I had an awkward experience yesterday, and I hope sharing it with everybody will help:

I had a provider come to my hotel.  I was very aloof to her on the phone and in emails.  I was hoping that this "playing hard to get" approach would create some sexual tension.  She arrived at my hotel and I sensed she was a little reluctant.  This was weird so I guess she just wanted to get right to it.  I have to add that I am a bit of a ladies man: crewcut, handlebar mustache, etc.  So, I ask her very clearly  "How much money does it cost for oral sex and intercourse with you in this hotel room?"  Again, she was acting nervous, looking around the room and kicking imaginary pebbles on the floor.  I then realized what the problem was:  I had left my teddy bear on the bed.   Hey, screw it if she can't handle a sensitive guy like me.  I'll never call her again but maybe next time teddy can stay in the closet until we are finished with our sexual relations.

It's a strange world out there folks....be careful.
