That's interesting you have an escort on staff. What's an example of a policy directly influenced by having someone with her experience there that you wouldn't have otherwise thought of?
One thing was health checks. As an outsider, it seems like a good idea. It sounds straightforward. Health checks actually received a very negative response from sex workers. If we advertise that everyone is certified healthy, then clients are more likely to pressure providers into doing unsafe acts.
On top of that, it's virtually impossible to assure health status in any individual in this industry - clients or providers alike.
Other policies:
- Having to sleep with a provider to prove she is a real provider - that was scrapped as soon as I heard of it
- We're actually getting testimonials and feedback from providers, which wasn't done before I arrived
- Tiered screening
