and the answer would be probably not.

In fact, it is fairly rare (Though I know of a few.) to find a LMT or CMT who provide.

The safest way to hobby is to see well reviewed providers, regardless of whether they have a license for this or that.

I hope he breaks the ice soon.

I have a buddy that is just starting in the p4p world, he is very nervous about it all.  He has been cruising TER, P411, etc.  The other day he asked me a question that I answered the best way I knew how.  I've thought about it over the last few days and figured I'd post it here.  So is a hobbyist safer seeing a licensed (LMT) or CMT than someone else.  I think once he breaks the ice he will be okay.  There are a few that openly advertise newbie friendly that interest him.  Thanks guys and gals....

sorry I should have been a little clearer, one of the provider's he is interested in is well reviewed.  She is also licensed and newbie friendly.  Thank you!

unless you know she offers extras...  like if she has reviews...  I started with a former LMT who only offered Happy Endings at first.  Once she got to know you, she would offer extras (though she'd never state a fee which puts the burden on the guy to decide on a "tip".
Yes, I think starting with FBSM gals is a good way to break the ice.  

For a guy that's new and nervous, perhaps an FBSM provider might be the way to start out.  In your second post, you mentioned that he has his eye on one.  If all you said is true, I see no reason he shouldn't see her.  If she is licensed as a MT, he is under no obligation to opt for full service.  Should he like her, he can always shoot for more on a subsequent visit.
But, yes, if she is licensed, she may be putting her license in jeopardy by offering any kind of sexual extras.

Many reviews should make him feel safer than a government issued license. You could also recommend someone you found to be safe.

Thanks for your help as always..

Thanks Swim, you guys are always a great help....

Thanks DJ, they lady he's interested has both so I also told him to go for it... We do have some differences in the ladies we like, but no biggie to each his own...  Thanks
