Am I really selling my soul to the devil?

I don't see why i should be asking myself that.

[greep]

Sorry, I watch too much DR. Phil.

[Meagan Nutwood]

Clearly.

You'll do well either way, girl!

I would love to be able to offer Yokomi a slick, ?Here is what you should do for yourself? scenario, but though I spent many years assisting teens with their life choices as a counsellor, I find this situation is so unique that I?m sure it would defy any outsider?s attempt to offer her ?the solution?. No one person here has the insight and the wisdom to be able to tell her what to do.

In her favour, Yokomi appears to be a most insightful and ambitious young lady and it is she, and she alone, who must now make the tortuous decision facing her. It seems that she is fully aware of the obstacles facing her and so now she seeks the comfort and support of friends to aid her in that difficult task. Looking back, asking ?What if only I had - - ?? is of no help now. She has wisely accepted that the situation presenting itself today, is that which she must deal with in heading forward.

In general, it seems that most respondents to her questions here are very supportive of her efforts and have offered her this same advise, albeit in different words. Which ever choice she makes, I am sure she will expend the effort required to make it a success! I for one wish her well in her quest!

This is perfect Toban! Thank you so much!

As a lad that is a true fan of The Golden Age Porn (1970 - 1985) one of my favorite actors from that ERA Wade Nichols (a.k.a. Dennis Parker) had three careers going at once pornstar,signer and soap star.Now porn back then wasn't as mainstream as it is today.If you did porn back then you pretty just shot yourself in the foot as far as a Hollywood career goes.Now Wade Nichols had a disco album in 1979 called Like An Eagle On Casablanca Records the same label that had recording artist Donna Summer.Also he had the role of Detective Derick Mallory on the daytime Soap Opera Edge Of Night.As his career in the Adult Entertainment Industry he was referred to as straight for pay he was gay.For a guy that was suppose to be gay he sure could lay the pipe on the lasses just watch his performance in Golden Age Classics Barbara Broadcast,Jailbait,Take Off etc...
Now a bit of trivia for you Jody Watley has a sister that was in the Adult Film Industry a gorgeous black by the of Midori.For the record Jody Watley was a recording artist before Midori was porn.
Porn/escouting can be a hinderance a road block now if you stick your priciples and have talent I truly believe you can make a name for yourself.
Another one that comes to mind during the Golden Age Of Porn is Andrea True who had a hit single called More More More.

You need to consider in your decision process, how your past can and will effect your future. When you throw yourself into the public arena anything is fair game and you can be sure your escorting days are going to become public info at some point (TMZ ?). Now that isn't saying it will hold you back or destroy you but the potential is there.

If you were to go into a career that is not public based, for example nursing then the potential of your past screwing your future is lessened. Lets face it Transsexuals have come a long way but are far from mainstream society yet. But you never know with youth these days, they have a different morality belief system and may be more forgiving than previous generations.

Life is a crap shoot at best. What you do with yourself is a really a personal thing. I respect your throwing it out here and letting people give some feedback. That is certainly a good start in the right direction. I look at your avatar and picture and I can see you got potential cause look what you did to be a tranny, you look beautiful so you can when you want to be successful.

Looking back on my life and what I have done with it, although I have no regrets God if I could go back and do it all over again the things I would change and want to do for myself. Your young, you have a full life ahead of you and good for you to be looking at your future. Life is what you make it, so give it your best. IF you want to do something, do it, don't hold yourself back and never look back. because you will succeed if you apply yourself as you did being a tranny.

I think you should really look at things long term to be honest. Try and get as much schooling as you can. Have a job on the side for experience. Dont let escorting be a life long goal. There will be a point when it will seem that it isnt exactly what you expected it to be. You do not want to be stuck with nothing to fall back on if you change your mind.

[Dirty Old Man]

Hi gorgeous.

When we're young we tend to think time is on our side. Plenty of it available to fulfill all of our dreams and aspirations. But make sure of one thing. When you get older, you should have no regrets in life.

[Tia Phoenixx]

tough decision Yokomi.

I think you have definitely a potential.

Do you know Aamiyah?
Bright, young, creative, ambitious, beautiful and big ()

She reminds me of you, and she has made her name both in escorting and porn industry. too bad that she does not pursue it to the next level.


However, as Ana has mentioned, never think that this will be a forever career for us.

Even though, if we are really successful, the money is actually excellent and pretty substantial, thus enabling you to open up a new business or something like that.

Good luck

Asking how escorting will impact your music career is a small thing. What you should be asking is how is escorting effecting my personal self respect?

or the other way around: if you see from the financial opportunity, you may ask:
if she earns great income, do you think she should anyway sacrifice her personal self respect for a while, and start building a new life in a couple of years once she has enough savings?

It's a life time opportunity you know...
You can get this income only if you are beautiful, young and sexy and "talented"

I really like Ana's(Clone 0101) advice.
