There might be reasons to give the house their cut, but in the end there is no added value. Is not like I'll enjoy better intimacy or get a better blow job. The are plenty of independent ladies with all the right attributes to have a great time, no need to involve a third party middle-man.

I would imagine that you are an independent, I can't recall having seen an agency ever advertise for a transsexual

Having someone dedicated to the scheduling tasks tends to lead to a quicker response and ability to book on short notice.

If I find the provider hot and I feel like making her acquaintance, I will see her whether she is Indy or with an agency. When all is equal, I would prefer an Indy as there is less of a chance that the phone will ring advising me my time is up. I really hate that, especially when it is before my time is over.

By the way, there is an agency here in Chicago that used to have a transsexual lady on their roster (ECE) but she appears to have left recently.

Independents cost less than agency girls, and they're less likely to be overworked.  Some agencies will have the ladies doing back to back appointments all day long, and that's a little too close to the way pimps operate for me.

...whether agency or independent.
