I see all the time on profiles that models will not come to a shoot without an escort. Now I don't mind this as I have not had a problem yet, but it makes me wonder a couple things.

Why would a model think that an escort will make them safe? If someone were to really set a trap for models then an escort would probably be the first one to get injured or killed. Now when I have escorted for other type of work I'm armed. To me this is the only way to truely be an escort and supply real safety. Do the escorts come in to the building an clear it before the model comes in? Do these escorts have an real training or experience?

Seems like it's a false sense of security. I'm all for making the model feel comfortable but I think a little thought should go into what safety really is. Any thoughts?

Well if I feel I need it, sometimes I bring my husband, who's a blackbelt & ex-wrestler, with me. He always makes me feels safe. Or I have him drop me off so he knows where I am at all times. = D Hopefully not to many models have to ever go through stuff like that.

Mmkay... a bit off topic here BUT. Where oh where do you find escorts who have half or even all day to waste hanging out in the studio and holding reflectors? I do not own such a person and my husband laughs at the idea of him just standing there for hooours while I model. Is it just me? Is he a selfish brute???

What your husband doesn't say, "How high?", when you say jump??? LOL...

The reason I don't like escorts is, the last time one came to my place,
the ecort pulled a machete on me and sliced off three of my fingers.

From the women I have observed in my own life(time) I might just as easily say that almost all women are lying, manipulative, cheating, drama addicted, moneygrubbers.

You forgot self-obsessed, disloyal, nagging, whiny, complaining, devious, vain, materialistic, and most importantly that they'll rip your heart out, squeeze it like a pomegranate, and throw it in the gutter for wild dogs to feast on.

What kind of search strategy did you employ that allowed you to NOT find one of the escort threads?

Seriously, when you say "when I searched" what did you do. If you type "escorts" into the search engine on the forums page, 74 escort threads are returned. Someone revived this thread, it's an oldy, but I'm sure there were lots of escort threads at the point of the original post.

Did you forget that you posted on page 37 of the big escort Thread about escorts needing to supply IDs? (an excellent point, btw)  Or when you commented on page 200 of the big escort  Thread about how "the thread has a life of its own." 

I think you have some excellent points to make about the issue, but we didn't really need another escort thread. I wish the MODs would put an end to the escort thread proliferation. It diffuses the information.

I agree.. but as I know from experience..escorts are sometimes needed but ....shoot gone wrong...rape..unplanned pregnancy....

This is a first in all the escort threads!  Bring an escort to avoid unplanned pregnancies!

My god!  The hysteria about this is palpable.

Sadly, that's how I was born.
