The Hot Spot: Staying Safe as an Escort

Every escort should be able work in complete safety. This job can be a dicey business, when you are meeting strangers, sometimes in a location you've not been to before. Prior to accepting a booking, I always like to have a chat via phone, text, or email with the client to see what services they are after and also to get a feel of their personality. If they try to push the levels of what I offer, I politely decline, as I don't wish to get into a situation once I'm alone with them. I will not answer private numbers as I need to be able to have a contact number should I end up running late or if something goes awry. 

Confirm a booking

I always confirm the morning of or a couple of hours before the time of the booking. I send a text before I leave. If they don't reply or confirm, then I don't do it. The last thing you want is to go somewhere and be stranded if someone doesn't answer. I've actually gone to hotels where a client has given me a fake room number, or I've knocked on the door and it wasn't them. Hence why now I'm more vigilant. Ask them to send the booking confirmation of the hotel if you have doubts.

Let someone know where you are

It is vital that you have someone who knows where you are going to be at all times and who you can contact in an emergency. A good idea is to have them added to your favourites, so when you open your contacts, they're at the top. You could also give them a missed call before you go into the booking, so that their number is at the top of your call log. I have a driver, which helps me to be more relaxed on bookings, knowing that there is someone waiting for me outside, especially if I'm seeing a client for the first time. 

Consider having a driver

If I'm sceptical about a client, I mention that I have a driver. If they are Okay with it, I generally take the booking. You can enquire about driver services should you fancy employing one at www.Adultwork.com/otherservices/drivers. I tend not to do threesomes or moresomes with people I've never met. I would rather have escorted them first or at least had a chat to make sure I'm comfortable. I would only ever do this service in a hotel or a controlled environment such as a sex party or club, just to be on the safe side.

Keep defence spray handy

I have a defence spray, which is completely legal in the UK, called Farbgel. It is small enough to fit into your pocket or handbag. It has no toxins or harmful chemicals in it and can be sprayed up to a 4m distance. The main function of it is to disorient and confuse, giving you time to get away or call for help. It is also instrumental in catching and prosecuting criminals as it dyes the assailants face red for several days. 

This spray would be particularly useful for those of you who do car meets. I, personally, don't see people who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, but if you are someone that does, then this would be handy to have in your bag should they get unruly. You can get yours from www.farbgel.com for £7.99. 

Luckily, I've not used mine yet! I think from doing this job for so long I'm good at using my intuition when speaking to clients. If you are an escort who does incalls from her own home, I would definitely screen clients more thoroughly. Also beef up security with extra locks on the doors, an alarm and security lights. The worst may never happen, but it's best to protect yourself and your property.

Don't accept violence or rudeness

If someone slips through the net and is violent or rude, you can report them on an app which you can download for free on your phone. It also lets you enter a client's number to see if anything comes up about them if you are wary. Click on here https://clienteye.com for more information.

My motto though is: “Trust your gut!” If you think there is something off, then don't do it!

A tough topic to discuss, but in this and my forthcoming blogs I want to give information and my experiences about all sides of escorting, not just the glamorous side. Signing off until next time. Remember we are unique, and we matter. Take care of yourselves

and each other.
