What do you think of them? I prefer talking to the girl directly but if the assistant makes the scheduling and screening easier, then it's worthwhile investment?  

I *have* used an assistant before, at this time I do not. Just curious, why would you think anyone would fake having an assistant? What would be the point? When I had an assistant I always had them make sure to tell the client they were speaking to the assistant and not me, fyi. I am unsure what if any advantage a provider would have by "pretending" to have an assistant.

then I say it is fine.   Some gals are just not up for the logistical side of life, and that is understandable.

suggest a Sportsman's Double.  The mom might have been younger than you, too.  Lol

My girlfriend has a professional booker & it works very well for her lifestyle. She is very respectable, trustworthy & everyone loves her. I know bookers appreciate gifts & tokens of appreciation. Not all bookers are created equally.

Some providers are so overwhelmed with a civie day job, school, etc and their response time can be understandably slower than women without those concerns so in those cases, I love working with a quality assistant.

I do hear you about the personal touch you get from dealing with the provider directly. That is usually preferred as it builds rapport and excitement prior to the meetup.

I think this is just ONE MORE reason why Sex work MUST be Decriminalized ... if Sex Workers in general had more recourse and protection under the laws and dynamics of regular society, like any other business and citizens, then the pressure to have "MOMs" assisting their grown up adult offspring sell sexual intimacy would be greatly diminished.     Just my opinion.....

Excellent point again Robert!! This is my *only* job, but if a provider has another job and kids to take care of that is going to take a lot of her time.  
Hmmm....now my wheels are turning. Maybe I might try assisting when I retire from hooking???    

I KNEW you wouldn't be able to stay away . . . and your posts are shorter, so it's all good.  Lol

Pros:
- some (most?) bookers/assistants handle more than one girl. Once you're vetted, they are all available without further reference checks
- no deposits (might not apply to all of them)
- they often have "semi" or completely UTR girls.  
- they give you an early heads up on who's visiting in the near future
- communication (usually) is more reliable
- Their rates are usually mid-tier (in New England, about $500-$800)
- if something goes wrong, they usually can compensate in some way
- they will offer references when needed, if you're fairly regular
- although they may advertise (eg Buzz boards), they tend to keep a lower profile than agencies

You are not much of a critical thinker, are you?  LOL

I see a regular now who had a booker. Now I go directly through her. She prefers direct communication but initially the booker is good to weed out people she doesn’t want to see.  

I saw it as a very open-minded and loving mom helping her daughter to reach her calling to be a sex worker.

Hay! You stole my story!!
.
I got approved by email and phone calls ahead of time. Then, the day of, I called the hostess early, to confirm, and she asked me for more personal info. "But you approved me (reviews, Date Check, references, etc.) earlier in the week. We spoke on the phone." And she said, "That wasn't me. That was my mother." Boing!
.
She was a popular (>160 reviews) blond touring provider from Philly. Although she is retired (as of 2012), her photo is still appearing on her old TER ads. ... Wow. She was really pretty.

Oh my goodness you are right! I do not have any critical thinking skills at all! If you can explain it to me....really slow....why a provider would pretend to have an assistant? Remember, I am female. Everything is hard! That is why we need men to explain everything to us. Thanks in advance!!!

Anti-harrasment protection. Harassment is a psychological weapon. If the harasser thinks the harassment is buffered thru an intermediary he might not bother.

Careful with assisting.  Check the laws. Procuring can have stiffer penalties than hooking itself -- i.e. pimping.

I appreciate your honest response, but why harass a gal you are wanting to see? This seems quite counter intuitive and self destructive.

Do you always get this defensive?  LOL..You are a trip.  

Psychologically well people would behave as you expect but not ones who are obsessed or mentally ill. Lester's point is a good one and one I had not thought of.

I was thinking of creeps she's already interacted with or who have been rejected, etc.

I am so sorry those things happened to you personally. It must have been embarrassing to know that a provider did not want to see you. I do see though why she would have pretended to be her assistant instead so as to not further hurt your feelings. Thank you so much for clarifying and best of luck to you!!  

See, it doesn't make it easier. Just because the so called client is being nice to the booker does not mean that the Provider is safe.

back - meanings there is a  sense of security, and she is not alone, or ,could meant that all she had to do is concentrate on providing the client a great date.
I had an awesome  assistant in one instant ,who actually text me at the end of the session asking if I had a good session - that was customer service at its finest.  

The booker is there to SCREEN and THAT'S what keeps the provider safe.
DUH!

Oh trust me, I am well aware of the laws in all 50 states. I don't plan on retiring for 5-6 years anyway, and as to if any of the laws have changed at that point would be the main determining factor. It is unfortunate that we live in a country where consenting adults cannot just function as consenting adults yet here we are.  
But yes, thanks for pointing this out Lester. Bookers DO face harsher penalties in some states because it can be considered "pimping". So be NICE to them!!    

I don't normally do this but I gotta call you out on your asshole replies. Scarlett was asking questions out of curiosity, didn't call you out, didn't call out the OP. Very cordial actually. Then you barge in and your first sentence is an insult about critical thinking. Why? What did Scarlett do to you, to deserve that? And then you don't even give examples of why a provider might pretend, instead waiting for a second reply to list some reasons while at the same time doubling down on the insults. Posts like these are why providers don't interact as often on these boards with guys, why would they want to if they are looking to have a conversation but instead are getting insulted.

Nice way to make it personal when you lose an argument.  Very "classy"..  

You are right.. My response was a bit snarky..   Here are a few things to chew on...  

This is not Sunday school, but please be aware that although I do have thicker skin, a lot of gals do not. My first question I asked was a discussion question, and no, your response to my original question was not cordial at all. It was full of snark and unnecessary. I do have a firm grasp on lots of topics but I also may ask a question to learn someone else's perspective which is helpful and I do often learn from this.  No one is calling out anyone to be the board police and no one is calling out anyone to be a white night. There are a lot of gals that have left this board because of comments like you made. If you want more providers to participate with the conversations here and it not be just a sausage fest that it is normally then yes, it would be in your best interest to tone it down. We are all adults here and we all have information to share or to add our personal experiences to make this industry safer and more enjoyable for everyone.  

Why can't a fuck board have cordial discussions? I wasn't offended by her questions about why I thought a provider could be pending to be an assistant, she seemed genuinely curious.

I've seen sometimes that girls also read the emails and will reply to me directly. The assistant handles the logistics of the meet. There was once though where I think the girl made a mistake and answered it with her "voice" instead of the assistant. Assistant was professional sounding but in that one email reply was writing seductively. Made me think. I think a guy is likely to be nicer and professional if they are working with an assistant not to mention less lewd to the assistant or if they know the assistant can read the email.

Let me get this straight. Your justification for being an asshole is:  
1. You are posting on a fuck board.
2. An opinionated escort isn't allowed to have questions.  
3. You self appointed as board police.

His posts are not just snarky, he is being a total insulting asshole

Please delve into your imaginary world and tell us a few.

Hah, hah!  

Please go away.

Thanks for speaking up!

All the more reason to hire an assistant!

Another asshole emerges!

But I will add that, since they screen and schedule for more than one girl (usually 6-10 in the larger markets), if your scheduled lady cannot make it at the last minute (usually arrival of her period), they can suggest a substitution from their roster so that the time you set aside in YOUR schedule will not be wasted.  Simply ask who else is available at that time and they will give you fifteen to twenty minutes to get back to them after you have checked her reviews and photo gallery.    Some of the girls I saw as booker recommendations due to a last-minute cancellations turned out to be better than the girls I had originally asked for.

Since you took it upon yourself to act like a prick unprovoked, i’ll intensify it. Get fucked with a sandpaper dildo.

And that's supposed to scare me... LOL.. I pay for that kind of shit. If someone would offer for free I am happy as a clam.  

There are a couple of guys who come on this board just to insult, deride and unbraid. It's all they've got. They're why we have an "ignore" button.

You’d pay to be painfully fucked up your ass? Yikes. Enough said.

#1:  What is the sense on having an assistant ?!!

I think that everyone uses their own multi-parameter optimization, consciously or not; correctly or not. There is even a cost associated with "I hate that part of the job!" and "I love to do that part of the job!" Also, "time is money." But time is more valuable to some and less valuable to others.

I would disagree. See, When a Provider does everything but have sex with the Client. It causes a problem between the client & provider at some point. See, The assistant would only tell the Provider very little.
