From what i've read/heard. In the U.S. at least, police are largely not concerned with this stuff unless it's tied to other crimes like drugs and human trafficking. It otherwise isn't worth their limited time and resources. Especially now days that it's moved online and isn't a provider on the street in public (which can tie to public indecency and what not) like it used to be back in the day. Unless there's some new Satanic Panic around sex work, there's not going to be enough public pressure for government/police to want to go after that many random individuals. Kinda the same as before Weed got legalized, they'd go after you if you were being stupid/obvious about it or were selling/buying alongside more illicit drugs but they never had the time or money to go after every random stoner/dealer who didn't do anything else wrong.

Some similar discussion from 2020...
The instances of it happening are few and far between.
I'd be most concerned if working at or patronizing a massage parlor posing as a front for happy endings with illegal labor, as those employees are the most vulnerable group and public opinion frowns on taking advantage of these vulnerable groups of people for sex.
I'm less worried about hiring a man who advertises independently, as society is more apt to let two consenting adults do whatever they agree to. 
I mention societal acceptance, because that is important when it comes to how elected officials prioritize enforcement and how a jury may perceive your case.
 

I just use my real phone/number. When i was new to hiring, i got a lot of "i ignore Google Voice/VOIP numbers". And i also saw/knew providers generally aren't using encrypted apps like Signal because most of them either still require a real number or it's so secure/encrypted that everyone has to be using the same app because it doesn't support SMS (like Signal now). So eventually i gave up and just started using my real number. But the Burner app mentioned in this thread sounds promising. I might give that a go as my go to for new providers and then save my real number for trusted regulars.

There are plenty of “masseurs” who advertise on RM without offering full sex. Many state “Ask Me” as the position and don’t include anal in the things they’re into. Discreetly state in your text that you don’t fuck (however you want to say it) but do put what you’re willing to do (blow, kiss, rim) down below. I won’t generally hire an escort who won’t get fucked, but sometimes eating out a beautiful ass is more than enough. Give your future clients enough to make an informed decision.
 
PS: that holds true for all service providers. If you’re tired of “time wasters,” give enough information so we can weed ourselves out. 

Fuck, I love edging. Feeling a well-slicked cock swell and throb in my mouth before tasting that wave of precum right before release, and then backing off for the umpteenth time… these are the moments worth living for. 

You'd be surprised what some people will pay. If he's charging that, it's cause people are paying it. I worked with one provider who i actually ended up vibing well with and we hung out for a couple hours after our session. He told me a story about a celebrity who hired him and gave him 10k for spending a week with him. There for sure are guys operating on the very high end of this stuff. It made me feel like such a peasant in the moment 😂

The new age verification rules in parts of the US, the UK and the EU are surely taking a toll on OnlyFans revenue for a lot of creators/providers.
