Not expecting anything bad, and everything seems to check out on reviews.  Just wanted to find some local knowledge if possible.  Appreciate any insights and hope I can reciprocate in the future.

Hello Sir,
I'm always curious as an independent well-reviewed and regarded  
travelling Courtesan, and Certified Massage Therapist,
why gents like yourself procure agencies rather than individuals such as myself?
Agencies are just "the middleman", and tend to be unnecessarily exorbitant.
As far as safety and anonymity?  You usually have to book with a credit card,  
hence a "paper trail".  
This is truly a legitimate inquiry as I almost joined with an agency four years ago
upon my introduction to Companioning.  Thank goodness I declined!
Thoughts?  Input?  Pros & Cons?
Warmest,
Angelina Jone

I've seen this question asked a few other times and have never found a consistent answer. Some say the models are fake, others say they've had good experiences. A few of their ladies have reviews here.
