Did you seriously expect any of us to agree to meet you for coffee and cake? Some clients have a nosey on here to see what we're chatting about, so imagine all the budding entrepreneurs who would emerged if any of us openly agreed to this ludicrous form of bartering. With many of us having rates of ?1-5 per minute then even the most expensive of coffee and cake wouldnt make it past the chocolate sprinkles and marshmallows stage. It'd be time to go before it's ready. So unless you're willing to pay our transparently stated fees then I doubt you'll get any takers. It's actually very rude. I'd never dream of asking you, as a barrister, to provide me with legal advice for a coffee.

James I can't believe you've used your real email address and not a throwaway on here.  You realise that this idea is now linked to your real world career?

If you think some people have been unnecessarily rude, it's because we get one of these posts every single week in life.

To sum it up

- Adultwork have the monopoly on this market, and they have an app already
- Prostitution isn't for everyone, I love my job but wouldn't recommend it to everyone.  It's not a good way of thinking that    you want to make it more accessible as a career choice
- Nobody who is independent is going to pay 10% of her earnings as a booking fee - whether it's lower than brothels and agencies is irrelevant because we made the choice not to work in one - and operating in this way truely isn't within the law, you are controlling for gain.
- We need clients phone numbers for screening and contact purposes - it's not an issue if they have ours as they aren't our real personal phone numbers
- The only acceptable payment in this industry is cash.  Nobody will agree to electronic payments.

Sorry but you are trying to reinvent the wheel here when it's already been invented.

It's a good thing I have a thick skin because you lot can certainly be vicious!


Firstly, that's not my work email address but my own private one. The reason I posted is to try and demonstrate that I have absolutely nothing to hide. I didn't post this in my capacity as a lawyer, I posted in my capacity as an individual. And to be frank I don't care who knows.

And requesting to meet up over a coffee. It was asking for a friendly favour. And you're completely wrong in your assumptions because as lawyers we often do work for other people 'pro bono'.

If you don't like my idea or what I'm trying to do that's completely fine and hearing negative feedback on aspects of it is very helpful. But please avoid throwing baseless insults at me. I'm trying to treat each and every one of you with respect and I would like the same in return
