Been in the hobby almost eight years. Recently, more people request seeing and a copy of your ID. DO NOT DO IT. Pass. Find another person.
I get it. You see an attractive woman and hormones are nuts. Pretty face, perfect body, skin, hair, etc. You want to be with her. It's just an ID right? Here is the issue. An official ID with your address on it can easily destroy you and your entire life. It's not hard for a provider to take a photo of your ID when your clothes are in the bathroom and she's freshening up or cleaning afterward. Imagine hearing a few months later "I'm going to stop by your house and tell your family/wife you were with me at this hotel and show them the photo of your ID with me...unless you send me $500 a month for the next five years." If you're not married - great. But, how many men are?
Now, I am NOT stating all or even many providers would do this. But, ALL IT TAKES IS ONE to do it to everyone she's seen. The blackmail would go on forever and you're stuck. Worse, what if it's not about blackmail and just out of spite? Someone may do it just to destroy the world (as many people do these days).
Again, almost eight years in this hobby I have never given out personal information. It's 100% separate. I have seen more than 20 different ladies and currently use four as references. But, in the last three years a few ladies have required ID. I kindly pass and state why, all the while expressing my understanding of their need for assurance. I need to repeat that. I have no issue with someone requiring ID. But, I choose not to go that route and so far everyone has been okay with it. It's a major risk.
In the end, it's not worth it (for me). There are many beautiful and attractive ladies who do not require ID. Be careful.
