Places I have worked – how did I get into sex work?
Image: Wellington Harbour, where I entered into the sex industry as a ship girl Most people who get into sex work get into it initially for one reason and one reason only – they need money fast. Sometimes lingering under or just above the surface though, is an interest in or fascination with the sex…

The money, honey part 2
Disclaimer: This lovely pile of dosh was not all earned by Amber O’Hara, neither is it indicative of an amount a “typical” sex worker could expect to earn on a daily basis in New Zealand One skill that all working girls could consider getting would be the knowledge of how to keep a cash…

The money, honey part 1
It’s not that hard to go legit as a hooker, so I thought I would share a few things that I have found in case any other working girls who read my blog are interested. The first thing is to remember that we are actually in a pretty fortunate position here in New Zealand,…

Trying out online advertising?
Gif: early sex work images of Amber O’Hara, aged in late 40s, escort Since I have been advertising in the Press, I have been very happy with the lovely clients who have come to see me. My phone does not ring too much, but my advertisement in the local newspaper’s Escorts column has supplied me…

Et tu, Google+?
Amber O’Hara’s now banned Google Plus profile Gosh, it’s as if sex workers don’t have enough to juggle with, without now being overly-censored by the stuffy and the righteous on this vast wasteland of free porn, otherwise known as the Internet. Oh well, Google+, (who are still hoping to become the new Facebook,) which I…

To the men who respond to my newspaper advertisements
my little advert Please don’t think that because I’m advertising in the Press or your free community newspapers, alongside the traditionally lower-priced but sometimes fictional Asian agency ladies, that I am also prepared to offer my services for lesser amounts than I advertise elsewhere. If the truth be told, I would love to see you,…

Is it fun to be a sex worker?
Is it fun to be a sex worker? My answer is yes, yes, yes and sometimes not so much. If you are considering doing it, you are likely to meet lots of men, most of whom you would never come into contact with in daily life. Fascinating, eager to please and very sexy men…

Favourite lingerie – part 4
Channelling the good old-fashioned whore In a previous life, I like to think I would have worked in an old-fashioned bordello, like the lovely one in the film The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. I just love the cheerful attitude toward customer service, and who can fail to adore the gorgeous Dolly Parton who played the…

Favourite lingerie – part 3
Amber O’Hara: trying to give the impression she is innocent by wearing white As is obvious, I’m no virgin, and I’m not really interested in doing the schoolgirl fantasy for anyone or anything like that, but every now and then I get the urge to evoke an idea of purity, which white is good for,…

Favourite lingerie – part 2
MILF feeling wild… The very first corset I bought was this red one. I don’t wear it so much now because it has got a bit “baggy” and has some strange bulges in parts, even when it is on the tightest hook and eye fastening, perhaps because I loved it and wore it so much.…

Favourite lingerie – part 1
One of my favourite pieces of lingerie is my black corset. It is constructed of a satin-like fabric, is boned and has lacing up the back. I normally wear it with lace boy shorts and thigh-high stay-up stockings. I was never really into corsets but now I am obsessed with them. If fitted properly…

Then and Now
Back in the day, before the Prostitution Reform Act happened here in New Zealand, I was a sex worker for a time, and I have to say, things really have changed, and not just legally. Life was different then, in that soliciting was illegal. From what my fellow sex workers and I understood, this meant…

RIP Lou Reed and thank you for my personal sex work anthem
Image: Lou Reed album cover of Transformer, with Goodnight Ladies As a baby hooker back in the day, I listened to Lou Reed every night while I had sex with my clients. It was my first summer as a sex worker, and a fellow private school girl who was saving up for an expensive piece…

Indiscretions
My first week of advertising in the Press has been and gone and I have to say, I have loved every orgasmic and almost orgasmic moment this week. My phone hasn’t rung off the hook, not even with cranks during the school holidays, but that could be because kids are more likely to bother escorts…

Lay back and have some fun
Or get on top and have some fun, whatever the case may be. It’s officially official. I’ve started work as an escort and I’m available now. Introducing … Amber O’Hara, independent escort, Christchurch, New Zealand.

Step Five – twitter and my new BFFs
I am having a lot of fun online. I have discovered the fun of twitter. There is much out there to laugh at and enjoy. I have found the twitter community to be lots of fun, and very welcoming. I don’t know if it’s beneficial to me and my “business” although it seems other working girls…

Step Four – arranging photos
The next step was arranging the photographer. I found an experienced photographer online who came to my premises and took some photos. Although I have already had some test shots taken by friends, the photographer I hired had an amazing camera and lights which has made all the difference. I did not want to pose…

Step Three – room and prices
Photo: Amber O’Hara in her rented accommodation The next thing to get sorted is the accommodation – where will I be working from? Obviously the place needs to be central, private and discrete with plenty of parking. I am very fortunate as I can rent a room at a very discrete and rather luxurious…

Step Two – sorting out ads
I have met a couple of working girls (whose identity will remain secret) through the house where I will be renting a room, and have listened to their feedback about advertising. To start off with (and to keep my independence) I intend advertising in the Christchurch Press’s Escorts’ Column. In my ad, I hope to…

Step One – buying a phone
So before I could do anything, I had to buy a phone. I can’t just sit around fluffing up my hair all day waiting for gentlemen who want my services to find me. Specifically I needed to buy a sim card, as I already have a phone. Because to be an independent escort, you obviously…

Where to from here?
So … I’ve decided to get back into sex work. Apart from a brief spell at Bon Ton in Wellington almost 3 years ago, I have not “worked” since before it was legalised. Back then there was a host of things to worry about, namely arrest and public exposure in the court pages of the…
