I have sufficient access to sex with civies that are known and trusted that it would be difficult for me to justify substantive risk on unknown providers.

However, my introduction to the hobby was via referral-only ladies who don't advertise or have reviews. So I would consider seeing professionals if vouched for by a trustworthy source.

But as for opening up the yellow pages and letting my fingers do the walking? Nope. I used to use such a service to rent a stand-in for my first wife who refused to attend public events for me; but never for sex.

The Powers that be can attempt to curtail the access of info by closing down CL, TER, etc, but there will always be Boards whose focus will be the appreciation of lovely & sexy women (for a fee).

calling classified ads from the weekly entertainment papers and opening the Yellow Pages in hotel rooms when I traveled on business.

I usually did very well.  Sometimes there was a clunker but more often than not I found a really nice gal.

Now, I don't know.  I already know so many gals that I won't have to go back to those methods, and often times those gals will introduce me to friends.

Then there's always the massage parlors.  I've found many long lasting relationships there.
