Potential issues with OTC

I was talking to a dancer and we started talking about OTC. It was more a theoretical discussion as neither of us per-se was interested in each other for OTC. So we were just talking about the concept, when she mentioned something a bit troublesome. Namely, she said that some dancers can flip out during OTC. I don't know if she knows this for sure or was just making it up, but she said dancers could try to rob you, could have their boyfriend come over to help, or may threaten to out you.
This bothered me as I have never thought about this as a possible outcome. Have other mongers experience this ever? What do others do to minimize this risk?

1. Don't do it at your house, dummy. (unless you know her really well)
2. Don't go to her house, dummy. (unless you know her really well)
3. When feasible, get the hotel room "live" (that is, she doesn't know what hotel or room you're in, until as late as possible).
4. Stay aware that this is a possibility
The next day - at a different club - a dancer commented on a friend who was arrested the night before, "just because she was being loud in the motel parking lot." I started asking questions and she acknowledged that it was at the Red Roof and finally admitted the cops found several baggies of pills, coke and meth in the room. Just as bad as a stripper flipping out OTC, is being in the room when the cops decide to visit for the drugs! I was lucky that the cops got there BEFORE I did. Be careful out there.
Well, you can't say that anymore, dude. It happened to me, only once, thank the gods. I think I've related this story on here before.
THis was before texting became ubiquitous, but cell phones were still a thing. She'd gone into the bathroom to "freshen up," and then come out, acting somewhat nervous. Just about that time, there was a bang on the door, and before I could stop her, she'd opened it up to reveal what I assume was her boyfriend/pimp/accomplice with a baseball bat threatening to fuck me up for fucking with his wife.
Fortunately, Mr. 9mm Jacketed Hollow Point convinced them both that a hasty retreat was a better course of action than trying to extort the money I would have given her.
That incident scared the shit out of me, and it's one of the reasons for some hard and fast rules: no payment until I'm done, don't get undressed before *she* does, and don't tell her about the pistol. :)
Also, some dancers who never want to do OTC will bring up these horror stories as a way to coax customers away from it.
That said, it's still a minor risk and something to consider. Most OTC strippers, though, just want the money and not the drama.
Be aware that a lot of strippers are not up front about their "other job" with their family, "civilian" friends, and/or coworkers (if they have a regular job), etc. In those instances, the potential for mutually-assured destruction is pretty high.
Yeah, you're probably screwed once it gets to the point of some thugs banging on the door to be let in. Trying to keep her away from the door could be construed as false imprisonment, Charlie Sheen style.
The last time this came up, someone suggested getting a room that was only accessible by going through the lobby rather than directly from the parking lot.
FWIW, a stripper recently told me how a customer was trying to get her to same-night OTC, but she didn't want to because, among other reasons, she didn't have her knife with her that day.
The knife thing. Keep in mind that while we're here worrying about a stripper flipping out during OTC, strippers have their own long list of concerns with regards to us flipping out on them. If we're being honest, their worries are probably more justified than ours.
I don't blame them for taking precautions.
Even if it's an old ugly guy with a smoking hot young sex pot, they can't assume definitively that it's P4P, an affair, true love, or some completely non-sexual encounter. If they hassle you under the wrong assumption, that could be pretty bad for them.
Also, they *really* don't care. You won't be the first PL fucking out of his league that they'll have seen, and you won't be the last.
Now, if you walk into the lobby with a comatose woman thrown over your shoulder, a broken hypodermic hanging out of her arm, and the butt of a .45 poking out of your belt, then I predict that they will suddenly care very much.
So... don't do that.
But a lot of guys don't (like me), and I've never had a problem. To each their own.
Yep.

I'll say this though, the second I make an OTC offer, I consider the money spent. I pay at the beginning of all OTC dates. I do not worry about grab and dash. I, most likely, would not try to stop a grab and dash if it ever happened.
The emotional cost and negative vibes worrying about that risk is not worth the actual cost of losing OTC money.
Years ago, as a newbie PL, I did have a couple of OTC dates where the honey under-delivered to promises but I just let it ride. In hindsight, knowing what I know now, I should have known better than to be dealing with these hustlers. The education is expensive.
Also, this has let me be at peace with girls who want to "borrow" against our next date. I'll advance up to one date's worth of money, and the girl knows if the date never happens there's never anything more.
I've only been applying this to strippers the last couple of years, but it worked just the same with my befriended escorts during my 15 years in the escort scene.
I always chuckle when strippers want to talk bad about escorts, cause IME escorts had their shit together way better than the strippers I've met.
I remember how scared I was the first time I ever had an escort come to my hotel room. Nothing ever happened. Matter of fact, my only two scary incidents with women were both with civvies and an ex-husband or ex-BF who were unhappy that their ex was getting on with her life.
@joc13... I've said before that the primary difference between an OTC stripper and an escort is that escorts are generally better with money, marketing, and customer service. We might debate quality of the experience, but a well-reviewed escort is far less risky than a stripper (especially in the beginning).
For obvious reasons ;) It quashed any inclination I might have had to seek OTC. I mainly wanted to point out that not being obviously raised in a rough environment isn't any substitute for all of the other security measures. She didn't say exactly how it went down, but I wouldn't be surprised if the guy went to "her place" and was robbed in the parking lot.
Despite that revelation, she is still in the top 5 of dancers I remember the most fondly, though. Beautiful, great dances, not demanding financially, and was great to sit with and talk to.
If I was only interested in the sex, I'd probably be back in the escort scene.
But, for various reasons, I need the greater overall attention from a SB or friendly OTC girl, so I'm playing that field. Results are overall positive so far.
