I've seen a few threads requesting insight on pv agencies and thought it may help to put together some info:

1) why do ppl go pv over escorts?
Plenty of reasons. For one, if you value looks there are some absolute beauties out there that would comparably charge $1,000+ for escorting. No, you don't get the same service but you get the company of a very attractive lady and who knows, you two could hit it off (yes I've been the benefactor on occasion). Other reasons include availability, pure cost (not value), convenience of location etc. My personal favorite reason: because we can. Personally, tattooed bald rocker chic's aren't my thing but I don't knock em because it's somebody's thing. Judging is just a bad look for you.

2) agencies?
I've tried them all. Generally ST has older, not as attractive ladies but there's a trade-off for service and generally you'll get better service and nicer ladies here. BG used to have knockouts but that has dwindled recently. Service isn't as great here. ED is a different setup and not great service or looks.  Yuge case of YMMV as I've had great and terrible experiences at each one.  There are a few fly by night pop ups including one in Springfield and a Russian agency. I've experienced upsell at the Springfield agency and found the Russian agency using someone else's pics so I'm not a fan of either.

3) others
I'm Leary of Indy'sand have found more bait and switch and other issues with Indy and smaller shops. On one occasion in Alexandria, the girl asked me to tell the owner that I walked out so she could keep the whole donation. Weird encounters here.

4) do I recommend?
That's up to you. As anyways, YMMV

Please pm for details or include your experiences below

Great summary, Lookin'.  

Personally, I like agencies for the higher quality (in terms of looks), convenience and lower risk.  No full service is not an issue for me, as I find that an attractive, creative gal can create a much more intense, intimate experience than any quickie.

One comment on ST.  One of the gals once used coconut scented baby oil.  They have showers there, but my wife has a nose like a bloodhound, so I was concerned she might ask 'what's that smell?'.  Just be advised.

I've tried to find some indy's in NoVa and Montgomery County, and have come up empty.  Any suggestions, please post or PM me.  I know there are many Asian providers, but Asian gals just ain't my thing.

VIPS_______se?  

I largely agree with you.  I miss Jordan at BG, but Emily and Leah are VERY attractive.  

I like Bianca at ST.  She's sweet and very pretty, about 30-ish.  Her menu is limited, but I'd repeat.

Based on your experience, can confirm that Emma at Eden is, in fact, Alyssa from BG? If so, is her service as good as it had been at BG?

Thanks!

Same experience in MoCo and occasionally, some pop up in Arlington / Crystal City.  Otherwise it's largely focused in TC.

FYI - I always tell them no oil for that same reason.  I have a thing with gross showers and refuse to shower unless it's in a nicer hotel.

Leah is great, but I'm seeing her availability less and less now.  The "starters" aren't as attractive as they used to be.  I'm curious to your experiences with Emily.  Bianca at ST is cool, I like 'em a little younger but I found her very sociable and friendly.  Khloe was great but it looks like she isn't around anymore.

Does anyone else think ED needs a new camera-man? lol  Typically, there's at least 3 of the same picture.

I've seen Emma and thought she was okay. Friendly but just okay.  Can't vouch for Alyssa at BG.

I hate to be a pain but can someone tell me what the BG and other agency initials stand for and how to contact them?

I'm curious if someone can describe a typical PV session. I'm curious if mutual shower is generally allowed and multiple pops allowed with a 60 minute appointment

To address your 2 specific questions:

--Mutual shower is not impossible but highly unlikely from my experience.  

--Multiple pops are generally allowed, based on my limited experience, though I think I've read of some girls denying a second.  Keep in mind that 30-minute appointments really mean about 20-23 minutes of play once you factor in the time to get to the condo, getting "comfortable," and cleanup.  Some of us can't do 2 pops that quickly.

any body have a clue of what happened to the place in Springfield.. there girls where a knock out as far as looks  

Cups of coffee depending on how long you stay. When I was at Blue Gems years ago, it was a half hour or an hour and Sam didn't allow anything over the hour. Sam was the old owner.  PV can be fun, and highly erotic because it isn't going all the way. It was a busy place when I was there and we had an awesome lineup. Myself, Kelly(one of my best friends still), Nikki, Carmen, Candy, Jenna, Tara, Mya, Britney and Elina Morgan was there as well briefly. It was a fun place.  

 The tricky part was having 2 appts going on at the same time. It was a 2 bedroom , with rooms on either side of the apt, and we would navigate the men in and out without them EVER seeing or being aware of each other. Never, while I was there did any clients ever see each other.  It was a bit like a Sorority in the sense, that you had a group of girls hanging out in their underwear together. LOL lots of good fun memories.  I left and everyone slowly trickled out and now there is a new owner. I know it is not the same place it once was. Not as good. But alas, good things always come to an end or there are those that get better with each passing time.  

 Happy Easter everyone!!

Throughout your long diatribe you never mentioned any services. YMMV and you may get  
this doesn't get it for me. My $$$ will be spent with independants  or agencies.  Unless you can provide me with useful information.

Tara and Nikki (the most beautiful eyes ever!), those are some happy memories

At it's most basic, PV is a striptease followed by a HJ. That's it. Sometimes you can get more on the menu, for a bit extra $$$, and sometimes not.

Those were the days. Saw Sidney Starr and Candy several times when they first transitioned away from PV.
Tara was one of my ATF PV experiences.

One of my best experiences ever was PV with Sidney at BG, saw her multiple times there... THE BEST!  sexiest Eye contact ...off the charts.  

Sydney,

I remember those fun times at bluegems, meeting you, Carmen, Candie, Elina, and Tara at Sam's place. Tara's bolt-ons and service are burned in my mind...what a dozen years later.

Not true on showing with PV girls.  I've showered with multiple girls at two of the three agencies in Tyson's.  After multiple visits I can usually ask for it for a cleaner and more intimate DATY and DATO session.

golf1953,

It's apparent you may not have read the subject of my initial post.  A guide to PV is not intended to be a review.  You can check reviews for that.  Further, it's frowned on to discuss specifics in an accessible forum for obvious reasons.  Finally, in consideration of your ultimatum - I don't give a Fuck where you spend your money.

I hope this shorter diatribe helps clarify things for you.

Internet trolling is a real problem.  Please help me to rein in trolls.

great post and spot on...  

Thx

Yes. What a joy to read this and the other couple of related posts. I hardly check into this forum anymore (not interested in reading endless ISOs from people who don't check ads or reviews), and the rare and useful material was wonderful to find.

What is BG?  What is ST?  All these abbreviations, and I can't even search for the place.
