The Client Guide

Covers everything you need to know, or are concerned about, or even things you didn’t know to ask.

THE ROADMAP + FAQ

Things like hotel policies are universal; things like how I handle deposits are unique to me. Just click the topic that interests you most and you’ll have a solid answer for your question. I want to be as transparent about my process as possible, even though no one ever likes to look behind the curtain.

Having a standardized process means no surprises or unaddressed concerns for you. I’m a people-person and a creative; that’s where I prefer to focus. If you can make my necessary administrative work easy, I appreciate it. It’s the considerate approach to meeting a stranger. I try to show the same consideration for you, in advance, by detailing my expectations and logistics here. (You can probably discern what causes the most headaches.)

This is a living, reactive document so expect changes over time.

Screening is a hassle. I don’t screen for fun, I do it because there are a lot of bad guys out there who wouldn’t mind ruining my health or my life. Allowing unverified, random men with potentially-dangerous motivations into my personal space isn’t smart. I like avoiding those on blacklists or with histories of violence against women. This is a reasonable concern for me to have, one that shouldn’t require an explanation but apparently does. If I keep myself safe, by extension, I keep you safe, too. While I enjoy being pleasantly surprised when we share common interests, or you’re quite interesting (my favorite!), I don’t like any surprises about who you are. (The second why behind screening is covered in the sub-section below.)

I do not accept social media accounts or review board handles as screening. I do not accept references. In other words, there are no alternatives to what I request, the sole exception being RS2K’s verification system (and it works best if you’re already established there, not new; though I recognize everyone must start somewhere).

What I request is basic and standard: real name, city/state of residence, real employment information, and the logistics of our time together. If you can’t find yourself online with the info you’ve given me, then I won’t be able to either, because I’m not psychic. If I can’t find you, it means you won’t pass screening.

If you don’t pass screening, I usually don’t bother to respond as it’s a waste of my time to argue about it.

If you pass screening, you’ll hear back from me with confirmation of your request, along with deposit information.

What Screening Is
I need to be able to verify that you are who you say you are, and that you’re employed by who you say employees you. If you own your own business, I need to be able to verify that business as its own legitimate entity. In other words, it needs to be confirmed that you aren’t employed by agencies whose legal enforcers I don’t want to meet. That’s the entire point of employment verification. If we lived under different laws, this wouldn’t be necessary.

If you’re retired, I expect to find evidence of your career online, and perhaps current evidence of the ways you now occupy your time (i.e. your name connected to your activities, like your latest fun-run results).

Successful men leave a professional electronic trail, and that’s what I look for. I look, I don’t interact. I’m a lazy background-checker and if you’re not easily found with some basic Google searches, I move on. Spending an hour Googling “John Smith” because Mr. Smith didn’t provide real/verifiable screening information is not what I consider to be a meaningful way to spend the allotment of my life.

One downside of being a low-volume escort is that I can’t screen you with only an email and your last name because I can’t justify the expense of subscribing to the private-investigator-level databases that would allow me to do that. Which is why I request the information that I do, because I need it. (Keeping it simple also means I’m the only one who ever sees your information, as I don’t have a professional screener on retainer, or any assistants.)

I love it if you make online verification easy: whether with a long-established LinkedIn profile with 500+ connections, interviews, articles, anything about you and your employment and/or professional career that exists online. The more it feels like pulling teeth, the less inclined I am to finish the process. If you’re so unaware of where you work that you don’t know the name of the company that employs you, I’m not sure I’ll be able to help you in any meaningful capacity.

If you already know you can’t pass my lazy screening, you can offer a picture of the front of your state ID, nothing obstructed, plus $50 and I’ll pay a professional screener to screen you. This is a legitimate alternative method that avoids mutual frustration.

Mutual Safety and Discretion
Lying to avoid screening gets you blacklisted. So does wasting my time. I’m a professional and handling sensitive information is part of the package. Not being careless with my safety or yours is also part of it. I no more want my local community to know my private matters than you do. We’re both very much in need of discretion and I do what I can to ensure our time is kept to ourselves. Safety is part of discretion, however. Avoiding unsafe people is a high priority, as it should be for both of us. Keeping myself secure means anyone else I contact is also secure.

Discreet and anonymous are two different things.

Understand that I assume you’re married as that’s the most common reason for men’s paranoia. I also assume that I’ve easily screened others with much higher security clearances than you’ll ever have. Spies have good cover jobs that pass screening.

Yes, I am asking you to trust me with your information in advance of me trusting you with my entire body and well-being. It’s a delicate dance but one to which I know the steps (because I’m a professional), and am always looking to improve (because I’m a professional who cares about my field). If I were attempting to implement some sort of scam, it would work a lot better if I were more approachable, giving myself a wider net of potential scam-ees. My actual net is very small; created by personal preferences and safety-based boundaries.

Having strong rules indicates I’m sincerely offering private companionship and have personal safety as my first principle, far ahead of profit.

Incall is when you come to me (I stay in). Outcall is when I go to you (I go out).

Outcall FYI
Two hour outcalls begin with meeting for cocktails. It’s expected public social time, and creates the date-like atmosphere that I prefer (though we can discard the public time for an additional fee, if you wish). The logistics of who meets who where and when can be hammered out via email, but usually I meet you at your hotel’s bar, or a place within walking distance of your location. Alcohol is not required, we can meet for tea/coffee or even kava!

We exchange phone numbers so I can text you when I arrive, if I am delayed, or if we can’t find each other. (I never call.)

This is the frustrating gap of time between check-in and check-out. Hotels vary their times, but the current standard is: check-out at 11am and check-in at 4pm. (The Marriott brand usually allows for a noon check-out and 3pm check-in). Why does this matter? Because if you want to book time during lunch, you need to understand you’re doomed to failure. (The workaround is to reserve a two-night stay at the hotel, probably not your ideal solution.)

If I’m not coming to your home, then we’re spending time in a hotel (or an Airbnb, whose times follow those of hotels). The hotel gap means our time is limited to: morning (before check-out) or late afternoon/evening. Dayuse is a possible solution, though it works best in large cities. For example, Richmond is not quite large enough to be a reliable solution, DC is.

Deposits are required for all bookings to reserve your time. I don’t consider the time reserved until I receive the deposit. Which means if you delay, you may lose your spot to someone a little more prompt my other work taking your place. Generally, I expect to receive deposits shortly after we agree on a date/time.

You can pay deposits through credit card, emailed gift cards, cryptocurrency, or tangible gift cards. Right now I offer eight options even if this is the first time we’re meeting. I’ve done what I can to give you secure choices. Once you’ve become established, you get two more options.

Deposits are non-refundable if you cancel. If you cancel more than 48hrs in advance, your deposit will apply to your next booking within the next six months. If less than 48hrs notice, you forfeit your deposit entirely, and I expect to be paid in full for the time you reserved.

If I cancel, I refund any deposits or reservations made. I rarely cancel.

Cash Deposits

Deposits are a way of making sure I’m not wasting my time just to get stood up (and even then, it still happens). While you can send cash in the mail, usually when a cash deposit is requested, it’s expected to hand it to me personally. This doesn’t work because I still have to spend time getting ready to meet you, travel to you, and hope you don’t stand me up. I think you can see the circular nature of why in-person cash deposits don’t work.

If you don’t wish to leave a paper trail, I have options for that. You use cash, you just don’t hand it directly to me. (And Fedex isn’t involved, either.)

Hygiene

Fresh breath and a fresh body is important when it comes to personal appeal.

I don’t wear heavy perfume as a courtesy. (I use lightly-scented bath products instead.)

Regarding Covid and other plagues

I am vaccinated and boosted against Covid, vaccinated against various other viruses, take vitamins, drink a lot of water (and tea), and generally do what I can to stay well. I’m an advocate of soap and hot water for solving most problems before they start, especially regarding our hands and monkey-like desire to touch everything we encounter.

I am the full-package nerd. Braces for three years in high school, glasses due to myopia, and asthma. I mention this mostly because my asthma sometimes acts up and I’ll need to use my inhaler. I promise it’s not Covid or anything communicable, it’s likely something environmental upsetting my bronchial tubes. (This is another reason I don’t wear heavy scents, and spend extra money on anti-allergen laundry supplies at home.) Apologies in advance for the chemical taste of albuterol. (I have only had to pull it out about three times, it’s normally not used.)

Substances
I don’t abuse alcohol, or use drugs recreationally. I don’t use anything that requires smoke inhalation because it would seriously impair my health. I probably drink too much tea, though. And I have a sweet tooth. My love of carbs is arguably my absolute worst vice (or perhaps it’s procrastination, depends on who you ask).

We can share a bottle of champagne with you, if you wish, but I abstain from too much. I ask the same of you. If you’re in an altered state when we meet, I will leave. You forfeit any payments you’ve made.

On the positive side, I would love to share my list of good champagnes, if you’re in the mood. (I can provide the glasses.)

Viagra and Cialis

While Viagra and Cialis are easily available, I prefer your natural chemistry. Genuine lust, coupled with an open mind and lack of measuring-stick obsession, is far more enjoyable for both of us. Caring about your erections over genuine interaction is not a turn-on.

If your nerve endings still work, then pleasure is still possible.

Passion isn’t found in a pill and believing it is means you’re not for me.

I’m not aware of having any current reviews and do not wish to have any. I hope my sincerity is evident throughout this website. The quotes I have sprinkled here and there are genuine comments made in the moment by men whose company I’ve enjoyed. The quotes are as much of a review that I feel is suitable. (Except for the quotes that are credited to famous people. Obviously, they were not saying those words to me directly.)

What reviews never take into consideration is that half of the equation is in your hands. Which is why I hope you’ve read this website thoroughly, and perused my blog, because getting a sense of whether or not you’d enjoy my company is key to figuring out whether or not you’ll enjoy your time with me. Because if you enjoy me, I’ll enjoy you. It’s very circular but I haven’t found any other cheat codes for this.

We’re both humans, and connecting as humans first allows us to connect in every way.

References

Though I don’t accept references as part of my screening process, I’ll happily offer references, though whether or not the other companion accepts my reference is up to her. If you wish to use me as a reference, you don’t need to ask. That saves a little lag-time in the process for you.

A general courtesy is to keep the reference requests to one per visit. E.g. If we’ve met once, don’t use me as a reference for the next 50 escorts you see.

Here’s a stupidly simple life-hack to avoid screening: don’t contact me.

Find someone else whose requirements suit your comfort level. Isn’t that an easy and simple solution? Practically brainless, in fact. It’s much better than two people becoming frustrated with each other due to mismatched expectations. You don’t lack for choice.

Mutual compatibility starts with the basics.
