This morning I woke up to the enchanting sounds of my dog vomiting next to my bed. I don’t mean to brag, but I’ve had better mornings.
But! Scroll down to check out what came in the mail! That made this day much better. Now, someone invite me over, and you can see it in person!
In other news, I’m still getting lots of questions via email. The latest was kind of absurd, but at least it was entertaining:
Hi Annie,
I don’t see myself as a potential client, so I won’t be offended if you don’t continue reading.
Well, at least he’s honest.
Just wanted to let you know that I really appreciated your “No digital breadcrumbs” entry. I’ve struggled with the idea of verification, especially given that I’m not looking for the conventional experience. Have you ever had clients that were not interested in sex or a girlfriend experience (e.g. kissing), but just in seeing you unclothed? If you haven’t, would that immediately throw up a giant red flag?
My response:
Potential clients contact me for a variety of reasons, and not all of them are interested in sex or any of the little things generally included in “the girlfriend experience.” So, to answer your question, no, that would not be a red flag. However, most clients don’t really talk about that in the initial email, so I probably wouldn’t know that that’s what they’re looking for until I meet with them. But I’m a people-pleaser, so as long as the request isn’t for something dangerous or something that I believe is just plain wrong, I’m more than happy to tailor our sessions to satisfy my clients’ unique and varied desires.

And then I got a second email from him:
Hey Annie,
Thanks for the insight. I have a follow-up type question that you might answer if you find yourself bored at work (which I obviously often do). I am a pretty cautious person with a relatively creative imagination. In my imagination, if I met with an escort (for any reason), they would have at least some of my contact info. I would definitely select someone who was careful and intelligent, and such a person would be likely to hang on to that info. I trust that person would not freely give that info away, but would still save it for any number of rainy day scenarios (some of which involving the police). As a result, someday I get a phone call or a knock on the door. Do you ever see a scenario like that playing out in real life?
In my reply, I address a few of the things he’d said:
“In my imagination, if I met with an escort (for any reason), they would have at least some of my contact info.”
Yep.
“I would definitely select someone who was careful and intelligent, and such a person would be likely to hang on to that info.”
Perhaps. Many escorts regularly delete their emails. Some delete the ones with sensitive/identifying information.
“I trust that person would not freely give that info away, but would still save it for any number of rainy day scenarios (some of which involving the police).”
Why the hell would an escort SAVE your contact info for the police? Come on, man. That doesn’t even make sense.
“As a result, someday I get a phone call or a knock on the door.”
From whom? The police? Because you may or may not have spent time with an escort at some point? An email is not proof that you’ve met the provider, nor is it proof that you’ve exchanged money for sex. You may have discussed exchanging money for time, but that’s perfectly legal.
“Do you ever see a scenario like that playing out in real life?”
LOL, no. I don’t.
…or are you afraid the knock/phone call will be from the escort you contacted? Look, I can’t speak for everyone, but I will say that I don’t know anyone in this business who would just suddenly decide to stop by the home of someone who was once a client. If you do get a phone call, it’s probably because she forgot to delete your number in her phone, and “butt-dialed” you.
If you’re afraid of shady characters doing ridiculous things to endanger your safety and privacy, do your research and don’t meet with shady characters. That’s what we do. Why else do you think we screen our clients before meeting with them?
And worst case scenario, let’s pretend a gentleman was crass and reckless and ignorant enough to offer a lady money for sex. That would be considered solicitation, which is a misdemeanor in Louisiana. Do police generally go knocking on people’s doors based only on the fact that they found an email in which the person in question discussed the possibility of committing a misdemeanor crime? Maybe, maybe not. But I can’t say I’ve heard of that happening lately. Still, it’s best to use your head (you know which one I’m talking about!), do your research, and behave accordingly.
…After all, what’s worse: missing out on a lot of fun, or having to do a little homework every once in a while?
