Screening and references?

[Guest DrBeaverboy]

I know that in the heterosexual escort community, it is common practice that an escort will ask her potential client for references as a part of her screening process before she agrees to a session with the gent. This makes it to where she can contact an escort he had previously seen, and see how the gent treated her -- and she can get a heads up if the guy was a creep/jerk/cheat/etc.

 

Have any of you experienced this same practice in the gay men's escort community?

 

 

And a general discussion of screening...

 

Escorts: What do you need from a client screening-wise to feel comfortable setting up an appointment with him?

 

Clients: What things in screening would you scare you away from following through with an escort?

Never experienced it from a male escort; never heard of it being done by any.

 

Other than the occasional guy who asks the client to send a pic in advance. Which turns me off, and which I decline and move on.

 

Just in its being such a departure from the norm, apart from privacy issues, etc., I think any kind of screening at all would send me looking to hire someone else.

They don't do it because it is getting discussed on private forums.

This is so wrong in many ways.

Kind of like the escort version of the "Difficult Patient" episode on Seinfeld...

Hehe, no worries... Your post wouldn't make me hate the job. :-p

 

I can completely see what you're talking about, with the lying to keep a customer to yourself thing. I had actually already wondered about it... See, I have also heard that there is a lot of drama in the straight escort community, and perhaps that is one of the big contributors why!

 

I have been completely baffled by how different the screening practices are between the gay & straight escorts. Or perhaps it's really between male escorts and female escorts. Maybe it's a supply & demand thing... maybe, as previously mentioned, it has something to do with the fact that women are seen as being more vulnerable.

 

I suppose that the most good that is done by these extensive screening processes is that it keeps the lazy LE/assailants away. But if someone's really intent on getting you in trouble or harming you... then the screening isn't going to do all that much good.

If thats the case, drama should have 2 entries in the urban dictionary:

 

1. gay male hustlers

 

2. straight escort community

Lol... yes, it should. You should go make that entry. I would give it a "thumbs up!"

LOL...to anyone thinking I'm 'calling ourselves out' notice I said 'hustlers' not 'escorts'. there's a difference, as Im sure we all know.
