Lets share our safety tips
« on: 23 March 2015, 08:39:12 am »
Hello girls,
I think its unfair that we as escorts have to face danger so why not sharing safety tips mine are:
- a bottle of hair spray by my side of the bed ( to use in the eyes of a guy if he attacks)
-panic button ( large choices online)
- investing in CCTV camera is not a waste as it scares the buggers...
- if you have a dog like I have then have it trained  to protect you in case of danger
- put your money and belongings out of the house at all time
--use the service of a security guy at affordable price
-do not give your full address find a way of seeing the clients by the window without him knowing yet where you live, this way you can check if he s alone and if he s what he says over the phone.
-Ask your clients if they carry a large bag to leave it at the entrance or you put it in a way that he cannot find it easily and his mobile too. You ll give them back to him as he leaves.
-Its also good to ask the client kindly if he can leave his shoes out of the bedroom (very useful for security).
-Its never a waste to learn self-defense
-working late at night means you expose yourself to drunk and druggie beware its best to loose money than have problems.
We all deserve peace of mind and its not fair that not only society rejects us for what we do ,we also are vulnerable at our work place, so time to change that!!!

Client is never out of my vision even when in the bathroom.
I never turn my back on a client.
My phone is hidden nearby and on speed dial to 999.

So where do you put your fees when he hands it over ? I usually go into another room (hence he not being in my view and me turning my back to him...)

Since this is a public forum, would this not be best in the private section of the forum? X

I thought that but the more I thought about it new members should get access to threads like this right away (I personally think) and anyway, there's nothing wrong with clients knowing we're clued up with CCTV, scary dogs, panic buttons, no money on the premises, little tolerance for drunks and the ability to knee someone in the nuts.

I don't think society as such rejects us, what needs to change is victim blaming/slut shaming and conviction rates for sex crimes.

On topic I keep sweat pants and a tshirt in my boiler room with my phone so I have clothes to throw on if I need to change and go hide in the bathroom.
I don't have razors/nail scissors in the bathroom
Rape alarm down the side of the bed
Also I read making yourself sick is a good deterrant as most people can stand the smell of sick.
If I need to leave the room I keep talking to them as most people can't do two things at once and you can tell by their tone of voice if they're relaxed or seem distracted.

I put the money somewhere while he's watching and then move it when he's in the bathroom.

Shall we maybe move away from the 'security' stuff (ie stop encouraging people to make detailed posts about what they do with their cash) and try to back to 'safety', as per the thread topic?

I don't agree with several of the OPs tips (punters can be drunk or high at any time of the day, and nobody 'needs' to pay a 'security guy') but I do agree that it's important everybody gives safety some thought even if we all wind up doing different things :).

I'll add: don't wear dangly or loose jewellery that could be grabbed or get tangled easily in hair/clothing and hurt you, don't wear clothing you need to pull over your head to remove as it's too easy to 'straitjacket' you and don't ever accept food or drink that you haven't seen opened in front of you.

And always make sure somebody knows where you are and what time you should be back/finished; it's usual for outcalls but if you can team up with somebody for incall check ins too, so much the better. Making it clear that somebody who isn't there but may be close by knows the score and is expecting to hear from you is a powerful deterrent for opportunists who might otherwise have chanced their arm.

Just done a bit of research as since I started this job, I would of liked it if pepper spray was legal to use for my safety. Obviously it's not, but there is a non noxious gas version which is 100% legal to use in the UK. It's called farb gel, going to get myself one along with a rape alarm - why I hadn't already invested in a rape alarm is beyond me! Silly girl! Lol. Google it, it looks like brilliant stuff. Just obviously using these things in your own home, I hope I don't wreck my own furniture/carpet etc, but obviously my safety is more important than furnishings. It's either that, or one of those combined rape alarms that emits a horrible smell and invisible uv staining. Not sure which I'd prefer in my house, a horrendous smell that is difficult to get rid of or red staining that's difficult to get rid of lol xox

A friend of mine accidentally got sprayed with a purple/red spray like that.  It ruined the clothes he was wearing and dyed his hair. With a lot of scrubbing it came off his skin. Although he was red from being scrubbed so hard.  Hair spray as an adhesive can be quite effective at giving you extra time to get away. However it does require more accuracy.

Safety things I do include:

Having a long coat which I leave on/next to my bag.  If I have to leave in a hurry I can grab bag and coat at the same time and get outside and be able to cover myself up.
Note exit routes and large windows as I enter.  I do this when I enter any building so quite practiced anyhow (i sometimes become convinced buildings will burn down - I always know a number of exits to a place)
Inform the client my friend has all the details of where I am etc.
Turn of my work phone, but leave my personal phone on but on silent - if I need to ring emergency services there is no phone turning on faff.


Sure there are other things but I can't think of them right now, a lot have been 2nd nature habits of where I place things etc.

The problem with pepper spray is that it will absolutely ruin the room for a while. You'd have to get the carpets cleaned and then air it out before you could ever use the room again. That would be OK on an outcall but you would NOT want it in your own room. It's really not something to use indoors, even if you're somewhere where it's legal.

I have a rape alarm, but it's stupidly in my handbag..  ::) Will move it to my bedside cabinet as soon as I finish writing this post  ;)
I also have my phone within reach at all times, I've got a , well something I can protect myself with, within reach at all times,
and I put my money in another room as soon as they hand it over, where clients are a) not allowed and b)it would take them a good while to find it if they went looking for it, a lot longer than it would take for me to either get help, phone someone, etc. etc..
I don't have to be perfect, but I'm perfect at being me!
