Word! All true! In theory!

The swedish reality of course is a cynical joke. prostitution in sweden is prohibited thus does not exit, thus a sex worker needs -- in the best case -- only pyschological counseling.

in the worst case she gets coercive psychiatry with pills.

"1:3) Why are you not available in Malmö or southern Sweden?

Malmö and southern Sweden provide bad conditions for me. One problem is that there is such a scarcity of escort girls in the region of Malmö, that I risk getting the wrong kinds of bookings here. Individuals not being able to afford me, but still booking me, in the hope of being able to bargain my rates then I show up (I have been into some threatening situations in Malmö, with men that neither wanted to pay, nor allow me to leave again).

In case these persons would have been in Copenhagen, they would will all likelihood have hired a cheaper escort than me from the start on. But if they are in Malmö, either at home due to comfort, or in a hotel room paid for them there by their company, I risk them to book me, despite that they aren’t the right kind of clients for me.

Copenhagen is then a more secure market for me, the huge amount of escort girls, on all price levels, makes my slim niche upscale escorting natural. The clients booking me in Copenhagen tend to all be in agreement with my way of working, and appreciate it."

my personal perspective: swedish-courtesan.com is not lying, the daily reality as i know it from sweden is even more full of cynical jokes
