i have never hobbied, but will give in to temptation soon. could anyone provide advice on the best route? agency? indy? incall? outcall? I am looking for a fbsm to start. thanks for the help.

Join TER and check reviews.  Find someone who meets your needs.

When I started I went with a well reviewed local provider who preferred outcall.  I got the hotel room at a location she suggested.  I was nervous and admitted it.  She took her time, we had a great "date" and I was hooked on the hobby.  I saw her on the same date the following two years and would have continued but she retired.  If not for her, I may have been a one and done and missed out on so many pleasurable experiences.  I still think of and thank K. to this day.

If you want to start with FBSM, search providers in your area that specialize in that.  Since you have not hobbied before, you have no references.  Therefore, an agency might be the best way to begin, unless you are willing to give your info to the provider for screening purposes.

Anyway, have fun.  This is a great hobby.
