(LifeWire) -- Eight years ago, Natalie McLennan, a leggy brunette, moved to New York City from Montreal to pursue an acting career. At a cocktail party, she met Jason Itzler, the self-proclaimed "'king of all pimps'' and owner of the now-defunct New York Confidential escort agency. When Itzler suggested McLennan, then 28, work for him, she decided "dating" guys beat waiting tables while she continued looking for acting gigs.
By 2004, McLennan was earning around $2,000 an hour, sometimes more, seeing "two to three clients a day for at least two to three hours each."
When it came to catering to the needs of her well-heeled customers, "I was always on call."
Natalie -- known as Natalia -- had hit it big; in July 2005, she was profiled for a New York magazine cover story. Three months after the interview hit the newsstands, the agency was shut down. McLennan was arrested for prostitution, spending 26 days in jail.
Thirty-year-old "Celeste," who didn't want her real name used, says she started turning tricks in Minnesota at 15. For her, prostitution was a job, not a path to a celebrity lifestyle. In a good year, the young wife and mother saw up to four clients a day, men she describes as "just guys, like the ones you see at the supermarket or fixing something in your house" and earned up to $300 for 30 minutes of her services. She found her customers through online personals, chat rooms and telephone talk lines for singles.
"I needed that money. I had debt, credit card debt. Then later, when I had a child, I needed the money to pay for food and things for my baby," she says. In May of this year, Celeste says, she decided to quit for good after a client, a doctor, hurt her during sex. "I figured he of all people would know the limitations of a person's body, but he didn't and I thought I was going to die."
McLennan and Celeste represent two sides of an industry that perennially generates headlines and pop culture buzz. Tabloid tales of high-priced call girls and politicians -- like former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer -- have heightened interest in TV fare such as Showtime's "The Secret Diary of a Call Girl." There are also reports of a new series being developed for HBO based on the novel "Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl" and a proposed MTV reality series starring Spitzer's favorite paid date, Ashley Dupre.

While these moments in the sun tend to glamorize prostitution, women in the sex industry and those who study them say a prostitute's real life can also be difficult and dangerous. What's harder to get agreement on is whether the sex industry victimizes women.
When Celeste met her first pimp at a gas station hang-out, she was vulnerable and alone. Her family had neglected her, she says, and she was often the target of psychological abuse. She "didn't have enough self-esteem" to say no when her new boyfriend suggested she work for him. "He was very handsome and smooth," she says. "I wanted him to like me and be my boyfriend. I was living on my own, mainly, and he took care of me."
McLennan, on the other hand, felt more in control and says she enjoyed aspects of her former job, especially the money and the opportunity to "party with rock stars."
"I never felt that I was a victim, as opposed to the girls on the street," says McLennan. "There was definitely anxiety at the beginning, but it got easier almost immediately because the agency's clientele mainly consisted of successful, well-mannered business men. We were marketed as princesses and the men who hired us treated us as such."
Celeste was not so lucky. "I was always afraid, every single time," she recalls. "I did this for 15 years and I never stopped being afraid. The job isn't like in the movies."
McLennan and Celeste both say working for a high-end escort agency or as a call girl is preferable to working in the streets because the money is better and it's less risky than walking the streets. Researchers, meanwhile, are divided over whether the sex industry victimizes the women.
"Prostitution causes deep psychological harm," says Melissa Farley, Ph.D., a research and clinical psychologist and founder and executive director of the nonprofit group Prostitution Research and Education in San Francisco. "The words that are said to these women on the job, the names they are called by their [customers] and pimps hurt them emotionally. They are frequently abused physically. Not to mention that the shelf life of women in prostitution is short -- if women manage to stay alive in it, they don't last a long time."
Farley, who spent two years investigating eight legalized brothels says, "Nevada brothels are scary, scary places." Her research, which was supported by a U.S. State Department grant, found that 81 percent of the women in brothels don't want to be there.
Other researchers disagree with Farley's findings and contend that by legalizing prostitution in the form of brothels, women in the sex industry can gain a modicum of legitimacy.
Sociologist Barb Brents of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, has spent the last 10 years researching the legal brothel industry in Nevada. She disagrees with Farley's position that all women working as prostitutes -- even legally in brothels -- are victims.
Most women working in brothels, Brents says, are doing it for the money, like any other job. "You have women coming in from low-paying service jobs... who decide to work in a brothel because they need more money to make ends meet," she says. "Then you have former prostitutes, women who want to get away from stress of working illegally. Then you have the 'professionals,' women from the legal porn industry or former dancers who see their work as a profession or a calling."
While Brents agrees that abuse and violence can and does occur in the sex industry, it rarely happens in legalized brothels, she says. "These women can leave their jobs. They can walk out the door and quit. They are not prisoners there. And most of them stay because the money is good."
Fifty-year-old Marisol, who asked that her real name not be used, works at Donna's Ranch, a legal brothel in northeastern Nevada. At Donna's, sex workers have access to medical care, are regularly tested for HIV, and have the option of refusing a client. For Marisol, however, it's the money that makes being a sex worker appealing.
"It's a job. I am a single mother and this job allowed me to pay for my daughters' education, our mortgage and our car. I could not do that working at Wal-Mart."
Still, the women interviewed for this article agree that even under the best circumstances, being a sex worker isn't a job that they want to pursue forever. Retirement seems like a good idea to ex-call girl McLennan, who says she is happy to be done with that part of her life, in part because her short prison time was an eye-opener to the risks of her profession. Still, her experiences provided for her: She is writing a memoir, "The Price" (Phoenix Books), due out in November.
She's also planning to set up blog "where I can offer other girls advice and guidance. I have made a lot of bold choices in my life but I think many of them have been misguided."
Celeste wants to volunteer to baby-sit at the non-profit where she once received counseling and comfort. "A lot of women there have babies or young children and they need someone to watch them while they get help," she says. "I want to be able to give back to the organization someday."
For now, Celeste is concentrating on raising her daughter. But despite the harm and fear her last client caused her, she still hasn't changed her phone number -- the one that keeps her attached to her former clients. Without that number, she's officially out of business.
"I keep meaning to change it," she says, "but then I think, what if I need to earn some money fast? It's hard to let go."

A former escort who once had men throwing 'huge sums of money' at her and jetted all around the world for free has turned her experiences into a series of books.
New Yorker Lantana Bleu - who prefers not to reveal her real name - once had her lavish lifestyle funded by wealthy men and couldn't conceive the idea of settling down.
But now she has 'retired' from her lucrative career as a sex worker and turned her hand to writing, penning a three-part book series based on her wild past.
Lantana Bleu, now in her late thirties, spent years as an escort to wealthy men who treated her to 'huge sums' of cash and flew her all around the world. She has now turned her experiences into a three-part book series
Former high class prostitute who goes by the name Lantana Bleu has revealed the secrets of her trade in a new series of novels based on her own exploits
The trilogy - which is part-autobiographical, part-fictional - follows 'modern courtesan' Miss Melisse as she navigates the bizarre world of sex work.
Lantana, who is now in her late-30s, says that she feels she was destined for the profession.
'I'd always been fascinated by the world of escorts,' she told FEMAIL. 'It's like it was a calling.'
Lantana worked her way through university in her early 20s as an office temp, but says she 'hated the corporate world'.
After briefly working as a dancer, she decided it was time for a change in career.
'I acted on my instincts and became a call girl in New York,' she recalled.
Lantana decided to 'retire' from her career as a high-class escort when she got married
She started out working in a 'luxurious' brothel where, she said, 'I worked for a very nice lady and she taught me a lot.'
After the brothel was shut down, Lantana set herself up with her own apartment, advertised her services in local newspapers, and began her fledgling career as a high-class escort.
'At first I was very careful to always screen the men before meeting them in person,' she said.
'I'd call them at work to make sure they were who they said they were, and I'd always meet them for the first time in public. I even hired a bodyguard.'
But she insists that despite her caution, she has 'never had a bad experience' and that she enjoyed every minute of her newfound career path, adding: 'I already loved it, so I was just getting paid to do what I love.'
The high life: During her years as an escort, Lantana flew around the world and ate in expensive restaurants
'Attractiveness is not a factor... unless they're just gross': Lantana insists it did not matter whether she wasy physically attracted to her clients as she was simply offering a service 'like a masseuse or a doctor'
And while some might balk at the idea of sleeping with men 50 years their senior - some of Lantana's clients were in their seventies - she insists it wasn't a turn-off for her.
'I see myself as a healer or an entertainer,' she said. 'And healers should be compensated. You're caring for someone, just like a masseuse or a doctor.
'Attractiveness is not a factor... unless they're just gross.'
Although Lantana refuses to go into specifics on how many clients she saw, or how much she was paid, she does recall being given a bag stuffed with $50,000 (£35,870) in cash by one of her 'near and dears', and says she was 'not exclusive' when it came to her suitors.
'It doesn't make business sense,' she explained.
During her years as an escort, Lantana travelled all around the world, from Barbados to Cape Cod. 'It was always an adventure,' she said. 'My life was populated with lots of different characters.
'Men gave me huge sums of money - that was much better than the lingerie, the spa days and the gift certificates.'
However, it wasn't all fun. 'It's a very lonely life being an escort,' said Lantana. 'It's a bit like a nun going into a nunnery - you know you're not going to have a boyfriend for a very long time. You're married to the lifestyle.'
She did, however, manage to forge a relationship with one man despite him being 'semi-married' at the time.
The former escort said that her career often meant leading a 'lonely life' despite being in inundated with suitors

Despite keeping business and pleasure separate, Lantana embarked on a two-year relationship with one client
'It was love at first sight,' she said. We dated for two years and he used to visit me in New York every other week. I made a point of not talking to him about what I did on my "week off". But he was much older than me and it didn't work out in the end.'
Another notable client was a virgin in his 60s who Lantana says was almost killed in the September 2001 World Trade Center attacks.
'He ran down 64 floors after the plane hit, and when he looked back the tower was crumbling,' she said.
'After that, he decided to seize his life. He called me a few weeks later and we would travel all around Europe.'
Despite her lavish lifestyle, Lantana says that being an escort comes with its downsides. 'Women in that lifestyle aren't able to mature emotionally,' she said.
'You're living in a fantasy world; you never have a serious relationship and you become emotionally immature.'
She finally 'retired' from the business around three years ago after falling in love and getting married, but in hindsight says that she 'had no business getting married'.
'I'm glad I tried it though,' she said.
The relationship fell apart and, since then, Lantana has been focusing in writing her self-published trilogy, The Spicy Secrets of a Jet-Set Temptress, which follows Miss Melisse, a 'world-class temptress at the top of her game.
She says that characters are 'composites' of people she encountered during her time as an escort, while the protagonist, Miss Melisse, is autobiographical. But she added that some details were 'too outrageous' to include.
'I hope it appeals to a wider audience,' she said. 'Not just horny men.'
The Spicy Secrets of a Jet-Set Temptress is available from April 4.
