Obviously, I'm brand new to the site and to the whole scene.  I know you get this question a lot, but how would you recommend a noob like me to get started?  I live in the area, so any hints specific to the area would be appreciated as well as any specific girls you know who would be good for a first timer.

Thanks in advance.

if u have a job already... just send in some proof along with identification...

Otherwise, I would start out with one of the agencies or independents in TER that don't require too many information.

you better be over 18 years old, lol
Seriously, if you don't want to use one of those verification services, just give out your name, school info, HOBBY phone number and HOBBY EMAIL.

Your name and school/work info being in escort's or agency's list do NOT prove that you did anything wrong.  Escorting is legal.  Read this:  http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion_boards/viewmsg.asp?MessageID=14029&boardID=25&page=3

Just do not discuss about any sexual act for money over the phone or before/during/after  the sessions. Most smart escorts won't ask for it. They just assume, you will give it to them at the end. Most customers do discreetly If not, they will get banned, blacklisted or info exposed to others.  Also, LE wants you to TALK or do something to demonstrate that you were there to exchange sex for money, since they have to  PROVE it to convict.

These days, anyone can steal anyone's information. One can get hacked online.  Lost ID, Driver license could be used by others that share same ethnic background. Someone can use other people's phones to call or text others. Also, most iphone are linked to work/personal emails these days. Have you not noticed?
In addition, work or personal emails can be forged. Last time, someone was caught forging other people's emails.

Therefore, nothing can be proven without getting caught or confessing. Of course, when you see the escorts, don't blur out all your personal info, since they can testify against you, if necessary. Lastly, never use credit card  or give out SSN; these not only leaves paper trails but also you can become a victim of identity theft

Thanks for the response.  All the information is really helpful.

I'm 25 so age isn't a problem.  I'm a current college student with no job (Damn economy lol), so I've been somewhat daunted by the verification process.  Date-check looks to be more up my alley, i.e. cheaper, to register.  I'm wary tough of providing part of my SSN to them especially since I'm not sure I'd be verified.

Also, I was wondering what I could expect in terms of cost.  I know you need to be a VIP to see individual provider's prices, but I would like to know the average price for service so that I don't get totally taken.

Read a few threads, that Newbie board is useful for guys just getting into the hobbying scene. I have attached the board below. I also attached the "Self Help Center". There you can find some useful "stuff". Invest a few hours to have an understanding of the hobby.

support this hobby. Some of these girls will run you some good chunk of change. I provided you a Newbie thread, hopefully you spent some time finding some decent threads there.

If you are uncomfortable with giving you SSN, then don't. Some guys here don't. When I book a provider, I don't give out my work information or SSN. They only thing I give them is the datecheck, preferred411, provider reference, TER handle, and a name I go by (not my real name).

rates and services for some providers. You would want a GFE provider, and, they will typically charge you $300-$400 an hour, and that is average. There are some that are higher, and some that charge as much as a down payment on a car. But, the average rate is at least $300. Don't pay anything lower than $300, otherwise your experience will not be what you expected.

You should also avoid BackPage providers. Look at the regional ad boards for DC, and check out some of the girls there. Make sure they have good reviews, but, you need VIP to see their scores, rates, services, and reviews.

Please visit the Newbie board too.

Yeah, I think some providers are concerned that younger guys will get obsessive and feel they can't live without her.  So just remember, don't do that, don't stalk, none of that shit.  Sometimes you might become social friends with a provider, but that is very rare, only if you two really click, and if she initiates.  So don't expect it.

Thanks McDonald for the info.  I've been digging around and most of the most reputable sites/ girls based on reviews require references from previous providers which I don't have.  Many have a set form for you to fill out and you can't proceed without filling it out.  I'm OK with giving them part  of my SSN, but since I don't have a job or previous references I feel like they won't except.  I don't want to give my SSN number if I'm not pretty sure of being excepted.

My primary goal is NOT to become a hobbyist.  Its to get laid for the first time.  While I'm open to the possibility of continuing after my first provider, I'm not actively planning for it.  Why then am I here you ask?  Because this seems the most reputable source of information out there, and I don't want to get scammed.  Also, the community here seems rather supportive.

Really, though thanks for the reminder Teddy, I'll keep that in mind.

I started hobbying in my 20s too, but I already had a very good job, no debt (not even 1 red cent), and  was already building up savings for retirement.

This hobby can cost you some money, and can be very addictive. Its a beast that you need to learn how to tame. I struggled initially trying to keep the balance. I am not dissuading you from hobbying, but just giving you some insight.

Another thing.. Please don't tell providers that you are a virgin.  Some of them may not be too psyched by the idea of taking someone's virginity.

It's a bit more risky and the quality is likely to be lower, but you may have more luck with amps that offer FS. There are still some AMPs that offer FS left in DMV.. You could also drive up to DE or NYC. They are cheaper too!

A virgin has no business being involved in this hobby. Unless youre grossly obese or have 2 heads or something, you should be able to find your first piece of ass the old fashioned way........pick up a slut in a bar! This hobby is not for de flowering virgins. You will get laid by one of these pros and you will go ape shit crazy and the next thing you know you will be in hock up to your eyeballs!

I didnt see my first escort until I was making close to 200K/yr.

At 30% interest compounded daily.......hahahaha!

Stop bragging, lol. Well, I am almost half way there, ahhaha

I see no reason why being a virgin should prevent you from diving in, but just don't expect sex with your eventual first girlfriend to match up to the experience.  Who knows, telling her it's your first might get you some bonus.

I went with P411 which as some newbie friendly girls, but frankly they are not particularly attractive.  You don't give your SS# to them, I gave them my library card number for provider verification.  I went to see a lovely independent who has vouched for me for the couple of other providers I've seen at agencies and so I don't give out personal info to any new dates.

Really, I have to echo the other comments.  You need a job... even if its just washing dishes.  This is an expensive hobby and you'll pay $300 or better for a first time independent.

The hobby might be just the spur you need to go out and get a job.  Even if its just washing dishes.

You're getting good advice for and against, but I'm waiting to hear from one of our more experienced providers out there.

So ladies, any advice the young lad? Is it any interest to you to take his virginity, teach him the ways of the world and how to please a woman?

Personally I think this is a great ide. I bet most of us boys here fumbled through it the first time and it was over before we knew it.

A lady did that once and got some high offers, but then it was a lady.  Now with a guy it is hard to say what the ladies placing offers might look like.  But heck, if he makes a lot doing that then he can use the proceeds picking ones himself.

ReaL-LY.

I think that you ladies have a lot to add, too. The guys can talk about finances and addictiveness. I doubt if many can talk about whether it is better for a first time to be with a provider or a girlfriend, and of course none of us have had both experiences. I tend to agree with their comments on finances so I will not repeat them, but maybe the OP has a trust fund or otherwise can afford it.

Elizabeth: Even though your website indicates that you only see men over 35 (in line with many of the most-highly rated providers), you could give this guy or any other virgins or near-virgins that stumble across this thread some sense as to why that is your policy, and what you think he should do. Have you ever had a first-timer and what advice would you give based on that experience?

My two cents worth: I am not sure if it is better to have your first time with an amateur or an escort. I think an experienced girlfriend would be best (how I lost it), but an escort might be preferable to a bar pickup and hookup with a near stranger (probably safer too). Two virgins together sounds sweet, but those who have reported on the experience make it sound somewhere between comic and pathetic as often as not. As a 25-year-old, presumably the likely amateur dates for someone the OP's age are less likely to be virgins themselves. I would encourage him to get taught by someone with whom there is some real affection rather than just a good GFE provider (sweet as she might be). As to whether seeing a provider ruins you for real affectionate sex with a future partner; I doubt it, but I wouldn't know. I lost my virginity in a very warmly remembered experience more than a decade before I saw my first escort.

Best of luck vkint88, and hopefully some of the well regarded ladies will weigh in with their views.

you could join a couple of the on line dating services for much less than a provider.  When I was your age I did that and got more action than any time in my life.  It can be a challenge to make sure chick #1 does not find out about chick #2, etc.  But when you move into this game you are looking for that quick fun then move on.  Also, for another thought....

First off, thanks for all the responses.  If any of you were wondering, I did see an independent provider this weekend.  She was not as expensive as you had suggested, I only saw her for 30 min, though. I made sure not to tell her that I was a virgin, only new to escorts, though she probably could have guessed anyway.  While the beginning was somewhat awkward, the ending was great.  She did everything I asked for.  I can't imagine my first experience being any better with anyone else.  The whole situation took a lot of the pressure off of me.  Knowing that she was there just to make me feel good was very relaxing.

While I had a great time, I have no burning need to repeat the experience in the future.  I am certainly open to it, however.

Congratulations!  Also, you can still tell the story of how you lost your virginity without it bothering future girlfriends, simply substitute where you met from hotel or "trick pad" to bar and substitute how you got her from money to dinner and a few drinks.  So if you think you want to do this again I would suggest writing a nice review and send her a PM asking her to be a reference.  That will open more doors for you later if you want.  But as I said in my previous post, at your age you might want to consider a couple of on line dating services since you can actually get some action for dinner and a few drinks once or twice.  The only negative for that approach is you have to be ready to deal with their "continued expectations" in the event you don't feel the same way.  Wanting to avoid those "continued expectations" is one of the things that eventually drives most guys here.
