I'd do a search here Bettie; there's plenty of information on New York, certainly

.
I have no idea what the above post is about, but whoring in the US isn't any more dangerous than here provided you screen properly - the main difference is that if something does go wrong it's a lot more difficult to call the police (which is where the screening comes in, as people up to no good know this).
One thing you won't find help with on the board is recommendations for pimps, though. Somebody might know something and be able to PM but whilst I can help with all sorts of stuff (and I was in New York last week) I'd chew off my own arm before I put myself in a situation where somebody else's greed and stupidity could put me in jail.
