I apologize if this is in the self-help guide, I looked

If doing an outcall, what are the pros and cons of doing it at my home vs getting a hotel room?  (I live alone.)

The extra money for a hotel room is obvious -- anything else worth considering?

(Obviously a I'm a newbie, appreciate all your help.)

outcall to your home is not a good idea.  Even if you live alone, how do you know you can trust her if you have not seen her before?  Either do incall, or get a room.  This really isn't a topic that would be discussed in the self-help manual.  However, if you do a search for the topic of outcall vs incall, you might get some more input.

If you have not seen her enough to trust her completely, do not have her come to your home.  I have had ladys over to my house, but probably not before a number of dates including a few multi-hour/overnight ones that start building some trust beyond the basic "is he safe?", "is she safe?".

There are TWO keys to this business, one is $, the other is trust.  Though talked about much less, trust is probably the more important.

the best thing to do is see a gal at her incall.  That's what most of them offer, and it's the only thing I do.  I'm certainly not going to book a hotel room for a 1-2 hour session.  Do the math.  If you're seeing a gal who charges $300 for her time and the room is $100, I'd much rather see a $400 gal at her incall.  And, as has been pointed out, it's safer than having her come to your home.  Bad idea.

I can not recommend having someone to your home whom you've never met.   Until you have quite a bit of experience, you should not entertain at your home.
This is a secret world...  even if single, not wise to leave tracks.

When the door closes between you after...  you are strangers again.  

Many years ago, I had a civie to my house on the second date...  I fould out later that she had gone through my desk & checkbook.  The whole relationship which followed was a fraud based solely on her finincial need.

WOW! I am surprised by all the negativity surrounding outcalls.

I only do outcall and have always been this way.

I have been to private homes, but mostly I am requested at upscale hotels.

If you get a well-reviewed provider, you will have no problem. I have never had a problem, but I am always extra careful about wearing any scents I could leave behind on the sheets. I also try and bring my own hand towel and wash cloth if I am going to a private residence. I hate drama and I dont want anyone else to have it on my account.


As far as someone taking something from you? Maybe you should do your homework when making arrangements. I can't imagine a grown woman would steal something from someones home, but lately, nothing surprises me.

If you are that nervous about having someone to your home, don't do it. Go with your gut. I would hate to think that when someone is calling me to come to their home, they are worried I might take something.

The other choice is make sure she is never alone. confide everything to one room.

But always go with your gut..

Be safe and have lots of fun. Thats the point isn't it?

Your concern for you clients is admirable.  Unfortunately, not all providers do the same as you, or are as concerned for their clients.  What we are saying about outcalls to the home is that a first time visit with a provider is not generally recommended, at least not without very intense verification.  Newbie hobbyists are less likely to know how to research and verify a provider's character.  Once the hobbyist has seen a provider a few times, and feels he can trust her, sure, invite her to the home.  

Yes, grown women will steal from clients, it's sad but true.  Well-reviewed ladies would not jeopardize their business, but some of these ladies that are not reviewed, or new to the biz, well who knows what they will do.  Too many cash and dash girls out there, not to mention other problems one might encounter.  Your advice about making sure she is never alone is good, but might not always be easy.

I would be to afraid to go to a private home.  Even somebody with plenty of reviews and references could do whatever he wanted to in that kind of privacy.

I also know one provider who probably would steal from the host, even though she has a ton of great reviews and as far as I know nobody knows that about her but me.  Not even probably-she would if she could.

Besides, my attorney says that for the most part, LE is not interested in going to somebody's home.  Unless there is a complaint made by a neighbor, or something, they just don't have the man hours to go to personal in calls.  So, that's added incentive for us all to use private in calls whenever possible.

When we travel though, you guys have to come see us at hotels.  Then it's extra important to check references.

My house was smaller than many appartments...   550 sq feet total in 2 rooms plus bath.  

Most clients have no idea whom they are inviting over.   Do you want to be blackmailed or robbed later by her BF/pimp?   Sure, you are a well reviewed provider...  but is the cutie whose ad you just found?   An experienced hobbiest can make his own decisions...  I'll stick with my recomendations for Newbies.

Bridgette, I've got nothing against outcalls.  When I'm traveleing I really prefer them.  I DO have concern about a provider I don't know well knowing where i live, just as every provider should want t o keep her home address protected.

I often book my own hotel rooms rather than going to her incall and there are several good reasons for it:

1.) I'm a control freak; I like to be in control of the playtime environment, including the air conditioning.

2.) No worries about a "friend" or pimp hiding in the second bedroom of her incall.

3.) If something goes horribly wrong, hotel security is a phone call away and her entrance and exit will likely be recorded on video.

4.) At most hotels, you can book a "day rate" room for roughly 50% to 60% of the cost of a full night's stay. Just check out by 6 pm.

5.) After I come, I like to go - to sleep    Can't do that if she is rushing you out the door to get ready for her next client.

To each his own.  If that makes you comfortable, do it.  Interesting about day rates.  I still  can't imagine doing it, though.  I can get to almost any incall in a half hour to an hour.  Works for me.  I have yet to hear a GF, BF or pimp be in the next room.  A small dog, yes.

True. Just my preference. "Day rate" rooms are perfect for lunchtime appointments - if you are lucky enough to have a job where no one notices or cares when you are gone from 11 to 2. "I'm having lunch with an important client. No calls please!"  

Yup - I've had a couple ladies with dogs at their incall, which is another reason I prefer to book my own room. I love dogs. Have two of my own. But if I had a choice, I'd rather not have them there. They just wind up being a distraction and time-waster, especially if I have only booked one hour.

Your responses are much appreciated.  Thanks for the tips!
