WHAT I'VE LEARNT
What I've Learnt - Anna Grosman
Anna Grosman, creator and owner is relaunching a new male escort agency - HER CONFIDANT. In its new incarnation, HER CONFIDANT will also cater to women who are looking for companionship in any form: emotional, sexual or for company on a date. "I want to provide a safe space for women to explore their desires and feel desired," says Anna. "There are no agencies like mine - which provide quality, substance and a safe, secure option. Women want many things which we can provide: to feel passion and to be desired; to feel the human touch; or sometimes, just to be listened to, without it necessarily leading to something physical."
An empty-nester in her early 50s, Anna loves connecting people and networking. She has just
celebrated her 30 year wedding anniversary with her husband, who she met when she was 17. Not all women will use Anna's agency for sex; statistically, around 30 percent are after companionship and dates. But the vetting process remains the same. "Men are chosen because they have a genuine desire for all types of women." Anna is passionate about reducing, and ultimately removing, the stigma that's attached to the sex industry. "There is still so much inequality in terms of sexuality and accessing services for sex. Female sex work is one of the oldest professions in existence, yet male escort work - and women accessing this service - are still very stigmatized. Women are more than ever in control of their lives. They make their own money and can make their own choices of how they want to spend it. It can either be a LV Bag
or a life changing experience. It's their choice." *Providing a space for women to have sex in a safe and non judgemental space is one of the most rewarding aspects of this work. So many women have unfortunately experienced sexual
trauma and this service provides a space for them to feel safe, secure, and sexual." The agency will be specialising in servicing women with a unique selection of male companions from all over the world. Anna likes to call it "Her Selection Box of the Finest Assortment of Chocolates". And of course, there will be the professionalism, discretion, privacy and quality of service as previously.
