Wool Town
The earliest recorded settlement in Barnstaple was around 917 A D. The first market was recorded in 1271, and during The Middle Ages Barnstaple relied on being a port to export wool for its prosperity. The town benefited from overseas trade in America in the 16th and 17th centuries and many townhouses sprung up due to the riches of the wealthy merchants. By the 18th century, Barnstaple was no longer a woollen manufacturing town, and due to the river silting up it diversified and by the early 20th century began manufacturing lace, gloves, sail cloth and fishing nets, as well as potteries, tanneries, sawmills, foundries and ship building carrying on from the time before.
By the late 1950s, the urban area grew and incorporated the nearby villages of Pilton, Newport and Roundswell into the fold.
Interesting Facts About Barnstaple
The town supplied 5 ships to fight the Spanish Armada in 1588.
Barnstaple had its own mint (955-1099 A D) It produced halfpennies, pennies and silver coins which are very rare and sought after today.
The Tarka Trail is named after Tarka the otter, a fictional character that lived on the River Torridge.
Some Don't Like It Hot
Lisa, 38, has been an escort for 3 years: “I started escorting after lockdown and because I lost my job- my company went into liquidation- I needed to earn money fast, but because I wasn't in my 20s, I was overlooked by many employers. Out of sheer necessity I decided to escort.” Lisa is currently trying her hand at being a novelist: “I want to write full time and I have published a couple of books on Amazon which have sold well. But it is not enough to stop escorting yet. I'll have to keep doing it for a while. The good thing about escorting is the fact that it's flexible and I can earn a decent wage without having to work lots of hours, so I can do my writing in between.” Lisa is single and only does outcalls, preferring to keep her home as her safe haven. She is one of the few women who I have interviewed that hates the job: “It's not a nice profession. A lot of my clients aren't good looking and their hygiene isn't the best either. It's very hard to be enthusiastic with someone that you find repulsive. I think the worst thing is having to pretend all the time, like you're some sort of nymphomaniac bimbo so that men will book you. It's a load of b******s. You are basically like a car salesman, selling your product, telling them what they want to hear. Deep down they know it's b******t but they get lost in the fantasy. I've become good at putting on an act over the years, but now I'm fed up with faking it. It's becoming exhausting.”
Lisa says she is tired of the constant unsolicited d**k pics she gets sent: “Men just assume that because you're an escort then it gives them the right to treat you poorly and send you x-rated images. They would never treat their girlfriend or wife in this way, but because you're a w***e then you don't matter.”
Lisa is an only child and both of her parents are deceased: “My parents would turn in their graves if they knew what I was doing. I'm very cautious too about who I let into my life. I don't have many friends, in fact I'm a bit of a loner. I also struggle in relationships because sex to me is like work and it feels dirty. I think in this job you get to see the worst side of men, the perverse side, the fact that they have no qualms about cheating on their significant other, and the base ideas they have about getting pleasure from disrespecting a woman. I would never, ever trust a man if I was in a relationship with one.”
Lisa has also suffered a lot with depression and has been prescribed tablets to cope: “I know I'm going to have to make a change. It's affecting my quality of life. A lot of girls do this for the money and switch off, but after this length of time I've found it impossible to not feel anything whilst some stranger is pumping away on top of me. I feel disgusted.”
She has been thinking of applying for a normal job over the past month or so: “It's gotten to the point where I think I'm going to have to juggle my writing career with a normal job. It might be less money and I might have to work more hours but I just want to be happy. No job is worth feeling less than human for.”
To this end, there are no memorable encounters in this blog like I usually do: “I don't want to remember anything about the meets that I do. I go in, zone out as best I can, make them cum, get paid and leave. I try to go somewhere else in my head when I'm in there and my escort persona takes over.”
I wanted to include this interview as not every woman who does this job likes it, in fact we had to keep stopping because Lisa kept getting upset. It's important to see different sides. I just hope that Lisa can put her pain into her writing and use it as a form of self cleansing, and be successful enough so that she can leave escorting behind and find happiness. To you, the client, it's your pleasure but you have no idea what your service provider is going through in their private life, so be respectful and kind always.
