A former escort who charged $1,500 an hour has said the job is ‘easy’.

Amanda Goff was perhaps one of the best-known sex workers in Australia. Having operated under the pseudonym Samantha X, she made regular TV appearances, is the author of two best-selling books and launched her own escort agency.

For a period of eight years, Goff lived the high life, having been regarded as top of her field in the sex industry – and earning a paycheck reflective of this.

The former escort requested $1,500 per hour for her grind, but this went up to $2,000 towards the end of her career in the industry.

But Goff has now admitted that the work wasn’t that difficult.

In an interview on Mamamia’s No Filter podcast, the author recalled the moment she laid eyes on ‘glamorous women’ in the south of France stepping into supercars with rich men, finding their lifestyle and career in escorting ‘exotic’.

When Goff was in her mid 30s, she paved her way into the paid sex industry during her first encounter with a client in a penthouse in Sydney, Australia. 

She told presenter Mia Freedman of her first experience: "I remember thinking 'Oh is this it? This is so easy.' It was a bit of an anti-climax. I'd always been intrigued about that world [the escort realm].”

However, she did soon realise that while the job was ‘easy’, it entailed more than what was to ensue between the sheets.

She admitted: "I realised this man wasn't just here for sex. I think men go into it thinking they want sex and that's what it's about, but in fact, I got his whole life story and we talked about everything. It was almost like he didn't want to go because he wanted to keep talking."

At the time of her first sexual encounter, she was a single mum who recently parted ways with her husband with an already-established career in the media. 

But Goff decided to take the plunge into escorting, soon becoming a ‘safe space’ for her clients to open up about their innermost feelings.

"I often would say 'it would be a lot cheaper to see a counsellor than me',” she quipped. “But they would say 'why would I go and see a counsellor because I would feel judged?' I think for men, they see a sex worker as a safe space – I don't know why. 

“The only thing I can think of is when we're naked, everyone's vulnerable."

As for why she's giving up the lucrative profession, she said: "When I hear people talk about sex I wince! I don't want to shave my legs anymore. Well, I will. But I'm just sick of it.

"I am so tired of, of having to be... not sexual, but sexy. I just want to be me. I just can't wait to let it all go. I'm so excited to just be Amanda."
