How dangerous is escorting?

[boomer23]

I live in a very rural area, but travel on occasion to large cities on business. these trips are the only chances I get to meet TG's. Because of this, I use escorts found through sites such as Eros, Backpage, and TER. I have had some good experiences and some that are not so good. I have never had any trouble, but everyone needs to understand there are risks involved.

No, not one. I would tell you if there were, as a dangerous story is a good story and I'm not one to pass up on telling a good story.

Not a single escorting- related incident that you would consider dangerous?

Jaimie is on the money. As I said before, done this for 12 years. And I also think it is hard for someone not in the biz to speak on it. But, that is what forums are for, so we will read on.

Sounds a lot like hubris, no? There are countless incidents of rape, theft and murders where prostitutes are the victims; of streetwalkers and those who operate indoors. You cannot be certain of your clients (other people in general). At least be honest that the occupational hazard is high in spite of your untarnished records.

while of course there are risks involved there are things that you can do to minimize the chances of them happening.my last scare was about a year ago (before that it had been quite awhile in which i had any incidents).i had a "client" (in parenthesis cause he had no intentions of paying) pull a knife out on me.i was always a very careful girl who can read people pretty well.i never really had a high incident count but clearly a few tweaks on how i operate could still be made.here are some of the additional changes that i put into affect a year ago:
-i now try to avoid doing incalls out of hotels that have exterior rooms (rooms in which you go straight from the parking lot to the room without having to pass through a lobby). i now feel overly exposed and to accessible in such buildings.
-i dont see clients after midnight
-i only see young clients during the daylight hours
-i dont accept appointments from guys who use an excessive amount of slang.infact i hang up on quite allot of guys because of this.when they start off the conversation with "whats good ma?" the dial tone immediately follows lol
-i no longer do half hour appointments.if you cant afford an hour than chances are your not the type of clientele i want.
-i try to have a friend around while working.so when im doing outcalls my friend waits in the lobby or in their car in the parking lot.or when im doing outcalls my friend waits outside from a discreet but close enough distance.
-i also keep a 'dont pick up' list in my phone.if a client flakes or is weird i put them on said list and no longer accept their phone calls.


due to these rules ive set for myself i havent had any real negative experiences.i recently saw one guy who was a bit weird and a little to gruff.my friend was also a bit creeped out by the neighborhood (apparently allot of moving shadows and people creeping about).so while he was respectful he's now on my list of calls i dont accept

The potential for wackos is a lot higher in a country that can boast an unsavorily-high population 65 times that of Norway's, I suppose. Precautions are good. Some GGs I have visited had male or female friends in a different room in case of incident. Wouldn't help if they were assaulted by a group of 2 or 3 males either way.

The whole World is wacko right now so its better be safe than sorry.

I've suffered grease burns and theft in fast food, layoffs in survey taking, fights with other employees as a CSR, cuts and bruises on construction sites... hell, my brother just lost an arm on his way to a job site as an electrician. All lines of work carry there own inherent risks... worst thing that has ever happened to me during my time as an escort was that I had to spend about an hour with someone who I would not normally hang out with during my free time. Best job I've ever had short of video editing. Horror stories are not a prerequisite or even an eventuality for holding down unconventional jobs. I know what the risks are and I have refined my own set of techniques and defenses against them to great effect. I'm not bragging about some sort of amazing success, only describing the outcome of my approach towards this particular line of work. Not hubris, just a report from the front lines of my own individual experience.

As long as you acknowledge their being your individual experiences that cannot be extrapolated as empirical evidence detailing on intrinstic risks pertinent to the alleged oldest profession in the history of history, it's fine. I like and respect your approach and wish you continued success.

On an unrelated note, there's the occasional occurrence where I wish I was an American, and when visiting this site it's usually when I see your signature picture. It's an ambivalent thought process, because it also reminds me of how simple I am. Asexuality might be a blessing.

High Risk = High Reward... Just ask Junior Seau. Oh wait, you cant, After repeated head injuries he ended up with a medical condition that caused the NFL Hall of famer to have a depressive episode where he murdered his girlfriend and take his own life.

I'm not advocating one way or another, just pointing out that no matter what the field a person chooses to work in High Risk = High Reward...
