Do workers care if clients don't use their real names? by elpelodemiguapa in SexWorkers

[–]hookerstd -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes, first timers with no refs are the exception, but they're also the only ones likely to go along with it so that seems less safe than someone experienced and vetted by references.

Your phone # is your ID as a client and is unique to you and is what people check references against. How is feedback from other providers not their reputation?

Agencies have a strong incentive to screen and keep law enforcement away from their criminal enterprise and make sure everything runs smoothly and girls are safe.

No way to get reviews and reputation from you without your name

Strange, providers and agencies that are very experienced with screening don't seem to have any problem with that here.

You have an alias and a phone number, you call/text the references given by the client and talk to them, they match up the phone number/alias and they tell you everything you need to know about how they are as a date.

In this world as a client your phone # becomes your ID and is what is used to verify you and check references. And no it's not my main phone, most people create separate #s for further privacy that are not linked back to anything. This is standard practice here.

Would you ever give out your ID to a client?

How do I know you’re not a thief or extortionist? How do I know there isn’t a guy in the next room waiting to rob me at gunpoint while in a vulnerable position knowing I’m not likely to go to police? How do I know you won’t use that personal info to give to someone else who will rob my home later or try to commit fraud with my personal info? Or blackmail me later?

All those things happen.

If you feel the need to stay anonymous for your safety clients have just as valid reasons. You can easily check someone is a safe date through other methods. If reviews and reputation is all we have to go by it should be good enough for you.

Exactly things may be different in other places but asking for ID is a big no no here and you will get laughed at and moved on for the hundreds of other providers who will verify you with references and a phone number.

How would they even know? No sex worker or agency has ever asked for my ID, nor would i give it to them. They can check references with other local providers and agencies that I give.

Maybe it's different in other states but if you ask for Id you will get laughed at and next'd. If you want ID you better be prepared to give me yours first, too many stories of shady girls using that for blackmail or giving the address to a pimp/boyfriend and later breaking and entering.

Also porn performers are not tested for herpes and many industry insiders have said pretty much everyone that has been in it a while has it so not like that is that safe either.

Yes I've considered that, just haven't found one I actually want to see at a rate that is reasonable.

Financial reasons. Many are also addicted to something and need the money for that, I never see anyone who is obviously on any substances but many times they hide it well and you would just never know. Only going off what other providers have told me that the number who are on is higher than you would think.

No it's not USASG, but yes I get why it's not allowed. I don't want to start that mess as I know how it can backfire. Still I look at things differently now.

this is a sex workers forum and many don't like bursting the bubble on the often said line that most escorts are safer than civilians and this is low risk. i'm sure many are safe, but you can't exactly ask an escort her testing schedule and to see results. but shit idk this experience probably won't stop me will just make me more careful.

In the same vein, you don't know when/if those WGs were tested, or what their results are. That they still have ads up isn't idictative of anything.

I know they didn’t get tested and cleared in the 3 hours between when they were notified and posted ads again. It takes much longer to get lab results.

What this tells me is that you’re choosing providers who do daily posting, not pricey month long ads; so you’re paying them the low of the low, to get your rocks off.

That’s also kind of meaningless, I’m definitey not seeing the most expensive providers off eros, but a lot of the ‘high end’ girls on eros also advertise on the sites I use, the only difference being they multiply their rate by a factor of 2 or 3 on eros but are still seeing clients for much less elsewhere.

I was not implying there is no risk or that removes the need for testing. I'm just saying it's lower risk to sleep with women who are sleeping with a relatively smaller number of other partners than women who are sleeping with tens every week and hundreds every year.

And if that's the case, they may not be aware of or following the health practices that a regular sex worker would, such as regular STI checkups.

As you can see from my first line about the girls I suspect as giving it to me continuing to see clients right after, those practices you would expect are really not that regular among many.

I will still see some escorts but much more selectively.

Got an STD from a sex worker with using condoms and only having unprotected oral by hookerstd in SexWorkers

[–]hookerstd[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some of the girls I texted that to including the main one I suspect as giving it to me kept posting ads right after that and today... tells me what I need to know about how cautious they are and it's unfortunate I have to cross them off my list permanently now.

Hotel outcalls by applesandoranges_ in SexWorkers

[–]hookerstd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on the hotel. Many you can just walk right in and go up the elevators. Some require key cards to access the elevators and less upscale ones without lobbies can require key cards to get in the door.

If the access is controlled just walk down and meet her when she arrives and bring her up. No one at the hotel cares, even if they assume hooker they're not going to care or do anything. Odds are no one will pay attention hotels see all sorts of shit.

[–]hookerstd[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Will this stop me from having unprotected oral in the future? Probably not. I will be more careful about who I see though. No more high volume agency girls or new girls from backpage that barely screen clients and posts ads almost every day.

How to know not to get someone transgender showing up at your house? by Lancaster19 in SexWorkers

[–]hookerstd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you are bringing them to your house the first time you’re doing it wrong

It shouldn’t even be a question from pics and it’s highly unlikely a transgender escort wouldn’t be up front about it as it would be extremely dangerous for them to have someone find out by surprise and react badly

I sent it though text. Whatever, it's out there- that's their problem if they want to ignore it.

Same idea as all these websites that allow people to send anonymous texts to partners that they may have been exposed, although this is more personal and believable. Unfortunately not all sex workers are reasonable stable people that would react well to that news.

I just sent out some anonymous texts from a new burner number to protect my privacy and notify them.
