...is a stereotype/cliche and does not represent the TER experience.  You said:

"If they keep talking about money, meet in a shit hotel, or keep telling me to finish up it won't be fun for me at all."

Don't see Backpage women and don't be cheap since you can afford it.  See someone over thirty as they'll be more patient.

Go to the FAQ for Newbies board.  Do a search for the word "virgin" and change the default 30 days to 3000.  You'll find there have been many others like you with the same questions.

Hey, I'm very new here. This is kind of embarassing, but anonymity makes it all ok. I'm a 23 year old student and still a virgin. I've had opportunities and close calls, but it just hasn't happened. I have a hectic schedule and have very little time to interact with people. Add to that my classes are 90%+ men and there are about 3 hot girls in my department.

Getting all that out of the way. I'm looking to lose it to a pro to just get it over with. I feel like it's causing me a lot of anxiety at this point and would be worth it to drop a couple bills to do it. I'm a decent looking guy and could definitely tackle it on my own if I tried hard, but I don't have the time to go to parties or bars often. I have a decent money supply, and can definitely spare it.

So I've been researching into this a lot and I'm not really sure how to take the next step. I obviously have no references. I also need someone who is really laid back. If they keep talking about money, meet in a shit hotel, or keep telling me to finish up it won't be fun for me at all.

If anyone can recommend some providers then pm me if you'd like.

Why are you worried about popping your cherry?  When the right girl comes along, and when the time is right, you'll have sex.  So what if you're 23.   There's no timetable that you have to have popped your cherry by now.   I was a virgin until I was 26.  Doesn't mean that you're lesser than anyone else.  

I really don't feel that your first time should be with a pro.  Having sex for the sake of having sex just to "get it over with" with a provider just isn't a thing that a young man should go through.  Put yourself in social situations.  Hit a few parties.  Meet a nice girl.  Don't pressure yourself.  Instead of researching this site, go out and live your life.  Don't come back here.

Totally agree with Froomie.

I lost my virginity to a pro.  It was dank, smelly and a truly ridiculous experience.  I was just desperate to get it out of the way but then, when the time came, I couldn't really get hard.

A couple of years later I met a girl at college and we slept together.  It was her first time and I prefer to think of that as my first time because it was such a beautiful experience.  I look back on it with fond memories.

Strive for losing your virginity to somebody you really connect with, not like I did.

Damn, Froomie, now I understand, you're making up for lost time.  (lol.  Aren't we all!)  Although I see Froomie's point,  I personally don't seen anything wrong with losing your virginity with a provider.  I've known guys who have done it.  Having a physical relationship with a provider can be an honest way to have sex.  You know what your getting and she knows what she's getting.  It takes the whole emotion thing out of the equation,  which is good and bad.
 
I'm sure there are many woman for pay or for free who would love to pop your cherry.

Either way,  take your time.   Read lots of reviews if you're going with a provider.   Remember,  not all experience s with providers are good, and some are down right terrible.  

Good luck.

If you're looking for a provider for your first time go
to see one of the mature ladies. Jenny in the valley
or Allie in the valley come to mind. You want someone who
will be able to guide you and treat you with the TLC
that only a mature escort can provide.
Several others that come to mind are Italian Bianca,
Tonya or Celeste.

Go to the newbie board. Do a search there like he said. Read back a bunch of pages. Ask questions there if you still need answers but chances are by just reading back some pages and searching you will find all the general information you need. You can come back here and ask for specific recommendatons on ladies or use the ones already given you, but it does sound like you still need more information on hobbying in general. The newbie board is very helpful.

NO....call Sarah Jessie at te VIP.  THey will take you once you are verified.  She will show you a good time and take care of all your needs.  Once you have a hour with her, you will be able to talk to any girl and will have confidence with you sexual desires.  Let me know if you need any help

You say "...lose it to a pro to just get it over with. I feel like it's causing me a lot of anxiety at this point and ..."  That makes no sense at all.  Read what  you just wrote.  At the very best case,  you are spending $200+ to get something you indicate will not be pleasurable.  I spend it.  Yes I do. But I take a great deal of pleasure and desire it a lot.  Your reasoning sounds very odd.  Am I missing something here?

Ideally your first time should be with someone special. But that doesn't seem to be in the cards for you given your circumstances. I think you should dive in and see a lot of providers. I recommend Ashley Havock in Anaheim, Morgan Taylor in West LA. Valerie Lace also is great.  They are all beautiful and kind.
You will gain an understanding of women and develop a little swagger after awhile. Non pros will pick up on this and you will end up with a girlfriend if that is what you want. Sure providers want you to feel good about your experience but they are regular people too. A lot of them are really nice. If you still are on the fence I recommend you try to go to one of the upcoming meet and greets. Although it would be difficult to get an invite without seeing a provider first.

If he's still carrying his V card at 23, it's time to go with plan B. There's something damming the progress and the logjam needs to be cleared.
Go with a pro. Get the right one and I think it'll be way better than some awkward drunk stuff and grunt with some girl his age who thinks he knows what he's doing (or thinks she knows what she's doing).  A few good sessions with some understanding pros will allow him to acquire that swagger SilverSurfer80 so correctly pointed out.

That is great advice!!  Call Sarah Jessie and she will solve all your problem and desires.....believe me...she will show him all the ropes and more.  Civie chicks will then think he's a STUD

I want To say don't do it, but that would be wrong.  You are right.  Go with plan B.
