Hi,

So I've been around to a few massage parlors, but haven't really had great experiences.  I'm interested in setting up my first session with a real pro and would like some recommendations on who to see, what to do, how verification works, etc..

I'd also like to have this session on 3/30 in the West (Downers Grove area) or Northwest (Schaumberg area) suburbs.

You are new and thus very vague. First of all, get VIP on this site (TER) and get verified with either RS2K or P411. Without that, you cannot research and much harder to get an appointment. I am assuming you want full service. If you just want a rub and tug, there are many worthy non Asian ladies. If you want to keep it similar for you, get verified by Korean Palace (US). They have high end, quality Asian ladies who usually know what they are doing and give you a great if not formulaic time and they have a Schaumburg location. As always, check their reviews and go with the highest rated lady that fits your style. All other Asian places don't use accurate photos and switch girls using the same name.

For a non Asian experience, I would read the discussion boards and ad boards for Chicago and pick a girl you like that has several good reviews.

You can also make a new post for "newbie friendly" providers.  

Good luck

Being new can be challenging but being a newbie or a seasoned veteran the key to having great experiences is RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH.

If you are not a RS2K or Preferred 411 member it will be difficult getting screened since you also have no provider references.

Determine what you are looking...for example I hate condoms so I LQQK for BBBJ with extra credit for CIM.

Determine your price range then look for a lady who fits in your budget with the desired age and looks etc

A great investment that will open the door to some wonderful women.  
There are some excellent providers who advertise there too.  

Check out the newbie page on TER general area.  

Good luck and good fuck.

Been RS2K since 2004 but recently joined P411

A couple of ladies told my they like P411 better plus I'm always on the prowl for traveling girls many and many of them are P411 only

P411 is great for visiting ladies once you have racked up a few ladies willing to give you an ok.  Without OK's P411 is pretty worthless unless a lady offers work screening as well to check you out without the references to contact

They want your Drivers license, work ID(!!), as well as phone.  

YOU HAVE TO BE MENTALLY CHALLENGED TO GIVE ANYONE THAT!!  

When they get busted, guess whose info the feds have?   Also, they make you use your real name, city & state, and phone number with providers as "verification"!!!!  That's great for anyone wanting to commit all sorts of crimes against you.  Guess what you can find with a simple google search with that info?  
   
If you want to risk ruining your life, go ahead.  I will NEVER understand ANY hobbyist recommending RS2K!  Unless they are getting a kickback from them.  Unreal ignorance otherwise.  

Just go do P411 and be done with it - you will get oks from providers quickly.  Or get TER whitelisted by using newbie friendly providers - there are tons out there

First of all, there is absolutely nothing at all that rs2k can get busted for.  Nothing of what they do is illegal whatsoever!  

Secondly, every time you stop at a Starbucks or a restaurant or any place for that matter where you find yourself handing the young lady or man your credit/debit card, by your standards, you are risking complete and utter destruction!  Who would you rather have this info....a complete stranger or a reputable person who has nothing to gain and everything to lose?

I have heard about as much of this nonsense as I can stand!  If you are new to this and want to be "safe" and have an opportunity to meet some exceptional women with great attitudes, run to rs2k and stop messing around with 80 and 160 dollar an hour women with no reviews trying to find a needle in a haystack.  That road is full of disappointments and heartache which is what you are trying to get away from to begin with.  Get a VIP membership here on TER, do your research, pay the 300-400 or more to the girl or agency you are comfortable with after all your research and have a great freakin time!  That is what this is all about!

And ladies, if you are allowing men to come in to your little world that you dont have personal info on to keep accountable, you are taking a huge risk and I hope you never find yourself with the wrong guy!  Be careful!

END OF MESSAGE

You've gotten a lot of good advice in this thread. Some of us have got into the hobby the hard way and been disappointed or victimized before we discovered TER and learned to do our research.

With a basic TER membership you can see enough in reviews to have confidence that at least you won't be busted. But you probably want more than that. TER membership is inexpensive. P411 is inexpensive and terrific too but if I recall you need recommendations from two ladies you've seen to be verified so that won't be your first step.

Some providers will consider your TER whitelist but I've never known one who thought that was enough. One possibility is to research escort agencies -- at least get the information you can about them from TER, again you won't get caught in a sting -- because some will work with you to verify you. You might have to give some identifying information and permission for them to discreetly call your employer's switchboard to confirm that you actually do work there, and many in the forum will tell you not to do that. Yes, of course it's a risk. You should think about the level of risk you're comfortable with. The hobby is a risk.

Good luck, be careful, have fun!

As soon as I saw this thread, with the recommendation that the OP join RS2K, I was just waiting for you to chime in with your very strong advice to stay away from them.  Always telling guys that they're stupid, crazy, foolish to give out their real names... just live and let live already.  

 
You are clearly refusing to hear what we ladies are  saying: knowing a CLIENT'S real name and personal info has been proven to greatly reduce the risk of being harmed by a CLIENT.  

Who has harmed me most in my life?  Clients?   No, absolutely not.  Those would be exactly who you described: those who were known to me.  
Yep, I can admit it.  I've exercised some very poor judgement in the past and have gotten hurt.  
However, we are not speaking of being harmed by people in our personal lives, only of the risks associated with anonymous CLIENTS.

So.... SPEAKING ONLY OF CLIENTS & POTENTIAL CLIENTS: I've had a higher percentage of "problem clients" from the pool of alias-using guys, than from the group that was fully vetted with their real names and all the other info Cathy (RS2K) requires.    

I will say it again (in the hope it will sink in): In MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE with various levels of screening, I have had far fewer problems arise with CLIENTS who were fully screened than with those who were not.  
 
We're not talking about boyfriends, family members, random neighbors, etc. but specifically KNOWING THE REAL NAME OF A CLIENT.

No, that knowledge does not prevent bad things from happening.  I have had non-anonymous clients turn bad, but far fewer than those who gave me only an alias and references.  

That is what we ladies are saying: KNOWING A CLIENT'S REAL INFORMATION has been proven (at least to some of us) to reduce our percentage of risky/potentially harmful individuals.  

You're not comfortable giving out your real name to providers and/or agencies?  That's fine; I totally understand AND respect that.  
There are plenty of ladies out there who are comfortable trusting in references and their own instincts for alias-only clients to frequent.  

I'm not criticizing anyone's desire for privacy and anonymity nor do I advocate that every lady should demand real names from clients, or advise all hobbyists to join RS2K.  

Why won't you respect that many men ARE ok with handing out that information in order to meet with certain ladies or just plain make us feel more comfortable?  
It seems to me that you want ALL HOBBYISTS to go the anonymous route, believing that the power is in the hands of the purchaser, which would thereby force providers to accept anonymous clients or retire.  
If that assessment is incorrect, please say so.  But if that really is how you feel, I'm curious as to why.  
Just to widen the pool of providers that alias-using hobbyists can meet?   Or do you have another reason?

There are plenty of fish in the sea for all of us, providers and hobbyists alike.

Now let's hold hands and sing KUMBAYA till we really do all just get along!!  
J/K  :-P

Make no mistake gentlemen, that is what you are doing when you give out your name/dl/work info to agencies.  

Every provider you see will get your full name, address and phone number.  The number of potential crimes that you set yourself up for is mind numbing....

You have been warned.

my main reason to get a paid account like p411 is minimize LE risk. they called all the way until they reached me personally at work desk, not just the company switch board, and then verified some more.... it's aggressive but hopefully worth it: hoping they apply the same kind of strict verification to filter out LE's on the provider side.  
 
not sure about RS2k, or why a provider would prefer one verification service over another..

never hand your debit/credit card to that stranger behind the counter because after all, they are a stranger and you risk infinite crimes being committed against you.
