Choosing

What to look for in a gigolo or escort agency

A checklist of eleven points, from company details to the way questions are answered.

The difference between a serious agency and any old website cannot be read off the design. The points below can be checked, and together they give a reliable picture. Three or more negatives is a reason to look elsewhere.

Before making contact

  1. Company details. Is there a company name, a legal form, ideally a registration?
  2. How long it has existed. This market is full of sites that last a year. An agency trading since 2009, such as The Men's Company, has a reputation to lose.
  3. Rate visible. Is the amount for the first two hours stated per person, or only after contact?
  4. Home city per profile. Without it, travel costs cannot be estimated.
  5. No account required. A site demanding registration before showing anything is collecting data it does not need.
  6. Photographs found nowhere else. A reverse image search settles this in a minute.

At first contact

  1. Reachability. Does somebody answer, or does everything run through a form?
  2. Questions back. A good agency asks about the occasion, whether this is a first time, and whether it concerns one person or a couple. An immediate offer with no questions comes from a salesperson.
  3. Total amount on request. Rate plus travel plus any surcharges, in one figure, before anything is committed.
  4. Clarity about data. What reaches the companion, and what stays with the agency? The answer should be: only place and time are passed on.
  5. Safety. Is it stated without hesitation that safe sex only applies and that testing is periodic? A provider who negotiates on that is out.

Red flags. Pressure to pay cash in advance without confirmation, no fixed home city, no rate, a phone number nobody answers, and photographs that appear elsewhere. Two or more of these, and not booking is the sensible choice.

Why an agency costs something

The advance covers the screening, the diary, the discussion beforehand and the fact that somebody is answerable. On an advertising site none of that exists. Agencies that want to stay accessible keep the number of items small: rate plus travel, no surcharges. See the rates page.
