The past 12 months with the coronavirus pandemic hasn’t been easy for anyone.
Millions of people will have lost their jobs, homes and even family members due to the outbreak.
One couple faced struggles with their finances after the husband was left unemployed.
Nikki and Mark, names we’re using to protect their identity, had to think about their young children when problems started to occur.
The mum had previously worked in the adult industry for Ennvy.com so escorting wasn’t anything new for her.
But for Mark, this was a whole new experience for him – and one that he’s not regretting it all.
Now speaking to Daily Star, the couple have revealed all about their line of work.
Nikki said: “I had previously worked in the adult industry as an escort and I loved the job and met some life-long friends.
“However, when I had children, I decided that I wanted to focus on being a stay-at-home mum.
“But when coronavirus hit, my husband and I started to really struggle, it seemed like an obvious option for me to become an escort.
“Although, I knew how much money you could make through escorting… my husband suggested escorting himself.
“At first I wasn’t sure, but with social distancing, his dates wouldn’t have involved sex anyway, they were just dinner dates.”
Despite Nikki claiming she’s had sex for money with guys before, she knew there was “nothing more to it” if her husband did.
Mark added: “If it allows me to support my family and it’s safe, then it’s worth doing. We talked about it and Nikki was supportive.”
Before the mum ditched her career and turned to her family, Nikki earned a fortune through her success as an escort.
She detailed: “I used to earn thousands of pounds a month and my husband has been really successful despite sex being off the table.
“Escorting has evolved but it still pays incredibly well, that’s why all everyone is still enjoying successful careers.”
Nikki used to work for Ennvy, the company her husband joined, and there wasn’t many things she wasn’t open to trying.
She admitted: “I was pretty open-minded when I was an escort, the only thing I didn’t want to try was wee or poo fetishes. Ew.”
And with the couple’s line of work, Nikki also claimed it was a secret kept away from their children.
The mum said: “Our children don’t know because they’re simply too young and we haven’t told our extended family.
“We’re very liberal and non-judgemental but we’re not sure our family would be quite as open-minded…”
