I am seeing many providers who are asking for personal information to be able to see them. How many of you do that?
I don't have any reviews newer that a year ago.  If I send a photo of my license to her, I have always felt that once it is "ou there" it's out there! 2 Of my regulars will not give out references, and they don't ask for them as well.

Some are doing it, but won't -- despite being tempted a few times.  You are correct, once it out there you have lost control.  While I believe some ladies truly intend to keep it private, we just don't know when their circumstances may change and they decide giving up names will help them out of a jam.  There are a few providers that rant about their safety, and I get that, but I would rather participate less and feel my information is protected.  

The vast majority of reputable providers are going to ask for your information to do a background check on you before they decide to book with you. You have two options. AFTER doing research to make sure the provider you want to see is reputable and safe send your information, book the appointment, have fun. Two is locating a provider that does not require screening information, which obviously is going to have it's risks as well. I personally do not know any providers that will see someone without screening information. The industry is shifting and there are way more clients than there are providers. I am already half pre booked for November. And yes, I only see guys who send me their screening info. It is the new normal for this industry.

It’s ridiculous the lack of providers who actually care to do their own research. No references. Everyone is different. Best advice is do you.

Beg to differ. There are plenty of very nice reputable ladies who do reasonable but not intrusive or risky screening.  Take your time and find someone that makes you comfortable with all aspects of the arrangement.  

If you have the names of lots of providers that are reputable and ask for less screening information than any of the providers that I know you are more than welcome to send that information to the OP. Please do not label providers that ask for more information than you are comfortable giving as "intrusive" and "risky". The information I request, as well as the vast majority of other reputable providers, is clearly posted on our websites.  Potential clients have the option to send it or not, no one is being forced or coerced into doing so. And yes, all clients should do as much research as possible before sending any information or $$. The only hard line I draw in the sand is when some clients think they are entitled and it is acceptable to negotiate screening. It is not. Safety  is not negotiable. If a provider is requesting information you are not comfortable sharing move on to another provider. Not only is it tacky it may get you blacklisted.

Praise be. Unfathomable that a provider would just see a “stranger”  even though our occupation is not decriminalized if something were to go down that involved my safety, it’s my job to alert my fellow sisters of the community that I care for about that particular client.  

I also to share the same thought that I would love to know what providers are not doing any invasive screening? That seems more than dangerous for both participating parties.

Let it be known to potential clients that if you are respectful and behave and act accordingly, your information remains confidential . It’s only when you act, aggressive and out of line and have unsavory behavior. That’s when your information does remain private any longer, to alert the next provider and then it is up to their discretion on what they would like to do with that said information ..

Be self aware, do your research and reach out to a provider that aligns with your needs and the rest is just proper business practice.

I feel like it’s a crazy world out there and if I was a client I personally wouldn’t feel safe seeing a provider who doesn’t screen. Screening is to keep you safe as well as me, the provider. I always delete my clients screening info after they’re vetted and I save them by their first name or hobby know so I know I’ve seen them when they reach out to me again for their next appointment. With technology these days — your name, address, birthday, job title and what not is already accessible to the public online so I don’t see the big stigma with screening but I respect that some people are more private than others which is why I’m pretty open to accepting different forms of screening as long as it gives me an idea of who you are and I don’t require you to disclose your home address.  

"Let it be known to potential clients that if you are respectful and behave and act accordingly, your information remains confidential . It’s only when you act, aggressive and out of line and have unsavory behavior."

DOES ANYONE else find any of this problematic?  The purpose of invasive screening is and has always been about safety of the provider.  So, stay with me here...if a session has occurred and there was no threat to the current or future safety of the provider it's a done deal, correct?

What might qualify as disrespectful, out of line or unsavory behavior?  
-A monger leaving a toilet seat up or unflushed?
-A fat slob that left shit streaks on the sheets?
-Holding her head down on your cock while ripping an eye watering fart and laughing?
-being "exposed" as a Trump supporter after the session, lol?
-A less than stellar review because you happened to book an appt on day 3 of her being out of happy pills?

Do any of these meet the threshold for releasing a clients PII and destroying his life?

LOL.
Are you really trying to man-splain screening to one of the most established providers on this site?
   
yikes.

what a LOT OF DUDES should be questioning.  I'm actually hoping one of the vet providers on this board shows up and says whoah, no way we release PII just because we catch some attitude or disrespect from a client.  We screen for safety reasons and posts like this destroy the credibility of our position.  Or, if a provider feels justified in destroying a man's life because she was disrespected that's absolutely wrong and all providers should condemn that.

Providers are not the enemy but they are not your friends either.  When someone says something, it's best to actually hear and understand what they are saying.  If ANYWHERE in a provider's post includes "your information remains confidential" based on highly subjective criteria...caveat emptor!

I agree most providers these days will require some form or real world information as far screening. With the major amounts of Federal funding to stop trafficking and stings going on; in my option it is not smart for a provider not to ask for real world info. As a provider with screening i ask for a ID. There are too many risks not to. I am also one of the only providers I know of that will share my information when we meet along with current updated test results.

There are some providers that have doxxed clients for rather flippant reasons on twitter and yes, I have called them out for this. Even the blacklisting, as I have talked about, is being done for reasons that are personal reasons, not to protect another provider's safety. The two most recent individuals that kidnapped, raped, and killed providers are Rex Heuermann and "Joey the player". The MO for both of these individuals was very similar: they offered money way above and beyond what the provider's rates were to forgo screening.  This is one of the main reasons I tell clients to NOT ever attempt to negotiate screening. So no, when you talk about client's live being destroyed by doxxing that does not compare to providers being killed. Clients and providers need to work together to make the system better. Background checks should always be run by a provider to confirm a client is safe before a session. At the moment without personal information providers have not way to accomplish this. Suggestions to make the system better will always be considered.

..exactly how many clients are okay with providing identity and employment verification. What's important is the providers who require that information as a form of screening are obviously being contacted by considerate clients who respect our policies.  

 
Speaking for myself, I disincentivize potential clients using references as their sole form of screening. As a result, I very rarely get contacted by clients who refuse to provide real world information so I screen to my comfort level. And that's totally fine with me.

I may not be what you are looking for , maybe? As I’m fully thera-sensual (not fs)  

I highly value consent and safety of my nipples (rings) that have been slightly torn by 3 out of 10 visitors who roughly handled them without my permission or notice during our sessions through my 19 years  

Unfortunately i dont ask for references as some sources were not reliable .. if our new friends are not pictured on reputable website or a very established LinkedIn account is not able to be provided - I sometimes may ask for gvmt id along with some sort of proof of employment, addresses and income may be covered , but names and hours , sometimes DOB must be included  

 this isn’t because I WANT to know your dirt .. but it’s also a vetting process on a psychological level - these ppl are less likely to treat me poorly behind closed doors  

I came here as an example, but also to give suggestions that may help you either put your mind at ease or finding another way  

- REVERSE Search on the provider contact info and seek her reviews , there some here , erotic money , adultlook , private delights , slixa , before giving out such sensitive information .  

-personally I would also pay attention to how long they have been in the business , if no complaints then she’s most likely just protecting her peace .  

- CREATE an established profile :  
May be worth the ask to have them give positive reports on your email and phone number  - if u need to protect your personal life , I’m sure you can get creative - (keeping your same hobby email and phone number will help)  

- Try to see if p411 will accept new accounts to begin your profile and seek getting “ok’s”  
Nothing wrong with asking ahead of time if the providers will honor these  

- Adultlook - where only providers can look up your email and number to seek positive feedback , no media is allowed in these reports and usually it’s complaints . But I HAVE seen positive notes , This is a site where some providers may not be fully verified but most times their photos are lightly screened and you can see a check marks next to their photos  

- reference based providers :  just keep trying to find providers who are open to references, I think some reviews might even suggest they use em in their screening process, not every John focuses on speaking about these things but some do .  

 -  ask your provider who they can link you with or suggest you should see , as some providers may not give reference outside of their circle but may within .  

- lastly offer compensation for favors , may work
