I've been lurking on this website for quite some time.  I've never hobbied but I've always had the itch to start.  I've seen too many profiles to providers that I can't believe I've missed out on, all this time.  You lucky bastages!

Any advice for a first-timer to get off on the right foot?

Thanks!  I'll hang up and listen.

Pretty much the same people over there, we're just more in the mood to help out a newbie on that board.   Good post, you'll get some great advice!!

But, someone watch my stuff.  I'll be right back!

No racks for Rome here. But welcome

Out

...probably because we all peed in it.  But seriously, join the cess pool.  One suggestion - get off on both feet, not just the right foot.

Well, we know 2 things about you now - Long time listener, first time poster (caller). You're a Ditto Head.  Bastages?  You have seen "Johnny Dangerously."  Am I right or am I right-huh huh huh?

Start with a well reviewed provider who physically fits your ideal and is reviewed as someone who can carry on a conversation.  Look for descriptives such as "she made me feel immeidately relaxed", or she led the session, etc.  Also, if the provider is well reviewed and truly professional, it is not a mistake to tell her it is your first time.  I did, and she responded with a naughty (sweet) smile and I was off to the races.  Be safe and be considerate.  Remember, let her lead the session...don't make her uncomfortable.  I suggest in-call for a starter.
