.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
So there are these really awful websites in their forums
where these keyboard warrior men it's almost like a pissing contest,
and so it's actually these websites make me feel ill.
So for them, it's just this big, you know, show
(07:27):
of oh, well, I've hooked up with this one, this one,
this one, this one, this one, and then they jump
on these forums and they give a really hectic every
single thing detail review, and then other guys will jump
on and comment and they'll pick everything apart like everything.
(07:50):
I had this time with a guy recently, and at
the end of our time together, I was like, Okay,
he wasn't my usual type that I get, but he
seemed like a nice guy and I had a good
time all gasm's. We had sex a couple of times,
(08:11):
and we had really good, interesting chats. When he left,
I even looked into like the things that we were
talking about. I thought that for me, it was just
a you know, standard what I provide. He as he left,
he was like, yeah, I'll definitely love to book you again.
Love to see you again. I was like, okay, that
was great. Not that I ever have anybody say anything bad.
(08:34):
I don't ever. And he posted a review on me
on one of these forums and it was so inaccurate
of our time together that it actually made me just go,
I'm so confused. My brain wants to understand it. And
(08:57):
so I know the experience that I had with him,
and I know how he responded and how he was,
but then for him to be like, well I with
Karlie electric and actually, do you know what wasn't worth
the money? You know, put your money on horses, like
you'll have better luck. And I was like, this isn't
the experience that we had, And so it's kind of
rocked me a little bit. Yeah, it's just made me
(09:20):
realize that there are people out there who you know,
I'm being authentic and genuine and trying to give that
experience to somebody, and you know, I am giving such
a large part of myself and I try and do
it the best of my ability every single time. And
you know, to read just such a nasty thing like
it was telling me to go to the gym like
(09:40):
a sword, like you put me because I'm curvy. It
literally says in my profile that I'm curvy, I've got
an ecup, like I'm not skinny. I'm like, but yeah,
it was. It was pretty scathing. But yeah. And so
these websites are just awful and they're just out there
taking down women because it makes them feel better about themselves.
(10:03):
It's a definitely a certain type of male.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
The mind plays games to make you look you should anyway.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yeah, some awful people out there. So I've just put
it out on Twitter. Don't you're if you are on
these websites, do not book me. I don't want to
see you, don't want your money. I work so hard
at trying to only see the best kind of people.
And he definitely when he turned up, I was like, oh,
you're a slob, Like You're not who I usually usually see. Yeah, anyway,
(10:41):
that was the red flag.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
We this parentheses from people or me, let's call you
first's you?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
So? Okay, we've touched on hands. My dms on Instagram
are full of guys sending me hand picks and I
would much prefer that over unsolicited picks. So thank you, man. Okay,
So I do love I'm into Oh god, why do
(11:11):
I say these things out in public. I like the
idea of cock and also I'm into like stagger and
vixen And do you know what any of these things
are you looking at? You would have no idea what
a cock is. Okay, So a cock is a subservient male.
(11:39):
It's usually quite a degrading thing. They think that they're
a piece of shit. And do you know every hotel
room has a cock chair, you know, like every Yeah,
in every hotel room there's a bed and then there's
always just like one armchair. Anyway, that's what we call
the cocktare. So the man will book me and he
(12:02):
will sit in the cucktare. He will not touch me.
He doesn't think that he's worthy to even be in
my presence, and so he wants to see me have
sex with somebody like a stag or a bull. And
they are more the dominating type. They're somebody that he'll
never be. They're told they're fit, they've got muscles, they're confident,
(12:26):
they're all of the things. He just thinks that he
is a piece of shit. Like it's actually the self
deprecation of these guys is insane. It's actually really full on.
And so they will then just sadly beat their meat
while watching, knowing that they can never have me, and
(12:46):
that is a sexual gratification for them. Wow, I think
I enjoy doing it because I enjoy it mainly just
for the voyeuristic having somebody watch me be with somebody
(13:07):
who is dominant and that brings me something. I'm into that. Yeah,
that's probably the weirdest one.
