  In the past escort sites have been not allowed and were suspended – to save the hassle, having your own site not here would probably be the best – hire a host and use the WordPress.ORG software

  These type of blogs are not allowed by wordpress.com you should use wordpress.org on a self hosted site

  Thanks for the replies so far.

  I don’t want an advertising site. I am not going to solicit clients through this page.

  I simply want to write a blog about my experiences. It would be like the Belle de Jour blog. For all anyone knows, it might even be fictional.

  Am I allowed to write a blog about my experiences as an escort?

  How do I get an official response from someone at WordPress, rather than just guessing at what the response might be?

  Thanks so much for the response, timethief.

  I did read the TOS, but I am not clear about whether a blog about my experiences as an escort would count as “promoting or advertising escort services.” In my opinion, it would not, because I would be writing under an alias and I would not be using the site to gain clients. However, it doesn’t really matter what my opinion is if the people who run WordPress don’t see it that way…

  Thanks, and I hope to get a clear answer soon.

  I’ve responded to you privately, and I’m closing this thread because we don’t discuss terms of service issues in the forums :)
