The porn industry, escorting industry and patronage

HI Susannah,

English is not my first language, some words might be off. I was asked by an old friend in his early 80s to research "what has become of" and if I could find her. He knew her back in the late 90s under her real name. Well, I found her. She worked as a porn actress and escort. She quit the business, went for a short while in a real job. However, nowadays she lives under the patronage, possibly of one of her former clients a possible UHNW individual. For such a self-determined and really independent woman to go down that route, it feels a bit irritating to see her in such a relationship. During my research, I was more shocked honestly not of what became of her, but about the hobbyist networks. The escorts circle back to porn to show that they are available, expand their clientele or show what is on the menu with them. That porn and the adult industry is basically a loss leader for them and just advertisement.

If you are interested in her individual story or my insight in the hobbyist networks, please contact me. Her story is really fasicinating and bold. It is not a story about my neighbour steals cable. It spans two continents, failed business endeavours, entrepreneur spirit and resilence but also hard truths. I will meet the old man that has asked me to find her soon and I still don't know what I will tell him. By the way, he is a Dutch liberal who has his experience with sex workers, I just hope it won't make him sad.

I don't want journalistic credit or financial compensation. Just someone to share my research with.

Kind Regards
