Personal safety

Love thy neighbour

If you work from home it’s important to keep friendly with your neighbours, respect their right to be free from noise and disturbance. It’s a good idea to meet a new client first to check him out before allowing him into your home and never take two clients at once. When welcoming strangers into your home you need to be safety conscious. Remember you can always say NO to anything that a customer asks you to do that is not part of your normal service (many escorts limit their services to wanking, sucking and fucking).

Working away from home

If you are working from a public place (like a hotel) You need to be discreet. Attracting any kind of attention will arouse suspicions and the police have to act if they get complaints. Try to work within the law as much as possible. (see Sex Work & The Law).

If you’re working away from your base prepare a little kit that you can easily carry in a sports bag and always keep it close by. Essentials are condoms, lube (water based) Towel or wet wipes, change of underwear/clothes. Always carry your mobile (fully charged and with credit) in case of an emergency. Hotels are usually safer than other people’s houses. Always tell a friend where you will be. If a client attacks you always report it to the police. Many guys have had problems when working away from home here are a few pointers:

  • Try not to take food, drink or drugs if a client offers them to you
  • Try not to get high before a session as you may not be in control of everything that is happening around you
  • You need to state what you will and won’t do with him clearly
  • Trust your instincts and if you aren’t comfortable don’t hang around

If you are assaulted

  • Call the police as soon as possible - call 999 and tell them you have been assaulted
  • Seek medical help if you think you need it
  • If you have been the victim of a physical or sexual assault, don’t shower or try to clean your clothes before any police arrive, you may be destroying vital evidence which could convict your attacker
  • Try to note on paper the details of your attacker (height, eye/hair colour, accent etc) and the sequence of events while it’s still fresh in your mind
  • Have any police officer you speak with provide you with his/her name, shoulder number and a crime reference number
  • You can ask a friend to be with you
