I think it's nice to be thoughtful and considerate during bookings but do not put yourself out, from my experience clients don't particularly appreciate it, won't treat you any better and can start to take liberties.

It also comes across as if you're putting down other escorts who work differently to you? I don't think there's anything wrong with retouching or setting realistic cum limits.

To answer your questions:

I've found that timewasters purposely avoid giving definitive information and will evade progressing the conversation for as long as you'll allow them to in the hopes you'll continue talking and may even warm to them and become friends.

A lot of escorts don't go to private residences for that exact reason, I personally do but for outcalls I require proof of location (hotel confirmation or copy of a bill) so that I know their name, they're actually there and should something happen to me that person can be found. Don't do anything you aren't comfortable with though.

Do you offer RO? A lot of clients in the UK seem to believe OWO is standard and I suppose a lot of escorts offer it for this reason, you may miss out on bookings but do you care to see men that don't care to respect your limits? Some escorts don't offer it and seem to get as many clients as they want/need.

I read somewhere that oral carries a lower risk and I've never had any issues, I do also get regularly tested with oral, vaginal and anal swabs.

I don't answer my work phone during bookings and have my personal phone on do not disturb with a couple exceptions, most people know that I'm working so if they ring it's because they need to speak to me and depending on who it is (parents, friends in continually precarious situations) I'll excuse myself and keep the conversation brief.

The first set of points, forget about them. How others work is none of your concern and it's better to use your energy on the things can control and promoting what you offer and do well .

I don't visit private residences, nor do I offer OWO (or RO) and I do fine - the punters who don't book because they want unprotected oral are quickly replaced by those who ONLY book people who don't offer it. Punters will know if you're doing a service you're not comfortable with and it will show, just as it will if you're happy and relaxed! It does depend how much you want to do outcalls, I suppose - I'm not bothered and I do maybe half a dozen a year tops. So far this year I have done four

I wouldn't answer my phone in front of a punter; I've very occasionally done it if I've run over a bit and they're on the way out, but only to ask them to call back in a couple of minutes. I've answered the odd text whilst they're in the shower.

Timewasters don't deserve the headspace you're giving them. That said, not using or wanting to use the AS booking form doesn't automatically make anybody a timewaster (or I would be one ).

I only do out-calls to hotels, too, at least for new clients. If I'd seen someone before and they struck me as OK I'd probably go to their house.

Personally I think it's very bad form to leave your phone on, let alone answer it, during a booking. I turn my off when the client arrives - which also means I've double-checked the start time.

I don't think you can make sweeping generalisations about how others work, or even know. I always offer a drink, clean them up and don't clock watch, but I don't let them take the piss either.

OW/OWO is a personal thing IMO. It is definitely higher risk to do OWO, especially if you also do CIM. It is a popular service, but then with the news of e.g. oral gonorrhoea some punters are becoming risk averse and going for OW. I think if you choose the right condom, do it well, and market yourself as the 'safe' option it should balance out with losing the OWO brigade.

1. Because cunts of a feather flock together

2. I used to do residential outcalls but now I only do hotel unless it's someone I've met before.

3. I bloody hate doing OW - the thingy on the condom catches in my tonsils (especially since I do DT.) It's all about personal preference and your own risk assessment. Personally I'd rather enjoy my bookings and accept the minor risk of contracting contracting gonorrhea or chlamydia orally. BTW condoms don't necessarily protect against HSV and HPV since they are often not on the penis but the surrounding area.

4. I would never answer my phone during a booking unless we had over-run and the client was aware of that. Equally I consider it very rude if a client answers his phone during our time.

You really don't know what the others are doing. How do you know what they are doing, cos the punters tell you? Such a reliable source.
Photoshopping, again, this is down to the individual. Punters realise and if really bad they won't return.

1) Don't think about them. I take the piss out of them as much as I can, especially the phone ones. I keep them on the phone, they get nothing, and someone who doesn't realise they are pests will be left alone.

2)I only do outcalls. I have my systems in place.

3) Oral with and have flavoured lube just for this that isn't that bad.

4) No, I don't. How unprofessional. It would be like me being in a meeting with the bank manager or whatever and them taking personal calls. My phone is on silent from the moment I go in. At the end, I will use it whilst I am in the bathroom

when I used to work I never offered them a drink unless it was a long booking then
I would say half way threw would you like a hot drink or some water I have friends
That get beer in and wine which I never did . When I worked from home I used to
Put expensive aftershave in there for them to use and nice posh soaps when they
Got taken I just used put some 1 pound spray and 1 pound male showe gel for them .
I always gave full time and never rushed there time .

My photos were selfies taken off my phone so not photo shopped but did have a couple
Of professional ones up too . I never once did owo when working and I still did pretty
Well in this industry I don’t feel like you have too you should only do what you feel
Comfortable doing and no I never answered the phone when in a booking x

1. I have to say, most of my time wasters have never done that, just endlessly parade about on when they'll book while asking for freebies.

2. I've done outcall to homes quite a few times. I'd say only if you get the postcode/road in advance so you can scope it out.

3. As a scientist, OWO is insanely low risk for STIs. Sure you can get herpes, but 70% of the population has oral herpes (had a cold sore? You've got herpes), most of us get it by 5 years old orally. Then you can't ever get it again. HPV, actually leads to better outcomes of oral cancers. Chlamydia and gonorrhea, very rare. Syphilis, you should spot the rash/sore easy, contact with that transfers it.

That said, entirely your choice the risk you're willing to take. I opt for OWO because I've nearly choked on a condom doing deepthroat more than once.

4) never ever, ever answer the phone when with a client. At least in my opinion I never do, it just seems extremely distasteful.

As for the rest, I offer a shower and drink on arrival, and as per my profile offer multiple orgasms (but I pretty much only do long bookings, so it is rather expected).
