“Men in positions of power often see sex as an entitlement, as though it’s a perk of the job,” writes high-class escort Samantha X. “But this sense of invincibility can often lead to higher risk-taking and clouded judgement. That is when mistakes are made.”
Mistakes, she argues in a piece for Rendezview, like that made by Channel 7 boss Tim Worner.
The high-profile CEO and father-of-four’s name was dragged through the headlines on Monday when former employee Amber Harrison went public with details of their affair; a revelation that sent the network’s share market value tumbling $98 million.
“I knew he was married. It was never about love,” 35-year-old Harrison said in a statement. “It was about sex and power. He likes having a bit on the side.”
So how then can all of this be avoided? According to Samantha X, by using a sex worker.
“Yes, Mr Worner’s been a naughty boy. He is not the first man to taste the honey where he makes the money… and he won’t be the last. That’s the allure of power,” she writes.
“But there is one thing that is crystal clear from this affair. Criticise sex workers all you want — we’ve heard it all before — but one thing we are not and that is home wreckers.”
Harrison claims she was paid $150,00 at the time to keep silent but was forced to blow the lid when recent negotiations for a new settlement collapsed. Samantha X, who now runs her own escort agency, notes there would be no such trouble for her clients.

Not everyone likes to have sex with a prostitute. It is degrading.
Or, maybe they could not cheat to start with? If you don't respect your partner enough to remain faithful, do them a favour and leave. Cheating with a sex worker isn't that different from cheating with a coworker.
Ally, cheating is cheating, you're right about that, it's not good. But if a guy just wants to get what he isn't getting and goes to a sex worker I think that's different to starting an affair and I would say much more symptomatic of much deeper problems in the relationship. Also it's much more dangerous because a guy isn't really interested in the sex worker beyond anything but sex and that's mutual. But an affair is not only cheating sexually, it's cheating emotionally.
Again, a guy having sex with anyone but their partner without her knowledge and consent is bad, but I think there is a huge difference between a sexy worker and an affair.
