sure it happens, and likely you won't get caught, but if you do you may burn your bridges with that agency -- it depends on your relationship with the agency, you have to weigh how important that connection is to you -- it may also depend on how active you are -- the provider may move on in her life and there you will be needing to go back to the well -- personally I think it's inappropriate for the guy to suggest it initially, it can put the provider in an awkward position and start the whole painful "negotiation relationship" that can drive providers crazy

A lady I met through an agency on a business trip suggested that I contact her directly the next time I wanted to see her.  She could offer a lower price for the same service that way. She gave me her phone# and e-mail address.  

Obviously, it would make financial sense for her (she increases her income - no agency cut).  As I will be back in that city soon, I am thinking about her offer....

Gentlemen, has this happened to any of you as well?  Have you yourself asked a lady for a similar arrangement?  Any risks involved I fail to see?

Ladies, what do you think of her approach?  Isn't she risking upsetting her "boss" (but then, how would they find out anyway?)and not getting any future calls?

Be loyal, if you want to be an agency servant forever.

I think this type of request was extremely unethical on the ladies part.  If she wants to be indy, she needs to go indy... not try to profit off the work the agency does to support and promote her, then turn around and cut them out.

And before you say "who cares?" remember that
when your "here's my phone number,don't tell"
"Independent" leaves town, goes to Florida for
the winter, or is busy ... that agency is gonna
tell you: don't call me, call your right hand!
    Because the agency always finds out fast,
I don't know how, but they do.

I once had a lady give me her direct number after I met her through her agency.  Apparently she worked for two agencies and did some independent work.  Then once I contacted an independent lady and she told me that she also did work through an agency.  I don't pretend to know how most agencies work, but I get the impression from talking to the latter lady that at least some agencies don't care whether their ladies work as escorts elsewhere, as long as they get their cut of the calls they bring to the lady.  I think the agency provides phone-answering, screening and marketing for the lady.  Some don't want to deal with all the junk calls so they let an agency do the phone work.  I suppose some might want to deal with the phone only sometimes so they work through and agency and independently.  I've never seen an agency service lady enough to feel comfortable asking for such an arrangement and don't know that I'd ever feel comfortable asking for it.  But if she feels comfortable enough to offer it, I don't see any danger.  Agencies aren't pimps, and the women aren't slaves.

I have had this happen.  It seems to be part of the business, especially as a lady gains experience at providing.  Even when providers work through agencies only, I have seen that many work for more than one.  The better agencies seem to have providers who work only for them, there are probaly reason for that which I do not understand.

If she likes you and has no uncomfortable vibes, then cutting out the agency can make it more profitable for her cheaper for you or both. I have even had this happen with girls at MPs.

It happens all the time. Usually when the provider is very comfortable with you. Most girls that work out of agencies in my area work out of several and are independant on the side. If the agengy is getting them enough work, then they stay with the one. If not, then they seek additional represntation. I don't think loyalty has anything to do with it.
