Working as an escort in Zurich can be a lucrative and exciting career, but to enjoy these benefits, it is important to be aware of the safety aspects. Just like in other professions, there is always a certain risk at work. However, there are many ways to feel safe at work and outside of work - let's talk about it!

Always verify your clients

There are various ways to verify clients: ask for photos, chat on the phone, look them up on social media, and even ask for references. A small idea of who you are meeting in advance can contribute to peace of mind. It is also important to remember that verifying clients is helpful, but some might perceive it as a violation of their privacy. This means that all independent Swiss escorts value their privacy, and that applies to clients as well. Be respectful and try not to snoop too much, but enough to calm yourself before meeting them. If he refuses to send photos or chat on the phone, question his seriousness and do not meet with him.

Only have protected encounters

Protection is a must when working as a companion to prevent health risks. Do not rely on clients to constantly bring protection. If you keep a supply of utensils in your bag, you are never in an unpleasant situation. If a client refuses to take appropriate precautions, even though you have made it clear that you require this, then cancel the meeting. Some men might whine that this limits the feeling, but that is not your problem. In addition to using protective measures, applying additional precautions can help avoid unforeseen situations. The more protection you use, the better. Another part of safe handling is regularly performing checks. Your clients will also feel more comfortable knowing that you attend appointments regularly.

While you choose a safe location

It can be nerve-wracking to meet a new client for the first time, as you don't know who the real clients are. Going to a safe place can calm the nerves. A busy hotel, for example, is a prime location in case you have to leave the room because the client behaves inappropriately. However, it is necessary to change the hotels you use to avoid drawing attention to yourself. Try first to meet a client in the hotel bar or lounge area for a drink. A conversation over a drink and an appetizer can give you enough time to get an idea of who they are and if they appear decent. Dressing in different clothes or using pseudonyms can help deflect attention from yourself. Never meet a man in a completely isolated place. Some models in Zurich prefer to meet the client at his home so they know where he lives in case they need to contact him later. Others prefer to bring clients to their own home, but that is risky, especially if you block a client who then knows where you live.

Learn how to get out of an uncomfortable situation

Being a professional escort lady in Zurich means knowing how to free yourself from a delicate situation. Often, aspiring escort models feel thrown into a difficult position in the first months to a year of work. This feeling is widespread, especially among independently working companions. For those who work with an agency, safety is usually taken care of, and you have someone you can call 24/7 if needed. If you work as an independent escort, have at least two trusted people you can call at any time to help you if necessary. Even if you might never have to call them, it is important to know that you are protected during your work. One suggestion is to use a code word that you can use in a call or SMS if you need help. Furthermore, it is useful to let a close friend or a loved one know where you are meeting a client to ensure you are safe if something goes wrong.

Keep your honorarium discreet

Visitors should never see where you keep your earnings, especially those who look unreliable. While it is a nice idea to want to trust all of your clients, the truth is that you cannot. If a man pays you before the meeting, leave the room and put it away. Stow the honorarium discreetly in a safe place, such as a room safe or another inconspicuous location that is not visible to guests. As a service provider, it is important to establish rules, such as not being followed when leaving the room. It is also important to understand that some clients are not familiar with escort visits and need to be reminded that your privacy is a must.

Speak about your expectations

It is an important step for your safety that you lay out your expectations to a visitor before meeting him. How you expect to be treated during all activities must be expressed just as much as your services. When men request services that the lady has not specified, this can often lead to frustration for the client. Clients who do not know how to handle disappointment can create an unsafe environment for the service provider. Lay out your expectations before meeting the client and ask him before the meeting if he agrees with them.

Do not reveal personal details

If you become friends with a client and get to know him better, e.g., clients you have had for several years, it can be tempting to provide personal data. A client can, for example, ask if you have children, a husband, or in which district you live. Never share these personal details! If you have to remain vague to protect yourself, do it. No matter how open the client is, this should not be an invitation for you to open up as well. Aside from that: if you keep your personal life private, e.g., who your siblings or parents are, you also protect them.

Turn off your phone on days off

Turning off the phone on days off is a must. It may be hard not to check the inbox because the income is so good, but it is mentally and physically important that you switch off. Spend the day off pampering yourself and spending valuable time with your loved ones. If you let visitors in on your days off, it can lead to them becoming too comfortable. If you talk to a client on your day off and let him know what you are doing, for example, it can lead to him learning too much about your personal life. If you turn off your phone and let clients know that you will answer their messages or take bookings in your next shift, you let them know that you have boundaries and lead a private life that they are not involved in.

Keep away from unreliable persons

The majority of clients are honest people who seek the company of an attractive woman to fulfill their fantasies. In the mix of good people, however, there are obviously also the less serious ones who try to deceive or annoy service providers. Any client who tries to offer you things in exchange for services should no longer be contacted. No matter how tempting an offer may sound, do not be enticed into anything. Keep your head and shoulders high and move on.

Use a pseudonym

If you share your real name with clients, they can easily find your family and more information about you. While "Candy Girl" is an obviously invented name, a professional stage name protects your identity and effectively protects your private life.

Do not allow a client to manipulate you

Building trust takes time, but it is very important to have it as an escort model, especially when just starting out. Clients who meet with new models might try to push the expectations a little. For example, a new service provider could be manipulated into actions she is not comfortable with. Always stand up for your own safety. Once a client sees that he can get his way with you, he will try it again and again. Your favorite answer should be "No."

Never see a client if you have drunk alcohol

After a few cocktails, it is easy to flirt, lose your judgment, and become a bit spontaneous. However, it should never be an excuse to meet with a client or even chat with him via social media. If you are out with your girlfriends and have your phone on, it is tempting to chat with clients who might want to meet with you when you have had something to drink. Having a meeting while you are intoxicated is an easy way for the client to take advantage of you or behave rudely.

Pay attention to noticeable features in new contacts

It is difficult for some escort models to turn away clients who appear inappropriate because the honorarium is often so tempting. If they have never treated you badly, but just seem a bit strange, you should note certain details about them. For example, the car they drive, outfits, haircuts, tattoos, piercings, body weight and structure, hands, voice, eye color, perfume, origin, and age. If something goes wrong, you have a detailed description of the person.

Being an escort in Switzerland brings challenges, just like any other job. If you are smart and attentive during work, you can protect yourself and be safe at any time. Think of these tips before you meet with a client or accept new clients. Although the escort industry is a fun environment, ladies must take the necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
