for granted and not put the same effort she used to into the meeting. Well I wonder how many of you ladies have had the same thing happen with a regular?  

not when you find a "suitable replacement."  It's hard for me to understand a good reason why you would continue to see him.  You "just" can't be that desperate for the money, or that "anillusion." LOL!

Many girls will just take their odds with the Wheel O' Stink!

Apart from this he is a very nice guy and I don't want to have to start advertising again and getting used to new clients.  Hence my reference to a replacement. I guess I have become very comfortable with my little group of well known guys.

I just hate to have to advertise again. I have a small group of guys who I know very well. He is the only one that has fallen off the wagon so to speak. I did remedy the situation by booking him early in the morning.  

Got it.  Here's a suggestion: tell him you were pressed for time and need a "quick rinse" yourself, so as to be dewy and fresh for him, then lure him in there with you.  Either that or push him into a vat of sheep dip

That you have been running some errands and it would be nice to have some one mutually shower with you prior to fun and games.

I have to confess, after attending several M&Gs and meeting a few of these nasty ass "Jabba The Hut" type hobbyists, I honestly don't know how you girls do it.

I know there is no "nice" way to tell a person "they stink", but IMO it's better than suffering in silence.

I am not one to suffer unduly and will always find a way out of it.

but there is nothing you can do about a "stanking ass" that won't clean him/herself. Closing your eyes will only make it worse. lol

Smell can make or break it in this business. Looks, I don't care, obese, I don't care as long as the guy is clean.  Now you know why so many ladies press the hygiene aspect and as far as I am concerned, that is the main reason certain things are avoided and outright refused.

Firmly insisting he shower/gargle etc. I wouldn't have done he deed if he wasn't fresh!

When I read a  not so hot report on a gal who routinely receives 8-10s for performance, I oft wonder what it was that caused her to downsize her activities or interaction with the dude.  On a few occasions I have backtracked the gent's other reviews, and found, in some instances, a pattern of him describing a not so complete GFE.  This gets me to wondering, is he on time, is he a "clinger" (that is won't leave when the time is up), is he hygeinic, did he "negotiate" hiimself out of a great time, or what other activity did he engage while with the lady (rude, violent, cause a scene etc.).

.....I would much prefer that my ATF level with me and tell me the problems that can be easily rectified before kicking me to the curb.

I'm there for a reason and that is to go the entire gamut in order for us both to get off.
I am not there to offend, repulse or to get fired.

Maybe your longtime client deserves a frank discussion and overdo reality check.

I agree with romeogolf. People tend to get lazy and need to be "corrected" occasionally. I know you said a discussion with him would not be your choice, but he needs to be told that you can't see him if he can't follow the rules.
He will either start cleaning up, or if his feelings are hurt he might move on. Either way the problem should be solved. If he goes back to being showered and freshens his breath, your regular is "back in the fold".

I simply moved his time to visit to the morning when he is right out of the shower, teeth brushed etc.  

I know that many are very quick to blame the escort for those lower scores that can and do pop up from time to time but you decided to investigate further and can see a bigger picture.  

Shower time not included? I'd shower even if I had just walked out of one. Care to join?

Most incalls are not retrofitted with tubs for the elderly

At least he did it for a while...some don't do it AT ALL. They think because we are whores that we should expect them not do bother. Well, ok...your rate just tripled jack ass, or you can find someone else to see your smelly ass.

I would never see my Provider without taking a Shower first. I always make sure I'm Clean and ready for my Provider. Heck when I go to her Incall location we Shower together. I love Showering with her.

Everything to do with how they feel about them self .  
 A leading indicator of psychiatric vulnerabilities , a lack of desire to maintain  proper bathing habits .  
   

I call bullshit. The very same guys who don't clean up for a whore will do so for their wives. There are exceptions, but many men actually feel this way.
