Emery Fields — the first cis male escort featured on the podcast — shares his background and experiences. He talks about his journey from being a professional dancer, involved in teaching, performing, and choreographing, to becoming a full-service provider during the pandemic when the entertainment industry shut down. Emery discusses how his skills and experiences as a dancer translated well into his work as an escort, highlighting the similarities between the two professions, such as flexibility, physical demands, and the gig-based nature of the work.
The conversation explores the dynamics of Emery’s clientele, primarily consisting of men who hire him with another provider or as part of a couple. Emery emphasizes the fluidity of men’s sexuality and the role of female providers in helping clients explore their curiosities. He reflects on the importance of creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their desires and how this has led to positive and transformative experiences for many of them.
Jessie and Emery also discuss the challenges and joys of managing personal and professional relationships while working in the sex industry. They touch on the concept of polysaturation and how their work satisfies certain emotional and sexual needs, reducing the desire to seek additional partners outside of work.
