I’d like to mark an occassion myself.
Back in 2004 myself and SJ up a website called SAAFE - Support And Advice For Escorts.
When I was a moderator on a punting forum back in the day, I used to keep getting emails from newbie ladies asking for advice on becoming an escort. I had a chat with SJ about it one day as it became tedious writing the same answers as the questions were always the same. It was then that the idea of a support website came to fruition. It did start off as a collaboration between a few different escorts, but they all fell by the wayside and myself and SJ were left. We’re no longer involved in the running of the website, SJ left a couple of years ago and I finally handed over the reigns last December, to cut back on my involvement in the industry. As per our ethos, the site was made and is run solely by female escorts.
Anyway, long story short, it celebrated its 5th birthday last October and SAAFE has now been recognised by my fellows peers in the adult industry. It is now up for a Best Website Award, to be presented at The Erotic Awards. We were nominated back in January and I have recently been informed that we are now finalists in our category.
I know you gents would never have heard of it, I wouldn’t expect you to. As I say, The Erotic Awards are in recognition of outstanding work, or outstanding people, in the adult industry.
There’s going to be a big ball and an awards ceremony and everything, called Night of The Senses . It’s been going for over 20yrs now. I personally won’t be attending but the ladies I left in charge of the running of SAAFE will be. My fingers will be crossed on the evening and they’ll have to keep in touch with me. If we do win, we walk away with a flying penis. You heard me, a flying penis.
Whilst it would be fantastic if we won, it really has been wonderful to have just been recognised after all of mine and SJ’s hard work in this industry throughout the years. SAAFE has become an important resource for escorts and many of my fellow escorts recommend it to others. Indeed, the content of the site has been nicked on a couple of occassions. In one instance, large chunks lifted and put onto somebody else’s website, with no accreditation back to SAAFE itself. In another, again, large chunks of our columns lifted and used to increase another website’s SEO – search engine optimisation. It’s highly ranked on Google and, if I do say so myself, the best resource out there for newbie escorts. If we do win it’ll be the cherry on the cake.
Wish us luck.x
As we celebrate International Women’s Day today…

Thank you for your best wishes Avi. Yes, the site is very important to both myself and SJ. We consider it our baby.
The ball isn’t until the end of next month, I’ll keep everybody updated.x
