If they want or feel the need to know exactly who we are (understandable for their safety and security), then we guys ought to also have the right to see their ID with true identity (although they might always be using an alias and fake ID).  While the women take chances with rape, violence and LE, we guys take big chances with our careers, marriages, etc. If a provider wants to know your true identity before an outcall so that she can, in theory, check you out, we guys should be able to do similarly. Case in point, I recently saw a provider who shared her true identity with me and I with her. After seeing her for about half dozen times and she was moving to ATF status with me, I merely Googled her to check her out and, without any hacking of any kind, I discovered she had a criminal record a mile long and was suffering some severe mental problems! (And, yes, she's a verified provider on several sites and highly reviewed!) At least I didn't have to worry about getting a severe headache while laying next to her in post-coital bliss: axe murderer was not one of her felony convictions...By the way, she also had used a half dozen aliases. Needless to say, I'm circumspect about the whole identity issue and just who the hell you're playing with! Either both parties should be honest and forthcoming with their true identities or may complete anonymity reign with all of the inherent dangers. My policy is now "Show me yours and I'll show you mine."

Angela, I'd be interested in your and other providers' thoughts on my prior post above on the ladies similarly showing their IDs, particularly in light of my potentially scary experience with a sketchy provider. I've read the statistics that 20% of guys are robbed by a provider and/or her pimp. While one might think this is only a problem with providers from BP, many women advertise and are on both TER, BP and perhaps even with P411, so there are not necessarily firm boundaries that separate out the good, trusted ladies of TER from some of the riff-raff out there. One can even discern that from some of the discussion boards and/or the poor reviews occasionally submitted. How would you feel if a client asked to see your driver's license, for example, at the same time you asked to see his ID? The fallback, seemed to be used by many providers, is that on a slow day most providers will throw caution to the wind and see a particular client based only on gut instinct, as subjective and as dangerously wrong as that could be.

A provider asked me to drop all my cloths off to prove I wasn't LE.

WTF?

Interestingly, I recently had a provider (Sadie out of San Francisco) who showed me the Benjamin's: she had C notes with Ben's pictures tattooed on the top of her feet! There were no doubts where her interests and priorities lied!  LOL....
