The pages of Sydney's most high-profile escort Samantha X's second autobiography will be filled with sex and clients.
However, the 43-year-old British-born, Australian-based former journalist, real name Amanda Goff, told Fairfax Media those who request her services - half of whom she says are married - need not fear their cover will be blown.
Samantha X, real name Amanda Goff, is penning her second autobiography.
"I am very discreet. Around 90 per cent of my clients want to be featured and were annoyed they were not in the last one," she said.
Might wives recognise their husbands? "They might do," she laughed.
Goff told Fairfax Media half of those who request her services are married but they need not fear their cover will be blown.
Those who can look forward to seeing their details laid bare on the pages, due out in September, are people from all walks of life, including "tradies, celebrities, doctors, professors, bankers, CEOs, businessmen, lawyers".
Describing her main roles as a "companion" and a "healer", Goff's prices range from $1000 per hour to $5000 for an overnight stay and up to $20,000 for a week's holiday. But she says her clients don't all need to be rich.
"They save," she explained. "The ones that try and negotiate your prices usually have the most money."
"Kissing and cuddling" is the most common request she gets from her clients, a million miles from the sexual acts included in an unverified report about what US president-elect Donald Trump is alleged to have engaged in – the most explosive of which sparked the hashtag #GoldenShowers.
The yet unnamed follow-up to her controversial 2014 autobiography, Hooked – Secrets of a High Class Escort, will also explore the highs and lows of what happens when an escort falls in love.
Goff is "in love" ("when he is behaving") with a former client, who does not wish not to be identified, so she refers to him as "Mr Big" and says he is "not well known". They have been seeing each other "on and off for the last 18 months" and says it is more of an open relationship.
"He doesn't live in the same state as me, and we are both adults. If he wants to be with someone else that is his prerogative, whether he is or not, we don't discuss it. When we are together, we are together. It's definitely a passionate relationship," she explained.
"I don't spend time with his family, so it's not a 100 per cent fully committed relationship in that regards.
"But it takes a special man to understand and date an escort."
She said the only backlash she received about her profession was from "online trolls", who she doesn't care for. Other than that, she remains close with her sister, but is still not on speaking terms with her parents. "It's not because of my job," she said.
"I have not lost any friends since revealing my profession, I have actually gained more friends and I am inundated with emails everyday from people who want to know more about me and my work and women who want to come work for me," she added.
She remains the madam of her own escort agency, Samantha X Angels, with 15 women, all over the age of 35, on her books. In her experience, she believes there is a higher demand for escorts as "men don't want to risk being seen walking into a brothel".
"Escorts do not blab. If [Channel Seven boss] Tim Worner went down that line, he wouldn't be in the mess he is in," she added.
