seems like the federales are on a mission, and rightfully so, to sting the sex trade of minors. i am totally against engaging underage providers but how long before their moves begin to cramp the life styles of fun loving mature adults like the ones that frequent this website. i think we all need to be prudent, providers and hobbyists alike, and make sure we know very well with whom we are communicating with and with whom we're doing business with. enjoy and stay safe!

I think TOFTT is not an option when people heads are rolling elsewhere (aka MD & Chicago right now).

Even if it doesn't affect us directly (our city has enough problems to deal with and not much resources to stalk ladies in our biz), we should be more careful with 'new' agencies or ladies popping out of nowhere. Or 'new' guys asking questions out of the blue.

If you are feeling uneasy, just stick to your local ladies, the ones you know to be safe and discreet.

I've been around long enough to know that this is one of those times of caution, don't be greedy and you will be ok.

This is the oldest profession for a reason...we will continue to exist no matter what

The issue of 'new' guys is important to me because I am one, sort of.  What I mean is I'm a former active hobbyist from back in the 1989-93 era  -- in other words, pre-internet, Date Check, etc.  I'm also retired and so the usual screening method of having a provider call a work # is a non-starter.  Any advice on how best to handle the screening process?  I've been a TER VIP member for about a month and at this point am just doin' my homework, but would like to get active next month.

very well said! i totally agree couldnt have said it better myself xo
