1. I don't just save numbers of idiots I don't want to see, I block them, to reduce the amount of times a day my phone rings/pings.
2. I keep kinky stuff lined up by the bed a lot (handcuffs, gags, masks etc) because even guys who aren't into it see them, they often ask to try, and it helps fill up the time. Also, introducing light kink/tie&tease etc can help if the guy is a bit unpleasant in one way or another because it's less intimate and gives me some distance.
3. I don't ever give out a postcode until they make a confirmed booking.
4. I take deposits for more or less all pre-bookings.
5. I use a playlist to keep track of the time.
6. I no longer take anything that gets said about me by clients, in person or online, to heart, the good stuff or the bad,I don't allow my esteem to be based on this job or their fickle opinions.
7. I stopped trying to fit into a cliched idea of how an escort is supposed to dress/act... just being my rumpty own self is much less exhausting.
