usual concerns of a new girl ;-)
« on: 29 March 2008, 01:12:10 am »
hi girls,
i was thinking about escorting for a long time and i really find this website usefull. i am currently based in amsterdam and i am thinking to apply to one of the agencies. besides the question if i am really able to do this job i am also worried for my privacy. in my country i am publicly expoused and i wouldn't like my future job to be discovered. for example, the agency i am thinking to apply to is requesting photos, and i am not sure if i should send them the blurred ones. how am i going to work with them if i don't trust them? working alone seems to risky for me, somehow i feel more secure with the agency. i might be very wrong, i don't know. also in my paranoid ideas clients could somehow record what we do, did it ever happen to any of you? i guess they are mostly married and wouldn't like people to know what they are doing but still... about the sex itself, i am mostly worried that the clients would not be very gentle. does that worry have any sense? also, i think that if i would engage with an agency, it would be illegal (i am here on student's visa) and i am wondering how could i protect myself of being discovered by the police. if anyone has experience with escorting in amsterdam, please contact me.
kisses...

Well done for thinking about the future. There is rarely a shortage of agencies to work for (even for men in Amsterdam) so pick one you do trust and which will accept blurred photos.

Have you tried asking at the sex work centre in the red light district? If you can read Dutch, they have what looks like a very good book on working in the Netherlands.

They may well know the answer about the visa - it will depend on what sort of work that allows and what the deal is between you and the agency. In the UK, I don't think you can be 'self employed' on student visas, but that's the way agencies want to treat their staff. In the Netherlands, I've no idea.

thanks Richard. I really feel I need to try this, but it is so risky. firstly, I think it would be illegal and secondly I can't afford that it gets known what I do. for this last concern, internet is the biggest danger, I guess. anyway, will let you know about my progress.

Just a brief note on pictures lovely, crop, do not blur. The blur can be lifted with a computer program
to show your identity.

Good luck.  :)

oh, I really don't know what to do. So far I found one agency which looks decent, in a sence that girls' faces are covered and rates rather high comparing to others, but they ask pics for the application. Is it a big deal if I send them? I don't think that they would publish them without my approval. Anyway, I would probably have to do new pics and then, if they organize that, they would have pics as they were taken.
About the rates, this agency charges up to 1000 euros for 2 hours. I guess that it goes fifthy-fifthy, right? In the case that I am right, is it a good price?

67 (you) - 33 (them) seems to be more common in the UK, with better places offering 75-25.

Whether or not blurring can be undone depends on which filter is used - if in doubt, just wear a mask :)

Given that their site features people with disguised faces, they're probably ok, but why take the chance? If they want to see you, they'll ask you to an interview anyway.

I have learnt that, in my situation, there is no way that I could work legally. Maybe you don't have experience with these issues, but still, I was wondering if anyone could give me advice.  I assume that there is not much chance that I would be caught if working for an agency. Espacially if it is small one, opearting in more than on country. I would probable be best advised if asked them directly, but then I don't know how onest they would be. Also, I would provide only with outcalls.

People locally should know what sort of interest the police etc take in agencies. There, it's probably not much. If the one you're thinking of has been around for ages, that's a good sign, for example.

I'd be slightly concerned about one that operates in more than one country - not only more than one set of laws to obey, more than one police force / tax / immigration authority to notice it etc, but also how's a 'small' agency going to have the ad budget to do that successfully? - but again if it's been around for years...

I'd also be a bit more concerned if their existing staff were overwhelmingly also from outside the country (more chance of immigration authorities wanting to know who's legally working).

Even if you do get caught, I'd expect the worst that would happen is being deported, possibly after a fine for the unpaid taxes. Plus if you don't give the agency your legal name etc, you'd need to be caught 'on the job' which is highly unlikely.
