Ok, so I've registered as a VIP, gone through reviews, selected a few in my favorites, but

1) What is the best way to contact a provider you're interested in? I'm sure must of them must be wary, if somebody's a cop or something (I gather that by reading some of the disclaimers on some of ther websites)

2) I'm traveling to SF in November and would like to set up a session - should I try to set up something early on or wait till I get there and try to contact them? I've only done this thing a couple of times, and it was flipping through the phone book. Expensive, and not very satifying. Phone contact at this point would be not very wise, SO and all.

3) On a more personal note, how do some of the providers react when guys aren't exactly in thier prime anymore? I mean, I'm no Farley, but surely no Brad Pitt, either/ I know they're paid pros, but still, basic human attraction still applies

4) What about STDs? I'm guessing most of the girls reviewed here take care of themselves, but they do have alot of sexual contact. In particular, pussy licking and such? Do you guys worry about that?

1 I prefer email that way you can give her all your screening info BTW disclaimers don't mean crap
2 Set up before you get there have a plan B and buy a disposable cell to use while hobbying
3 Some you will click with and others not just like in real life If your money is green and you are clean most don't care if you have 3 eyes
4  Don't have BBFS and you will probabaly be OK. I think most of us have a litlle worry but not enough to stop
Your biggest problem is not having any references. Your going to have to give up some personal info to get an appt.
Relax and have fun

(1) Most providers specify which way they want to be contacted.  But in the absence of direction, try e-mail first.  If you don't get a quick reply, then try calling.  You probably know this from purusing TER, but don't under any circumstances, ask about services provided in e-mail or on the phone.  Most of that will be available on the girl's site anyway.  See #2 for more on calling...

(2) By all means, do it in advance if you can.  But have a second option just in case.  If you're not going to have Internet access in SF for some reason, take the list with you just in case your first plan falls through.  Calling the listings in the phone book almost never works out - you're right, expensive and not very satisfying.  Also - since you have an SO, do yourself a favor and get thee to a Wal-Mart where you can buy a TracFone for $20 and calling cards to use with it.  Best hobbying decision I've made to this point - it's pretty anonymous: no bill, no contact information, no contract.  You activate it online, with false info if you like, and done.  Pay for it with cash and there's almost no record you even have one.

(3) Relatively few of us believe we're Brad Pitt and the ones that do have an ego issue.  Providers are used to just about everything and as long as you are well-groomed, with good hygeine (shower just before you start the show...it's the best way) most of them don't care.  You're right about chemistry having a part in it, but don't worry about your resemblance to Hollywood sex symbols.  Providers aren't expecting that anyway.  Treat the ladies well, look your cleanest and best, and all should be fine.

(4) There's some worry - but hey, I walk across a busy intersection every day to get to *work*.  And work's not even all that fun!  All it takes is one idiot on a cell phone not paying attention to the light color to knock me 2000 feet into the next life.  Pick well-reviewed providers, never engage in BBFS and if all else fails, use your eyes and your nose.  If you get down there and something doesn't look / smell right, don't do it.  Even if nothing's wrong and it's just a hygeine issue, you don't want to follow through anyway, right?

And finally, most importantly, try to relax and have a good time.  Worry if you like about crossing the street to get to work.  But don't spend a lot of time worrying about something you're doing to treat yourself to a good time - or else it's hard to have one, right?  Just be smart, use TER as the marvelous resource that it is, and early on stick with the well-known, well-reviewed providers.  

Enjoy your trip.   -PV

if you are new, you might want to use Date Check or Room Service 2000 for the reference issue if you are not comfortable giving out employment info.

What are Date Check and Room Service 2000?

I have grown to love email contact as my first entree when setting up a date. I have found that providers that take this route are better educated, have exceptional oral, hair and body hygiene, have interests other than providing and are discreet and conservatively dressed when they show up for the session.

(Q) What is the best way to contact a provider you're interested in? I'm sure must of them must be wary, if somebody's a cop or something (I gather that by reading some of the disclaimers on some of ther websites)

(A) E-mail is the most relaxed and non-invasive form of initial contact as well as the many other good reasons given by "Stilltryin25"


3)

(A)A favorite of mine once told me "It's a hookers job to fuck the most unattractive men on the planet" Her candor may be a bit brutal but it is factual.


4)
(Q) What about STDs? I'm guessing most of the girls reviewed here take care of themselves, but they do have a lot of sexual contact. In particular, pussy licking and such? Do you guys worry about that?

(A) This issue has been discussed ad-nauseam on ALL the boards and it usually is raised by a newbie. Just like NASCAR race drivers; providers do all they can to protect themselves AND you. Relatively few and predominantly benign STDs are transmitted via oral sex however shit can happen and your marital status will/should influence your personal level of practice.
HINT! Providers don't like to be assumed as walking depositories of transmittable diseases so it would be wise introspection to curb any latent judgmental or preconceived prejudices.

Go to Google and look up those two services.  It's really the best way for you to understand what they are and what they provide.

Thanks all for the advice. I like the walmart phone thing - will have to look into that!

Hopefully, I will be able to make a positive hookup on my travels!
