Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about hiring a companion.

01What is an Escort?

An escort is a professional whose occupation is to entertain or accompany a person in exchange for money or something of value, an escort can be male or female. An escort may be employed hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or even annually in some instances, some duties of an escort are to accompany a person to a social function, vacation, movie, shopping, conversation or just general social interaction.

02What to expect when hiring an escort?

As with all things in life each experience will be different and will depend on many factors including but not limited to, expectations, chemistry, age difference, environment, appearance, hygiene, cost, experience and initial contact and conversation. It is best to schedule a brief introductory meeting at a bar or coffee shop where you can introduce yourselves to determine if a match is present, committing to a large financial sum or time frame prior to getting to know one another is not prudent. Spending time with someone you do not like or who does not like you will not be enjoyable and will completely defeat the purpose.

03What not to expect when hiring an escort?

You should not expect any physical affection, sex or any kind of sexual stimulation as a result of the hire. Is it possible that there is a spark between two consenting adults that do as they please in private? Of course, it is, but that is completely dependent upon the two or more of you and the exchange of money is for time and attention not sex. The exchange of money or anything for that matter in exchange for any form of sexual gratification is prostitution which is illegal and forbidden in almost every jurisdiction of the United States. Should you pursue or attempt to pursue any kind of sexual gratification with an unwilling person you may find yourself in legal trouble as a result of your actions.

04Where to meet an escort?

Typically, you will discuss and agree on a meeting place ahead of time, we strongly suggest that your initial meeting take place in a public place for the safety of you both. There is always the chance that one of you has nefarious intentions and to protect against that at least initially a public place mitigates some of the risk associated with you meeting one another for the first time.

05What is Human Trafficking, and do I need to worry?

Human trafficking is a real concern and surfaces in many forms, it is defined by the Department of Homeland Security as: "Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act."

While this definition seems to be simple and straightforward it is important you protect yourself as law enforcement agencies have taken liberty in application and interpretation of the meaning of "Human Trafficking".

An effective way to protect yourself from being caught up in anything related to Human Trafficking is outright ask if trafficking is taking place and stay alert for signs of someone being forced or coerced into spending time with you. Some tell tale signs are extreme drug use, bruising or signs of trauma, fear or shame on behalf of the provider, lack of control of surroundings — are they driven to you and does someone wait to pick them up, this could be a safety measure, but it could also be a method of control.

In any case when in doubt act on your intuition and keep your fellow humans safe and free of modern-day slavery.

07What does it cost to spend time with an escort?

The range for a companion's time can vary drastically between different providers and depend on things like:

– Length of time in the industry – Quality of service – Level of education – Length of stay – most will offer reduced rates for extended periods and lengthy commitments – Established repeat business – someone with an established repeat book of business is far less in need of business so their rates may be very high – Location – some companions are local whereas others travel the world at the expense of clients flying first class or via private jet – Type of meeting – your expectations of the meeting will also factor into the cost

There are thousands of other factors that may go into the cost of visiting a professional attendant. It is best to discuss your intentions, needs and wants in your first formal in person meeting. Most will not want to discuss anything aside from the initial meeting and rate of compensation for that meeting during your introductory conversations.

You are essentially hiring someone so do some homework, check reviews and treat the initial meeting as a paid interview to determine if this is a person you'd like to spend time with, get to know and possibly confide in.

08Is meeting an escort safe?

The answer is yes and no, and really there are three parts to this question — physical safety, reputational safety and legal safety.

Physical Safety – As was previously mentioned there are ways to reduce the risk of physical harm by initially meeting in a public place and becoming comfortable with the person greeting you. Do not fool yourself though as with anything in life there are risks and bad actors out there.

Reputational Safety – while you will never mitigate all the risk there are some simple measures that one can take: – Go through an agency with a good reputation – Use a phone app to contact them so information cannot be tied back to you – Uber to and from any meetings to limit personal exposure – Pay only in cash For higher end more professional agencies and independent providers an NDA is often an option. If you are a public figure, only deal with well-known and established agencies.

Legal Safety – this concern is the easiest of the three to deal with. There is nothing illegal about hiring an escort, there is nothing illegal about offering your services as an escort. Where people get into trouble is when they attempt to buy or sell sex, sexual stimulation or sexual gratification. Eliminate the risk by avoiding the topic completely — contract for the time and companionship of a person you hit it off with and see where it goes from there.

09What if I develop feelings?

This is a tricky one and one you really need to take seriously; you also need to understand the pretense you met your companion under.

– The best escorts in the industry are going to make you feel like a million dollars for every moment you are with them, that is the job, and some are exceptionally proficient when it comes to doing their job. – No matter what is said or what you think you heard it is very unlikely your escort is looking for a savior and even if they are, unless you have unlimited funding to fuel their current lifestyle it is very unlikely you'll be able to fill the role. – The best in the business work when they please, earn a 6 to 7 figure salary, and have none of the constraints brought on by a conventional relationship.

The best thing to do is keep things professional and should you find yourself developing feelings take a break from seeing one another until the feelings subside or you are specifically and directly told otherwise. An escort is a professional whose job it is to make you feel special — do not read into it more than you should.

10Agency vs. Independent?

There are many factors that you must consider when answering this question for yourself.

Safety: Agency – when dealing with a reputable agency you can have an expectation of safety as they are not a single person that can just post a new ad and be a completely different person in a matter of minutes. Independent – depending on the introduction this can be a very reckless way to meet someone for the purposes of escorting. Should you take this route be sure to take some or all the precautions previously discussed.

Experience: Agency – your experience has many factors that can and cannot be accounted for but at least with an agency you can build a relationship where they know your needs and they know their staff. You also have recourse when you have a bad encounter. Independent – you may absolutely pick a winner and have the most memorable experience of your life, or you may pick a loser — it's a gamble.

Cost: Agency – an agency will typically have a set rate; rarely will the cost be much greater with an agency as they can provide steady reliable income stream for providers. Independent – you may agree to one rate and come to find out that that rate no longer applies — the person you are meeting with has no one to answer to.

Reputation: Agency – your verification documentation will remain private and not be shared with the provider for the reputation and safety of the agency and yourself. Independent – once again it is a complete gamble; if they verify then they already have complete access to all the information you provided them.

All in all, be a decent person, treat others with respect, be clear about your intentions and expectations, don't try to rush things, meet in person to get to know one another and remember you are contracting and compensating for time and companionship — nothing more.
