    Default finally picked an agency, still concerned about LE

    I posted a thread recently about an agency I was interested in now being gone, or..on vacation? Since then I did more research on TER and browsed Eros, and found one I'm comfortable with. Escorting is something I've been curious about for a couple of years but dancing and fetish clips have kept me busy and pretty satisfied. I've decided on an agency because I don't plan on doing this long term (not for now anyway), and don't want to invest time and money on making a site and establishing clientele if I'm only going to give this a go for a couple of months. Anyway, since the agency I'd originally decided on is gone, I'm still worried about LE. This agency seems reputable, has good reviews, and has been around for a while. Have any other ladies experienced this kind of concern when they first started? If yes, how did you get over it? I mean, I know not to be conspicuous and stuff, I think it's just me being a beginner that's making me feel like this, and that a whole friggin agency just disappeared

    Hi Twist,

    Working through an agency is a good way to get your feet wet especially if you're planning on just a short run. A lot of the smaller companies do come and go, so, if they've been in business for a while, treat the girls fairly, and have a decent reputation those're good signs. Main concern would be screening. I got lucky in that I started with an agency where the booker actually gave a damn and looked out for the girls. When she left, the owner would send girls on random calls without screening which resulted in a couple bad incidents.

    Make sure that your agency has a safety protocol in place and learn about screening for yourself in case your booker isn't available, etc. As far as concerns about LE or crazies, it never goes away -- not for me at least, this is risky business -- and you don't ever want to be complacent. Make sure that you learn as much as you can about danger signs and pay attention to your instinct. If something feels off, it's better to refuse the call and lose a little money than pay with your safety or freedom.

    Thanks so much, that definitely made me feel better. I know there are always risks, but the irrational part of my mind is like, If you were with a GOOD agency you'd feel safe.
    It's frustrating because there are no agency review boards for escorts, and telling someone about the agency you work with might not be the smartest thing to do, you have to go by whatever research you can do.

    Well, so far so good. I got some nice photos coming my way and most of my questions were answered by the company. :Crosses fingers:

    Okay, if you have read my posts lately, you know I'm a new Indie and getting Pissed at the idiots I'm encountering. So, Im seriously thinking of finding an agency too. It just seems that it would be a wise choice for me, since I'm such a newbie at this and Disrespectful jerks keep slipping through my screening methods. So, Im finding this thread rather useful. Twistandturn, you say you found ur agency on Ero's? I guess I'm going to look that up and see what I find in my area. Keep us posted on how everything turns out! And do U know of any OTHER ways to find a great agency that is well established and screens thoroughly? I have to do something different soon. LOL

    I feel bad that I never posted an update!

    2 things happened and I didn't even start yet ! Ugh. The photographer, who already knew I was going to be using the photos for a website and for "personal use" decided to ask me what website I was using them for or if I had my own site. He knew since the beginning I planned on using them for adult work but all of a sudden changed his mind and said he wasn't comfortable with it bla bla. After several frustrating semi lecturing emails (from his part) he offered a refund in exchange for me not using them. I'm so confused. I didn't say, of course, that they were for escorting, just general adult work. All I can think of is that he's religious or that he's not shooting "sexy" stuff anymore and is paranoid.

    Anyway, I started browsing here for other photographers, almost decided on one (Aldo Antonio? But I read on another thread that everyone's shot with him lol) I got the worst flu of my life for over a week. Started to feel like maybe this is a sign, so I ended up stripping at my friendly dive club for a few days. The agency totally thinks I chickened out or I'm a flake even though I said I was too sick to work Really want to bang my head against the wall at this point, but luckily I saw other cool options on Eros.

    I was reading other stuff about hotel etiquette and realized I'm more clueless than I thought! How do you tip hotel staff? Do you just leave it out or hand it to them..? I've only ever stayed in motels while traveling so I don't want to have to ask anyone while I'm already in a hotel.

    What I've been doing is having a guy friend call or email agencies under a fake name and vague hotel/street name, and he reports back to me on what they may ask him. (Do they ask his employment info? His real name? Do they require that I would ID him at the door?).

    Honestly, all my research so far on agencies in my city are LAUGHABLE. I had a guy email, with a fake name, and they EMAILED back and said, "We have ___ and ___ available for that time, please email us to confirm and we will send them out." THAT IS IT. Ugh. So many shady agencies, don't understand why they won't use intact screening methods!! For the time being I'm just UTR from referrals from a retired escort, I don't want to be high volume anyway but it just disgusts me on how lazy these agencies are on protecting their girls!
