A professional escort with over a decade of experience has lifted the lid on the subtle and sometimes surprisingly obvious signs men give off when they’re cheating on their partners.
Elizabeth Romanov, who began escorting at 18 and is now in her early 30s, says she’s become adept at spotting the red flags of infidelity, even if her clients never admit they’re attached.
Elizabeth, based in Northamptonshire, doesn’t go out of her way to ask if the men she sees are married or in relationships.

Still, over the years, a pattern has emerged. Some giveaways are glaring, like a wedding ring or a nervous reluctance to linger after a booking. But others, she says, are far more nuanced.
“A lot of the time, the signs are there before the date even starts,” she explained. “One of the first things I notice is if a client brings a change of clothes. It’s always a clue.
They’ll arrive wearing something ordinary, then switch into different clothes for our time together and change back again before they leave. It’s clearly to avoid taking any trace of me home with them. Things like perfume or even just the feel of different fabric can raise questions if someone’s paying close attention.”
According to Elizabeth, sudden changes in a partner’s schedule can also hint at something more than just busy work life.
Many of her clients claim they’re at work events or handling unexpected meetings a convenient excuse that covers up the real reason they’re unavailable. But often, she says, they end up revealing more than they mean to.
“Some of them almost confess they’ll tell me they’ve said they’re out for work drinks or stuck in traffic after a last-minute meeting.
Sometimes it’s about easing their own guilt, but other times it’s part of the thrill for them. It plays into the secrecy, the adrenaline of sneaking around. That’s a big part of the appeal.”
Inside the bedroom, the warning signs can be even more telling. Elizabeth said clients who are overly cautious about physical evidence often raise red flags.
“They’ll ask me not to leave any marks, even in places that would usually be hidden,” she said. “No scratches, no lipstick smudges, nothing that might accidentally reveal where they’ve been.
It’s a small detail, but when someone’s constantly checking that they look untouched that usually means someone’s waiting for them at home.”
But her job isn’t just about sex. Elizabeth also acts as a confidante for many men who, she says, are emotionally disconnected from their partners. Their need for intimacy isn’t just physical it’s rooted in something deeper.
“Some clients open up to me like I’m their therapist. They’ll tell me they don’t feel seen or heard at home, that the spark’s gone, or that they feel lonely in their relationship,” she said. “When someone starts pulling away emotionally from their partner, that’s often the first step.”
Yet, interestingly, she’s noticed that not all men who cheat become cold and distant in their relationships. In fact, some show the opposite behavior.
“I’ve seen clients who, after seeing me or someone else, go back home and seem more sexually energised,” she said. “They’re suddenly more adventurous with their partners, eager to try new things.
It can go both ways some men cheat because they feel emotionally starved, and others because they’re bored and chasing novelty.”
Another shift that often raises eyebrows is how clients treat their phones. According to Elizabeth, a sudden obsession with phone privacy can be a massive clue that something’s off.
“There’s a noticeable change in how secretive they are,” she said. “I’ll get messages from someone and then later find they’ve deleted them so their partner won’t see.
Others will say things like ‘Don’t message me at this time’ or ‘Use a different number’ depending on where they are. If your partner suddenly changes their passcode, starts taking calls in another room, or acts weird when you pick up their phone that’s rarely a coincidence.”
While Elizabeth is fully aware that many of the men she sees are likely in committed relationships, she doesn’t feel it’s her place to pry or judge.
“People come to me for all kinds of reasons, and I don’t ask questions,” she said. “Some are looking for physical satisfaction, some for emotional support, and others just want to be seen and heard without judgment. That’s not for me to police.”
Despite the taboos surrounding her profession, Elizabeth says she’s found freedom and purpose in her work. While she often travels internationally with recent trips taking her as far as Dubai it’s the autonomy and flexibility that she values most.
“I was always fascinated by the art of seduction and the idea of true companionship,” she said. “Over time, I realised I had something more to offer than just looks it’s about energy, presence, and the ability to make people feel truly seen. That’s what keeps clients coming back.”
Elizabeth supplements her income through webcamming and also uses platforms like Vivastreet to advertise her services. For her, escorting is more than just a job it’s a career she’s chosen and proudly owns.
And in an era where creators on subscription sites like OnlyFans compete for a tiny slice of the financial pie with a recent Supercreator survey showing that the top 0.001% make $300,000 per month while most earn far less sex work in its more traditional forms remains one of the few spaces where autonomy and income can meet.
“I love what I do,” Elizabeth said simply. “It gives me freedom, control, and a sense of purpose. I don’t see myself doing anything else.”
