Looking for reassurance

[Firestome]

As a 50 year old newbie escort virgin my atttitude is somewhat clouded by the media in that while id like to meet an escort I'm a bit wary of women being forced into this occupation... what are peoples views? I do not wish to offend anyone so apologies in advance. Also what is the etiquette? Ie when do you financially compensate a lady for her time? Beginning or end of meeting.

The vast majority of people visiting escorts would not want to meet someone that was forced into it.
You will be able to differentiate the profiles on here after a while but to begin with look for escorts that have lots of reviews and perhaps not offering too many favourites, these profiles are generally a safe bet.
As for money, hand it over up front.

At your age see a mature woman to get you started, her experience will suit you better. It's just a hook up, that's all except you have a time limit.
This is very important, I'm in the same boat. Tell NOBODY because as far as society is concerned, you will be thought of as a dirtbag and judged by the fine law abiding sanctimonious Irish people. Secrecy is key.

In time you will just be able to sense the lady's who are working of their own freewill and the few that have been forced into working as an escort.
It happened to me about six months ago when I had made a booking with within minutes I had an overbearing feeling that she was working against her will.I left immediately but did leave the money for the time I had booked with her for fear that she may get on alot of trouble or possibly beaten if I didn't leave the money.
Two things....always confirm your booking half and hour to an hour in advance.
Bringing a small gift (chocolates of a bottle of wine) is a nice touch also (if you become a regular client of one particular escort....been there....then it's up to you if you wish to get more expensive gifts for birthdays etc)
A thank you text is also a nice touch 5 to10 minutes after you have left.
Plus never stay over your time.
Have fun.

That's sketchy advice at best. You can take a notion and ring an escort and 10 minutes later you're naked with her, once you get used to the addresses they stay in.
They don't want sweets, girls who's appearance is their livelihood, last thing they want is everyone bringing them chocolates.
Times an escort is happy to talk to you after time is up, this is ok if it happens naturally, you can't force that.
As for forced girls, unless she is crying or trembling or stiff as a poker, there is no way you can tell.

With regard to gifts I was just reared in the manner of never arrive anywhere with one arm as long as the other.
It's just a token gift obviously they aren't going to be stuffing themselves silly with chocolate.
A bottle of wine is a better choice anyhow (may as well accept the offer of a glass while I am there)
With regard to forced ladies she was trembling and appeared very upset....I tried to console her but did leave as it seemed for the best (probably not though O guess I just freaked a little).
Anyhow I am making of this thread go way off topic and the initial subject matter.

If that's true and you did nothing, you're a disgrace, you're not a man. A terrified girl and you couldn't put a sly call into the cops and pretend you were ringing a taxi to that address in case someone was listening to you.
How can you live with that, knowing she is being abused. You're posts mean nothing anymore. Either you just told a lie, or you did nothing and all the rest of your posts are a lie.
With a signature like yours, your probably not to be believed either way. I hope that's not true, you always protect a girl whether you know her or not. Goodnight to you

I did report it to the guards the minute I left the room.
I said earlier on I reported it just didn't go into the details.

That's not enough. They needed to see her in her upset state. Once you rang them and ordered an urgent taxi after he already told you that you had a wrong number, he would not have known what was wrong but there would have been a knock on that door in minutes, and they would have seen and taken that girl with them.

[iAmAnEnigma]

They were there in minutes actually and I saw her being taken out of the apartment....I was standing out of sight.

Goodnight Pinocchio. You're after wakening me up with that story, I'm in the kitchen eating a bowl of cornflakes now. I was in bed tired.
I should have known, sure half the lies you tell aren't true anyhow

The only things assured in life are death and taxes.
This may not be reassuring.

Thanks folks for the advice and transparency. Very much appreciated.

4.45am and someone had nothing better to do than give me red for this
