I've been looking at some shockumentary/tabloid news stuff. Ok, not the most valid source for information. It focuses on forced providers, human trafficking, and under age providers. BESIDES always seeing well reviewed providers, what is a good way to make sure a provider is not under age?

I have asked several young looking twenty something providers. They understood my concern and happily provided a DL with name and address covered. If they wont put you at ease you wont have fun anyway, I would say thanks but no thanks.

for the sake of their own safety, covering over the name and address notwithstanding - but I'll let them answer that themselves.

One sure was that come to mind is to see more mature providers.

With age comes experience and wisdom.

I'd stay away from those that you have any doubts as to their age.  I do.  Other than asking for their ID, there really isn't any way to be sure.  And yes, a well-reviewed provider would probably be not happy if you asked to see her ID, IMHO.

I stopped seeing men younger than 30 months ago but once I actually IDed a client ... He was 19.

Oh I completely understand ... It felt odd to me as well to ask lol.  

That was before I found TER or knew what a well reviewed lady was....now, reviews and mature providers are the standard

If asked for ID, I would say no, absolutely not.
 If I booked the hotel, assume I'm over 21 and leave it be. There's no way in hell I'm showing you ID with my birthday, address, full name, etc. Your dollar is not worth the risk.

Once showed mine for the same reason since birthday is on a memorable historic date. Mine was 1952 hers was 1994......the date was not historically important to her.  

Which event are you talking about? :]

why did u stop seeing men under 30?
