Most lady's provide condoms... but it would be a wise investment to buy a package of your prefered type. I prefer the premium thin type so it matters to me. I always have more than we'll need & I give her the opportunity to check the sealed packages... it would s*ck to run out. For longer dates, you probably will need more than 1 & if something goes wrong with one, it might need to be replaced as well. Some ladies might refuse to use covers you provide, as is their right, but I've never had that happen. I just place them on the bedside table before the play begins. If we both use the bathroom for a moment, she'll have the oportunity to check the packages.

Depending on the experience you desire... I like to bring a mildly scented candle or 2, some music (covers sounds).

Getting set for first time as a hobbyist

So, I've made an appointment with a well-reviewed provider from an agency for my first hobbyist experience during an upcoming trip to Seattle. Everything is all set, but I have a few newbie-ish questions:

1) The age-old tipping issue. I know it's technically appreciated, not required, up to me, etc., etc. I also know it's not a city in China. I'm paying for two hours ('cause I want a more relaxed experience), and the agency fee is $500. Is a $200 tip too little? Too much? What do you think of tossing in a $50 Babeland gift card. (For those who don't know, Babeland was formerly Toys in Babeland, a well-reviewed sex shop in Seattle.)

2) I plan to stop at Babeland to pick up some supplies. For lubes, is it better to just get unflavored, or should I try a flavored? Maybe one of each? And for those who've tried Babeland's flavored, which one is best: dulce de leche, mojito peppermint, pomegranate vanilla, and chocolate orange?

3) I'm in Seattle for multiple days, and I may have some free time the day after my first hobbyist experience. Is it considered tacky to see another girl from the same agency so soon after seeing the first? There are two (well, more, actually, but two leading contenders) that I was really interested in, with a slight preference for the one I'm seeing first.

Thanks! I appreciate your input.

IMHO...

1 - As you mentioned, tipping is optional. $50-$100 should be adequate, especially since you are already spending 5 bills for the two hrs.

2 - Bring what ever you want. Just keep everything sealed, so they know that its brand new.

3 - Absolutely, if you have your eye on another provider, go ahead and book another appointment. They may even offer a "back to back." You can start with one, go for an hour, take a smoke break, then spend another fun fill hour with the other. Or ask about a double!!

Hello from Seattle!

1. Your suggested tip is almost 50% of the rate. Much too generous, IMHO. Especially as agency ladies tend to stick to schedule, and are all inclusive if reputable. What lady wouldn't love a feet for babeland! How thoughtful!

2. The lady is likely to have her own preferred lotions and potions. If you want to bring something, great! Don't be surprised if she doesn't allow it used on her. Many flavored products have sugar and chemicals which are actually unfriendly to delicate lady parts. Fortunately babeland has testers of most products so you can choose the flavor YOU like best.

3. The agency would be appreciative of your repeat business, I am sure!

Have a great visit... Our weather has been fantastic!

Xoxo,
Sola

Re: Hello from Seattle!

Thanks for the perspective. I guess my perspective on the tip is that I generally tip 20-25% at a restaurant, and I would be asking quite a bit more from the provider. (This base would be adjusted if waitresses gave bjs and providers brought fresh bread as a matter of course. ) I just wanted to be sure that if I was making a mistake on the tip, it was on the side of paying too much rather than too little. I figure paying too much can't really work against me in terms of quality of service.

I'd probably not tip as much for an independent just because she doesn't split the base pay with anyone else. Kind of like how I don't pay much of a tip when it's the salon owner, as opposed to one of his/her employees, that cuts my hair.
