Lady Astrid,
For clarity, I will always be up front with the ladies I hope provide those types of services, but, as I said, I don't always receive a response. Certainly, I cannot blame someone who doesn't want to discuss details, but, frankly, many women are comfortable with that. Not all, but many.
As for my statement about women not having strap-ons, I have met many women (who don't advertise as fetish providers )who express an interest in strap on play, but haven't had the occasion (or desire) to purchase or maintain one. Many women will be happy to provide that service as long as I bring my own equipment. Certainly, women who advertise strap-on services have their own toys. However, unless the provider is someone I know very well, and I am sure of how she maintains and sanitizes her equipment, I am still more comfortable with my own. Its a very good one, with very adjustable straps, and will fit most women.
I simply stated that carrying my own strap-on has never brought me an undo scrutiny. I guess I used the word "issue" as a catch all phrase. I certainly have no issue with carrying one, I just don't want to be inconvenienced in any way. And, I always pack it in my check in luggage
