Hi, if you’re working incall and asking for ID and selfies you probably will get knocked back a lot. Tbh you’ll get a million time wasters and no shows to start, and sounds silly but it’s kind of good because you’ll start to be a really good judge of character of who’s genuine and who’s not.

I usually trust my gut feeling so I insist on phone calls only for first bookings, so I can get a feel of who they are, and what they might be like.
I expect a brief discussion of area/time/how long, and then I ask what area they are from so I can eliminate my neighbours! If they start talking about sex in a descriptive manor I know they are wanking and not gonna show. If they ask something simple like ‘just checking it’s ow or owo’ ‘could you wear stockings’ then that’s a bit different. I only want to be on the phone for about 3-4 mins.

Money first always, some are different but I leave it on the side. I don’t leave the room if I can help it.
I wouldn’t leave client in the room to go to car, you don’t know what they will do to your stuff!

Incall in a hotel is much safer, I also have a panic alarm in my condom bag next to bed anyway, just in case.

I have a large travel bag that I leave in my car for ease. Happy to explain what I have if you want extra info, I’ve tried to pack clever and minimal as poss.

This forum is the best thing you can read for all info. It’s helped me massively, I’ve read back years worth of questions and answers. Use the search bar for everything!

You can do incalls from hotel rooms, apartments, or your home. (or anywhere else you want to receive visitors ) As above, get the money first then you can invite them to take a shower while you stash the cash somewhere safe.

Asking for references from other providers is more common in the US where prostitution is illegal.

Regarding working an hour or so away from home, be aware that some clients will have the same idea so you might want to take phone bookings even just to gauge their local accent and reduce the chances of seeing someone too local.
