and you will be fine. If she has reviews, social media, and advertises on multiple platforms, then she is legit. I promise you we want to continue making money legitimately in this business. We aren't going to ruin our reputations to blackmail a client.

There are still those of us who are happy to accept two provider references as screening. But, when a gentleman doesn't have two provider references, or he waited too last minute to book an appointment, then RWI is going to be required. There is simply no other way to prove you aren't LE. A phone call, selfie, or video chat does not prove you aren't LE.

Providers are much more likely to be raped, assaulted, robbed, or murdered than clients are to be blackmailed. And, a client who sends his RWI is significantly more likely to be on his best behavior and respect our boundaries.

In nearly 10 years as Stina Valentine, I've never been arrested, and I've only had two bad clients. A provider who only "screens" with a selfie, video chat, or phone call has had many more bad experiences than I have. In fact, a provider who doesn't require either references or RWI, I would say that's much more of a red flag. She is desperate enough to compromise her safety.

You're probably a great guy who is respectful of providers. But, for every "you" there is, there is a rapist or a robber too. I hope you understand. This is such a dangerous job for us, so we have to keep ourselves safe.

“real world life information” like what?  
I’m married ?
I live in such and such town?
I work at “XYZ” company?  

Nothing wrong with any of that imho as long as she’s 1) a long term reputable provider and 2) it’s not your first session with her.  

Just a way to build a normal human connection which I’ve found leads to better future sessions  

 
Now.  
If you’re talking about more usually private information, like your social security number, debit card number and pin, etc.  
Yeah. In that case, NO

Don't stick your dick in crazy.... He meant it for Civi's but it applies to everyone.  If you have a question about trusting the provider with personal information you should have a concern about getting a blowjob from her.  Some weird telephone calls should be easier to explain to your wife than bite marks on your dick.  I completely understand a providers desire to screen and I support them in that.  It should be just as important for guys to screen.... Don't stick your dick in Crazy

If a provider meets what I am looking for, I have no problem giving real world info.  If I cannot trust her with my information then I cannot trust her with the family jewels.  Of course I do not have a wife at home, if I did the same thought process would apply.

The same argument as when people say don't get vaccinated they gonna put a tracker in you. As if they haven't already convinced us to pay a monthly  bill to carry a tracker with us at all times since 2007.

Side note i dont keep personal info every thing is in my head due to having an eidetic memory

We aren't all the same. It depends on many factors. Are they sharing their personal information with you as well? How do you know the information they are telling you isn't a lie?  Are they involved in drugs?  

In all honesty wait a couple months before you let them in. If you communicate outside of the appointment regularly, maybe she is safe. In my own experience, I have always been bit in the ass by giving too much information to a provider...not a client. Some of us can be your best friends, then some can be straight up scheming... happened to me multiple times. Always protect yourself. There are many, many people in this business that will hurt you without considering your feelings. If you can find a good friend out of a provider, she is probably closer to you than your own best friend you have had for decades.

I agree...depends on the provider.

I don't see anyone without some real information and I check driver's license to be sure his info is his.  It's worked well for me for many years.  That being said, if you don't want to share you info...don't.  There are plenty of ladies out there that do not require such info.  It's a beautiful thing that allows us all to play.

For me, I don't know if the name given to me, references, P411 number, etc. belongs to the gentleman using it.  I've seen gentlemen get their P411 number used by someone else and sons using their dad's info because the name is the same.  I need to verify the gentleman is who he claims to be.  Without that, I have no idea who I'm screening.  

After screening, I delete all info except for their contact info and first name.  I have no reason to keep that info after I know the gentleman is good.

This is just how I do things.  Every person in the hobby chooses their level of risk.
