In most cases it is to make sure that the last guy is out of the room before you come knocking. Others want a heads up to see you coming.

Once did daty and tasted a smoker's tongue had blazed the trail. Not good.

The main reason I require a second call from a "checkpoint" near my home is because there are a great many men out there who are completely FOS and/or dangerous. And yes, LE is a factor.

The FOS guys call you up and lead you to believe they're actually coming, but never show. This way, someone who has this level of respect for you and your time (i.e., none) still doesn't know where you actually live/work.

Pranksters, if they know your address or hotel room, can do terrible damage and easily get you thrown out. (I had a friend who had the word "whore" spray-painted on her door; I had another friend thrown out of a hotel because a man called the desk and informed them about what she was doing -- they had no proof, but then, they don't need any (we reserve the right to refuse service, etc))

And yes, LE really does need to have the address ahead of time in order to set up a proper sting. They've got to cover the back door, be aware of other possible exits, basically "have the place surrounded" -- very difficult to do discreetly if they don't have the address until one minute before the call.

I don't hand out my home address to just anyone who calls me, because this is where I live. As a woman, I have to be careful.

I see a low volume of clients and don't believe in "rushing one out the door" on the heels of another. Tacky.

The only gentlemen who get that address are serious clients who are actually coming to see me. Additionally, the "heads up" that the gentleman is in the neighborhood is nice... gives me time to pop a breath mint, straighten my dress, check the candles and music, etc.

JMHO, sorry to be so long winded.
xxxooo
Beverly ;-*

Basically a ditto here, I have asked this question to providers, and simply it is a factor that they want to know you are the one who will be knocking on the door next.  LE is an issues also as Beverly so well explained.
Then, come on guys, provider are not any different than any other ladies, they want to be sure they are all together before they go out on a date.

they would like to have you back. What I find most facinating about this thread is the fact it's 2005 and you don't have a cell phone??

C'mon man if you can afford $$$ or $$$$ for the company of any of these fine ladies than you should be able to spring for a cell phone man.

I heard there were people like you still out there....I just never thought I would come so close to one.

With that much cash changing hands in her room, it would seem wise to let as few people know where she was, let them know only when necessary, and let them in on it for as short a time as possible.  Just a simple precaution.  I thought LE would be really secondary in this regard.
