Amanda Goff: High-class escort Samantha X reveals clients treated her better than men she dates

One of Australia’s most famous sex workers has revealed that she has had worse experiences with men in her personal life than when she worked as an upper-class escort.

Amanda Goff, 49, said she has suffered more trauma using her real name than in the ten years she spent as ‘Samantha X’.

Ms. Goff started working as an escort in her late thirties, but decided to quit the sex industry last year in an attempt to get her life back on track.

She told Daily Mail Australia that the financial and emotional support she received from clients meant it was difficult for her to date as a “normal” woman.

“Like Amanda, I was sexually assaulted multiple times, stalked, stalked, had to get restraining orders, and was emotionally and physically abused,” she said.

‘But like Samantha, she had nothing but polite, respectful and genuine customers. Some of them have become good friends.

Ms. Goff admitted that she was “so out of touch” when it came to navigating the dating world as Amanda because she had enjoyed as much power as Samantha.

‘With a client, there are boundaries set, mutual respect and communication even before you meet. There is no feeling of being used,” she said.

“The men I’ve dated think I’m going to be an experienced, intimate woman who’s overtly sexual.

‘They assume that I am an expert, that I like to swing. But I’m actually nervous.

“I’m actually very traditional and old-fashioned.”

When Ms. Goff worked as an escort, she became comfortable with the “intimacy snapshots” she experienced with her clients.

Now, she worries about being a ghost and striking the right balance between promiscuity and having clear boundaries, just like any other woman.

I miss the connection. Maybe I should hire an escort,’ he joked.

‘Now that we are all connected by technology, we are actually less connected than ever. We treat ourselves like we’re disposable.

Ms Goff said she can understand why women choose to be escorts, but is wary of glitzing the job, which she says has its dangers.

‘To be an escort you have to be mentally strong and have a lot of life experience. This job is not for the faint hearted,” she said.

Before her life as a sex worker, Ms. Goff said she had no limits, was afraid of offending a man or a date, and didn’t know how to say no.

“It’s not a complete sentence, it’s important for the woman to know that,” she said.

She said the dire state of the dating world is also due to men, revealing that many have admitted to her that they “don’t know how to act around women anymore.”

“They don’t want to be accused of sexual harassment, some of them are too scared to look at women these days, they are losing their role in society,” she said.

On Monday night, Ms. Goff invited sex workers to share their experience in the industry with their Instagram followers.

One woman admitted that she felt safer doing FSSW (full service sex work) in a legal brothel than walking home alone at night.

The woman explained that she felt safer in sex work than when she worked in a corporate job where men made advances on her or sent her inappropriate messages.

Ms. Goff agreed that she had more “scary situations” as Amanda than as Samantha X.

“People are uncomfortable with that truth, that it’s somehow comforting to think that sex work is a dangerous and scary sin,” she said.

But the man who will probably kill you is your husband.

For now, Ms. Goff will focus her energy on several upcoming Projectswhich includes tutoring, a forthcoming novel, and an eight-part series based on her life.

‘I don’t know how to be Amanda. I have lost the art of a normal date,” she said.

‘I love men, they are very simple creatures living in a very complicated world. I love being a woman and embracing my femininity, but do it for you, not for men.’
