Out of my 415 clients from the survey, 6 reported being arrested, 7 physically assaulted, 26 got a STI, and 92 were stolen from.

Thanks for coming here to comment!

> 92 were stolen from.

Wow, that's a 22% chance of being robbed.

If you're paying $1200 for "company", in cash, I reckon it would be unusual to also carry much more than a tip. My guess is the people who got robbed were at the low-cost end of the trade. Or maybe the men that got robbed were rapey anyway, and not a good bet for future business.

Thank you for this insightful post.

I can only imagine the courage it takes to write something like this (you briefly hinted at the end).

Really appreciate your efforts to bring light and improve safety in a difficult line of work.

I too hope it doesn't affect your work, although I suspect you would get some unwanted attention with this exposure.

92/415 is a lot!

Wow you should just plan to be robbed

It is probably a similar rate to what happens at a las vegas strip club. They get you drunk then ask for your credit card and put 5k on it.

They don't do that to ~25%(!!!!) of customers. You can't continuously run an above the table business involving card processors if even 1/10th of those people do a charge-back.

That 22% is a lifetime figure, not a per-occurrence figure. I've had my credit card info stolen several times, yet the fraud rate per transaction is way below 1%.

with an average number of escort per client at 26, and at least some of them being repeat customers (but possibly some of them being robbed multiple times), it doesn't look that much... Well below 1% per act.
