There was no TER back when I started paying for sex. Hell, there was no internet!  

Nowadays it's actually a lot tougher.  The streetwalker scene is pretty much gone as far as quality women go and Back Page is about 95% BS.  I Have been sticking with my ATF, a few other favs and some reliable agencies for quite a few years now.  Still, If I saw an ad that intrigued me and she had a legit web site and/or advertising history I might take a chance.

As far as rolling the dice on a BP girl with no other verification? Absolutely not!
