You bring up very good points that I know most of all the Gents at some point or another have wondered. I do ask you to please also think about what it is like for a lady in the same boat.
We face insuring you are the correct guy we screened not his best friend (I have never had that happen but have heard about it.) Not getting busted by LE while do it. Not getting Robbed, murdered, raped, or beaten. Making sure that it isn't someone we have met in casual passing in real life, (this has happened to me). Oh, and STD's + HIV.
Just as you Gents need to take precautions, we do as ladies. I have a booking agent to ensure that someone close knows my whereabouts at all times, and knows who is with me at all times. I take my time to get to know each person prior to clothes coming off. For me, I have just as much to loose as most of you men do. I follow my gut 100% of the time, if I think that someone doesn't fit, I have no issues with apologizing and telling them to leave (with their money in hand). People do not come to see me to get in, get off, and get out. I get very uneasy if we can't talk a few before because I don't know who you are from Adam at that point. As far STD's/HIV. I get tested EVERY single trip when I return home. My doctor knows what I do and while he has voiced he doesn't approve of it, he will continue to do his job.
As someone who is very aware (no personal experience, I just do not live under a rock) of the whole human trafficking issues in this world, I ask if you Gents have thought about the impact it also has in the porn world? While yes, it is highly likely that no one put a gun to those girls heads at the age of 18-22, some of them are being highly exploited. When I was a provider 11 years ago, I met a few girls that did porn too. They started in porn because they were given $500 per shoot and it was more money then they had ever had in their lives. They weren't always from the typical "hard" background, but they were given an unlimited supply of booze and drugs. Those girls, while they could have walked away at any point, had no idea of the mental or physical ramifications to their body and mind. However, take a woman in late 20's or her 30's. Personally I would think that she had the life experience to realize that she doesn't have to do either of these items. Providing or Porn. If someone is in this JUST for the money, and they do not have another way to fall back on but want to quit, I assume by now they realize that every single state in the US has social services programs to help people. Every state has housing, welfare, food stamps. There is not really an excuse to only do it for the money to survive.
I know my view is very direct on the matter, but I try to never wrong anyone and enjoy what I do as well as find a common bonding agent to enjoy who I am with. Even when I was younger, no one forced me, no one enticed me, and no one hurt me. I do realize, and continue to realize, I am one of the lucky one. But just as I would tell another lady to find her boundaries and stick to them, I will tell you Gents the same. If you worry agency ladies are trafficked then don't see them. If you worry Indy's are going to rob you, then don't see them. If you are worried about an STD, well I wish you take every precautions in the world and if not please enjoy time with Ms. Rosy Palm.
Sometimes as other men have said, it is important to do your homework and think with your Big head, to ensure you little head some safety.

I am personally thankful to have such a close knit hobby world for us to live in. There is a lot to be said about why I fly across the country to come here every month. CA is a whole lot closer and only one flight, but I feel safer here. That doesn't mean I should let me guard down. It just means in my opinion, Boston has the best group of ladies and gents in the country.
I hope everyone has a fantastic week. Please take the time to think about what your expectations are for this. What do you desire for yourself, both mentally and physically.
Yours-
Kristin
