    Default Independent Escort Collectives

    So I've noticed a few indy escort collectives popping up. I assume they are basically the perks of working with an agency but with the benefits of being independent. Anyone have any experience working with one? What are they like? How are they different from agencies? What are their business models like?

    In my younger days I worked in a collective in NY. Not again...not with them anyway. The guy who owned the house tried to have sex w me. While he didn't push when I said no I felt uneasy every moment thereafter. Some girls are nice but easily turn jealous. If you can't handle different attitudes...don't do it. And Even if you're independent you still don't keep your $ because you have to chip in for rent, supplies, etc...

    Never heard of this so naturally I'm fascinated. What role does a dude play in all that? Why is it called a collective?

    I'm assuming you mean in Canada, where the laws are different than in US?

    Sorry to hear about the male owner, what a creep! Sounds a lot like an agency, of which I've worked at a few. Except the money is just broken down into different expenses instead of a flat percentage?

    There's four collectives that I know of in Canada, one that is high end and been around for years, the other three I believe are all new. I have no idea how they differ from an agency, where all girls legally have to be independent contractors and not employees. I'm guessing that the business model is different from collective to collective too - but how does it benefit an independent escort who say, does her own advertising? Do they take care of bookings/screening, do they really bring in more clients? What are their fees like? - all questions I'd like answers to.

    The ones I know of have twitter accounts and promote the girls, at least one of them has a condo incall for the girls to share. Just curious about more of the details.

    Currently, the main differences in law is that in Canada, prostitution/escorting is legal, incall/outcall is legal. What isn't legal is "living off the avails" and most recently, public advertising. Since the new Bill C36, agencies have started emphasizing that they represent independent contrators on their website, stopped posting services lists and nude/explicit photos of escorts they represent. It wouldn't surprise me if the new collectives are in part a way to offer administrative and other support while skirting around the new laws.

    Idk y its called a collective but its basically renting a room with other workers. While a said cut isn't taken out of your $ you will be expected to pitch in for rent, supplies, etc. Sometimes they'll help w $ for outfits and ads but if they do you better believe those expenses are on credit.
