Gone are the days where one would stick to the same company. It is not unusual for people to change their careers these days, but this 34-year-old former Brazilian lawyer decided to pursue a profession that seems like a complete 180-degree.
Claudia de Marchi’s unusual choice of profession – that of a prostitute or as she puts it a ‘high luxury courtesan’ - has certainly raised eyebrows and possibly had jaws drop to the floor with a resounding thud.

Marchi’s, a self-admitted feminist, said her reason for changing her career was because she was fed up of ‘masculine selfishness’ in her previous profession. According to the Metro, she believes that, “making money from her body is a form of liberation, and she has started a blog to help other women ‘demand the best for themselves, both in and out of bed’.”
However, she does not consider herself a prostitute. She says, “‘I believe that feminism is liberation, not an obligation. It is being able to do, exclusively, what you desire. That’s what I did, I made a decision thinking in my pleasure and in my sustenance.’

Marchi has a careful vetting process when it comes to her clients. She says she only takes those clients who speak well and agree with her political views. She also entertains repeat clients only if she has been satisfied previously.
