Medical student, 27, puts his neurology degree on hold to become a high class escort

A medical student has put his dreams of neurology on hold to become a high-class escort for Australia’s rich and powerful.

He goes by the name Jake Ryan and describes himself as ‘Australia’s alpha male’, travelling Australia wide to service wealthy women seeking companionship.

The 27-year-old told Daily Mail Australia he started in the adult industry as a ‘means to an end’ but topless waiting turned to stripping and then, eventually to escorting.

Five years on from his beginnings as a topless waiter, ‘Jake’ is still pursuing work in the adult industry. 

After originally setting himself a goal of making $2million, now he says the job isn’t about chasing one figure. 

‘You always fantasise about how much is the golden number – and retrospectively it’s a matter of how I can utilise the money that I have made and that I’m planning on making to afford that end result,’ he said. 

‘I haven’t quite reached that goal yet but I think it’s a good start and if I decide at the time that it is enough to walk away and say I’ve done my bit then that would be great but I think a part of me is curious is to see how far I can go with it.’

While travelling, Jake can see between three to eight clients a day, ranging in age from 20 to 70.

He recently deferred his studies in the medical field to pursue escorting full time but he’s not putting his dreams on hold forever.

‘There is a part of me that fantasises about continuing my degree or changing degrees into a different realm of anatomy and physiology but I do hope I can go back… and I don’t mind thinking I’ll be a mature student when it happens,’ he said.

Despite perceptions of sex work, the type of work Jake does can be as basic as a coffee and a chat – rather than purely physical.

Even though he believes sex work is becoming more accepted, Jake has chosen to remain anonymous, obscuring his face in all his images online and creating a fake name and persona.

But he has been open and honest about his current job with his family, and he said they’re ‘encouraging and supportive’.

‘My family relationships are quite strong and my family do know what I do and I don’t hide anything from them,’ he said.

‘The biggest thing for me was making sure that if they heard anything about me I’d prefer it to be from me rather than from someone else.’

Jake is currently single, saying his sex work made personal relationships are a real challenge.

‘Because I’m travelling a lot it makes it very difficult to maintain a relationship but also the taboo side of being an escort is the emotional and mental stability required to date someone in my position or even to date a sex worker is very confronting especially in society today,’ he said. 

But he admitted while he’s constantly connecting with women and curing their loneliness, it’s an emotion he experiences himself from time to time.

‘I wouldn’t say I get lonely a lot. I’m very much a recluse introvert in my personal life so I find solitude quite comforting, but I would consider that more of an alone time than lonely,’ he said.

‘So I think I do get lonely but it’s not in a way that would construct a relationship.’
