A woman has gotten people talking with her rather stunning decision after leaving her career as a lawyer to become a prostitute.
Claudia de Marchi
A Brazilian feminist has packed in her career as a high-flying lawyer to become a prostitute, Metro UK reports.
Claudia de Marchi, 34, says she not only earns more money in her new profession but has a higher job satisfaction.
The former attorney quit her job as an expert in constitutional law last year, instead moving to capital Brasilia, where she charges men £150 an hour for s*xual services.
She says one of the major reasons behind her career swap, was the ‘masculine selfishness’ of her previous line of work.
Instead, she explains making money from her body is a form of liberation, and she has started a blog to help other women ‘demand the best for themselves, both in and out of bed’.
‘I believe that feminism is a liberation, not an obligation. It is being able to do, exclusively, what you desire. That’s what I did, I made a decision thinking in my pleasure and in my sustenance,’ she told the Mail Online.
‘In a extremely rational way, there is no contradiction between you offering sexual pleasure to a man, and being a feminist.
‘I want woman to unite and truly value themselves, instead of attacking each other, because when women spend their time fighting with each other, that is also a form of chauvinism.’
But the 34-year-old, who charges £650 a night, does not refer to herself as a prostitute, explaining she will not do ‘everything for money’.
She says she only has s*x with educated men and turns down clients with bad grammar or who don’t agree with her political views. She also only accepts clients for a second time, if they pleased her previously.
Instead of using a pseudonym to protect her identity, the former lawyer uses her own name insisting she is proud of what she has achieved.
Her mother is also extremely supportive of her new profession, and suggested the profession to her after watching a TV programme on luxury escorts.
‘I also adore s*x. I wouldn’t be in this profession if I didn’t like it. So, I found a way to make money doing something that I like, marketting my sexual talent and my libido,’ she added.
‘Both in my marriage and my relationships, the sex was always what was most special, so I decided to leave the cake and just have the cherry on the top.’
