Just make sure it isn't a surprise for him. I'd imagine it might be easier for you to arrange this through an agency as I'm not sure how you'd satisfy screening with an indy.

I have no experience with this sort of thing, but I suspect Sin is absolutely correct, screening is gonna be an issue for most reputable providers. All my alternatives are based on the assumption that you live close or can arrange to go with him.

While not your original idea, as an alternative, why not physically take him to an AMP?

Some agencies will take your screening and allow you to bring a guest (assuming you are a regular customer.)

My last suggestion is that since you do have some kiss and tell experiences, why not contact one of the ladies you have previously seen to see if she or one of her friends is interested?

I like the idea given the proviso he is serious, but be careful - I have two civvie friends in whom I have confided I hobby. They love to here the details, but when push comes to shove, they really are not comfortale dipping their own toes in despite what they verbally say.

It wouldn't be a surprise...I would let him know that "a masseuse will be knocking on your soon and will visit for a couple of hours..." and I'm %100 confident that he would love everything about it.

I assumed that there would be some sort of snag and you guys bring up some logical points. I was thinking that I might ask an escort who I'm already acquainted with to visit him. I'm pretty sure that she would trust me, especially after a generous payment in advance. I'm just not sure if she is the best suited to give a gentle, first time massage experience.

Has any escort viewing this post ever been hired as a gift? There must be a way to do this.

SB - the best reccos I get typically come from the providers I know. So, even if the lady you have seen is not best suited for your friend, that still remains a good avenue to check out. No harm in asking.

I like the idea and the gesture. Others may have applicable knowledge of which they are not aware. For instance, I personally have never hired a lady for a bachelor party. However, I would think the process a bit similar. Maybe I am wrong in that, but those that have, might have some input for you.

Wish I could offer more on this topic.

My service has been a gift only once, and in that case the guy who's a regular of mine just brought his friend over to my place.

The friend HAD NO IDEA what was going on... he just knew he was in for a surprise.

I wouldn't have done it if the one organizing it wasn't a good regular client of mine - I would have insisted that he has at least SOME clue of what's going on.

In your case I don't see a problem ... but I know that there really aren't many good indie massage providers. Ask the escort you know...

just give the guy the valuta and a number he will work either work it out, or buy a new laptop which ever he wants more lol

My take on this one is that its a great idea but you'd better make damn sure you know the guy inside out. I have lots of friends but some of them I'm sure would surprise me if I found out what turns them on between the sheets.

Let's play this one out a bit, first of all, the provider you choose should be someone you know well right? OK, so you find a provider you know well and then organize the whole thing with her...great, but you are vouching for the fact that this guy is decent. How do you know he isn't going to turn out being a complete asshole. If he doesn't have any hobbying experience, he won't know the guidelines so maybe he starts asking for things that aren't on the menu etc.... I don't know, I would only do this if it was for a friend who knew his ass from his elbow in the hobby world.

The friend would most defiantely need to be aware of what was going on and he should be made of aware of proper ettiquette between escorts and clients. I tmay not be the surprize you wanted but I suspect that he would still be flattered and besides: it would give him something to look forward to. Just my thoughts.

My advice, DON"T do it! Blind dates rarely work! He will be happier if you walk him through the process and make him feel SAFE, in what he is about to venture into! Safety is of the utmost and more than likely the biggest deturrant of people staying out of the hobby. And, you can help him find a lady that fits HIS likes.

my 1/2 cent worth of advice.
