I read, I understand, I'm not naive.
No way are the odds "pretty much equal". If you really believe that. It's not if, but when, that you be going downtown.
No. I do not think escorts eliminate the risk of rip off, LE, bad job, or STD, but it should be fairly obvious that the risk is significantly increased with a SW. Re-read my post. I said that a "well reviewed" escort greatly reduces all 4 of those risks. A provider with a personal website typically has a more cautious approach to protect herself from these things too. She's working for a living, not the next fix. Also, I'd wager that charging $$ is going to keep her a lot safer than. 4 and a ride back to the corner.
Do you read these SW reports? Fellow mongers pulled over. Crack pipes. Working for fix. Too tweeked out. The trannie surprise. Needing a separate SW scale to judge her appearance. Senior mongers having LE pull alongside and shake their heads. You might have not gotten pulled, but if you don't think they jotted your license plate number down for next time, you are nuts. There are 22 additional rules for SWs just to mitigate the increased risk.
#1. We all know what the best part is? Would that the happy ending? Then SW vs. Escort equal there. But then again so is staying home with porn and rosy palms.
#2 is the hunt. Trolling the Loop is a thrill, sure. Understand that the thrill is in dodging the increased risk. Consider that it can be just as thrilling for the 'discriminating hunter' who reads websites, see her pictures, reads reviews to determine her legitimacy and professionalism. And makes an informed decision. Never having to play the "are you a cop" game, because you've done your homework.
#3. The $$$ vs. 4. Yea, you got me there. A single $$$ per month encounter could be spread out to become a 3x / week habit. But wouldn't the additional 11 encounters per month increase your risk of something bad by that much more? And 1 bust and you're paying it back. Got any idea what the cost of getting busted is? Lawyers, courts, time in jail, your SO finding out, divorce, lost job, lost community respect, oops- she was a runaway teen and now you're a Megan's Law felon. Is that really worth saving $?
For those who say YES. Well, I do appreciate you who frequent the streets. It's fun to read your reports. But really, I thank you, because as long as you're trolling Chamb and JD, the LEOs will stay focused on busting you and the "public nuisance" of SWs. And they'll stay away from Broad/Glenside and the Innsbrook hotels.
Stay safe
[QUOTE=Piercedman01]Simple answer YES it is worth it! I lived in Memphis before moving to the RIchmond area and I tell you the hunt is the second greatest part, we all know what the best part of it is. Every time I go out I think who am I going to find today, Will I find the girl that my fellow monger was talking about? You also have to look at the price difference someone on (CL) can range from $$ to $$$ while someone on the street usually goes for a lot less. Do you think that you can't get ripped off by escourts, can't run into LE with escourts, bad performance with an escourt, or get an STD with an escourt? The odds are pretty much equal. The only difference between an escourt and a street walker is the amount charged and a website. If I get 2 numbers from this site and they both are willing to do incall how would I know the difference in an escort and the streetwalker. [/QUOTE]
