Hello all, I am new to the escort scene and currently looking for providers.  Thanks to TER I have a few I am interested in and am working on moving forward with seeing some of them.  Since I have never had an escort before, I had some questions about what is proper when seeing them.

1. Some ladies will supply toiletries, often you'll just have what the hotel supplies. If you're particular, it would not be weird to bring your own toiletries.

Regarding #1, you may also want to request that the provider not wear any perfumes, etc., and if you are getting a massage, request (or even bring with you) unscented massage oil.  (Pure almond oil is a very good choice along these lines.)

Women have very sensitive noses, and for those of you who will be coming directly home to your SO, you will want to be sure that you smell like you.

It's always good to have a cover story like you stopped at the Y to work out which is why you are showered - or similar ruse.

I prefer that the ladies use perfume, it turns me on. That being said, I don't need to shower when I leave the "date". I'm going directly home, to wash all of my clothes and scrub myself down. Laundry and shower in the afternoon isn't uncommon for me but you'll need to figure out how to not change your routine. I don't hobby at night it wouldn't be possible. Suddenly smelling like another woman or showering at odd times would probably be a big red flag. Plan it out, think it through. BTW, sudden joining a gym may be a red flag as well if you all of the sudden start doing unusual things. If you are going to join a gym and work out alone, you need to do that for a few months so it because routine, no one so you continue working out but so that it becomes background noise and odors to your SO.

She doesn'ty like kissing or any touching for that matter.  This day she wanted a kiss...  I had the sence that even though I'd showered after, I could still taste my date on my lips.  It's not unusual for me to use the bathroom when I arrive home so I played the "Gotta Go" routine.  Before I came out, I took a shower & got clean clothes on.  I approached her in the kitchen & she was no longer interested in kissing.  
A Fluke?  Who knows?

Thanks all for your answers so far.  Each is helpful in its own way.  Harborview, I especially appreciate your answer.  My SO is the same way... but occasionally (not often) is interested.

The answer is simple -- join P411!  I am a long-time hobbyist, but a few years ago I took a multi-year break from the hobby in the US.  During this time all of my old escort friends in the US retired... so when I recently decided to re-join in the fun, I had to start from scratch.  I joined P411, and within a few weeks I had 3 P411 "okays".  It's now rather simple to meet with about 90% of independents and perhaps 50% of agencies.  

...she could have dropped to her knees!

location, I will smell the same as at home or at the gym.  Can't be too careful now a days.

Great idea, I'm also going to carry my gym bag from now on so if I get the "I'm on my way home" text, (never gonna happen) and I can't follow my usual routine, I'll just go to the gym and hop on some cardio machine for a hour. I'll sweat that shit right off me!!!  

P411 charges a fee of $129 billed discreetly to your credit card. It will open many doors for you in the hobby and is most definitely worth it.  I got verified this past fall. Saw a provider that was newbie friendly to get my first"OK" and have been a sure thing with all subsequent contacts. Much easier than having individual providers screen you. Once you're on p411 you can use the site to have subsequent providers give you additional OKs.
