"It has nothing to do with his emotions, nothing to do with love, nothing to do with commitment - just the pure...adventure." Shay, Escort & Agency MadameEvery year, thousands of women from the UK and abroad, choose London as the place to flaunt their assets for money. Amongst them, a growing band of educated, confident, sophisticated young professionals, are turning to the world's oldest profession to satisfy their lifestyle and career aspirations.This documentary goes straight to the heart of London's escort industry to find out more about the women who have embraced the profession, the kind of life they lead and why they have decided to pursue a career as an escort."My husband views it as a job now, which is what it is. As soon as I come home everything else falls away and it's just the two of us," says Ariana, mother of four and an ex-Born Again Christian. When Ariana married her husband she was a virgin who worked in the health service. Growing increasingly dissatisfied with her career Ariana made a list of all the things she enjoyed doing; travel, to help people, sex, shopping, dinging out. For Ariana, who sees herself as a new age sex therapist, escorting was a job which combined everything she was looking for.Shay is an escort with her own successful agency, London Babes Escorts. Educated in America, Shay went on to earn big money in a corporate job in London, but became frustrated with the unsociable hours and decided to do something different. Interestingly, many of Shay's clients are men who also work unsociable hours - they are cash rich, and time poor. Says one regular escort client, "Just because I'm working hard doesn't mean I'm not a man, my body still functions like a man. It's like having a haircut, a barber, a cleaner - they provide a fantastic service."Call Girls: The Truth challenges the viewer to update their notion of what it means to be a modern day escort and provides a fascinating insight into this rarely seen industry.
