I have seen your posts on here and thought I might reach out to somone who would know.

I am new here. I am very interested meeting some providers in my area. My main concern is if the provider has any diesase that I could contract from here. I have asked a few and one was honest with me and the other never responded back..
Is is okay to ask? or should I say is that not something ppl do? I certainly dont want to offend anyone but it helps to knwo what i'm willing to do in the visit. Please help with any advise

I, personally, think there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking. Many providers even advertise their disease free status. I think there should be a space for that information in their showcase. By the way, good question and now I am curious to learn what others think.

I say ask if you want, but dont expect a honest answer. If a provider does have a disease, I dont believe she would be giving out that info, if she wants to stay in business. Also, I believe that the provider would be offended if you asked. Thats just my opinion for what its worth. Ranch

One would hope that a real provider makes certain they are disease free and gets tested but using protection is a must when I venture into the game just in case. There are several providers that don't use protection and I make certain to stay away from them at all costs.

All great info and the reality of them being honest about their health is questionable. Which I guess I do underestand that as well. I agree with the need to always have protection. Thanks for the replys

Builderfella,
I understand your concern and agree with the posts above. This hobby is rife with risk. As is life. If you drive a car, you can have a wreck or get arrested for various offenses. If you skydive you can hit the ground too hard and die. No matter what you do, there are risks.
Don't make the mistake of thinking condoms are the panacea to alleviate the health risk in the hobby, They will help protect you but just as seatbelts don't always work in a car accident, condoms are not fool proof. There are things that are just as catch-able with a condom as without. Sometimes even the things that condoms are supposed to protect you from slip by. You just have to protect yourself as well as you can, and hope for the best.
Before you ever take the plunge, you should assess the risk versus reward aspects and be sure this hobby is for you. Once something goes wrong it's too late to decide against it. I actually think that our community is not totally unsafe but I also know there are those who don't protect themselves or others. And thinking a provider would quit if she was diseased or inform you truthfully is very naive, Ask all you want, you would not usually get a truthful answer if something was wrong. When it gets right down to it, its their livelihood. Some might be honest and others wouldn't.
Don't depend on anyone else here. Make your own choices based on information, your judgement and yes, your gut, If it feels wrong it probably is.
Be cautious, be observant, and if you pursue the beautiful ladies you find here, have a great time!
