Not sure if you're still answering questions (I'm not in the US), but hey, it's worth a shot.
1. How has having sex in a profesional setting changed your private life? Both in and out of bed, so to speak.
2. How did your family react when you revealed to them your choice of career?

So this question I've asked in multiple AMA's, but never really gotten any answer to.
As you're probably well aware of, all professions change you in some way, whether that's an inability not to purposely steer conversations on the phone (Customer support reps), a particular way you approach problems (Developers), or something different entirely.
If or when you decide to work in a different industry, what little bad habits would you be taking with you?
Secondly, if you were to stay in this industry the rest of your working life, what's your career outlook like, or in other words, how do you plan your future?*
* If you do, not everyone does to the extent I'm referring to of course.

Hey James! A couple of years ago someone shoved a bottle of My Name is Ingrid
under my nose, and I've been hooked ever since. Unfortunately, My Name is Ingrid was a special.
Which of your beers would you recommend in its stead?

As someone else said, sorry you aren't getting any response.
With that said, acquiring clients work the same way in any industry, whatever it is you do. You got to network, network, and network. In other words, talk to people.
Bring it up, and ask (yes, straight-out ask) for clients publicly on whatever social media you use. Create a simple website, buy some cheap business cards, and start handing them out whenever appropriate. At least that's how I got started when I freelanced (albeit in another industry altogether).
It'll take time, and lots of effort, but that's life, I'm afraid.
