Welcome And Meet April Diamond
Nosy NeighborMy guest this episode is the lovely courtesan and content creator April Diamond. April is joining us. She usually works at the Alien Cat House. April, it's great to have you on.
April DiamondGreat to be here. Thank you.
Nosy NeighborTell us a little bit about your upbringing and what you're comfortable in sharing.
April DiamondSo I live on the East Coast in the South. I grew up not far from where I live now. I was raised in a very religious household, Southern Baptist, very conservative. You know, we w there was no talk of sex or anything of that nature in my childhood. And yeah, so that I guess that's you know my upbringing. I I can remember, I guess, as far as I don't know, as far back as middle school or maybe even earlier, just always being very curious about sex. And I think just the fact that my parents didn't talk about it was very hush-hush, made me probably a little more curious and rebellious when I became a teenager. So I guess that's what initially got me into, I don't know, I guess this kind of work, but you know, eventually this kind of work.
Nosy NeighborAnd so how early were you did you start having sex then?
April DiamondI lost my virginity, uh, 14. Yeah.
Nosy NeighborWas it something that was enjoyable? Was it something that it was just kind of taboo because you had done it, or what was the initial kind of it wasn't great.
April DiamondIt was with my boyfriend, but it wasn't great. I I was very underwhelmed at that point.
Nosy NeighborAnd so then did the the sexual activity then continue with him, or was it we did it, we crossed that line that it was such, you know, that we weren't supposed to cross that it was just what things went back to normal, or did it grow your curiosity?
April DiamondI think it just grew my curiosity. I definitely became very sexually active in high school. I don't know if it was like a just rebellious or like curiosity thing. I really don't remember, but I definitely was a wild child when I um I don't know, when I was like 16 or 17, I had a very uh promiscuous streak around that time. And and ever since then, I've really just been a very sexual person. Yeah.
Growing Up Baptist And Sex Curiosity
Nosy NeighborSo then you went off to apologize, I assume. Tell us a little bit about what was early life for April like.
April DiamondSo I went to college, I got a degree in social work, and actually when I was a senior in college, that was when I first got the idea to become a courtesan. I a friend of mine was over at my house. Um, we were kind of just joking because we were talking about like how to make how we could make some money, because we were both broke and in college. And so I think I think it was her idea. So we both decided to apply to Mustang Ranch. So we both applied. I don't remember if she got called or if she chickened out. I don't really remember what happened with her side of it, but they called me uh like the next day, and I flew out there within a week. I made great money that first trip, and that was in like 2015. So I did two tours back then. I I did really well, but I was still in college and I still had kind of a plan, you know, to finish college. And so yeah, I did those two tours, came back, got a real job per se, and kind of worked my way up in the social work field doing a bunch of different things. And, you know, I was kind of at the higher end of the pay range that I I could, you know, potentially make with a bachelor's degree. And so I I was about 10 years into it actually. And then I decided, hey, like I should just go back. I was super burnt out, you know, super just you know, having like compassion fatigue and all the things, just you know, helping people with their lives, helping people with their problems, and then coming home and you know, just struggling to even get my rent paid. And it it was just really hard as far as you know, money-wise and stress and emotionally with my job. So I actually took like a year off. I didn't work at all, and then decided to go back to Mustang Ranch. Um, and that was about three years ago.
College, Social Work, Then Mustang Ranch
April DiamondAnd so I was at Mustang Ranch for quite a while, and then I just recently uh moved over to Alien Cat House.
Nosy NeighborNow, what was I mean, you had said you were promiscuous and you had you explored your sexuality for for a couple of years by then, but those are all for the most part, I would assume, men that you were engaging with by choice. Yes. You were making the decision, you know, here's the guy I'm gonna sleep with, and you might have been promiscuous, but it was on your terms. Whereas going to you know a ranch, you kind of surrender some of that choice. It depends on who comes through the door. Was that a big adjustment for you, or were you just enjoying the sexuality part of it that it really didn't matter?
April DiamondI mean, I I will admit I get a little turned on by the money aspect of it. And I had kind of explored the sugar daddy type realm for very briefly. I got I I didn't, I I was on like seeking arrangement, and there were a few instances where I would like meet somebody and just get like a weird vibe, and I just didn't like that it wasn't controlled, you know, there wasn't like security and things like that. But as far as like, you know, actually sleeping with somebody or and and it, you know, kind of being under the pretense of a sugar baby type thing, but you know, it was more so just meeting up for sex, if I'm honest. I realized it just wasn't, you know, it wasn't that hard for me to do. I don't know. I I guess I'm just a little more able to kind of compartmentalize that type of thing, more so than some ladies. I don't know. Yeah, it wasn't really hard for me at all. And then at, you know, the ranches, you know, you have full control over like what clients you decide to book a party with and what clients you don't. You know, if somebody comes in and for whatever reason we don't want to book a party, whether it's the money, whether it's, you know, they smell bad, or whether it's like they're just a jerk or whatever, you know, we don't have to explain ourselves. We can decide not to party with the guy for any reason.
Nosy NeighborSo you left a little bit after or after doing a couple of tours at the ranch, and for those that don't know, a lot of the girls, you're basically renting a space at the ranch. You're paying to stay there, and usually it's a week or two that someone stays there, they go back home and then they might come back, or it's it's kind of a fluid situation. So you left for a while. Was there did the promiscuality still continue then, or did it kind of ease up, or how did that happen?
April DiamondI'd say it kind of came, it it was kind of there sometimes and and and not a lot of times. I during that time I kind of jumped from relationship to relationship. Like I never really had more than like a month or so single. You know, it I would date somebody, and then if we broke up or whatever, I would go maybe a month and then be into a relationship with someone else. I also got married within that time, and we were together, I think a total of five and a half years, but we were only married about six months. But yeah, even right before him, I had just gotten out of a relationship when I met him. And then whenever he and I divorced, that was the first time in my entire life that I had been single for more than like a month or two. And I was single, I've actually not dated since then. And that was we divorced in 2021. So yeah, I was very single for a while when I decided to go back to Mustang.
Nosy NeighborAnd what was it about Mustang that that became your first choice? Was it just you looked it up and that was the one that you saw, and so you said, Oh, let's just figure out, or what was your thinking process?
April DiamondI'm not a hundred percent sure. I I it's been so long I don't remember why that was the one we chose. Um I think maybe my friend suggested it, if I remember correctly, but I it's all fuzzy. It was so long ago. I remember at one point watching a show, and I could not tell you what the show was at this point. It's been so long, but that that kind of piqued my interest as well. But it was kind of, you know, it wasn't something I acted on. I just remember thinking, oh, that's kind of cool. And it was around that time. So that might have played into it as well. I just don't remember details of why that was the one we chose.
Nosy NeighborAnd help
Choice, Control, And Client Screening
Nosy Neighborus understand. I mean, the money factor you said is, you know, a great positive. It's a great incentive. From the sexuality part of it, were you, I mean, do you find that your needs as I mean, you're a lovely young woman, do you find that your needs were being met sexually? Was this something that was just the thrill of it was the part of doing it, or was this uh was there a sexual satisfaction for you?
April DiamondI think it at first it was the thrill of doing it, and I still, it still is, you know, it I like that it's an exciting job. You know, it's it's never the same person every day, it's never the same scenario every day. So that does, you know, keep things exciting. I would say for the most part, it fulfills my sexual needs, but sometimes not, you know, it just kind of depends. I don't know. I'm I'm I I think I'm actually approaching uh perimenopause at this point. So I don't have that super, super intense desire that I've had my entire life. It's just kind of started, I don't know, maybe in the past year it's kind of started to like wane, I guess. I don't know if that is perimenopause or if it's just you know, kind of like a side effect from the job. I'm having so much sex that I don't really crave it as much when I'm home. I don't know. Could be one of either, I guess.
Nosy NeighborAnd what's I mean those of us who have had sex, you know, there's you get in your routine, and a lot of times sex with a boyfriend, girlfriend is often repetitive, or the routine that we're in. With your job, there has to be a lot of firsts. And what's that like, you know, anytime someone comes to you with with a first, what's your kind of process for, you know, because as a courtesan, I assume there's a lot of not really hand holding, but you're in charge there. You're the one, you're the expert, you're the people one that people are going to to kind of fulfill those needs. But when you have something that you face it's a first for you, how do you approach it?
April DiamondI mean, I'm always willing to learn with you know, with with boundaries and with you know limits, of course. You know, there's certain things that I like to do and certain things that I just there are just a hard no. But for the most part, I'm open to exploring new things and learning. And I think that's a lot of the beauty of this job is you get to have a lot of those experiences that you otherwise would maybe not have. So yeah, I I I kind of just try to approach things with an open mind, even if it's not something that I necessarily am into, or you know, something that doesn't necessarily turn me on, you know, as long as it's not a hard no, like as long as it's not crossing certain lines, you know, I might be willing to try it in order to satisfy someone else's fantasy, if that makes sense.
Nosy NeighborAnd do you, I mean, you've been doing this a while. Do you still have like a bucket list of your own that you were like, here's a couple of things that I wish someone would come in and ask me to try because I'm curious to try it myself, or have you pretty much crossed that bucket off list a while ago?
April DiamondI don't think there's really anything that I haven't tried that I would want to try. Yeah, I haven't really even thought about that lately. I I know when I first got into it, I was kind of curious about a few things, but then it kind of was like it happened, and it was like, okay, well, that's that. It was cool. I mean, I feel like most of the things that you know I was interested in trying, I I feel like they've I've pretty much made them happen. Yeah.
Nosy NeighborWe're human beings. We all have needs, we all have emotions. It's easy for us. I mean, we watch a TV show, we cry because we get caught up in the emotions of a TV show. It's something as simple as that. Uh sexuality is a very, for most people, an emotional thing. It's uh emotional release or you you have feelings or stuff like that. You kind of mentioned before that you compartmentalize a lot of things. Is that something that you compartmentalize and and what is that like to turn off those emotions and not let your heart every once in a while find its way out?
April DiamondI really don't know how to explain that, actually. I mean, I definitely have moments with clients where, you know, we have more chemistry or you know, we clearly like each other, we're attracted to each other and things like that. And then there's definitely clients where I'm just not necessarily attracted to them, but I can still kind of find a way to enjoy the party or enjoy the experience. But as far as feelings, I don't I guess maybe compared to when I was younger, I don't really get I don't know, I don't really have those feelings around sex unless it's like a super extraordinary type experience. It's very rare that I actually have like an emotional connection, um, especially with with clients. I don't know if it's just that I I think I like I said I said earlier, like I do compartmentalize. It's not like a conscious thing, though. It's just kind of like, okay, I know that this is a client, not somebody that I'm meeting in my personal life. So I'm kind of able to just like not allow my feelings to get involved, I guess. I I really don't know how to explain it. It's kind of just a subconscious thing I do at this point.
Alien Cat House Lineups Explained
Nosy NeighborNo, the alien cat house, each location has their own kind of process as far as meeting people. There's, you know, online you can find your bio. You have several lovely pictures on it, and it says, you know, reach out and contact me if you want to set up a date. Some of them have like the lineup where the girls come down, they line up, and the the guys can choose for there. Others have like a bar setting. What is the the cat house process for if I was to show up at the Alien Cat House?
April DiamondSo it's mostly a lineup house. We there is a bar, but it's more it's more so just to cater to clients who are already there to book a party with a lady, not just to come in and hang out. I think that if you're not selecting a lady from the lineup or not there for an appointment, I think they'll allow you to have like two drinks, you know, especially if you're like trying to decide if you want to partake in services or whatever the case may be. I think you're allowed like two drinks before it's like, okay, if you're not gonna party with a lady, you gotta go. But it's not really like a social atmosphere where compared to like Mustang Ranch, for example. Yeah. So it's mostly a lineup house. Guys can come in, uh, request a lineup, or they can come in and just request a bar call, which is where we they can sit at the bar and all the ladies come out to the bar um and just kind of you know talk for a few minutes, but he kind of eventually is expected to choose a lady and not just sit there and hang out. And then we also do take appointments.
Nosy NeighborYeah. Is it competitive with other because here's you know, some guy comes in, it's late in the evening, there's so many dollars at play, but there's five, six, seven of you competing for those dollars. Do you have good relationships, especially when you know you're only there for a couple of weeks and then you're gone, someone else, there's a lot of turnover, I would assume.
April DiamondWell, I I just started at Alien Cat House. I've only done one tour so far. And so far, no. I feel like you know, there's such a broad, I don't know. I guess all the ladies that I worked with for that first tour were all so different. I did recently dye my hair red, and I noticed that we had at least two other redheads. So that's that's the only other, the only thing other otherwise, all the ladies were so different, like body size or you know, our build, things like that. I think I might be the oldest lady there at uh that I've at least that I've worked with so far. But no, I didn't really feel any competition. To me, I don't know. I guess in any brothel, it's you know, there is, I guess what you could say competition, but I don't look at it that way because it seems like no matter what you look like, where you know, or who you are, there's always, you know, some guy that you know you're their type. So I don't know, it just depends on what a guy is looking for and and and what his what kind of party he's wanting, what kind of girl he's attracted to, things like that. So yeah.
Bios, Privacy, And Showing Your Face
Nosy NeighborAnd one of the things that each girl has is their own bio page where you go through and explain, you know, what you're into, a little bit about your personality. You have several photos, and I'm always interested. Some are very discreet, they are not very open to who they are, they're protecting themselves, they have family friends that you know might not know who they are, so you can't really see them too much, or their pictures hide their face. Others have full nudity, others don't have any nudity. Uh, I believe yours is one that doesn't have nudity. Was that a choice? Was that I mean how do you how do you go about figuring out how to market yourself? Because we have things like OnlyFans, we have things like Twitter where you can post pictures. What that is that process like and is it really a business for you in some ways?
April DiamondSo I I initially did not have any nudity on my page, or I didn't actually have my my face shown at all um when I first started at Mustang. And then I I don't I don't really know why I decided to do that, other than I felt like you know it would probably get me more business if I showed my face, and it definitely did. Um I definitely once I showed my face, I feel like I got more appointments. Yeah, I don't know. It I feel like I'm I don't I'm very comfortable with my body, so I don't like feel the need to hide that part of me. I do understand why some ladies do, but that's just not my personality. So I kind of just try, I guess, to let my pictures reflect who I am. And now my family doesn't, well, my daughter does know what I do, but the rest of my family does not know what I do. But I've been lucky in that regard, considering I live on the East Coast. Yeah, I've been overall pretty careful. I do have my nudes posted in other places because I do OnlyFans, but I'm pretty selective about where I post them and things like that, if that makes sense.
Pricing Rules, Budgets, And Negotiation
Nosy NeighborAnd from what I have seen, it is a lovely face and a lovely body, so I can't confirm that. But I also find it interesting because the there's a lot of regulations and a lot of hoops. And like if I was to go to a brothel, I've driven by two brothels, but never been in one. But one of the things that intimidates me is even on this podcast, we can't talk about money, we can't talk about pricing, we can't talk about anything like that. That's not your choice, that's not you know the brothel's choice. That's regulation. You can't talk about price. And so part of my fear would be to insult someone because I wouldn't want to come in and say, you know, hey, how about uh twenty dollars for this? And have you go, My God, I don't even, you know, unbutton a button for twenty dollars. Yeah. At the same time, I don't want to say, how about ten thousand dollars for this, and have you go, Oh my god, it's the most I've ever gotten for doing that. And so it's hard to understand like what I would be doing without insulting that person. Is that something that's common for other people too? That they they feel intimidated because they don't want to insult you, but they also want to be taken for a lot because they don't know what to do. How do you navigate that without breaking any rules, but yet kind of helping inform them of of what's going on and how to be, you know, because you have value and what you're doing has a value to it. And so to be respectful without you know feeling stupid.
April DiamondYeah, I mean, it's kind of it I don't know, it's I feel like there's you know, good it's good and bad that we can't post or you know, can't discuss pricing. I I feel like it's good in the way that you know I don't necessarily always charge the same price for every client. You know, sometimes if especially if it's a regular and I know that they're a difficult client or or they're you know gonna want something way more involved, you know, I will up that price a little bit. Or if they're maybe not, I don't know, or or if they're super nice and I'm like really attracted to them, maybe I'll I'll lower the price a little bit. Or if we're super slow and I haven't booked all week or whatever the case might be, I might go a little lower. But you know, otherwise I do have like a set minimum, you know, the lease that I'll I'm willing to take. But I do try to work with your budget. Like, you know, even if even if maybe you don't have enough money for like a full two-hour party or whatever it is that you're wanting, I'll at least try to provide something. You know, even if it's only just like a 30-minute party or like a quickie or whatever. I try to at least do something unless it's just, you know, a super, super low amount. And and each house does, I think ever as far as I'm aware, every house has a house minimum, like uh the least amount we're allowed to accept. So, you know, we're not even though we set our own prices, that the house says that, hey, if you're doing full sex or whatever, like you can't go under this amount. But otherwise, we do set our own prices. And yeah, like I said, sometimes it just Changes depending on the guy. It sometimes can change depending on the day. It just it's a lot of things that factor in. You know, if if if you're wanting like a two-girl party or like a specialty party, like anal or something like that, like the price goes up accordingly. But otherwise, like if you come in and you have like a decent amount and it's not quite what I would want, sometimes I'll at least try to work with you, if that makes sense.
OnlyFans Content And Collabs
Nosy NeighborAnd then you mention OnlyFans. You have an OnlyFans page, correct?
April DiamondYes.
Nosy NeighborAnd how often are you posting there and what kind of content is it?
April DiamondSo, well, to be honest with you, the past like maybe two months I've been a little slack, um, but it's a lot of uh solo content. I've got uh uh several collabs with with other content creators. I've got uh a girl and girl girl on girl collab. I've got um three guy, three collabs with guys. I think three, maybe more than that. Yeah, so I try to I I haven't done a collab actually in over a year. Um, but I try to find other content creators that are you know established and have a good following to work with because that kind of will boost both of our numbers. But yeah, it's mostly mostly solo content, but with with collabs, and I I'd say those are like anywhere from 30 to 45 minute videos each. Um, and they're all kind of a little different because we're all you know, we all have our different styles and things like that. Like some of them, some of them are like super, I don't know, not professional, I guess you would say, like amateur, like I guess what most people go on OnlyFans for. Um, and then one of them is semi-professional. It's a guy I did a collab with in Vegas who's in like the top point something percent. So that one looks you know more professional, more clean, things like that. But yeah, they're all different. It's kind of a variety of stuff, actually.
Nosy NeighborSo if they want to see unique, they can go to there.
April DiamondYep.
Nosy NeighborBut that's another thing that I don't know if I would go to a brothel without seeing because, like you said, we all have our own personalities and and whatnot. And you know, someone might be fully dressed, but then undresses and is covered head to toe with tattoos. And if you're not into tattoos, then it's another thing. So I think I would want to see so looking at pictures is like, oh, now I can see everything, and it sounds prudish, but hey, you're going to a brothel, so you can be a little bit prudish. And so it's interesting to that some of them are not naked, given how men are visually we're visual creatures. That's why we read Playboys, whereas women are more verbal and they read romance novels.
April DiamondYeah.
Nosy NeighborWhen it comes to a client, where do you find most of your come from? Are they walk-ins? Are they people that have you know been on your OnlyFans that wanted to meet you? How do you what you know percentage are your kind of people that come find you?
April DiamondI feel like um most of them just find me on the websites or they're just walk-ins. I let's see. Um, just thinking back to my last tour. I had um, I think a total of six clients for that tour, something like that. And two of them were emails. One guy picked me out of a lineup, and another guy called like an hour before he was getting there. He had found me on the website and was just on his way. And then I think the other two were just guys that came in and did like a bar call. It it really just there's no rhyme or reason to it, to be honest. Um, I used to be a little more active on Instagram, um, but I've been banned from Instagram twice. So I'm on my third Instagram account. So that one's not really pulling anybody in these days because I only have like 300 and some followers or something. But that one was actually, I I'd gotten a few clients from that at one point when I had more followers. I don't know if I've had any specific from my OnlyFans. Um OnlyFans is actually very, very strict about like I I cannot mention I I don't I don't think I could probably even say the word Cortesan on OnlyFans. I would probably get banned. Um, so I've I've never like explicitly said, you know, in a post on OnlyFans, like, hey, I work here, come see me. I do have like my Instagram and like I don't know, my Reddit and a few other things, like posted. I think I have like my links on my main page on OnlyFans, but unless somebody goes and clicks those links and like kind of digs, they're not really gonna be able to see it. Um, so I don't think I really get many clients from OnlyFans. I do get a lot of OnlyFans subscribers from work though. So it's kind of it kind of goes the other way, if that makes sense.
Why OnlyFans Cannot Send Clients
Nosy NeighborIt does, and I think part of that was my answer too, where you go to your the Courtesan page, the alien cat house, and you can't see naked. But then you're gonna she has an OnlyFans and you're like, well, she looks pretty good, and those are very lovely pictures, and so now I'm curious, and so let's go to OnlyFans. I think you're only the second guest that I've had on that I haven't seen naked yet, so maybe I need to join the OnlyFans. Is it frustrating? I mean, you can be to put it bluntly, you can be sucking two guys' cocks at the same time, and OnlyFans welcomes and embraces that and celebrates that. But you mentioned that you have a job that is absolutely illegal, that is absolutely regulated, and you are complying within the guidelines of the law and following the law, and that's shunned.
April DiamondSo I think what the actual I can't think of like how it's worded or anything, but I think what the actual rule is on OnlyFans is um you're not allowed to arrange for outside communication outside of OnlyFans like explicitly something to that effect. Um like you're not allowed to say, hey, uh you should email me or hey, you should come see me at work or anything like that, because that blurs the lines of soliciting prostitution, because it's you're you're you know, they're viewing like a sexual service or viewing sexual content on the website. And then like if you're saying, hey, come meet me, that's kind of blurring the lines of soliciting prostitution, which in the United States as a federal law is illegal. Um so you know, considering it's not just, you know, or prostitution is only legal in one state and then only in the brothels. Um, and and and even in the brothels, um, the ways that you're able to advertise yourself and the ways that the brothels are able to advertise is very, very strict. Um, like I I can't really say certain things on even Instagram or X or anything like that because, you know, just because it's legal in a certain county in Nevada doesn't mean it's legal for me to just go online and post, you know what I mean? Does that make sense? Um, so I think I think that's the issue. Um and I like I have a girl a girlfriend who I used to work with at Mustang, and um, she had posted just like her promo video, and I think she I think she just maybe put the location, said that the location was at Mustang Ranch or something like that. I don't even think she was trying to tell people to come there or anything like that, and she got banned immediately. So I yeah, I've been very careful to just try to avoid it at, you know, altogether, because I'm not really sure what the line is there, but I don't want to cross it because I really don't want to start over with my OnlyFans. That would suck.
Getting Banned On X, Reddit, Instagram
Nosy NeighborIs that frustrating or is that just part of the job that you have to be, even though you're not doing anything wrong where you're at, everything is legal compliant, but yet you have to walk such a fine line that you're almost scared of doing anything out of fear of being punished for not doing anything wrong where you're at.
April DiamondIt's honestly super frustrating. I mean, like, you know, I was kind of aware as far as OnlyFans that they were super strict about things like that. And so, like, if anybody messages me saying anything, I just say, hey, like, your chats are monitored. Like, I'm not, I can't answer that question. Um, but I think what's even more frustrating in my experience at least is I've been banned twice on Reddit, like three times on X, twice on Instagram. And I don't even they don't even give me a reason as far as like what I did specifically to get banned. I'm pretty sure I figured out that on X, it was because I had the word courtesan in my like either my bio or like my name or something somewhere, like in like my main information. Um, but like as far as the other ones, I have no idea like what specifically I even said or did to get banned. Like if they would give me a more specific reason that okay, I get it. But it's like you don't really even know sometimes like what exactly you can post. And it's like on the on the same lines, I see other people posting like the same types of peop of pictures, the same types of posts, and they're not getting banned. So it just I feel like a lot of it might have to do with people reporting you. I think maybe they let things slide until you get reported. I don't know. I haven't been able to figure that out. Yeah. I I someone I and I don't want to believe this is true, but someone uh at whenever I kept getting banned on Instagram was saying, well, maybe it's another girl that you work with, you know, feels who feels like your competition or whatever who keeps reporting you. And so I guess that is a possibility, but like, you know, I don't want to I liked all the girls I work with. Like I hate to think that like they would be doing that, but you just never know.
Nosy NeighborAnd yeah, that would be a shame because you're all you're almost kind of in that tough situation together, and so instead of you know having it bad enough where everyone is kind of against you mentally, it'd be nice if you girls could be able to kind of stick together and have each other's back.
April DiamondYeah. And I feel like for the most part, we do, you know, like all the ladies that I you know met, have met, most of them, you know, I felt like we're very like supportive, very, you know, girls, girls, like we're here for each other, we support each other, you know, whatever. Um, you know, there have been a few here and there where I'm like, I might question their motives a little bit more because they're not super friendly or whatever, but like I just I don't understand that um that behavior because it's just not who I am. Like, you know, I'm not the type of girl who is going to feel threatened by somebody and then try to like sabotage them in any way. Like I try to be supportive of all the ladies. Like we're all different. We all, you know, are here for the same reasons. So, like, why, you know, why are we gonna be like
Hard No’s And Exploring Kinks Safely
April Diamondthat?
Nosy NeighborAnd you mentioned before some of your hard no's. Do you mind sharing what some of those hard no's are?
April DiamondI mean, I'm sure there are others depending on circumstances that I haven't thought of, but no, no extreme pain, like no leaving marks, definitely no drawing blood, anything like that. That's all I can think of at the moment. I know there are others that come to me, like in the moment. I do not, I well, I guess I kind of learned this through trial and error. I I'm not into fisting as far as any type of fisting. Those are probably the only ones I can think of that are just hard no as of right now. I kind of I I get some requests for like a dominatrix type role, and and that's kind of something I'm willing to explore, but not something that I have a lot of experience in. So, you know, every time I've gotten a request for that, I've like let them know like, hey, I'm not like a trained dominatrix by any means, but I'm willing to like try if you if you want to still do that. But if you're wanting like a trained dominatrix, you might want to go with somebody else. Yeah. So I I've gotten a lot of you know, strange requests. And for the most part, I'm, you know, as long as it's not like harmful to me or them or whatever, um, I'm usually pretty open. But um, if it's something that another lady might have more experience with, or something that, you know, I feel like they're gonna enjoy it more with another lady rather than me like trying to figure it out mid-party. Um, I usually try to let them know so that way they can make the decision. And if they still want to party with me, great. If they would rather do it with somebody more experienced, they have that option.
Nosy NeighborHow much of you yourself do you have to almost disconnect reality and emotions and feelings and just even your own perception? Because, like, if somebody comes in and says, I would like to see you, but I also want, you know, another girl to join us, now you're dealing with like a co-worker. Is that is that hard to kind of pro I mean, most of us would think, you know, if someone went into your work and said, I want you and your other co-worker to join me and have sex, that's a little bit of a weird thing for some of us, but it's the day of the life of a courtesan. What's that like? And how is your relationship with you know other courtesans that you're working with that you might have to join in? And is that odd? Is that awkward? Is it part of the job? How does that how do you process all of that?
Two-Girl Parties And Working Dynamics
April DiamondUm, so I've I've definitely done lots of two world parties. I've yet to do one yet at Alien Cat House, but I did lots of them at Mustang Ranch. And I think it, you know, it sometimes it was another girl pulling me into a party, or sometimes it was me pulling another girl into a party. And I think the situation's always a little different. You know, sometimes the guy will come in and he'll say, like, I want you and you, and we'll kind of look at each other and be like, okay, are we both willing to do this? And then we kind of both will talk outside, you know, the room to figure out like what our number, the lowest number we're willing to accept is and what we're willing to do, things like that. And then we come and meet with the client together to negotiate. Um, and like, you know, if a guy, if it's, you know, a client that I'm already meeting with and he says, you know, is there another girl that you kind of click with or that you've partied with before? And, you know, in that instance, like it always depends on what lady is there at that time, because even if I do have a certain lady that I click with, she may or may not be there at that time. Um, but yeah, so I usually, you know, would choose a lady that like I have a rapport with, at least, like a somebody that, you know, we're somewhat friends, um, unless the guy has a a recommendation or or uh, you know, prefers a specific lady. But yeah, it's sometimes it can be a little awkward. I've only ever had one two-girl party that kind of became awkward. And I think it was more awkwardness between the guy and her. Um, like it was a guy that I had partied with before. Um, but he was also interested in this other lady. So he brought her in. And then I think like halfway through the party, they both kind of realized I don't know, it was hard to kind of figure it out like what was going on, but like there was there was something between them that was not working. And the lady ended up just kind of excusing herself, kind of halfway through the party. And we were, it was, yeah, it was a little awkward, but it wasn't, you know, so bad that we had to in the party or something. We just kind of finished it with just him and I, if that makes sense. I don't know. Like, I've definitely had two girl parties that just went smoothly and you know, no problems whatsoever. That's like I said, that's the only one I've had that was awkward or weird, but I don't think it was anybody's fault. I think it was just that they didn't really click. But yeah, it's I guess you you have to be comfortable like with another lady. I think once you get over that initial, like, oh my god, oh my god, and you just kind of like let things flow, I think that's a a big thing, you know, with that. You just have to kind of let it flow, I guess. I don't know how else to explain that.
The 50-50 Split And Brothel Advocacy
Nosy NeighborIf the state of Nevada came to you and said, you've been at two different ranches, we want to name you courtesan queen of Nevada. What are some of like the bigger changes that you would make if you were made courtesan queen?
April DiamondOh my goodness. I've never thought about that. I guess, you know, I don't really have a genuine answer. I have an ant I I will admit I listened to a few of your other interviews. So I'm gonna um I'm gonna back up what I shoot, I can't even remember who said it now. I wanna say maybe Alice Little. And if if and if I'm saying the wrong person, I apologize. But the 50-50 split between us and the houses, I do understand that they're running a business and you know, all of that, but it just kind of sucks sometimes, you know, especially if you you book a really great party and you know the guy is paying you a lot of money and all that, and then you gotta give the house half. Sometimes that's just really it's just it's a kick to the gut or something. I don't know. I just hate it sometimes. I mean, I understand that's how it works, so you know, I don't really have a say-so in that matter, but yeah, it would be nice considering we are doing the work and we are providing the service. It would be nice if it was more of like a 60-40 split or something like that.
Nosy NeighborAnd when you're when you're doing that, I mean, is there anyone out there that kind of advocates for the women at the brothels? I mean, or is it just Nevada has its laws, the cities have their laws, and whatever city councils or whatever they come down with, you have to abide. Is there any group out there that is advocating or who's fighting for you as far as making sure that your needs are protected versus what the city thinks that your needs are?
April DiamondYou know, I really don't know. I do know that there were some issues at another brothel, uh, I don't know, like last year, and I do not remember details, but I know that a couple ladies decided to form a union because of the issues, but I don't think it was regarding pay or anything like that. I think it was regarding like their ownership of their photos or ownership of their IP address or something like that. So there was a union that was formed. I don't really know the status of that now. And I don't really know if it was something that would, you know, was just um for ladies in that certain county. I don't really know details. But other than that, you know, I feel like for the most part, it's the madams, I guess. You know, they try to at least have our best interest in mind when it comes to policies at the houses, but I really don't know who is in charge of advocating for us at at that level. I should probably look into that, but uh yeah, I don't know.
Favorite Clients And Real Connection
Nosy NeighborIf money was not a factor, is there anything that you I mean you've been doing this a while. Is it still fun for you? And if so, which is more fun if money wasn't a factor? Having a young virgin come in and being able to kind of guide him or the businessman coming in that's just looking for a good time? Is there, you know, is there any scenarios that just excite you, or is it all just business as usual?
April DiamondYou know, it really just depends on the person, I think. Like I definitely have had instances with like younger guys. Like there was one guy in particular I can think of that came in last year, and he was, I can't remember if he was a virgin or if maybe he had been with one person prior. But basically the guy spent the whole weekend, spent quite a bit of money, and he was super sweet, super respectful. He literally just wanted like instruction. He wanted like experience, feedback, and like, you know, base so that he could go and find a lady with a little more confidence. And it was, it was like the the sweetest thing. Um, he was, you know, he had all the right instincts. Like, if I had not known that he was very inexperienced, like I would have thought he kind of knew what he was doing. But just the fact that he was like, you know, trying to find like the right way to go about things and trying to do things in a respectful way as well, and just getting feedback on how to treat a lady and how to pleasure a lady. It was it was very like refreshing. Um, because I feel like a lot of guys just don't really care. They're just there to get off. So he was definitely one of my favorite. But on that note, there are a lot of younger guys who come in who are a lot more difficult, I should say. Um, but yeah, and there are definitely older guys who come in and who are just as sweet. Um, you know, I've had clients who um have been widowed or, you know, sometimes don't even we don't even get to the sex part. They just want to talk. And those are great too. It just it depends on the person and and I guess sometimes their approach and how respectful they are. Like I can usually enjoy myself no matter what is happening in the party. It doesn't always have to be sex, you know, as long as we connect on some level. Sometimes just the conversation is is great. Um so yeah, even if it's not the most exciting sexually, it's usually I can usually find some way to enjoy a party.
Nosy NeighborThat's one of the things that's in that's I Found really interesting in having various courtesans on is a lot of them talk about how it's not just about sex, a lot of it is mental, a lot of it's being there. It's you know, someone that had an injury that isn't performing or isn't comfortable performing but still has needs, or you know, with someone that's a widow and just needs some kind of companionship, how it's not just you know, hi, come over, open your legs, and let's do it. There's a lot of emotional things that I don't think we think about when it comes to being a courtesan.
April DiamondRight, yeah.
Porn, Rough Requests, And Respect
Nosy NeighborWrapping things up, I just have a couple more questions, and I appreciate your time. When we how much has porn influenced the courtesan experience? Because nowadays we turn a lot of porn on, and a lot of it's you know, here's this cum slut, and here's this then that, and it's degrading, or so much of it is physical, it's you know, rough sex, and you might enjoy that, but you know, it seems like these days porn is either the MILF category or the stepdaughter category. There's few in between. Do you find that porn has influenced when people come to the courtesan or when they come to a ranch? And when it comes to you, how do you prefer to be treated? I mean, what's the best way to get in your good graces?
April DiamondSo I don't feel like porn has really changed much. I mean, porn has been around and influenced this field since it first began in Nevada. Actually, whenever I initially went to Mustang Ranch, I my big sister, or the girl who trained, lady who trained me, um, was J.R. Carrington, and she was known as the anal queen. And she was a very popular porn star. So that was actually kind of cool to be trained at, you know, my new job by a porn star. And I remember even back then, like guys would come in just to have like an anal experience with J.R. Carrington. Like she was super popular. And we've we have lots of porn stars that work in the industry. And then also most houses kind of have, even if you aren't necessarily a porn star, guys will come in requesting more of a porn star experience rather than a girlfriend experience, where you know, you're kind of hanging out and, you know, more less performative, I guess. And some guys like that more performative type thing. I think we I I don't I don't feel like porn has really changed much. I mean, yeah, there are some guys who come in and they might want something more rough or they might want like more bondage type thing. But that's something that we kind of talk about in negotiation. Like, you know, are you just wanting straight sex? Are you wanting something more vanilla? Are you wanting something more kinky? And, you know, sometimes it it just varies. I don't think it's necessarily due to porn. I mean, yeah, porn is where ideas come from a lot of the times, but I definitely use porn all the time, especially if a guy comes in requesting something that I've never done or something that I feel like I need more ideas for. I I immediately go watch porn to get ideas. So I don't know. I I think, you know, as long as you're able to connect with clients on a deeper level, because that, you know, it's it's definitely more about connection than than the porn industry, I think. But as long as you're able to connect with them on some level and then also provide whatever experience they're interested in, yeah, I think it's it kind of balances out that way. So I think that's that's something that we would talk about in negotiation. Like, are you like if they're I feel like that's something they would need to mention. Um, and that's not some really a question I would think to ask, you know, like are you into degradation or that type of thing? But at least specifically, I wouldn't think to ask you know about that. But I do, you know, during the negotiation, I would I try to ask, like, is there anything like specific you're into or you know, anything kink, you know, anything you're wanting to happen that's outside of just a blowjob and sex, like, you know, vanilla type thing. I've never actually had a guy. Actually, I think I have had one that was kind of he said that he wanted something rough, a little rough. And then we got into the party and he was a little more rough than I was comfortable with. So it wasn't so bad that I felt like I needed to set off my alarm in my room, but it was enough so that I didn't party with him again. He was a regular. So I don't know. It just I feel like, you know, if if a guy is open and honest about that type of thing when he first comes in to the negotiation, you know, it's something I'd be willing to explore if that's what they're into. Because to me, it's, you know, just because somebody is saying that type of thing in a sexual environment, I don't feel like that necessarily reflects real life. You know what I mean? Like just because they want to, I don't know. Like some sometimes that type of thing can be hot. Sometimes some girls probably are like, hell no, there's no way in hell I'm gonna let a guy say things like that to me. But I don't know. I feel like a lot of the time it's it's harmless. And a lot of time it's just that they've seen those things happen. So they just want to like reenact it. And then they discover, okay, it wasn't as great as I thought it was gonna be. So I don't know. Like it's something that I'm kind of open to to a certain extent, as long as I don't feel like completely disrespected, you know, as long as it's just like in the bedroom or whatever. I don't know. I I do feel like you kind of have to have uh the right mindset to be able to do that type of thing, though. Because I feel like a lot of ladies would just not handle that well, if that makes sense.
Nosy NeighborBasically, what I'm reading between the lines is be respectful, be open and honest, and communicate when you're negotiating, hey, this is kind of something I want, but also realize that this isn't reality in many ways. This is you're living out a fantasy, you're living out an escape and communicate that this is what I want. This isn't how you would normally treat a woman, but you're here to kind of escape from that reality and have this new kind of reality, and so as long as you're communicating with it, you're relatively open, but be respectful.
April DiamondExactly. Yep, perfect.
