I have assembled 30 tips for the newbie PSP. Most of these may already be common knowledge for the experienced PSP.

1. Before you take the plunge, consider other options. The life of a PSP is a hard life wrought with many shady characters and with many dire consequences. It should always be considered as the last resort.

2. Remember this: it's just a job. If you come home safe with cash in hand, then shrug off the day, get some sleep, and live on for the next day.

3. Protect your privacy

4. Don't use your real name in dealing with customers.

5. Don't provide your personal email address. Use another email address.

6. Don't provide your personal mobile number. Have another sim card. And it must be a prepaid number

7. Never divulge your address. Not even hint on the general vicinity.

8. Provide a picture. I know that this is contrary to the previous tips, but you can always deny that the picture is indeed you. Especially if you provided a different email address and used a different mobile number.

9. Know about sex. Research. Get a porn movie. Read Kama Sutra.

10. Think about the "menu" of services, especially the following: CIM or not, BBBJ or BJ with condom, GFE, PSE.

11. Divulge the following up front: the price, number of hours, the number of pops, the "services" that you will and won't provide.

12. No cancellation fees. Unless you provided a picture.

13. Expect that you will meet a lot of assholes. They will haggle. They will not show up. However, rest assured that just because you dealt with a jerk doesn't mean that the next guy will be a jerk.

14. Insist that the guy call you. Don't rely on text messages, email, or chats. You can tell a lot by the guys tone of voice, his proficiency in speaking, his use of grammar.

15. Trust your instincts when talking to the guy. If you are not comfortable with him, apologize and end the conversation.

16. Note down the guy's phone number.

17. Finalize the specifics of your rendezvous. Agree on a time and place.

18. Only agree to meet in a public place. Coffee shops and mall lobbies are good places to meet.

19. Dress appropriately. Please don't come in spaghetti-strapped blouse and skimpy shorts.

20. Someone you trust should know your whereabouts. You don't have to say that you are out screwing some stranger in some motel. Just give the general vicinity. "Am in the Sta. Mesa area near SM" is good enough.

21. Program emergency contact numbers (friends, relatives) into your phone as speed dial

22. Be prompt

23. Do "it" in a well-established place---a hotel or a motel, for example.

24. Insist in a condom

25. If you are uncomfortable, then walk away. If the guy changes the deal, walk away. If the guy does not seem safe, then walk away.

26. At least, fake it.

27. When with a client, don't use your mobile phone.

28. Don't hurry.

29. Have more frequent health checks.

30. Respect the privacy of your customer. Do not divulge his personal information

In future posts, I will be expounding on these tips.
