Who brings the condums and lube?

[gtx1]

Getting prepared for my first escort experience. Some of the material I've read says the escort will provide . . . others say better bring your own, so which is it? It's not like I can take the extras home!

[Diverdan]

If you are going to do an incall at his place, you should expect that he will provide, but I always have some with me just in case !!! If he is coming to you, you should provide.....

Not sure what you meant by this. In any case, you could/should just ask him.

[josephga]

I think you should bring your own. You might like a different brand of lube or condom brand. As far as safety goes I view that as an individuals responsibility regardless if you are the client or the escort

Bring your own condoms and lube. Better to have too much than not enough.

Not sure what you meant by this.

 

Many clients have a life outside of this 'hobby' and may be married or have a partner at home who doesn't need to find any 'evidences'. That's why the OP says that he can't take the extras home.

 

To respond the OP: it's the responsibility of both the escort and the client to provide/bring condoms and lube.

I'd say be a Boy Scout on this one and be prepared. If your escort is doing an incall at his place, he'll most likely have supplies. You may have a preference for brand, however, and can always keep the "leftovers" under lock and key in your office desk drawer.

Only you can take responsibility for your own health. It is nobody else's responsibility.

 

If he provides, fine. But if you expect them to be used, you are responsible for making sure they are available.

You could buy a small 3-pack of condoms and a small bottle of lube. If you end up not using all the condoms you can either store them somewhere as ChiTown suggests, or just toss them so you're not bringing anything home. I always bring supplies with me whether incall or outcall, but you don't want to leave that to chance and may have your preference for brands as others have mentioned.

I try to always bring some of my own. Usually the escort has supplies too. But there have been multiple times when the escort's supply of lube has been low-- so it's been good that I brought some. Also sometimes the escorts brand of condoms have been too tight for me, and I've used my own supply.

I live alone-- and am not married, don't have a significant other-- so my escort sessions do not involve keeping anything from anyone. I do keep some condoms and lube in a backpack in my car in case I'm meeting someone on the spur of the moment. Once the lube is opened, I usually give the bottle to the escort. The stuff is messy, and I'd hate for the top to come off and have the stuff leak inside my backpack.

Hey Gman! . . . As the old saying goes, "Are you bragging or complaining?" Sorry, man - I just couldn't resist!

[Guest GQ Pro]

I always assume that the client may not have the needed supplies. Of course I always have enough at my place. I do mostly out calls though so I always have a small baggie that have condoms and lube. Lately though I've increased that to a small travel bag. I'm finding that many clients are very interested in toys as well.

ZipLock bags are your friend. When you buy lube, put it in a ZipLock before it's even opened, and you're ready to travel safely. (And you're ready for TSA checkpoints, too!)

Be sure to remind the Same-Gender TSA personnel to use a generous amount of lube during your pat-down

Agreed. Regardless of whether it would be nice of your escort to provide them, or whether it is their responsibility, as an adult, it is up to you to make sure that there will be condoms and lube around. If you can't take them home afterwards, you can just leave them for your escort.

 

Have a great experience! Relax, enjoy, communicate, and remember: it is just sex!

 

Best wishes!

Good point. Much better than throwing them out!

I make sure to have the necessary supplies for action. However, all professional escorts I've ever hired have have shown up with lube, condoms, etc. Only twice, I've had guys arrive unprepared (without necessary supplies) and they were both total duds who clearly were not interested in any activity other than retrieving their money and leaving.

[daviddd49]

I always have lube and condoms with me when I travel; one never knows when one is going to have an "opportunity" for play time, either with someone you meet at a bar or with an Escort. That being said, nearly every professional Escort I have ever hired has brought their own lube and condoms. On rare occasion they've forgotten them, however, so it's always good to have one's own.

[gtx1]

Thanks guys for all the great advice. Excellent suggestions. Here's how I'm handling. I purchased a medium sized bottle of Pjure Bodyglide and added it to my personal supplies for home use. I then filled a small, empty travel sized men's hair gel tube with the lube. Voila - TSA friendly and inconspicuous amongst my personal cosmetics. I took your advice and purchased a couple 3 packs, sealed them in a padded envelope and into my briefcase. (I just hope it's enough - *chuckle* - see my thread on "Who cums first?" in this section)

[Mark Gordon]

Having been a Boy Scout, I try to always "be prepared." As a professional escort, I never leave the house without supplies if I'm available, so that I won't have to go home or go shopping if I get an outcall while I'm out. I have my preferred brands and find silicone based lubes quite unpleasant. Having said that, clients also have their own preferences and often have their own supplies for both in & outcalls. It's not a bad idea just in case and your escort won't mind you leaving any unused portions behind.

I have been following this thread as I have a BIG date with two very hot guys in a midwestern city soon, but... my plane arrives some 4 hours before the encounter, so time will be limited.

 

I usually like to have a full supply of things "on hand" when an escort arrives: mouthwash, new toothbrush(s) and toothpaste, hair gel, clean new comb/brush, body cream, soap for the shower and shampoo, mouth fresheners, lube, condoms, big bottles of water and some juice (and anything else, if I know their likes before hand.

 

With TSA being so picky these days, I found that it is often easier to call my hotel in advance, ask about their policy of packages sent early for me, so that they are at the front desk when I check in. Takes a bundle out of luggage, and takes a lot of the worry of seeking all these items in a town you may not be familiar with.

Wow...what an organized person you are!!

 

That is a really good idea for domestic travel...but a bit harder to do when I am outside the country. If I am traveling outside of the US, I usually go shopping right away when I get into a city to get items that the hotel may not have. Some hotels privide certain things, but they are not always that good. Hilton's seem to opt for poorer quality toiletries, so I am always getting my own.

[adriano46]

Orbital - in Europe I always plan to arrive well ahead of any encounter, and spend a good 3-4 hours scouting around near the hotel for places where I can buy supplies that I would need. My "send-it-ahead" is purely for here in the US.

 

I do try to find information about the city when booking a hotel in Europe (fortunately I speak a half-dozen European languages so can find my around most cities), and I try to locate my hotel in a nice area but with access to the seemier side of things for the speciality shops where you can buy all kinds of condoms, lubes, poppers, toys etc... without any hassle. I once was even able to get some nice sexy jocks, and edible underwear for men.

[Rod Hagen]

Having spent a night with Adriano, I have to add: you should see him shave. Fastest, yet most methodical, shave I've witnessed.

I always have supplies on hand. As an escort, I think it's my responsibilty to do so. If it's an incall, I put all the supplies on the night stand in clear view. If I'm doing an outcall, I have a zip-loc plastic bag that I carry around with me. Usually when I do an outcall, the client has the supplies. However, it's always good to be prepared just in case
