Im sure  this has been covered many times but...
Showers !!!

I have a beautiful incall. I spend alot on every kind of soap and bath products you could ever need.

Before any of my "friends" come to see me I take my time getting pretty, shower, lotions and potions to make sure I please them in every way.

Sadly without starting a Bashing post.. not all my "friends" seem to do the same. Im going to say its about 50/50.

Is there a certain rule of thumb guys go by ? shower at home and then a quick freshen up before the fun begins ??

I would love to hear others thoughts on this.

I always like to work out and take a shower a couple of hours prior to seeing a provider.  I find that the combo refreshes me and allows me to be at the peak of my game when seeing a woman.

In most cases, when a provider asks me to take a shower, I explain and it is all right.  Presumably, she trusts me because she can see that I am well groomed and smell good.

Bottom line -- it's cool if providers want you to be freshly showered, but hopefully they take your word when you say you already have that covered and want to get to the fun right away ...

I could shower at home or work, drive 15 minutes to meet a lady, and I'd still shower upon arrival. For me, it isn't whether I'm clean or not, because I am, but the perception given to the lady. If I run through the shower there, not only am I freshly scrubbed, but she knows it and doesn't even have to wonder.

Taking a shower doesn't really require a lot of time, if you are a typical guy. No super long hair to worry about and not metrosexual with styling products. Just wander into the bathroom, strip down, shower with whatever soap is available. Dry off and exit the bathroom in far less clothing than you went in. In some cases, the rapidity of getting clothes off moves things along and easily offsets the time spent getting clean. Net benefit for everyone. On longer meetings, things are more leisurely, but I'm still very comfortable with whatever time it takes.

I like showers. A meeting where I'm repeating with a lady and there aren't the same nerves on either end, I'd really like a mutual shower. I don't care about all the makeup and such, so I don't care if it gets washed off. A lady joining me in the shower to get all warm, sudsy and squeaky clean would be a great start to our time together. I've also had a few post-play mutual showers, and they have been something I've really enjoyed.

I figure even just a 15-30 minute drive sitting on my butt in leather seats is a good reason to freshen up again. I tend to repeat with the ladies who join me in the shower for some some good clean foreplay.

and I still take a quick shower when I get into the room. I usually carry my a discrete travel pack of toiletries. My preference is multi-hour sessions so a few minutes in the shower is not big deal. And the psychological benefit in her mind that she is about to engage with a squeaky clean client pays dividends for me.

Do you offer or suggest a shower or just hope that the guys will get the hint? I almost always take a shower when I get to an in call. If I came from home and it was a short drive I may not but, if it's been more than an hour or two, I always take one.

That two or three minutes spent getting "shower fresh" can pay huge dividends when the time comes to bump uglys...

no matter how long it has been. And I always make sure to leave 10 minutes at the end to rinse off prior to leaving. It's always a plus when she joins me for at least one of them.

I'm very proud of all the guys who shower and show up squeaky clean like me. I'm so paranoid of anything bad, I could perform surgery on myself before and not have any chance of infection. After hearing some of the stories about what type of lazy filthy dirty disrespectful jerks actually show up to these beautiful ladies (that they expect to be 150% cleaner than a surgical ward) it's great to hear that there are even more guys that would shower before, and even during if that's what is desired. It's not only about cleanliness, it's about respect. Get those nooks and cranny's clean boys, and the ladies will reward us all the more : )And after seeing your pics for the first time, I'm taking a shower right now just in case you appear in my dreams : )

I take one before and after (if I don't fall asleep first).

there is no rule.... This is, unfortunately, the rules of men, which means some are pigs and some are neatnics, and some are in between.

The ladies can't get away with being disgusting, and make any decent coin, so it is self-selecting for providers.

Along with your rates, you might put a glaring note that YMWV (your mileage WILL vary) depending on whether they use your shower or not. If it is that important to you... I like one local agency that does a 70 minute hour to allow 10 minutes for a shower.

wash anything but his private parts.   didn't seem to use deodorant.  stinky stinky stinky
BUT.. he was a film maker and was one of the most interesting clients ever.. PLUS he was very very generous with the dollars, usually 1hr = $1,000 and my time fee is 1hr=$400
Which really makes the stink smell like roses.
I couldn't wait for him to call.

Maybe men should remember that for some of us the wash or no wash issue: The washing can be transversely proportional to the cash offered.
ha ha

....I've never been denied the opportunity  

If she's visitng me, I'll have showered (probably twice) within the last 1/2 hour.

Because I always leave from home, I always shower before departure.  I travel with toiletries: a toothbrush, floss & mouthwash which I use upon arrival.  I go to trouble to be clean on arrival but still excuse myself to her bathroom to do a once over.  I would not want to put my mouth anywhere that was unwashed...  I expect the same from her.

If you wanted me to shower after arriving, I would be happy to do so.  So far, no one has asked me to do it upon arrival.

I can't imagine arriving not squeaky clean, etc.

Both you and your client should be clean and fresh.  If you want a guy to shower or bathe just before a session, make it a fun part of the experience and flirtatiously tell him its required. Personally, I would not take offense to any heigene related suggestion. I'm a clean guy, but I realize the provider may not know me and if she wants me to have a new shower or bath (especially if she'll join me) I'm all for it.

for God's sake there has to be at least one dissenting vote on the subject.

Really though, how many are going to answer this kind of question using their true user name and say anything different than what you already heard/read?

When it is an evening appointment after work, I ask to take a shower. Take shower whenever a provider mentions it. Have had appointments early mornings, when I just finished doing my morning things and got in my car and went to the appointment. No provider has ever mentioned shower those times.

Don't believe there is yes and no answer, it is situational. If you run across someone who doesn't like take showers in real life, then you are pretty much screwed.

Since you are my most amazing doubles partner..PLEASE keep showering LMAO

When I see a lady it's usually on the weekends. Shit, it's not like I'm going to work or anything, and have to make a good impression. Who's paying who?

Matter of fact, one time I was hungover as fuck, woke up late, jumped in my car and got the hell over there so I could make my 'date'.

Showed up with a cigarette hanging out of my mouth, half a six-pack(hey, it was a long drive), and still wearing the shit I passed out in the night before.

She asked me if I wanted to take a shower and I said 'what the hell for? I'm gonna be all sweaty here in about 5 minutes anyway?'

Never saw her again after that for some reason. Still won't answer my PMs.

But there's more where that came from!

LOL!!!

Again, it all boils down to respect,respect, respect. Some have it and some will never have it and they are usually jerks who don't deserve the time with any woman. But that's just the same for them in the civi world. I treat every woman the same as I would treat (actually sometimes better because there's no games, except the really good games ; ),in the civi world. Ladies, I hope you know that the guys who do care and respect out number the jerks, or at least I hope they do.
