Hi Jacsmi,
My experience is most escorts are in-call, meaning that they have a location for you to come to. It could be an apartment or even a hotel. Many of them get a room at a hotel for the day and then see 3 or more clients for the day which allows them to change hotels from day to day. I avoid out-call escorts because I don't want to have to deal with getting a room nor do I want them coming to my hotel.
If you go to
http://www.theeroticreview.com (also known as TER) or
http://www.bigdoggie.net (both are escort review sites -
http://www.naughtyreviews.com works in larger cities, but doesn't have a lot of reviews), you can figure out which girls are rated better, perform better and are easier to get set up with. A two call system is pretty common, but not a pain. It is usually used to keep you from showing up early. A lot of guys think that if they show up 15 minutes early, that they can get an hour and 15 minutes for the price of an hour, but the girl might have just finished up with a previous client, so she doesn't want to give you the final location until the last client has left. Most of the time, the girl can't see what you look like until you already have the location and you're in front of the peephole for the door. The two call is truly not a big deal. My experience with the two call system is... 1. You call in the morning and they give you an area to drive to which is within a block of the actual location and have you to call them again when you get there... 2. You call them and they give you the final location where you are usually greeted with a door that is slightly ajar with the girl directly behind it.
Many of the girls want a reference from another escort or escort agency. This can be hard for someone like yourself who lives outside of the US. Your accent will definitely help you there. They want the referral to insure you aren't the police. Remember, this is illegal in the US ;) You just need to simply explain to them that you're visiting the US from Ireland and you haven't seen an escort in the US before. They will almost always accommodate you. If the first one you call doesn't, just have a second choice ready to call. I guarantee it won't be difficult. I see an escort in the US about every 3 months and I typically don't like to see the same one twice just because I like variety. My experience is only about half of them check referrals.
The quality of girls really drops with street walkers and picking girls from Craigslist (free to post). You can find average to excellent quality girls on
http://www.cityvibe.com (in large cities where the site supports display ads - those cost $3 to post). The highest quality girls can be found on
http://www.eros.com (around $60 to $100 to post), but their hourly cost tends to be higher. You figure, the better they look and perform, the more they're making, so they can afford some advertising.
I'm not really attracted to Asians, but in cities like Los Angeles, NY, Washington DC, etc. where there are a larger population of them, they offer a fantastic service... most of them will typically guide you to the shower and have you to undress and get into the shower where they will join you and scrub you with a loofah sponge and give you a beginning BBBJ, then they will dry you off and have you to lie face down on the bed where they will give you an erotic massage with a little deep tissue and some tickling with their hair gently going across your back and legs and the boys as well as using their nipples to do the same. Then, they will migrate to a BBBJ and continue with the full service. Lastly, they will typically guide you back to the shower and give you a final cleaning up and sometimes, one last massage. They tend to be a little less expensive too which makes it a no brainer for me ;) Erotic massage + full service for less money = happy guy!!! Again, I use the TER site to see which ones perform better and look the best.
I usually pay around $250 to $300 in NY which will get you an attractive girl who performs well. They of course have several offering services in the $500 to $1000 range which I avoid because I'm very happy with the service and looks I get for $250 to $300.
Just an FYI, I usually pay $250 to $300 in LA and DC ($150 to $250 for Asians). Places like Raleigh, Miami, Houston, Atlanta tend to be more like $200 to $250. LA has the best selection of Asians.
Lastly, I can tell you that I have almost always been pleased with my selection because of reading TER's reviews. I look for girls that are rated a 9 or 10 overall and who have several reviews. I never trust a 9 or 10 rating from a girl who only has 1 or 2 reviews because they might be fake reviews. You can click on a reviewers name and see the other reviews that they have done to figure out if they are potentially a fake user. Girls who have a couple of pages of reviews dating back a year or two with 8's, 9's and 10's are pretty much a sure thing that they are great performers and great lookers.
Sorry for the long post, but I figure I want to equip you with as much personal knowledge as I can since I appreciate the information I get from you guys when I come to your side of the ocean ;) I'll be on your side in less than two weeks. I hope you have a fantastic time in NY.
