Anyone have any stories of negative consequences?  I am about to enter into my first foray as a "hobbyist" and since any bad decisions I have made in the past seem to be revisitedas bad consequences, cubed, I was simply wondering.  You know, busted by the cops, found out by wife, spotted by boss, etc. ad nauseum.  I'd be curious to hear (my Puritan roots are gnawing on my conscience's ass!  What a friggin' pain!!).  Thanks!

You might try starting out with an independent massage therapist who offers a "full release". It's kind of tame, but fun and it would help you get your sea legs. When you're ready to step up to "the bigs" just be cautious and follow the reviews for a while for each of the providers you're interested in. Speak to them on the phone a few times if necessary to feel comfortable. Usually, if they're rude or rush you on the phone, they'll be even worse in person. Do only incall. Good luck!

>>>"Do only incall."

I'm new to this, too. I've only had one encounter (outcall in my hotel room), and I've only been a member here a couple of weeks. QUESTION: Why the strong preference for Incall? I noticed in the "Surveys" section here that 77% of men prefer Incall. Thanks for any explanations from you more seasoned guys.

Dear Joe,

I recommend incall because you don't have to rent a hotel/motel room, thereby adding another level of risk, and you don't have to deal with a "driver". If you don't like what you see when you arrive, you just split.

A couple of years ago, I arranged an outcall session with a provider who went by the name of "Summer". Nervously, I rented a motel room ($150) and waited for her to arrive. When she finally arrived, she brought with her a scummy looking "driver" who, I suppose, was supposed to intimidate me. He looked so drugged-out and slimy that he wasn't intimidating, just pathetic. It was a real turn-off though. After he took my $200, he left. I was pleased that she looked as good in person as she did in her photos; however, she immediately asked for another $100, which I foolishly gave her. Then, she informed me that she would do an "exotic dance" or a massage, but no full service. I opted for the dance, but under no circumstances I learned, was I to touch her or would she touch me. Basically, I was ripped off and real pissed off. For $450 I got less than a lap dance and had to jerk myself off.

If I'd seen an incall provider instead, reaching an understanding prior to paying would have been much simpler and if I hadn't liked the deal, I could have left. No motel room, no "driver".

As a footnote, several weeks after this I heard a news report on the radio about a provider and her driver who had been followed and shot at by an irate customer. No one was hurt, but the customer must have been really pissed off. Hmmmmm...

I second the thoughts of "curiouspark" and would add that if the same kind of "dancer" and driver did an outcall to your house or apartment, your problems would increase exponentially.
