Hobby for Dummies (A few tips from a newbie to other newbies)

I'm a newbie in this city, but not so new in the hobby.
So it's just my 2 cents to this amazing forum.

Please, feel free to share your experience or even correct something.

Everyone wants to chill, preferably avoiding problems.

Basics:
- Read the reviews. Forums are the best source of information to find a provider that fits with your search and also to avoid scams, traps, LEO etc.

- Learn the vocabulary: https://jamirodman.com/sex-industry-...s-terminology/

- AMP (Asian Massage Parlor) is the easiest way to get a happy ending. But you need to read the forums to discover which one can offer it and which level of service. (L1, L2, L3)

- 2024 is an election year. So, IMO, avoid these AMPs these days (or at least be more careful). I love massage. But you can see several news stories about LEO running into them.

- Be careful with scammers. Never make an early deposit. IF she's a well-known provider, there are some exceptions, like if she's travelling, it's an overnight or something else like an Outcall.

- Avoid newbie providers without reviews. The best choices are known providers with a lot of reviews.

- ALWAYS check if the provider has reviews and where she's publishing her ads. Bedpage, AdultSearch and ListCrawler have a LOT of Fakes!

- If the provider has only 1 review, and this review is from some newbie monger with just 1 review. Probably it's a scam. Wait for reviews from the well-known members.

- Ladies have to answer hundreds of msgs. So, be objective! In the first msg, be polite and tell your handle, references, duration and date/time of the session you are planning.

- Avoid talking about activities and $$$ before the screening process will avoid ladies ghosting you.

- Normally you already know about activities that she can perform just reading the ad and reviews. If there is a specific one, just ask after screening. If there is an extra etc.

- If you're a newbie without references and they ask for your ID, make sure to put your finger above the DL number, surname and address.

- Use a burn phone and don't share your personal data. I use P411 to avoid screening with everyone every time that I want to schedule something.

- To get a P411, start with a newbie friendly provider and then move to another one using the first as reference, and then subscribe in P411 using both as your references. (Make sure that both have an active P411 profile there before schedule with them)

- There are plenty of well-known providers that are newbie friendly announcing in OH2/Tryst/Eros. Probably they might not be the type of ladies you prefer to meet. But you only need 2-3 vouchers to get verified. It will be worth after it !

- I usually rather places with a safe parking lot, preferred gated. So ladies with upper scale places are my goals.

- Always pay in cash! Electronic payments make paper trails. (Specially to married hobbyists)

- Always take a shower before and try to use mouthwashes. Ladies will be more friendly if you do this. We love them fresh and clean, they also love clean clients. Safe and Hygiene always in the first place.

- After the mission, check your belongings, cellphone, car keys, wallet, and cards.

Extreme:
- I avoid bringing all cards (credit, memberships etc) in my wallet. Less is better. Just to minimize the damage in case of a trap.

- Once inside her place, make sure to lock the door behind you. Put your stuff in a visible place and a towel or your shirt above everything.

- If you take a shower, get your belongings to the bathroom. So, if you lose something, you will be sure that it was lost somewhere else and the lady doesn't have anything to do with this.

- Bring extra condoms (or the one of your preference). Just in case the lady tells you that she had only 1.

- Your own survival kit: hairbrush, deodorant, soap, toothpaste etc. (I know a guy that bring his own towel)

The most important: HAVE FUN and enjoy these beautiful angels that share their kindness with us.

Enjoy the sensation. Think about everything and try to write a review about your experience.
The forum's essence is to share knowledge to help other mongers keeping everybody safe and happy.
Read the rules about writing reviews and don't share the provider contact details (phone/address) if it's not in her ad.

Again, this is just my opinion, not a guide of what you can or cannot do with your money.
Hobbying around the world or other cities can vary a lot.
Sorry for any misguidance and even if a lot of this can appear obvious for some of you, but I hope that some can be one bright spot for others.

Please share in this topic anything that can help other newbies.

Take care and enjoy hobbying!

What does the acronym TCB mean? Still can't figure that one out.

Taking Care of Business. Such as answering calls, returning texts, actually being ready for appointments ON TIME.. etc.
