Ive only met 2 pornstars, however, both I have had a great time with to the point where one gave me her number and email address and requested if I'd like to see her again I just contact her directly and the other I simply brought up that If I dlike to get together again if I may contact her.  Neither have I actually see again but definitely do plan on it some time soon.  My question though is how much do you think an agencies cut is or someone like pam peaks after setting an appt for a ps.  Example, if the PS is 1400/hr through the agency or booker....how much of that 1400 do you think she gets?? .

END OF MESSAGE

Let me get this straight out of $1400 the porn star gets $600 to $700 there abouts
 Ladies time to go indy!

Some PS prefer not to deal with all the bullshit involved in responding to emails and doing screening. For many guys seeing a Favorite PS is a bucket list item and the donation is secondary. If this business plan didn't work, there would be many more indie PS.

I think if you establish a good rapport and trust during the outing it makes sense to at least make the offer for booking direct in the future. Doesn't hurt to ask.

I understand a lot of that, but I'm surprised the advertising doesn't come out of the Agencies end.  You'd think that is part of the service they are providing for their 60%.

Some of that is incorrect.

Some of the agencies pay the expenses when the girls are on tour - travel, hotel, etc.

And HelpUBookHer isn't the only agency that takes a lower commission... and also isn't usually the lowest as far as I can tell.  Nothing against HelpUBookHer...

What you wrote may be *your* experience with the agencies.  It's not every escort's...

we don't set providers rates. we help guide them in the correct ways yes.
we do a flat rate of 15-20% and we cover all advertising. SOMETIMES performers are grateful and help offset the ad costs. We don't require them too.

Some agencies or companies will ask what a provider wants to walk with for an hour...THEN they can add $200-$700 on top of that requested rate. (that's why SOME agencies are higher than others)

Some Providers have left us in the past to book their own work and most have come back as it can be very overwhelming answering a huge influx of emails as all of us booking assistants know it is a full time job. Performers have shoots, appearances and traveling that get in the way of constant screening and answering of emails.  
That's why booking assistants have to be good at our jobs. screening, scheduling, contacting, advertising and booking...Its all in a days work

I had the opportunity to spend time with my ATF PS last year.  We spent the first 20 minutes or so in the kitchen and when I suggested we move to the bedroom she asked about the donation.  I was both shocked and a little alarmed as I always that the subject was taboo and never to be mentioned.  

This woman was an open book and our conversations covered a range of topics including the donation.  I told her in what I admit must have sounded like a lame excuse that the booker (to remain nameless) had been in possession of it for over a month.  A quick text between the two quickly resolved the matter.  Later in the evening the subject came up again as we both found it amusing assuming the other was either naive or playing games.  As I said she was an open book and later told me what amount she kept.   Out of a $1200 an hour donation she kept $1000 of it.  Additionally I was charged (via the booker) for airfare (LA-LV, NV) taxi and hotel.  

She shared her email with me, telling me to keep in touch and that I could book directly via email with her in the future.  Of course she could of fed me a line of bullshit but that is my experience for what its worth.

I have done both but working with Ashley of Helpubookher or Adonia of TLC is a breeze and very reasonable for the work they do. Other agencies not so much and obviously jack rates of providers kind of ridiculously. You can see who they are. Stick with Ashley or Adonia and they can fix you up with just about anyone and are great to work with

You guys hooked me up with my all time favorite Cytherea. Thanks again.

I know several agencies - some handle porn stars, some don't.  I also know attorneys.

And you're wrong on two counts:

1. Some of the agencies pay the hotel room, airplane fares, etc. for the girls.  I know this as a fact.

2.  Simply by making the bookings (i.e. acting as agents) they are violating the Mann Act.  All that is necessary is making a booking that causes a female to go from one state to another for the purposes of prostitution.  Paying for that transportation is irrelevant, except that it can be used as further evidence of the crime.

Oh, and you might want to read the whole article that you pointed to:

"When a person by persuasion, inducement, enticement, or coercion transports an individual through a facility in interstate or foreign commerce to engage in prostitution or in any sexual activity it will be an offense under the Act."

and

"A telephone is categorized as a facility in interstate commerce.  Therefore, even an intrastate telephonic conversation with an intention to commit the crime of immoral traffic will constitute an offense"

Thinking before you post is one thing.  Knowing what you are talking about is something else
