Advice on getting into the studio game

[TravelerX]

AMPs just aren't cutting it anymore. I'm very nervous about providing ID and the whole screen process. What advice do you have? Best way to get screened with minimal risk. Best studios that are taking new customers. Any and all advice appreciated!

Alternative to giving ID is to have some "established" providers that you could use as a reference. minimum would be 2 though I think 3 would be optimal.


Branch out and see some "newbie friendly" indies that would do that, or could invite you to something like p411


You might be overpaying but you'd be out a little money compared to the AMP /Agency route but you wouldnt have to use your identity

When I really started the hobby eight years ago, I was told to sign up with the verification service P411 (Preferred411.com). And like you I was super nervous about giving my info out. But after I had done it and was approved, I reached out to the studio HDS and just provided my P411 ID and nothing else was required. And at that time, I had hardly seen anyone outside of an AMP. Since then I have never had to give independent providers, other studios, or call services any references or info other than my P411 ID. It costs around $150 a year but I think it's been worth it. Now full disclosure I am not that active in the hobby and have mainly used HDS over the years, so someone else may have a better suggestion for you.

Something else that I forgot to mention is that there are providers advertising on P411 and, outside of HDS, that is where most of my encounters have been arranged. But I have used studios and met with providers who weren't on P411 (or at least not advertising on P411) and they have been fine with just getting my P411 info.

Once your verified, the studios are great, I highly recommend lovely angels

I have been in P411 for almost 15 years. I used it to get approved by one of the studios, and several of the others approved me after that. I think they are all about the same as far as safety, discretion, convenience, cost. The quality of the ladies varies a little bit but they tend to wander between agencies, so it's about the same in my opinion. I like the studios better than the AMP's because they are in higher end locations, not subject to public view.

I agree with White Tiger, I like Studios better because of the safer locations, nobody leaving the room to answer the phone or get a hot towel or no customers coming in the front door, no bickering in the back amongst ladies, bigger beds, no haggling etc. not to mention the girls are usually much younger and they shower and sometimes dress you before and after the session.
It’s hard to say which studio is the best, since the best girls may be at one one month and then move on to another one the next month.

Never, ever give your real world information. Learn from all the shits that happened from when agencies got busted in Seattle and DC. LE had so many johns as their leverage and agencies were using clients personal information as bargaining tools. This also cause DC madam to got killed (or suicided).
Seen multiple posts about some(Lovely Angels) records the session with hidden cameras, which is big red flag.
Ladies are all good but be aware of who you use and minimize the risk when shit hit the fan.

Yup, this shouldn't even be entertained.

Just an FYI about P411 it's not based in the US, which is a good thing. It started in Canada and is now in Spain, so it's been in countries where the hobby is legal. Since it's not operating outside of any legal restrictions or grey area it's an actual legitimate company and so it's in their best interests to not do anything shady. All the scenarios AsianP mentioned were people who were all shady to begin with and were operating outside the law in the US. The US may be the greatest country in the world at a lot of stuff, but we suck when it comes to the hobby. Lol!!!

Spain? Hmmm. I joined March 9 and sent my money order to Canada.

Like a lot of people have already mentioned, P411 or references can probably be used in lieu of ID. That being said, most newbies might not have those. I know I didn't.
Take the time to build those up. It's worth it in the long run, and not just for studios.
If you do go the ID route, then know you can censor most info you give. Keep it to the bare minimum like name and photo only. If you still feel sketchy about that, then your options come back around to P411 and references. Once you have your foot in the door at one place, then it becomes much easier the second time around. Stay safe.

They were bought out back in April of 2019 and an email was sent out to everyone on the site stating that "The original staff will continue to handle the day-to-day operations of the site" and that the new owners are "...a 100% European owned and operated company..." and "They are not affiliated in any way with any other escort related sites." The address on the website gives an address in the Spanish city of Palma in the Balearic Islands. So I guess it's still ran out of Canada (or at least the North American part is) but owned in Spain.

Some of the studios are on P411, but it's not obvious.



I submitted my Driver's License with most of the details blacked out, and still got through. It's worth a shot, if you feel like you must get in.
