Concerns with bringing escort to my condo

[Quincy_7]

So I recently moved into my first condo. At first I was thinking it would be a great way to save on hotel expenses with escorts but now I'm concerned about staying confidential. I've never tried my hands with the buzzer system at the entrance to the building but my impression is that if you know someone's apartment number and dial that into the screen then it shows the name of the resident in that condo. You can obviously see why this would make me apprehensive about bringing an escort over. I'm wondering how other condo dwellers on here have dealt with that issue. Thanks!

meet him downstairs at the street door and use your key card for him to get into the building with you.

 

you can also go to his place if you want even more privacy.

I never been in that situation but I guess you can ask them to not display your name or display something else. Congrats on your new condo by the way

If you know the unit number you can find out someone's name on the console at the entrance just by dialing in the unit number. So theoretically, after a session an escort could go down the elevator and dial the unit number into the console and see the resident's name. I guess in calls just aren't an option if you live in a condo.

Thank you.

Thank you.

 

 

 

 

Incalls aren't an option? Most folks in big cities live in apartments/condominiums and see escorts and other visitors in their place all the time. No big deal!

 

You're 31 y/o! I'm sure you also will have hookups coming to your place.

I live in a doorman building, how is that for being discreet? Lol. The doorman knows everyone’s business and gets a nice big envelope of cash at Christmas to keep quiet.

[maninsoma]

If you are that concerned about discretion (and I know that some people might have reasons to be more concerned about this), then don't have people over. I have personally never been that concerned about my identity being found out, but I have always been concerned about physical safety which is why I always meet a guy outside my building if I have never met him before. Not that it provides a guarantee of safety, but at least I know I'm not letting in more than one person and that the guy I'm allowing inside matches the photos I've seen and that he doesn't seem obviously wacko.

This

meet him downstairs at the street door

you can also go to his place if you want even more privacy.

And this

you can ask them to not display your name or display something else.

Also, you have little to fear with well-reviewed mature escorts.

Very young newbies, not so much.

[lonely_john]

I've never heard of such a request and I'm sure most concierge desk/mgt. would think the OP is into something illegal, hiding, etc.

Nothing to do with it. It's just your right to privacy.

Some people use just their initials here in Canada.

I would assume that it's also applicable in the US.

is that a common practice? I've never heard about it.

You made me think of the doorman from “The Jefferson’s.”

[lonely_john]

Definitely not common, since not everyone is inviting escorts to their place consistently, but possible.

In some cases, you can request to remove your name completely and the screen shows blank or a dot ( . )

I would also think that YMMV as every building can have independent rules of management.

That is indeed the price of doing business in a doorman building

 

You wouldn't believe how many 'uncles' I've visited on the UWS.

Our building has a directory where you click until the name comes up, and there is a code to dial unrelated to the condo number. You may want to ask the association if they can program the directory to display a pseudonym, for privacy, and security concerns. My friends know the code. If they won’t accommodate your request, just have him text you, and as was suggested, meet him downstairs, and/or if there is a security camera, and you see him approaching, just go down there, depending on how close you are to the door.

Our doormen are usually middle age Balkans. Some have sons who work part time. Nice eye candy. Everyone knows everyone’s business. Like Melrose Place, but gay.

The callbox is the same where I live. The code displayed when you get to my name does not correspond to my unit number. Given that it's such a large building, there would be no way for someone to know which name was mine if I just gave them the three digit code to ring me unless they scrolled through hundreds of listings until they found my code.

I live in a doorman building on the UWS, and the building itself has a good number of gay men - single, coupled, older, younger - including the building manager, so staff are usually very easy on the eyes. I figure the doormen have seen it all. In the years since I bought here, I cannot tell you the number of “nephews” and “godsons” I’ve had visiting for a few hours ?

the same as meeting at hotels it provides you the opportunity to meet outside protecting you from many scams. if they aren't appealing offer $100 or half to cancel. you can place a decoration like a wreath over your condo number.

[rvwnsd]

The notion that living in a condo with a callbox precludes having escorts to your place is is just not true. You can either have the escort call you when he is downstairs or simply get over it. I've lived in apartment and condo buildings in Chicago, San Diego, and Phoenix for 30 years and never had an issue. Besides, if someone (escort or otherwise) wants to find out who you are they will do so.

How on earth will a doorman be able to distinguish between an escort and someone who's coming to give you an estimate on new kitchen counters?

 

For entry system buildings, you can normally just have the management put any name you want on the display. Or, if super concerned just tell your guest that the system is on the fritz and to please text you when they're close and you'll meet them in the lobby to let them in. Job done.

 

What's awkward is when you're visiting an escort at their place that has a door person who calls up to announce you. The Escort will need to give you their real name for the door attendant to find you on the call list. You can get along with asking "tell him Spider is here."

Considering the age of the OP instead of nephews most of the escorts could simply pass his friends because they'll be around his age.

Agreed but I think the OP is concerned about escorts finding out his real name and that seems to be his main concern.

Didn’t realise how young the OP is!

 

FWIW, “nephews” and “godsons” have only come to call the last 7-8 years. When I first got this place, I was roughly OPs age, and then it was either a friend or a work colleague coming up lol

and what about when you and your provider turn on the hotel room TV to put some porn on and there's YOUR NAME being welcomed to the hotel!

How frequently does that happen?

Not in all hotels I would assume ...
