Asian Fever

Still a tiny bit nervous about pooning—what's your secret?

I know—all those macho pooners here, with nerves of steel…

My own nervousness now is VERY mild, compared to the past. But there're times even now when edgy nerves make me give up on an intended poon, sometimes after driving all the way to the location.

It’s as if my nervousness plays a game of emotional seesaw with my sexuality: it’s hard to predict when one will outweigh the other. In fact, it’s often precisely my sense of sexual urgency that makes me feel needy and insecure, which reinforces my nervousness.

What are some plausible sources of pooner nervousness?

1. Fear that this might be one of those disastrous encounters with a stone-cold, antagonistic, rush-rush SP who completely wastes my money.

2. Displaced tensions floating over from other arenas of my life, like job stress, women troubles, money or health concerns and so forth.

3. Performance anxiety where part of my mind worries if Tantalizer is up to producing that solid erection for the condom to stay on.

4. Possibly, hardwired anxiety programmed into us during evolutionary history when most males who tried to get inside a woman for the first time were at risk of being hacked to pieces by jealous rivals or protective family members?

Some forms of pooning are more taxing on my nerves than others. AMPs make me least edgy because I can just go whenever the right mood strikes, and I can count on an Asian SP loving me for ending her tedious wait for a client.

Whenever the connecting process is complex or prolonged—as in the case of Indys—my nerves are more likely to to act up and shift my mood to such an extent that, when the time for consummation comes, I don't feel the way I did when I made the appointment.

I suspect that's why some pooners are no-shows (not me). Some are no doubt far more nervous than I—especially if this hobby puts their family life at risk. But I’m sure many can honestly say, "I'm not nervous." Should I envy them?

Perhaps not. I think if there weren’t a little anxiety mixed in there might be less excitement too. Conquering nervousness always adds to the catharsis of a pooning experience for me.

Do SPs ever get nervous too? I suspect they do, with a new client—especially if he looks like Mr. Grizzly Bear, or it’s an outcall situation to a place other than an upscale hotel.

Excitement versus nervousness

In all honesty, I think they are both the same physiological response, and simply a different way of interpreting them. Taken one step further, it would be anxiety....but I think the chemical response is the same - it is how you choose to view them that differs.

Arranging for a tryst with one of the fine independent escorts vancouver has to offer likely leads to more ruminating over the experience for a longer period. Your mind has time to go into overdrive and you start questioning the flutters.

If the anxiety you feel is impacting your enjoyment of a liaison, then it may be a good idea to stick to shorter notice engagments - whether at an MP or with an independent companion.

Angel, what percentage of clients would you say have performance anxiety? And how many of them can you overcome the anxiety?

1. If you stick with the SP's that have been reviewed favorably...you should be ok. But if you're willing to TOFTT....you never know, you might luck out and find a hidden jem.
2. That's the reason that you're there man! Get rid of those tensions.
3. If you're seeing one of the ladies that have the best reviews around here..I'll be surprised if you have to worry about that. If it happens, it happens though and being a guy, you can't avoid it. Don't think about it though, it'll only make it worse.
4. If anything we're hardwired to climb aboard as many women as we can....it's a matter of trying to repopulate the world baby. I think the anxiety you might be talking about is the worry of someone you know finding out and judging you.
The no-show thing...well I can't understand that because I've never done it. If I couldn't make it, I'd call. The girls hate it, for many reasons so just don't.
Anyways, go for it and have fun...that's what this sport is all about.

Quality, not quantity.
Comfort.

I thinks its all a matter of being comfortable. Talk to an SP. Make a few calls, whether or not its a well reviewed SP or not, I think chemistry can be some what determained on the way you talk to one another. As a few questions, get a few answers and tell them that you need a little attraction to get a little action!

Perfect response, and what you will definitely miss out on if you only go micro or mp -- no opportunity to talk with the person that you are planning to spend time with!! Also, cut out the msog for a while and definitely see an sp who does a nice massage to start. It sounds like you need some unwinding time -- that and talking to the sp that you are planning to see can reduce or eliminate all anxious moments, and replace them with happy anticipation flutters lol.

Exactly what FO said...go for the rub and tug, as it's way more relaxing and it'll get you in the mood...if it's just a rub and tug, you don't have to worry about such things as whether your staying hard enough or even to get it up.

Just relax into the rub...breathe and it'll be ok....and go to a real massage type thing, with the tug at the end. You'll feel great, and it won't eat your money.

Just go for a massage

If you have a lot of anxiety over hooking up with an SP...start slow. Go for a massage with release the first couple of times, then work-up to a massage and blow then the full meal. Read reviews, and go with a trusted name, that has been reviewed and approved by several people - with at least a couple being long-standing members. Don't believe people who have 6 posts etc...

Most of the asians from overseas see sex as no big deal, and this should help reduce your anxiety.

I am new but I am nervous everytime, just to different degree's. I am most nervous about LE, don't know if that is paraniod or not, lol
I am nervous they are psycho. I am nervous that they are dirty and their cock won't taste good, and if they are good looking or my age I get nervous to! :-S

I am a bit surprised Tantalizeme, your confession of nervousness seems a little out of character for you. You seemed like a man so totally in tune with your sexuality that anxiety would not be a problem. But I do understand the butterflies and anticipation leading to a sense of uneasiness. My drive is usually about 3 hours so there is no chance in giving up.

I have learned to embrace the nerves because as you say it can enhance the experience. Part of my fantasy is that I am a naïve and inexperienced lover that needs the expertise of a special woman to bring out that level of passion hidden within me. I often find a better level of understanding with most SP’s when they can sense my awkwardness and make more of an effort to ease my tension. I have been doing this a long time but still find myself acting out a nervous shyness to feed my need for affirmation. I have never worried about my erection but do sometimes fear my competence. After an initial meeting my confidence is always higher, but the first time I am usually less than stellar. I tend to focus on the massage and foreplay knowing the act itself will likely be short and sweet. But it also gives me a sense of what a girl is capable of. Once I know a lady is into a good, sweaty romp my eagerness to please outweighs any worries I might have.

I have never had a disastrous encounter. I can find a silver lining in any situation. Just getting to see and feel a woman up close and naked is still a thrill for me. In the event of a less than satisfying session I usually chalk it up to my own inadequacies. Or just simply that there was no connection. I don’t think the SP is a bad provider, but more the combination of us both resulting in a lack of attraction. It happens sometimes, I can’t put blame on her only. Truth be told…I doubt if I would want to fuck me either. Probably why I am always grateful despite the outcome. I love working girls, what makes me the most fearful is that I will fall too hard and become too needy. I have certainly been guilty of that! Accepting the fact intimacy and emotions are not necessarily reciprocated has been very helpful for me in overcoming the anxieties of this lifestyle. It’s better to just have fun.

The one thing that I can't seem to overcome is the nervousness over catching an STD from pooning. I don't know if I am willing to accept the risk of diving in to the same pool as thousands(?) of pooners.
I don't get that. I have been doing this for nearly 25 years and I have never caught anything, nothing! not even a cold.
1 time, just once in my whole life I took a girl home from a bar and bam!

I think a thousand pooners wearing condoms is still better odds than 10 who don't. SP's are the safest in my mind, they have to be for their own.

well you can't over think it. I was the same for the longest time. One day I decided that no matter how much I read from others, no matter how much I prepare myself, you can never be fully prepared and 100% sure it's going to be a positive experience. Maybe like 90% :)

So for better or for worse, I decided I couldn't prepare myself anymore than I could and picked one and dove in and didn't get a great experience.

Oh well, no big deal. What I found was that sure it wasn't a great experience but I did it and I was able to move on with less hesitation after that.

If you're really so concerned about wasting money then maybe it's because you can't afford it and really shouldn't do it. In my eyes, this "hobby" is a bit of waste of money anyways since you can do all of it with a SO, however, this 'hobby' is different from a SO. :)

I still haven't crossed the barrier of going for FS with an SP yet though! Mainly because for FS it seems like a mutual thing and I don't think I can perform my end of the deal (that is, giving her a good time ;)).

I get pretty nervous about this too actually

even calling the studio makes me really nervous ... lol

for me its mostly everything leading up to the meeting that makes me nervous ... like running into someone I know maybe, or having to lie about where I'm going to ppl I know .... most of it probly stems from worry about being judged since I don't admit socially that I'm doing this... I'm really not sure though.

.... but once I actually get in the room and everything is cool ... then I'm okay .. then its nothing....

I also find no matter how stressful (as much as it sucks) the nervousness probably makes the sessions better for me

Before I'm heading out tonight to enjoy the miracle of yet another carnal liaison, a quick thank you to all the wonderful people who took the time to respond to my little "confession of nervousness."

Hey HB40—thanks for the compliment. But I don't think a few pre-encounter jitters necessarily mean someone isn’t in touch with their sexuality. Sexual contact always stirs up a variety of emotions in me, apart from delicious lust.

for me its mostly everything leading up to the meeting that makes me nervous ...most of it probly stems from worry about being judged since I don't admit socially that I'm doing this
Good point, WedgeX. If buying sex were socially as acceptable as buying a cup of coffee (which, to my mind, it should be) I’m sure many of us wouldn't have all these butterflies in the stomach. But then, there wouldn't be the pleasure of transgressing taboos and tasting forbidden fruit.

I still haven't crossed the barrier of going for FS with an SP yet though! Mainly because for FS it seems like a mutual thing and I don't think I can perform my end of the deal (that is, giving her a good time ;)).
Wow, Arrrg—a juicy tidbit, especially from someone who has written several articulate and courageously critical reviews... Not sure, though, why you're so concerned about "giving her a good time." I mean, SPs do this for a living, most are totally non-judgmental about men’s need for physical release, and I don't think they expect a great deal of mutuality as long as they only get your business (though of course it's always nice if we can please them too).

And I really appreciate Lady Companion, melissa.in.abby & Beautiful Anna, for sharing your perspectives. Your responses are resonant with empathy for us men fumbling to get our desires satisfied.

Posts like these make me want to see you ladies... though I'll honestly confess, even if it gets me into trouble, that the thought of giving free reign to my lustful feelings with someone down-to-earth like Beautiful Anna makes me feel less nervous than with someone who projects the image of an ethereal glamour model like Lady Companion.:)

But you ladies have such a soothing way with words, I already feel friendship toward you. Thanks for sharing that you get nervous too, sometimes; about quite a lot of things...

The only thing I get nervous about seeing an SP even if she's well-reviewed are if expectations are set too high, and I'm disappointed because the looks, attitude and service are not as advertised. There's minor annoying thoughts that stick in the back of my mind, like getting caught entering a MP by someone I know, performance, walking into a mugging or a ripoff, or LE kicks the door down.

I used to be extremely nervous when seeing a sp for the first time, especially a well-reviewed one. I was always worried that I would say the wrong thing, or act inconsiderate or obnoxious, or otherwise make the lady uncomfortable. Then I had an epiphany, what if the lady felt as nervous if not more so? I mean at least we as clients, (the ones who do our homework, that is) at least know what the sp generally looks like, while the lady has absolutely NO idea what we look like. What if he doesn't like the way my body looks? What if I screw up and hurt him? What if the guy turns out to be a creepy stalker, or even worse physically abusive? These are just a small sample of the concerns a SP has in seeing a client for the first time. Once I came to that realization, my nervousness was quickly replaced with excitement, and it also allowed me to be more at ease.

i remember way back when i started pooning, i had sweaty palms and cold feet, sometimes my legs would be shaking too but now it has become a habit. i even spice it up a little by getting drunk or high before seeing one.

I'm not nervous about the play I'm more nervous that they get the right impression of me. This is because i want the lady i'm seeing to be comfortable with me and I with them. I'm more concerned about the generalchemistry than about anything specific because I don't want to be out $$$ and get nothing out of it and on the flip side, I don't want to waste her time with a client who doesn't enjoy themselves. The way I get over nervoussness is to remember that we're all humans and there's a decent chance they're nervous, too. This is supposed to be fun. Stop frontin', be yourself and have fun (that goes for both sides of the coin). :)
