Middle class rebel tells how she shamed family
IN her private convent school uniform sweet-faced Rebecca Dakin looks every inch the perfect middle-class girl with a respectable future ahead.
But despite being given every chance by her strict but loving parents, rebel Rebecca DELIBERATELY embarked on a sleazy life of vice - just to shock them.
By 23 she was writhing naked in a sordid Belgian peepshow. It was then just a short seedy step to selling her body to strangers as a £700-a-night hooker.
Today Rebecca, who you can see on video below, says: "When I decided to become an escort I wasn't about to hide it from my family. I just wanted to know how far I could push them.
Rebecca Dakin: I went from convent girl to hooker
"My mum simply shook her head in disappointment. She despaired of my crazy behaviour. I'm so ashamed now."
Blonde Rebecca, now 33, reveals the shocking details of her life as a prostitute in her book The Girlfriend Experience-also the title of Steven Soderbergh's new film about the call girl trade that opens in Britain next week.
The ease with which she slipped into peddling sex will shock many parents. And her story is a warning to other girls tempted by the lure of cash and apparent luxury lifestyle.
MIDDLE CLASS: Rebecca Dakin
Insisting she is now OFF the game for good, Rebecca says: "Escorting becomes a way of life. It's all I've known. I haven't had a 'proper' job for 10 years."
The eldest of four children from a nice family in rural Derbyshire, Rebecca enjoyed an upbringing many would envy. As the daughter of a merchant navy officer and a teacher, she got a private education and spent summers on her granny's farm.
But then she became a teenager and the cosy life was no longer enough. She craved attention-and sex. "I was a handful for my parents," says Rebecca. "I remember being very sexually aware from an early age.
"But I was insecure about my looks. I thought no boys ever fancied me. I constantly told my mum I hated myself and was ugly. I was always looking for reassurance."
Losing her virginity at 15, she started sleeping with older men and at 16 was dating a 35-year-old. "I thought that if people wanted to have sex with me it meant I was attractive," says Rebecca.
But she reacted badly to being dumped and vowed from then on to use her sexuality to her own benefit.
"I got a buzz out of being this sexual woman that intrigued men," she adds. "I loved to perform and entertain men. After so much negativity from the opposite sex, I made the most of it."
University
At 16 she was on an art course at Derby University which led to design studies in Wales. "Living away from home for the first time after a strict upbringing was like a dream come true," she recalls.
"Within the first week I'd invited the whole college to a kinky pyjama party. About 30 showed up, and we all ended up licking Angel Delight off each other!
"My exhibitionist side was in full swing and I'd try to shock fellow students. Still promiscuous, I slept around with various surfer types."
Rebecca signed up for a fashion degree in Yorkshire but got hooked on partying, dropped out after a year and returned home to a job in a travel agency. But she still craved excitement and dreamed of becoming a lap-dancer.
VICE: Rebecca in Monaco
She paid for a boob job and was offered a job as an "exotic dancer" in Antwerp, Belgium. Before leaving she holidayed in America with a pal and there got her first glimpse of the sex trade.
"Eating on my own one evening I was approached by a doctor who asked if he could buy me dinner," she says.
"He was large, in his fifties, with a friendly, open face. 'Why not?' I thought. We dined and chatted, and I told him I was going to Belgium to work as a dancer. He then asked me if he could pay for my services.
"He wanted to take me back to his hotel and perform a sex act on my naked body! A rather unusual request, I thought, as I munched my way through a chicken Caesar salad, but at least he didn't want sex.
"It didn't take me long to decide. He was offering me the equivalent of a week's wages in the travel agent's. So I agreed, and he paid me $200.
"I was at his hotel for about 15 minutes. I didn't even touch or kiss him. The cash went towards my hotel bill. It seemed so easy!"
Shortly afterwards Rebecca and a pal, Anna, headed to Antwerp. "My family weren't happy about it but there wasn't a lot they could do," she says.
At a scruffy, dimly-lit club in the red-light district it turned out their job was to wriggle around on a revolving bed in a peepshow, while men paid to watch from behind screens, often pleasuring themselves. Rebecca says: "It's strange to hear all the coins dropping through slots in the surrounding booths, then to see the screens coming up, revealing the little faces behind them."
It would have terrrified most young women, But Rebecca confessed the leering faces of perverts turned her on.
"At first I felt a bit self-conscious," she admits. "But I soon became accustomed to it and enjoyed the attention.
"Being in the sex trade day in, day out, made me extremely horny most of the time. My confidence grew and I was no longer insecure about my looks."
When Rebecca returned to the UK an advert for escorts caught her attention.
"I decided to give it a go, I'd nothing to lose," she recalls. "I knew I wouldn't go for the cheap market. After some advice I set my rates at £250 for an hour and £700 all night. Sleeping with strangers was nothing new to me because of my promiscuous younger days, so it really wasn't a big deal."
Despite their crushing disappointment, her parents' practical response to her new career will shock many.
Rebecca reveals: "Dad's advice was to contact the Inland Revenue and register as a self-employed escort, pay National Insurance and get myself an accountant. I think it was just his way of dealing with it. He didn't know what to do with me."
Just weeks after advertising on the internet she landed her first client, ironically an accountant in his forties.
They met at his house before going out for dinner. Back at his home, they played a kinky game of striptease then down to business.
Rebecca says: "We spent an hour or so undressing and caressing. I was a bit of a show-off. I wanted to be his ultimate fantasy. So, I writhed on the bed and teased him, looking up at him in a coy but suggestive way. I then let his hands wander over my body and squeezed my boobs together."
SO CUTE: As a youngster
After another sex session in the morning before breakfast, the man paid her the £700 in twenties.
"I couldn't believe it!" she says. "I'd never held so much money in my hand before.
"I was beginning to feel this job was my ticket to getting rich and living the lifestyle I'd dreamed about-one of those glamorous women in designer clothes, with perfect nails and hair, designer handbags and shoes, breezing in and out of posh hotels with slick businessmen taking me all over the world."
And the work did take her around the globe-a luxury yacht in Majorca, often the Monaco Grand Prix.
But the reality was she had to endure stomach-churning sex sessions with disgusting, often much older men.
Often she bedded married men who gloated how they were cheating on their wives. And there was always the element of danger.
INNOCENT: Rebecca in her convent school outfit
To protect herself Rebecca took up Japanese martial art Aikido. But one time she felt genuinely in fear of her life was naked in bed, in the arms of a French client in his fifties who coldly told her he'd KILLED his friends.
"My heart lurched into my stomach," says Rebecca. "I jumped off the bed and told him to leave. He insisted he was only joking but I had a bad feeling and panicked. I spent the next 30 minutes shaking and sobbing."
And Rebecca admits she put herself at risk with unsafe sex, adding: "When I first started out I was careless and slept with two guys without condoms.
"We just got lost in the moment. But a scare over catching something brought me back to reality and I've always used condoms since."
Incredibly, although Rebecca cofesses she loves sex she insists: "I'm not easy. I don't sleep around outside my work. In the last seven years I've had three long-term boyfriends and six one-night stands, that's all."
LOVE: Rebecca enjoyed loving family
Vowing she has quit the sex trade for good-squeezed out by cut-price girls from Eastern Europe-Rebecca now longs to settle down and start a family.
"I can't wait to be a mum and a wife and spend the rest of my life with one person," she says. "I don't get any sort of kick from sleeping with strangers any more."

THE PRICE OF TEEN ANGST: WHAT'S YOUR VIEW?
News of the World Agony Aunt Jane Butterworth writes: "YOUNG impressionable women might think the sex industry an easy way to big money, but the picture Rebecca paints is far from pretty.
She might have worked the top end but thousands end up exploited by ruthless pimps, hawking £20 quickies round red-light districts.
Most teenagers go through a rebellious stage. Thankfully most get through it with no harm done.
Rebecca became a hooker because she was looking for love and attention, but soon discovered it was a lifestyle that's hard to quit.
I hope she soon finds the real happiness she's been looking for."

I've never met you Rebbeca but have certainly spoken to you on the forums over the years. Well done girl, I hope your book does well and all the best for the future.
For those that are putting cruel nasty comments I say get a life because you know nothing. Its very very easy to get £700+ a night in this business and remember what is attractive to one isn't always attractive to another.
By Hannah.. Posted June 30 2009 at 10:02 AM.
I know rebecca personally. i also was an independant escort and this is how we met. I have now left the industry too.
she is a lovley person, and very attractive. I persoanlly think at £700 per night she under rates herself. she is worth far more.
am so looking forward to your book. and well done. am very proud to know such a wonderful person.

It appears to me most of the vile individuals that have posted above are just plain jealous or very inadequate, not able to go out and do anything constructive themselves so they snipe at others, it’s all they are able to do ... so sad
I actually know this girl as a friend, not a client.
She is a lovely intelligent warm person and has that X-factor wow about her that very few girls do have. As for looks it’s a very subjective thing, when she has been walking down the street the guys always turn to have another look.
I only logged on to read the story and if this is the level of degenerate drivel one expects on this forum it will probably be the last..
There is one thing though that says it all, she is the one the story is about, not the saddo in the sidelines, so why take your frustrations of lack of personal success out on someone who has lived life to the full, rightly or wrongly.
What the future holds for this girl only time will tell ... if I know her she is going to be the one laughing longest ;o)

"I'm not easy. I don't sleep around outside my work. In the last seven years I've had three long-term boyfriends and six one-night stands, that's all."
that's all?? that sounds pretty like she is pretty easy to me!
By The Miz.. Posted June 20 2009 at 11:11 PM.
the fact that all started because of her insecurity in looks tells something. There may be more girls out there going through similar routine. Insecure about looks > sex as way to get attention > more sex > why not get paid! > trade!
Long live pop-culture!

Escort? Who it's so crazy to pay for this ugly girl?
By Nandro.. Posted June 18 2009 at 12:53 PM.
Well some of these comments are fairly predictable.
I'm sure those who have commented negatively are all stunningly gorgeous and pure as the driven snow.
Yeah right...
By Amanda.. Posted June 18 2009 at 9:14 AM.
How rude !!!! some of the comments above are...:(
this lady has not hidden the fact of what she did as her chosen carreer...
Hats of to her...
And she has now chosen to settle down and have a family... I wish her all the best in the world... and will certainly buy her book..

Second part of my comment:-
Then there are the men who are just simply lonely and sex may not even be a part of it at all. They just want to go out for a dinner with an intelligent, lively, attractive lady, but no strings or commitment. An escort once again people is the best answer. They can sample the delights of ALL that a female offers without any hassle afterwards, just beautiful memories and a big smile on their face.
For those that posted 'what a pig', 'she would have to pay me' etc. Is beauty not in the eye of the beholder?? We ALL have different tastes, likes, dislikes, etc. So there are obviously a whole variety of men that would see the lady above as their ideal. The same as their are others who she would maybe not be their preference. So what? There are plenty of other lovely ladies who are escorts to pick from.
Basically, you can't knock it 'til you have tried it or been in that position yourself. Or is it just simply that you are jealous?? In this day and age too, there are many men who would consider a relationship with an escort or retired escort. Even getting married to them too. So long as the lady is upfront and honest from the start what is the problem? None that I can see! Live and let live, have any of the posters before heard this phrase? I think not.
Open your mind, get a life or maybe both! ;0)
By Lady G.. Posted June 16 2009 at 8:56 PM.
My post is too long so I have put it in two parts!(1)
What a lot of narrow minded prats that have commented below! None of you can even comprehend the lifestyle of a high end escort, let alone a street girl! Or even how the men feel(Or situation they are in) that take the opportunity of hiring an escort for an hour or two, or even a night or weekend.
I presume then that all then men that have commented below are in loving honest 24/7 sex filled marriages then hey?!
Good for you if you are, but there are those that are not and obviously need there sexual needs attended to without committing to an affair. As an affair would most possibly ruin their marriage which they don't want to happen. It is just that the sex is not there in the marriage but everything else is. So the best answer is to use a no strings attached escort to quench their sexual needs & desires. It is just a business transaction with fun involved after all.
Also those that are not married may feel it totally daunting to go to singles clubs, dating web sites or a night club. So what do they do? Best easy option an escort. What if they CAN pull and are not daunted by night clubs etc, but don't want a commitment and untold texts and phone calls from the lady they met at the club professing love etc? Once again an escort is probably the best answer. No strings once again.
By Lady G.. Posted June 16 2009 at 8:56 PM.
All that money spent on a private education and the best job she can get at the end of it is being a prostitute, Makes me wonder if private education is really worth all the money that is paid out. It seems as if a lot of privately educated young ladies end up working as prostitutes. Where do the Nuns go wrong?
By Lorna Wanstall.. Posted June 16 2009 at 12:12 PM.
The things people do for money eh ? A pretty, eloquent and dynamic lady. All I can say is sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do and hopefully she will have an enlightening and rewarding new life (being herself).
By Marv.. Posted June 16 2009 at 2:56 AM.
Wow how cruel and sad some people are, your spiteful comments disgust me.

all the best for the future brave girl love annaxxxx
By anna .. Posted June 15 2009 at 2:06 PM.
Man, this girl is simply ugly. Plus basic schooling, no wonder now she sells the story of her life to make some money. I bet in some years she will come with other stories when she will run out of the cash. Get a life, girl. A discreet one!

Rebecca .. If you do come accross this comment board .. ignore some of the smaller minded comments..Good luck with the book can't wait to get my hands on a copy :) sounds refreshing - honest book on the once tabo industry
By Kiara.. Posted June 14 2009 at 11:37 PM.
If a woman wants to sell her body (or hire it out for a short period) and a man wants to buy it then where is the problem? I know that promiscuity leads to STDs but any escort worth their salt wouldn't have sex without protection.
By the way in answer to the comment about "what man would want this woman as a wife after she has slept with 1000's of men", then please can I join the queue. She is way more attractive than any of the munters I've been out with.
By robbie.. Posted June 14 2009 at 8:54 PM.
First of all You've NEVER been ugly, you're a lovely and pretty girl and the most important thing is that at least this time you finished welll...because mostly don't, I mean they lose themselves into drugs and awful promiscuity and STDs, I'm glad for you and I hope you'll choose a nice pal this time.
By Tino Brazil.. Posted June 14 2009 at 6:47 PM.
Not surprising that the most vicious comments are from other women. Women seem to think sex is some sort of sacred experience. It can be, but it can also be just harmless pleasure.
By Mark.. Posted June 14 2009 at 6:26 PM.
I think the £700 is wishful thinking.

Yuck - now there's a face for radio if ever I saw one!
By Steve.. Posted June 14 2009 at 5:23 PM.
I think she is an exceptionally beautiful and open and honest woman, if she wants to live her life in this way then fair play to her, it's a fabulous life and she has nothing to hide or be ashamed about! people should be a little less judge-mental and a bit more compassionate.
By VIKKI.. Posted June 14 2009 at 3:02 PM.
how some people coud be so insulting to this woman, many people sleep with people for nothing, fair play that she made a living out of it, dont consider her beneath you because people have sleep with people and not even known their last name. fair play to her and hope she does find hapiness.
By vikky.. Posted June 14 2009 at 1:50 PM.
well gotta say every women is a money grabber but this way of selling yourself is cheap. how can you do this and then expect to settle down shocking. i do feel sorry for you but would you settle down with a male escort if you were not one yourself previously. best of luck to the dude who will he has to be insane or a priest
By zain.. Posted June 14 2009 at 12:55 PM.
It is pretty obvious that none of your contributors so far have any idea about the sex tade.
Neither she nor her clients are sad, stupid, pathetic or pigs. The business thrives on supply and demand, and believe it or not, there are street girls, massage parlours, escorts and 700 quid a night call girls very close to your home, with your (or somebody's) friends, husbands, uncles, fathers or grandfathers paying for the service.
I think this is very much teh norm and I think many of you should wake up to it and stop critiscising.
By Greg.. Posted June 14 2009 at 1:12 PM.
There's someone for everyone they say and why not, there's a lot of people in the world! Good luck Rebecca, I wish you well.
By mrsmac.. Posted June 14 2009 at 10:31 AM.
OH MY GOD 700 quid a night?? She would have to pay ME with a face like that, sorry but are you kidding me?
And who the hell is she anyway, why does ANYONE care apart from this self-absorbed pointless book she has written?
Sad, stupid, pathetic woman.
By Chris Froughton.. Posted June 14 2009 at 9:55 AM.
What a horrible lot of comments, i think she's got every chance of finding a man and settling down - providing she is completly honest and the man isn't a shallow pig but someone understanding. The whole reason she got into this in the first place is because she felt unattractive (no doubt due to mindless stupid comments like on here) and men wanting to sleep with her made her feel like she was attractive.
I wish Rebecca lots of luck in her future.
By Emma.. Posted June 14 2009 at 9:12 AM.
There must be some desperate men out there. Silly old fools.
By Carol.. Posted June 14 2009 at 8:43 AM.
This "one person " she hopes to meet and spend the rest of her life with,will have to be either pretty broad minded or very desperate.You can't air brush your past away and expect any bloke to settle down with you given your past.
By Mike.. Posted June 14 2009 at 7:48 AM.
Who would pay money for her??? She looks like a reflection in a circus mirror! The pug on that!
By stevo.. Posted June 14 2009 at 3:50 AM.
She wants to settle down now and have a family - fair enough but what bloke wants to have a wife that has slept with a couple of thousand other men?
By Sid.. Posted June 14 2009 at 3:48 AM.
I know a chap who uses escorts on a regular basis. He is married aged 44 but love the thrill of meeting girls half is age.
I feel sorry for his wife and kids.
By Julie .. Posted June 14 2009 at 3:46 AM.
She is a real pig! Instead of wasting that money on a new pair of breasts she should have had her nose done! Anyone that pays that £700 a night is very desperate and sad. Get a life.
