Hello, I am no longer a hobby virgin.  I feel pretty good about the process.  My question; what are some ways to protect the newbie from the LE.  Because I haven't seen too much.  I seen many about protecting the provider but not the other way around.  For example; it seems like the LE can use TER as a treasure trove of information to use for busts?

Reading the FAQs gives me a lot of theory on protection, but I wish I had some more practical advice.  For example, I saw LE everywhere around me (I guess regular driving around), but I still went ahead and turned out ok.

1) LE is not your greatest threat, as many newbies think.  As I have said before, far more men get busted by their SO than LE.

2) Read your regional board!  If the heat is on, you will likely know about it.

3) If you haven't already, get VIP status!!!

4) See only well-reviewed ladies!!!  By this, I mean, the lady has at least 2 or 3 pages of reviews, or has been reviewed by 2 or more guys who have a dozen or more reviews over at least 6 months.  Yes, LE can set up false profiles and false reviews.  Most LE agancies don't have the time, money, and attention span to spend that much time on the "prostitution problem".  It is much easier to round up the streetwalkers and their Johns.

5)  If you are concerned about LE, opt for outcall.  Most sting operations I know of are incall.  It is much more easier to set the stage, the cameras and microphones, to make their case against you when you visit her.

6) If something doesn't feel right, cut your loses.  Put your clothes on and leave!

BTW...  I been hobbying, on and off, for over 15 years, and have never had been close to a LE sting.  The risk is there, but not as much as you might think!!!  Still you have to consider what you have to lose (SO, family, friends, alimony, etc) in your risk / reward calculation!

Hope this helps,
