I earned £3k a night as a call girl sleeping with politicians, celebs and even vicars – here are their weirdest requests
ROLLING off her latest lover, Elizabeth G lets out a satisfied sigh.
Describing herself as a "very sexual person", nothing pleases her more than a little afternoon delight - and what makes it even more delightful for Elizabeth is that she is paid to do it.
He is just a drop in the ocean of clients, ranging from politicians to celebrities and even clergymen, that Elizabeth has bedded in her career spanning two decades as a call girl.
Earning £100 a minute for her conquests, the retired sex worker says she has lost count of the number of men she has bedded - but she won’t be shamed for it.
“I describe myself as the ‘naked feminist’,” Elizabeth, 41, says.
“It might be controversial to say and a lot of people will disagree but sex work is empowering.

“There's nothing empowering about working in an office, getting paid peanuts and struggling to survive while being sexually harassed. In my job I call the shots.”
While Elizabeth might be the poster girl for sexual freedom, she says she had a sheltered, conservative start in life.
Speaking as part of Life Stories, Fabulous’ series that shares the extraordinary lives of ordinary people, she explains: “I was raised on my family’s farm in Bedfordshire.
“It was quite a secluded upbringing in the countryside and sex wasn’t something that was ever discussed.

“In my teens my only interest was working on my dad’s farm - he instilled a strong work ethic in me from a young age.
"This was around the time I first became interested in boys and my fascination just grew as I got older.”
Elizabeth entered the sex industry as a broke university graduate in business on a gap year in Australia at the age of 22.
“I didn't want to go straight into the corporate world,” she explains.
“I found myself short of funds and about to do a trip up the East Coast, and I needed some finances to do some travelling.
“I came across an opportunity to work in an erotic massage parlour while travelling. I had always been curious about the sex industry and when this opportunity arose, I grabbed it.”
Elizabeth earned £1,600 a week giving naked massages with a “happy ending” at a parlour in Sydney.
“I didn’t provide a full service, which would be intercourse, that wasn’t in the job description” she says.
“Although sometimes if I was attracted to a client, I would have sex with them.
“It wasn't an expectation, I just may have been caught up in the moment.
“It felt so empowering to me, and even more so to have this enormous wad of cash in my hands.”
In 2012 Elizabeth, who was 29, returned to the UK to complete her masters degree in acting and it was then that she began to establish herself as a high-end escort.
“I needed the funds to pay my tuition fees and I decided to upgrade from Erotic Massage to a full-service escort agency,” she says.
Elizabeth worked mainly with agencies who would set up her up with clients and worked her way up from a lower end agency on the outskirts of London to high end boroughs of Mayfair, Kensington and Chelsea.
Elizabeth built up an impressive clientele which would earn her up to £3,000 a day with sex work bringing her in a total of £1 million two decades of working.
But despite her lucrative career, she says she was careful of splashing the cash.
“It’s a very unpredictable industry,” she admits.
“One week you can be earning thousands of pounds and another week it's like tumbleweed.
“I had to learn to really nest away my finances when times were good, because I learnt to understand that there would be a quiet period as well.”
However, at the height of her career, Elizabeth had a six-month waiting list for her services thanks to her growing clientele.
And when it came to clients, there was no set type.
“Anybody and everybody pays for sex,” she says.
“I’ve met with doctors, lawyers, creatives, tradespeople, even priests and vicars have come through my doors - they were particularly lovely clients.
“Some were married, that didn’t really bother me at the end of the day I was providing a service and I think it's wrong to put that onto sex workers and blaming sex workers for somebody else's infidelity.
“If it hadn't been me it would have been somebody else.”
And the requests Elizabeth received were as varied as her client base.
I had some clients wanting to do an auntie and nephew roleplay, that was fairly common

“One occasion that really sticks out in my mind occurred just after Brexit,” she says.
“A client came to me with a blue T-shirt which had Keep Calm and Vote Conservative on it.
“Another wanted me to pretend to be pregnant and that was pretty much the majority of the booking.
“He just kept rubbing my tummy, saying we're going to have a beautiful baby together.”
And role playing was a recurring theme.
“I had some clients wanting to do an auntie and nephew roleplay, that was fairly common,” Elizabeth says.
LAWS AROUND SELLING SEX IN THE UK
Prostitution itself is legal in England and Wales.
However, soliciting in public, kerb crawling, pimping, and owning or managing a brothel are all crimes.
Some MPs want to see brothels decriminalised, because they think the current law could discourage hookers from working together in groups - which is generally safer for them.
In Sweden, for example, buying sex is a criminal act - but selling it is not.
It is not a crime to sell sex in a brothel, unless the worker is involved in the management of the business.
“There was also often a request for me to pretend to be their best friend's girlfriend.”
While Elizabeth was open to some of her stranger requests, she admits that as she got older she set more boundaries.
“I never offered a porn star experience,” she says, “Only a girlfriend experience.
“That's something that's more natural and sensual rather than anything extreme.
“A lot of bookings actually didn't involve having sex, which might surprise a lot of people.
“Many simply wanted to be listened to or held and I suppose what I did became a sort of therapy in that sense.”
Offering the girlfriend experience meant that sometimes the lines were blurred when it came to her relationships with clients.
Elizabeth, who has written a book called Unashamed: Why Do People Pay For Sex?, says that dating clients is the only negative she can recall of her two decades in the industry.
“Dating a client was appealing as I wouldn't need to worry about telling a prospective partner about my job and face abuse or shame,” she says.
“It ended in disaster every single time, because then I'd find they'd go and book somebody else behind my back or it just didn't work.”
Elizabeth has nothing but pride for her job as a sex worker, but she says that not everyone saw her success as something to be proud of.
“I lost friendships over my job for sure,” she says.
“There are going to be people who judge. But I think those people who judge, the shamers, are part of the problem with the dangers of the sex industry.
The only risky encounter I had was with a group of drug dealers who had machetes in their room

“Because they're pushing us into those corners, into those shadows and pretending that we don't exist. Which is where I think a lot of the danger lies.”
Elizabeth says she experienced just one potentially dangerous moment in her 20 years as a call girl.
“The only risky encounter I had was with a group of drug dealers who had machetes in their room,” she recalls.
“They didn’t threaten me and I focused on remaining calm throughout the booking.”
Elizabeth called time on her sex work last year, admitting she felt that her career in the industry had ‘run its course’ and she now works in property development.
She doesn't drink and says that she is looking forward to a ‘quieter’ life.
But while Elizabeth might have left the call girl career behind, she hopes the industry will continue to thrive.
“It’s the oldest profession in the world and it's not going anywhere,” she says.
“As long as there's humans, there will always be sex work, it is an industry that is here to stay.
“It's time that we accept sex workers and understand that actually they are fundamental to society and actually help a lot of people.
"People who are lonely, or struggling with their mental health and often just need someone to talk to.”
The landscape of sex work has changed dramatically in recent years and because of platforms such as OnlyFans, sex workers are able to cater for their clients desires from a distance.
This means there is a higher demand for more ‘extreme’ content online to compete with the growing market.
The stories of creators such as Bonnie Blue and Lily Philips have gained traction after both competed to have sex with as many men as possible in the shortest time.
On Monday, Bonnie, 25, claimed she had broken the world record for having sex with the most men in a day - after "bedding 1,057 in 12 hours".
And Lily Philips, 23, bedded 101 men in just one day - and now is on a mission to follow in Bonnie’s footsteps and have sex with 1,000 people in 24 hours.
For Elizabeth, the stunts have left her feeling 'conflicted.'
"I will always support sex workers," she says.

"Terms such as 'barely legal' make me feel conflicted but as long as everything is consensual and these girls are happy then that's what matters."
Elizabeth is campaigning to amend the Equality Act 2010 to include professions, such as those in the sex indusrty, in protected characteristics. You can sign her petition .
