Always go with your gut instinct. If something doesn’t feel right about a situation or person then don’t go ahead with it. That should be the number one rule in this profession.

I had someone call me late one night last year and I immediately had a bad gut feeling about him. But I chose to ignore it and met him anyway, only to be assaulted and mugged. This particular client had been abusing cocaine so it wasn’t hard for me to know something was wrong about him when he called. Iv met lots of clients who have been taking cocaine in the past but something felt especially wrong about this client. Our instincts are there to protect us and we must always follow them.

Your safety and well-being should always be paramount and no amount of monetary value should ever get in the way of that.

Yes he paid me £250 for 2 hours which I had put in my safe. Then he asked for an immediate refund because he couldn’t function properly due to the drugs he had taken. So I told him I’d have to keep £90 as that’s the minimum rate as it was also late at night. But he threatened me and demanded a full refund so I opened my safe then he went through my safe and took all his money back along with stealing £40 of my own money. He then almost ran off with my phones and I was so distraught. I felt totally violated after meeting him as he totally crossed my boundaries. I’m just glad that he didn’t leave any marks on me and it was only £40 that he stolen. He was raising his voice at me in my hotel room which made me feel really uncomfortable as I didn’t want anyone else to hear what was going on.

I wouldn’t have usually accepted his booking but I was trying to save up to go to America. We should never allow ourselves to be in situations where we feel we have to accept a client that makes us feel uncomfortable because we feel we need the money so much.

So sorry this happened to you. I hate when these things happen, it can make you feel so vulnerable. I know you said, its been a year, but i hope he didn't affect you too badly mentally, and I hope you are feeling better now. It can really depress you, and make you want to go home early,  during a tour, when this happens. Word of advice........what i do, when i used to tour is asked the client to go into the bathroom, when he hands over his fee.  Politely ask him to step into the bathroom, while you put away the money. I then put his money separate from my previous takings, that way he will only steal his own money back and not your previous money.  Never ! put the current clients money, with your other money. Dont let the client see your safe either. Make him go into the bathroom. Dont use the safe,  while he is in bathroom. Hide his fee somewhere else in the room.
Stay safe x
