Keep in mind it's not as easy as it sounds. You need to be able to work with all types of clients even if you aren't attracted to them. Also consider your personal safety, not only sexually (STDs) but also clients that might decide to be violent. As others have said you also need to be able to provide a fantasy for the client.

Thank you for saying this. Too many times I have a client say they feel they are entitled to "this or that" just because they paid. Paying doesn't give you full control of my body, it gives you the time to spend with me and whatever we agree upon during that time.

It depends on the provider. Some providers have other jobs, some providers don't want their families to know so they go by a pseudonym. Keep in mind that providers are performers/entertainers providing a fantasy for their clients. Knowing their real name and knowing more about them could kill the fantasy.

Make it clear with the provider prior to the session that it's something you'd like. With that said setting the appointment at least a day before might be best to make sure he hasn't seen anyone else that day.

There used to be a meetup during MAL weekend (MLK Weekend) in DC. It's sort of fallen apart. It would be great to do that again. Keenan

It's still a thing, not a prevalent as was in the past but depending on the city you can still find it. Less with male escorts though. My guess is the Internet like everything else killed it in many ways. Keenan

There is Kew Motor Inn which is hourly. I've met clients there before, the themed rooms help add to the experience. Kew Motor Inn | Exotic Queens Hotel Rooms in NYC | New York City Motel Rooms KEWMOTORINN.COM

Many of the things you mentioned held true in my younger years as an escort. Being naive I didn't properly screen and didn't take proper precautions. I dealt with everything from aggressive clients who had weapons or were on drugs to being raped to being held against my will. Also not using PrEP in my younger years and taking clients bare I did deal with some STDs, luckily nothing that couldn't be resolved. This work is definitely physically, emotionally and mentally draining. Luckily after my family found out I was doing adult work, also stripping and adult videos, they have been supportive, even somewhat protective.

I'm available in that area. Vers.

I'd actually say quite the contrary. If you are visiting a providers profile and they see it then it could show interest. Rather than "lurk" let them know you have interest in them and you'd like to know when they are coming to your area.

If I'm at my day job or around other people I know I typically won't answer the phone. Personally I prefer that the client text or email me to setup the appointment and then afterwards we can talk prior to the appointment if necessary.

Have you asked the provider before he shows up to see you or do you ask when he arrives? If you aren't asking before the appointment that might be one issue. Also some providers might want to provide their own clothing for the appointment rather than wear something someone provides. Just make sure you ask about special outfit requests prior to the appointment and make sure they are clear.

Just be smart about how you respond. Keep things vague if you can. Never promise that you will do anything keeping in mind that the rate is for your "time". A good client will understand your responses. It depends on where you live how concerned law enforcement is but in more liberal states like NY, Maryland, etc... as long as you are smart about what you are doing they are more concerned about other types of crime.

Typically I say within 45 minutes to an hour but it depends on where you live. If I have to drive any over that I'll charge extra travel fee to help cover gas costs.

Here are the details. It's happening at Crush, a dance club/bar in DC. That bar doesn't have an adult entertainment license so my guess is they might be able to get a license for one time use. Not really sure how that will work. Tickets went on sale on eventbrite.com and apparently are sold out now for March 15th.

Anyone interested in helping setup a meetup in DC the weekend of January 10-13th which is the same weekend as MAL. Some people on here must be attending. If you have interest please respond and whether you are a provider or client. I have some ideas if we have enough that want to attend. Keenan

Yes dancers must stay on the bar. If they want to take a break they must go to the changing room. There are no lap dances. I mean I guess customers could discretely include a phone number on a bill if they wanted too but the best thing to do if really wanting to try anything with a dancer is wait until after the shift and meet them outside.

So from what I see here it sounds like to you an escort is more of an object in the end than a person to you. Keep in mind that escorts have feelings and are providing a service and are much more than an object. I know many see us with one thing in mind but we are much more than objects.

While robots are great they are still limited in what they can do based on the programming. They need to be able to anticipate the person they are with and be able to empathize which a robot will really never have full capabilities of doing. When I go and see someone who has hired me not only are they paying for my time but they want me to focus on them and be able to understand them. Also a robot doesn't have the same sense of feel that a human does. When it comes to sexual activity the person who has hired me wants to also know how I'm feeling. With a robot this is limited again based on programming. While these might be great for some people I don't think this will kill the escort industry. Keenan

Yes, dancers on the bar only wear socks and leg garter for collecting tips so it's fully nude. I originally was supposed to go back on October 19th but there has been a change of plans. With that said the goal is for me to make it out there from Baltimore at least once a month moving forward. If October will happen it would be Saturday October 26th. I provided the manager my availability as of now through January so once I have the dates I'll be there I'll share them out here. Keenan

As promised here is my review as a dancer as Lucky's. I got there just a little before 9:30pm. Manager who books the dancers requests dancers there by 9:30pm as they open up the second floor at 10pm and that's when dancers need to be on the bar dancing. While there were a lot of rules for dancers it was actually pretty laid back and some of the rules I think are more there as they need to mention them. Beyond that there were six of us dancing last night, no limit to how many dancers can be on the bar but throughout the night they require a minimum of two dancers on the bar at all times. This means that if a break is to be taken and there are only two dancers on the bar need to wait until someone returns. No limit to how many breaks or how long though of course the more time spent on the bar the more potential to make more tips. Also as far as taking a break, dancers must go upstairs as dancers aren't allowed to mingle with customers while on break. Dancers also are technically only allowed to spend one song with a customer when on the bar, though I think some dancers push that. Dancers work for tips only. Beyond myself who traveled four hours from Baltimore, there was another dancer that made a two hour travel to dance there last night. The night started out slow but picked up towards the middle of the evening. Most of the dancers were in their mid-late 20s or early 30s with the exception of myself and one other dancer but as I learned last night having a variety of dancers makes sure there is something to appeal to all. As I found there were some customers there who were really generous with their tips whenever I made my way around to them. With an older in general my overall feel was that having a mix of older and younger and different body types really helped customers feel more comfortable. Definitely not like Secrets was where the dancers were all muscular or twink. In fact on October 19th they are supposed to be having their bear night which they have every so often. Overall a great night, I enjoyed my time dancing there and assuming all goes well should be back potentially as early as late October or mid-November and at least on a monthly basis. Unless it's a special event they do close at 2am just to clarify an earlier post above. Also yes they do allow smoking and it's cash only. If anyone has any questions please let me know. Keenan

From the view of a provider, there is also trust that goes into the client. This past week I had two appointments scheduled and then twice was ghosted by the client which is time I could've spent with another client. Also to the initial question, this is business for a provider, we aren't giving away our services for free. Yes each client we can bring in and appointment we can book is more money we can make though that doesn't mean we won't treat the client with respect during the time booked. Flip the books, if an provider sees the client as an ATM does the client see the provider as a sexual object for their desires?

So the biggest issue as a provider I see these days is that there are still many clients that want bare services. Turning down those requests mean turning down money as such many providers get on PrEP, myself included. PrEP isn't 100% reliable so there is always risk.

So take 2, after the failed attempt this past Saturday after Lucky's closed unexpectedly for flooding assuming all things go as planned I should be dancing there on Saturday September 21st and then on October 19th. As promised before I will report back on my perspective as a dancer there. Hope that some of you can come out and support. Keenan

Update....Apparently Lucky's got their waterline fixed and they were opened yesterday. Keenan
