When Jasmine Goes M.I.A

Rest, Recharge, and Returning to Work

Every so often, I take a little sabbatical from work. Sometimes a fortnight, sometimes a little longer. The other day, one of my long-term regular clients pointed out a curious pattern…

Mr K: What date will you be returning from your break, Jasmine?

Jasmine: I'll be back at work on Thursday the 29th. Would you like to make a booking for then, babe?

Mr K: [Deliberates for a few moments.] Umm no, I think I'll make it for exactly four days after the 29th... just to be safe.

Jasmine: What do you mean "just to be safe"? Why?

Mr K: Well, for the two years that I've known you, I've always tried to see you on the day that you return from your break. And every single time, without fail, you postpone it. You never come back to work when you plan to... which is totally fine. I don't mind at all. But I just thought I might as well pre-empt it this time.

How mortifying! But Mr K was right. And I was shocked, and a little appalled, at my own unreliability. I pride myself on being a “career escort,” not some flaky unprofessional girl just dabbling in sex work. It was a sobering realisation. Clearly, it was time to pull my socks up!

Looking back, I can recognise the pattern easily now. I always delay my return by at least 48 hours. I reschedule advanced bookings, neglect new messages and emails, and suddenly no one can reach me. Regular clients assume the worst; that I’ve disappeared from the industry entirely, joining the endless revolving door of escorts who vanish without warning.

But I would never exit stage-left without saying goodbye. It’s just that I’m not always ready to return on schedule. When I take time off, the “Jasmine” in me slips into the background. I enjoy my break like a nun: no sex, no masturbation, nothing even remotely naughty. Only G-rated fun.

It’s not that I get tired of sex, or that I forget about my clients (that would never happen). It's just that this work is emotionally and physically demanding, and to prevent burnout, we all need a little space sometimes. I’m not talking about a four-day weekend like when you work a "normal job." Us escorts often need a little bit more than that. Please don’t get me wrong, I love my work, I truly do. But sometimes I just need a good solid week, where nobody wants anything from me. Where I don’t have to turn it on and be sexy. A week where I can sit in my PJs, hair in a bird’s nest, watching cartoons, and just be… me.

I want to dispel a common myth though: that sex with many partners somehow takes a piece of a woman away. “Aren’t you scared that if you keep giving parts of yourself away, one day there’ll be nothing left?” No, not at all. Sex work challenges me, excites me, and invigorates me. It adds to my life rather than depleting it. I occasionally need a break because I’m human, not because my soul has been leeched away.

Let’s be honest: how often have you gone on holiday and thought, “I’d give my left testicle for one more day off.” Well, I’m my own boss, so I can indulge in that extra day… or two… or three… or even ten (though I probably shouldn’t). I know it’s wrong to shirk responsibilities, and I apologise to anyone I’ve had to reschedule, but sometimes my sanity demands it.

Here’s the strange part… A peculiar thing happens when I return to work after a break. Regardless of whether I’ve been gone for a week or a month, it’s always the same cycle. I leave feeling like I’ve just hit my stride as a bona fide, top-notch, in-full-control escort. I’m confident, carefree and killing it! I’m juggling everything with ease: new clients, regular clients, admin duties, advertising and marketing, bookkeeping, blog-writing. I can do no wrong! But then when I come back… I feel like a complete amateur. What happened to that experienced, poised and polished escort that used to work here? And who is this nervous, clumsy girl that’s inhabited Jasmine’s body?

But thank heavens for small mercies. There’s an upside to feeling like a novice again. It’s almost like... like… a virgin. Touched for the very first time? Ha ha, no but seriously. Even if it’s only been a week of celibacy, I feel every touch with more clarity. I’m hornier, wetter, hungrier. The kisses feel more passionate. I care more about my work and the service I provide. I’m more patient and engaged. My desire to blow your mind is stronger than ever. And I cum harder and faster. It’s like every sensation is new again and the thrill of selling sex is as captivating as it was on my very first day in the industry. So you see, a break can be a good thing!

For the first week after I get back, I’m usually quite selective about who I will see. I reserve those spots for my favourite regulars. The ones who I feel most comfortable with and who I don't have to try so hard for. I rarely risk taking on a new client in those first few days while I’m finding my feet again. I want to spend time with the men who respect my limits, who are easy to talk to, who I can relax with and be myself around. The men who don’t even mind if I’m a little off my game, they’re just happy and grateful to be spending time with me. You guys are lifesavers! You make my job easy and make me fall in love with the business all over again. And you gently transform me from a timid little Bambi-on-ice, back into the confident and wildly erotic sex-goddess that I aspire to be.

Anyway, I’m officially back in the saddle now guys. I’m working all the way up until Christmas, and my batteries are recharged and raring to go. Let the games begin!

Love always,

Jasmine x
