Purell works, too and a little less toxic...

Poster's age: 23 Possibly the guy in the photo is the "poster"?

In general, I find that I have better experiences with providers in their mid-30s or older. (I'm early 40s) The reason is more about how I think they see me rather than how I see them -- and nothing against younger (20 something) ladies. One of my closest friends in the hobby is 26. And of the few folks I see regularly, a couple are 20 something & we seem to have very nice visits...so go figure I imagine that the the chances of a enjoyable time seem to be greater with the aforementioned 30+ group than 20 somethings.....or they're just better a pretending.

Is my visits are usually early afternoons during the week (M-F) and I'm always in business-casual (for lack of a better term.) I'm sort of curious how casual is too casual for providers? (Without resorting to "as long as you're wearing "green" they don't care..." replies, is shorts and a t-shirt too far? Or is it mostly about not looking like a slob regardless of what you're wearing. Yeah..I don't see this question ending well, but I am stil curious.

The Abyss (...at home)

Google "7202734217 escort" and a number of hits return. Doesn't look promising.

I'm not sure, but Justina Carter might be able to discuss this.

As I think about it, it totally depends on the provider's "status." I usually see the same few people regularly and a new person now and again. Among the "regulars," a couple are under the radar and never advertise, so I just email with a possible time/date in the near future & we then start coordinating schedules. Then, there are a couple who I only contact when they post and ad. And the last one, advertises sporadically, but will set an appointment even without an ad up. If I'm trying to schedule with a new person, I only contact when an ad is posted. So, does it matter if an ad is posted...no, yes, maybe?

I know you're not outing anyone, but I wonder if No. 40-ranked tennis player Klára Koukalová is a secretly a therapist in Denver going the extra mile? http://denver.backpage.com/TherapeuticMassage/compassionatein-call-structural-integrative-massage/16490336

With all due respect, she's not. There is also something to be said for being a bit immune to one's own...fragrance and, I believe I've read that the sense of smell is one the quickest to accomodate (get used to an odor), so there is that. What to do? I think, a very gentle mentioning of it would be in line. Sort of like when you have food stuck in your teeth. On the other hand, maybe she noticed and just hoped you didn't. So, a discrete mention would allow her to try to address the issue. And thanks to Danielle (who I believe is a former RN, yes?) and Oxy for a couple of good lessons on female physiology.

I've had providers -- not often -- contact to cancel on very short notice. It happens and I don't take it personally, especially with folks I've met before and know are generally solid. My work schedule is pretty unstable, on one hand, but when it isn't I have a lot of control. So, I usually don't have to cancel. When I do, I think I've been lucky enough to have always given a day's notice. That seems to be acceptable and I haven't (as far as I know) been put on a Don't See List. (I usually try to reschedule as soon as I can with the provider I cancelled.) I think being mature and understanding goes a long way.

There must be something in the air... Just the other day, I contacted an out-of-town/visiting provider (a first for me) and started the appointment/screening process. Of course between the initial "Can you meet 'day at x hour" email and the P411 appt note, I swapped the days. Ooops. On the day of the meeting, usual two-call (or in my case, txt) on the hotel and room. Well, the room came in with a typo. The place only had two floors and the room number indicated a higher one. Back and forth, back and forth until I realized I was in the wrong place. (The correct one was across the street.) Oh, good grief. Finally, met the young lady, all went well and I'm on my way back to work when a text comes in: Donation was short. ARRGH! Apparently, my understanding and her's were different. Quickly, returned and made up the difference. Through it all, the provider could not have been nicer, more patient or more understanding. Hopefully, I got all those errors out of my system.

Completely agree on every point. Excellent list, Luke.

Hmmm....what are yours? Things I've not tried but often think about definitely tie & tease (giving) and possibly Greek (again, "giving.") But only with someone who truly enjoys it not just tolerates it.

>>You're a pure lover with no need for all those whips and chains fuss in your bed. Experimenting with new things can make things new and exciting, but love-making can be great when it's just simple! You're not into fetishes or kinks, and prefer to keep your sex life classy and kink-free. Good for you! In other words: vanilla.

This going to sound harsh, but I would imagine dudes who would avoid someone that sketchy won't need the review/warning and those who would chase her won't pay attention to the review.

I'd add that music is good. (no music is fine, too) But, I'd offer you get a subscription. It is always a little jarring when some random ad comes on.

"The female clitoris...?"

I would agree with PB. Same situation. I can't really explain the zero interest in sex aside from the usual too worn out from work, the "unmentionables," maybe age (but we're still fairly young, oh, and me. Honestly, I'm doing everything I can & our relationship -- by her estimation -- is good. I'm staying fit and so on (not much I can do about my crank size. Average is best I can do.) But, no intimacy of any sort for years -- approaching ten... FML. Anway, it is off to EscortLand -- precisely because it isn't an affair. No need for that sort of connection or possible drama. Anyway, to your original point. All the issues you mention can be handled by a burner/pre-paid smart phone. (I actually use an old iPod Touch since I almost never have to phone. Email, txt'ing and P411 work well on it.) Web browsers on these devices have the same incognito & privacy modes as a computer. Since I'm mostly a early afternoon visitor, it just stays in the office desk drawer.

Sounds like she didn't know the reference was a dominatrix & not an escort until mid-way into the text'ing. (And, it's perfectly legal to see an escort. Time & companionship, you know...)

Hmm, it might not be a "deal breaker," but it doesn't instill confidence. One option might be to ask someone, who uses grammar correctly, to take a look at the text. That might be challenging in this business. ("Mom, could you proofread my ad...?") I'm sure there are a few clients who wouldn't mind helping.

Small and weak? ( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/punny ) It happens to the best of us. Autocorrect is no one's friend.

Most definitely...

I actually don't mind the lack of details, due to the Mother of All Acronyms: YMMV. There have been many times when all sorts of interesting acronyms appear to have taken place for the reviewer that did not for a...ahem, subsequent visitor. There are probably multiple reasons for this and that's fine, but it makes the review fairly useless in much the same way. For me, as another poster suggested, the reviews help confirm a few logistical issues (photos accurate, nice incall, good communication) that are much, much more important to me to know than if any European countries were represented. And, it is just one piece of the puzzle along with P411 info, EB, PMs with TOB folks (oh geez, more acronyms...)

[snip] There are probably ways to "de-criminalize" the hobby that don't involve legalizing it. Adjusting enforcement priorities & penalties for the various kinds of sex work done. Public vs private place, underage vs legal age, drugs involved or what have you. Will it happen? Unlikely, but ten years ago would we have predicted legalized pot? Black president? Hostess Twinkies out of business....wait, what?
