Again, take it with grains of salt, or not.

Another case of “it didn’t happen to me so it means it never happened to anyone”


I’ve never been raped by a client so that means no SP ever has ever been raped by a client

Here's a suggestion for agencies who would like to set a new standard in terms of creating a more ethical industry: having a publicly visible code of conduct on your website. One part would be the client's code of conduct, the other would be the agency's code of conduct towards their escorts. This would be a way to build trust among all parties involved . Since the code would be visible, clients could ask the escorts if it really being respected, and agencies could use it as a tool to enforce proper behavior among clients. Some clients may even be more inclined to book with a agency that has a code they deemed reasonable.

Some will say I am dreaming in color–and I don't fully disagree–other may see it as a promising step towards more ethical arrangements .

I totally agree with you. It would be a good way to prepare the indutry for an eventual legalization. Eventually the SPs could have a board of professionals, similar to the boards of doctors, engineers, psychologists, physiotherapists, social workers, pharmacists, etc. Some realities started in a dream.

From my understanding she started in 2020 and worked for about a year. The Jade of that thread has post as far as 2018. So different peoples.

On the podcast in french, we understand that she quits in 2020 so it match with the thead. It says also that she worked as Indy. But she dont talk about Velvet..

Need to end this incall business model and return to outcall for one. Best for an agency to be formless and not be some sitting duck and open target with a physical location.

I still don’t understand why guys use incall locations in Montreal. Makes zero sense unless you’re a local. The charm of Montreal is outcall to your hotel. More relaxed and fun.

I understand the economics for agencies, but out of dozens of appointments I always turned down incall. I can get that in NNJ and NYC.

Most of the wolves on merd are from Montreal and its vicinities.

I don't think this means anything personally and this is an anonymous account. Who is this even?

As for people not denouncing rape.. we don't do it because people blame victims, they don't believe us, the process of reporting or calling out can be extremely traumatic etc. Particularly for someone who is a sex worker.. a lot of people think we're asking for it

I also want to remind you guys that not everyone is treated the same way in this industry and our experiences vary a lot. It's not surprising to me that a teenage girl would have bad experiences while other more experienced providers who know their boundaries don't as much

There is favoritism at certain places and some people will get exploited while others won't..this is why this is so touchy. Some people are more vulnerable than others for many different reasons and individuals who have bad intentions will see that vulnerability as a weakness to exploit

i'm sure 50% of clients are with a significant other and cannot do outcalls

As for "why did she stay" it was stated in this thread several times that the boss was threatening girls with outing... And even beyond that. There are reasons why people stay in abusive situations.. these situations often have some sort of appeal on some level and there's a lot of manipulation involved too. 19 is really young. When I was 19 I was still a virgin and I was really naive.

I think someone can be too young and inexperienced for sex work personally. You have to have had some life experiences in order to handle it

It is on youtube now. Since those outside of Canada cannot access it previously.

 

[LC18]

En tout cas

 

[RobertNYC]

From what I understood most got shut down by LE. But perhaps @EagerBeaver can shed some light on this and if LE would go after the clients.

There are countless agencies in NYC and NNJ, and damn good ones. I think we’re getting ridiculous here.

I remember seeing an SPs who I haven't seen for a long time and she used to be at XO. I just mentioned I have no idea what happened to XO and she said the owner became a drug addict and that was the downfall of the agency. Another SP another told me that the booker didn't stop asking her to join an orgy when she didn't want to. I remember XO organizing some orgy party but apparently it was only for the ''loyal'' clients, I wonder if those events went well or the sexual assaults might be where it comes from?

I remember around the last times I used XO, a moment freaked me out. The agency knew my username here and that I was a regular. One day, they contacted me and they called me by my first name. I never shared my full name beside the SPs. I asked the last SP I saw if she mentioned me by my full name and she said no, she doesn't know how whoever contacted knew my first name.

Another thing, I noticed was when booking and arriving at the door, they ask us to just enter and not knock. I suspected that was because neighbour noticed multiple door knocking for the same door and raised suspection. At that time, it was the only agency that asked me to do that. So this fit with the neighbour getting suspicious.

I been doing this activity since I was 18yo and now I am 37yo. Even with all those years, I never knew the ''behind the scene'' of this business.

Really disappointing to read this, I hope for the best for the victims.

The fact that they knew your first name is very spooky...
I suspect Agencies have a way of doing a soft background check.

I googled my own phone number and my full name and city came up...I had it removed by submitting a request though
