Hi Guys, thanks for all your help.

I am a Newbie and am about to contact my first provider (after having done my homework, of course).  I'm paranoid about LE.  I realize that everybody recommends that Newbies stick to well-reviewed providers, i.e., providers with at least 5 - 10 reviews, but all the ladies I'm drawn to have only 2-3 reviews.  HOWEVER, the 2-3 reviewers have written 5-10 reviews themselves on TER.  Would you say it's safe to meet with a provider who has only a couple reviews if those who have reviewed her have reviewed many other providers, too?

Thanks again for all your help.

there is no 100% safe answer to your concern.  Another question to ponder, do these ladies have any board presence or did you just find them in the NYC reviews?

By your handle, I take it you are in the NY metropolitan area, and you are already unable to find anyone with more reviews that you like? Man, you are one ornery, rebellious, guy. Either that, or you already are looking for fresh, little girls who are new to the business and you can tell them what to do.

Go see established providers a few times, see how they do it, what they do, how they treat you and themselves, learn the ropes from them, then branch out, chase those new girls if you want, most of us do. By then you will know not just whether those girls are LE, and they probably are not, but also whether they are doing something that is putting you in an unsafe situation.

If you are new, spend your time with someone who will take care of you well, enjoy, learn, before you start to ignore our advice and branch out on your own.

Either way, your party, but it sounds a little too much like the little head is already doing the thinking and that can be a real problem.

Ha, fair enough, fair enough.  That is probably good advice.  Thanks.
