depends

Depends on the provider. Some you will gain brownie points by showering because it proves that you care about yourself and her others if you state that you have and your are fresh it is not a problem. Ask her if the shower time will come out of the time but do not take a long shower if you do get that grant from her.

and didn't drive for too long of a sweltering hot day, you should be good to go.

The times I took a shower at their incall location, they where always cool with it, I just assume that it was taken out of our time together. If you showered at home right before you left, why the need to shower again when you get there? Are you walking or traveling by donkey?

Yes, the time comes out of your end...

Even when I have just showered, I always ask to shower. It doesn't take long for a quick scrub of the things upon which you wish to have much attention lavished. This gives her a chance to check the donation, if she is so inclined, and will also let her know for sure that things are squeaky clean.

I understand. IMO, it kind of kills the flow of things, but at the same time I think it provides a valuable reality check in this way.

Lets just say you're of the ilk to MAYBE think she really likes you... You enter the room... kissing ensues... clothes fall off like magic... passion ensues... everything is grand. For those inclined to become attached to a provider because they believe the fantasy, IMO, this is a bad way for things to unfold.

When you arrive... do your intros... then, "excuse me while I freshen up"... you come out and your both naked, or nearly so... To me, this keeps the time in perspective. You're there because you're P4P and ultimately this is about getting some strange (sorry ladies).

That I will be driving a little over an hr but it cold up here in the northeast. From everything I read the lady is not a clock watcher. So it seems like maybe better safe then sorry and I should just take a quick one

I always shower the first time I see a lady they need to know I care and I do. Second time or more I ask if they mind if I don't shower if I just had one at home. So far all have said ok. I very often ask the lady to shower with me. It's fun and makes good use of the time. I'm beginning to do that more and more.

I don't care if you live 5 minutes away. showering sets the right tone, and your privates need a final touch up.  Also even more critical is that you are about to touch, kiss, lick this lady who almost certainly just showered herself. Even if you showered five minutes ago, you touched door handles, steering wheel, keys, and who knows what else. Washing hands and face and using mouthwash seems to me to be the absolute minimum required. While you are at it, you might as well hit the shower. I really do not understand why this keeps coming up. Are we still little boys who are allergic to soap and water?

A shower after arriving and use of the mouthwash that is available is always appreciated by me. Incidentally, a shower afterwards also speaks volumes.
