Amy Wilde charges £500 an hour to laugh at men.
At one particular part of them, anyway.
The 25-year-old Londoner works as a self-employed dominatrix, and her speciality is mocking wealthy clients for having “tiny penises”.
She takes bookings when she feels like it and says she never gets out of bed for less than she deserves.
“My clients love it when I laugh at them for having a little penis,” Amy said, as reported by Creatorzine.
“They have to do whatever I say.”
From waitress to £500 an hour
Not long ago, Amy waited tables for minimum wage.
The National Living Wage for over-21s now sits at £12.71 an hour, or £508.40 for a 40-hour week.
Her hourly rate falls £8.40 short of that. Before extras.
“When I first started out, I only charged £110 per hour but right now, it’s £500 for my time – and that’s if they don’t ask for any extras,” she said.
She sees more overlap with her old job than you might expect.
“This job is quite similar – you just have to be a bit more outgoing.”
Amy, who has more than 78,000 followers on Instagram at @amyywilde1, has little patience for the traditional career ladder.
“I feel bad for people my age who can’t even get a job interview for a normal 9 to 5, if only they knew how easy it can be.”
Nice first, then on your knees
Every session follows the same switch.
She takes the money, sends the client to shower, and changes character while the water runs.
“I’m really nice [before the session begins],” she said.
“They’ll give me the money and then I’m like, ‘Go get in the shower.’
“While they’re in the shower, I’ll switch to ‘Okay, get on your knees. Kiss my feet’.
“It’s pretty easy and quite fun – for me at least.”
Amy insists she stays professional, though she admits some clients catch her eye.
“When they leave, I’ll text them and say, ‘Hey babe, if you ever want to book again, just let me know.
I’ll make time for you, don’t worry, I’m available anytime.’”
Customer retention, of a sort.
Dogs, cages and stressed executives
Humiliation is only one item on the menu. Some clients want to become pets for an hour.
“A lot of them like to pretend to be dogs – but that tends to be people who have high-profile jobs or a lot of stress,” she said.
“They just want to turn their brains off.”
Others hand over something more personal.
Amy locks their penises in chastity cages, keeps the keys and decides how long they stay on.
The quiet life off the clock
The dominatrix clocks off when the client leaves. Away from work, Amy describes herself as quiet and independent.
“For work I have to be a bit more extroverted. In my personal life, not so much,” she said.
“I’m quieter in person and not quite as hyperactive, I just enjoy my own company.”
Why It Matters
Amy runs her business like any creator. Instagram works as the shopfront, demand sets the price and her mood sets the hours.
Her rate has more than quadrupled since she started, and she sets every penny of it herself.
That pitch of flexible hours and no boss will sound tempting to young people struggling to land entry-level work, even if most would pass on the job itself.
Adult-adjacent creators increasingly use mainstream platforms to build a following and steer it towards paid, offline work, while staying inside the platforms’ content rules.
Amy went from £110 to £500 an hour. Where her rate goes next depends on demand, and on whether she feels like getting out of bed.
