It came up the other day, do any providers "friend" their clients anywhere, do any hobbiests "friend" their favorite provider, anywhere?  If so, is it your "private facebook" etc page, with real names and background?  or a fake partially true page?  With so much about "privacy" not being true privacy, its a wonder any of us have a facebook page - I do, but it is so boring even the crickets stay away....

I know that myspace had hints of "sex offerings" but facebook seems to not be there yet.  Comments?

When it comes to your social network presence - I think you are asking for trouble by connecting, even if it is your "private" Facebook as if anything you do on the net is truly private - IMHO

have Facebook accounts, and Twitter and the like. Would I do it? No. Personal life and private life should never cross. If I have Facebook or Twitter in my personal life, you better believe I will never make a Provider account for those. Same goes for clients. If you have something to hide, I suggest you stay away from sites like those. Facebooks & stuff can be easily hacked anyways. Nothing is truly private on the internet.

END OF MESSAGE

I already knew their real names before I asked to be a friend.  They could have turned me down, but didn't.  Our hobby relationship is never mentioned on FB, nor do they ever say anything about the hobby, strictly personal life if we communicate thru there.  One provider I know has a personal page and another for her provider name.  I asked why and she said she did it for her hobby friends, also that she rarely uses that one any more.

Swim

I have a Facebook and Twitter that people can friend me on. I always suggest they use an alias though - a brand new account just for their hobby life.  

It is no different than having a second phone - some things need to remain private.

END OF MESSAGE

I can't image a companion linking their legal identities to their work identities...the social, legal, safety ramifications of that could be very grave!

But there are countless (hundreds, even thousands) clients and companions who have their industry social networking accounts.

I have a few thousand followers on Twitter, almost exclusively other escorts/dommes/dancers etc and clients with "play accounts".
It's not about my personal life, it's about life in this incredible hobby world.  
Some ladies keep blogs on their sites, I keep a Twitter account

I had my Twitter account hacked in less than 3 months being a member. Imagine if I had messaged or saved any contacts? Yea right.

I am absolutely on NO other social networks. Too many creeps.

threat o your security and a money making machine for the likes of Zuckerberg!

Of course they all think they're never getting busted, and they are smarter than LE.  It's just one more way for LE to build a case against the dumb hooker population in America.

Frankly it's too easy to sift through those sites that you are on and find a shitload of personal info.  And I'm not referring to the crap you guys post on the board(s)...but the info you have used in setting those accounts up.  Even if you thought you didn't those types of sites invade your computer...think about it  LOL

The number of "hits" I've seen on sites like FB, Twitter and LinkedIn are staggering.  Not to mention that the personal info that then is available to someone to use google like search engines to know exactly who you are.

As others have said...it's stupid on so many levels to have that shit out there.  

Hopefully it all works for you on some level(s)...but those of us who know how they really work avoid those who have no idea about discretion...such as you.

Your ASS looks very nice on Twitter....

I know nothing about discretion? Why the personal jab? that was rude, never mind untrue.
Someone with such a surly reputation shouldn't open mouth and insert foot so much, ChgoCPA.

Yeppers. I don't give shit about what the next person wants to do, but to be so naive as to what could happen is a bit comical. If I were out there showing my face and my future employer found it, well duh. I would have to slap myself for being stupid enough to ignore that possibility in the first place.

-- Modified on 9/4/2013 11:19:00 PM

Exactly. I get at least 10 emails a month to my London account from professionals too stupid not to erase a contact list, and they have a linkedin or FB account that invades it. I always reply with, "Hey, pretty stupid to have a hooker's name in your contact list, don't ya think?" Stupid is as stupid does. Whatever.

END OF MESSAGE

RIGHT instead of rude?

Or are you even more oblivious to the obvious?

Think before you open your mouth...YOU posted your indiscretion.  I simply pointed out how many view this.

Glad my reputation precedes me. LOL

I can't be sure why you seem so aggressive at other ladies on the boards, London?  
I don't know you, have never spoken to you, we don't have beef.
most certainly I do not appreciate being called "stupid" by you or anyone.  

I don't think it makes me unintelligent or reckless to have a social networking site as a companion, with my companion information.

It sounds like it's not what works for you, or some of the others on this thread. That's fine.  
Me, It works for me

must be conviction. I have many women I highly respect on here, because they are not idiots.  I don't know how you took my post as rude or even about you, because all I did was give examples of what has happened to OTHER people who use those sites.  

I stated the facts, and the facts are those sites get hacked ALL THE TIME, and emails are sent out to random people from accounts we think we still have control of. I called the men sending me emails to join their networks stupid, and they are! They are married!  

When your account gets hacked, and it will, come back and let us know lol.  

How's this for "aggressive" ha ha.

She's just painfully honest.

Let me ask you this...why do you believe social networking is beneficial to your hooker persona?  I would really like to hear the value in it?  

I don't tweet or facebook as I find it completely counter productive.  People are less engaged with other people, and more engaged with electronic devices.  I was sitting in an upscale bar last week, and there were only two individuals who didn't have their full attention in their cell phones.  I sat there drinking a beer thinking, WOW this is what our society has been reduced to.  Nobody socializing with fellow customers, people just sitting with their noses turned down in their cell phones.

But on the flip side, I do not feel advertising prostitution on mainstream Americana sites like Twitter, Facebook and such is smart or discrete.  You may think it works for you, and perhaps it does now, but don't think for a moment it's not likely to blow up in your face at some point.  Prostitution is a crime.  Those sites working for you are inhabited by children, mothers, fathers, grandparents and LE.  

You may think it works for you, but the bottom line, it's not smart.  It's one thing to wave your hooker banner in adult oriented sites such as this.  It's another to crossover to mainstream.   You could wind up at the center of the reality show, America's Dumbest Criminals.

Don't forget that there are CHILDREN on those sites with no adult content warning upon entering. I rest my case. I may as well just have my naked pics and then my child's pics right on the same account if I am going to broadcast my illegal adult business on a site where children are playing around...that's why the adult secton of CL was shut down, and pretty soon they will get Twitter for the same reason.

She links to a Twitter post that says "she has better things to do with her energy than toying with us rude people" yet has gone back and forth via PM with me for the last hour lol. Now, I will call you stupid, Olivia. Go report this post, take your meds, and show your naked body to some more kids! Bravo. What a role model.

-- Modified on 9/5/2013 12:44:46 AM

I just followed the link to her twitter page and read her posts.  She's one dizzy hooker.  

Here's a thought Olivia, just stop posting mindless drivel on the boards, then you won't have to complain about the mongers of TER being rude and mean to you.

Her twitter page made me vomit a little in my mouth this morning...I'll never look at Oysters the same.

Maybe she will follow Miley Cyrus tweets, and learn how to class it up a bit.

She said I should "be very careful of which guys I side with because they are blacklisted and it could ruin my rep." Um, pay attention crazy girl. I've been a bitch since day one to morons who have no clue what they are talking about, and do you see my rate decreasing? See me running specials every month? Any "pick me" posts or tossing of my website link to garner more attention? That would be a resounding NO lol. I refer OTHER women for work, not myself because I simply don't need it.  

I don't give a fk what you or anyone on this board thinks about who I see, or what I post. I would have slit my wrists long ago if your opinion meant anything to me or my business ha ha. Thanks for playing little mouse.

a friend noted that no one should "Friend" anyone who is at all in the "adult entertainment" business.  This includes bartenders, strippers, adult film stars, escorts, 'hosts' and whatever else may be deemed a part of the underbelly of society.  Humm?!

My comment to that person was the person in question was she is 1) a student at a state university, 2) has multiple jobs, 3) is on her university cheerleading squad 4) has a 3.9 GPA and 5) spent the summer in CA doing movies, all legit with big name stars.  In short she is a legit young lady putting herself through college, asking nothing she didn't earn from anyone.  But she does not escort.

I would not expect many of the ladies who escort to offer up their personal facebook page to any of her clients, but maybe they would create a "fake one" to "be social."  However, I am very aware of how easy it would be to hack the account and determine the true identity of the person.  This is why my facebook page is totally boring, and is there as a repository of family photos.  there is nothing salacious about it.  That some would not see the dangers puzzles me.  I asked because of the current NSA issue and the fact that ANY posting - whether it be backpage, citivibe, craig's list, eros - heck even TER is monitored by the NSA's efforts to be aware  of all electronic communications, it is a matter of desire and manpower to "do something about" what they "find out."  In short, no e-communication is safe from prying eyes....  the "powers that be" simply have "bigger fish" to fry.

What caught me off guard, was the offense taken to candid comments about the danger of "electronically putting yourself out there."  This is a discussion board which I have brought many issues, some common to us all, and some specific to me.  While criticism, in some instances, has been brutal, in the privacy of my own brain, I have reflected upon and valued the input.  Where I disagree, I too have been candid and frank, but (except on the P&R board) respectful.  Lets face it folks, this is a board regarding escorts and the men who seek and use their services.  Anything that alerts the users of this board regarding a potential danger (and not just from LE) deserves your attention and thought, especially the views of those on the side of caution.  I am just surprised that some do not understand the need for caution, and the dangerS presented by the "social media"   London and others who offered that its not totally secure or safe on these outlets, did so to try to assist us all.  Thanks, I appreciate the call to caution

I have met Olivia a few times and I correspond with her on Twitter...not through my Lynette account (which is admittedly dull) but under another handle I use.

I've never found her to be "dizzy," whether in real life or in social media.  I won't share too many details but I do know that she is incredibly intelligent, compassionate (hey, she's put up with me lol!) and she has many patrons who spoil her incredibly, along with being well respected in the demimonde.

But getting over my shill...remember Twitter and etc...is all fictional, just like these fantasy reviews are here.  It's not illegal to be a companion/escort.  I agree, it would be foolish to post or tweet something explicit, but I don't see that sort of thing coming from any of my Twitter friends.  Well, aside from the ones in Australia! :p

Namaste

???
Just sayin you have a nice butt.

I've never had a problem with you or uttered a bad word about you, but we will just have to disagree on this one. I would be happy to foward you her CRAZINESS about any woman who does not broadcast her ass and shout this life from the rooftops, must hate her job and herself. Yea, a lot of discreet escorts with common sense really hate their jobs lol. What she fails to realize is we are not in the sex industry for our mainstream careers, like she is. I mean who really cares if some sex speaker gets paid to screw married men? Well, they do care about their CEO or Nurse doing it.  

A "sane" and "intelligent" person would not go beg her twitter buddies to chime in on this thread and bash TER publicly. Smart indeedy.

I guess from reading all this I am not sure what to think about the general population... and then to ask myself why are so many people "Angry" (not just on this board/thread... im talking in general) and I say well they have pent up sexual frustrations they have no outlet for... but then I read this thread and im confused...

I've come to the conclusion that two phrases I grew up on don't seem to have much weight anymore...

1) "One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself"
2) "if you don't have something nice (or constructive) to say, don't say anything until you can"

We should be able to do with whatever we feel good about (Or why are you in this hobby? to be frustrated, pissed off, and aggravated?)  and for providers obviously you gals have to make cash or it would not make much sense working 9-5 and then do this on the side that you can't afford to live off of? with that being said, really people do you think by even going to this site your shit isn't being logged, spy'd on etc... hell the jokes out, the pres himself likes to read the "Fiction" written on here... so in general discreet means a whole lot to someone and means 180degress to someone else...  

Am I the only one with 10 email accounts, 4 blablabla accounts, 2 hobby phones, etc, discrete? are you kidding me, not a single one of us is really that discrete, everyone has a fatal flaw that could get you in trouble... its all just a matter of time... as of late, it seems the people who have been boasting about being discrete seem to be getting photos posted with LE asking for information about them...  

Come on people we really should be smarted than we think... not the other way around...

At the end of the day lets just all get laid and try to smile once in a while... life is short and this shit is supposed to be fun/enjoyable.... not daily soaps...

I have both Facebook and Twitter accounts. Only 2 of my clients are my Facebook friends.
