I have been lurking around this board since last April, and finally decided to jump in. I saw my first provider last month. Thanks to all of the advice here, I had a great time. I stuck to a very well reviewed lady, and it would be hard to imagine it working out any better for a first time around. I even wrote a review. It was a little strange to see it posted (hey, that was me!), but all in all a very good experience. I am even going to go see her again next time I am in her city.

Thanks to all of the friendly folks here that helped out.
