Hi, I'm thinking of escorting to earn a little extra cash.
Could anyone give me some advice, pros, cons ect.
Also does anyone know of any good agencies in the Liverpool, NorthWest area?

Thanks so much

I would also think VERY carefully before you even dip your feet in the water.

Once you become a sex worker you cant 'unbecome' one. 

I totally agree with what Amy says and read, read and read some more before you make that educated decision.

Good Luck with your choice.

Thanks for your replies, I only asked about the agencies because I thought it was a little safer?

This is a common misapprehension which is, obviously and unfortunately, encouraged by many agencies who actually not give a stuff about the safety of the girls they're sending out to meet clients. Even worse, they give the girls a false sense of security by saying, "Oh yes, we'll send someone to help you if you get into trouble, just call us. We'll call the police for you" etc etc when actually, "agents" are pimps (i.e. criminals) who are usually also big-time money-launderers (i.e. mega-criminals) who will NOT be notifying the police even if you go missing entirely.

It's fine to do agency work but not without your own security. Someone who cares about you - and who isn't making money from you - must know where you are while you're shut in a room with a client. And they need to know when you'll be finished so they can call you to make sure you're not dead. Sorry to be blunt there! Nasty clients are actually very rare, but they DO exist (you can see a few examples in our Warnings section here or on the Uglymugs website here: http://www.uknswp.org/ugly-mugs/) and the only real way to deter them is to let every client know that somebody - not an agent/pimp, but somebody who genuinely cares - knows where you are.

Even more usefully, a safety buddy is someone who can give you feedback on booking requests. It's really common in this industry for our gut instinct to kick in and shriek "Don't meet this guy!" at us but we assume we are overreacting because he hasn't yet done anything really wrong. If you're in this position, you can tell your buddy about the booking and ask what they think - they'll almost certainly say it's best not to go, but that if you do decide to see that client then you will both be on high alert. This extra bit of feedback from a third party can really encourage you to be cautious rather than to dismiss your instincts as 'overreacting'.

All this sort of information is readily available on the main site (http://www.saafe.info) and the forum - you can browse generally and/or search for specific terms like 'security', 'timewaster', 'condoms', 'health check', 'OWO' etc - so if you do a lot of reading and research here you'll find yourself much better equipped to enter the industry in a safe and successful manner.

Nervousness hits at any time, but I was bricking it for my first meet. Luckily it was a good experience for me.

Try it and see if you like it.

But be very careful
