Hear me out.
I’ve been with numerous providers who didn’t speak English at all. Maybe just one or two standard phrases—definitely not enough to sustain a full conversation. And honestly, that has its own charm too.
The biggest caveat is that you’re forced to use a translation app, which isn’t very convenient. Suddenly you’re glued to your phone, and it feels bizarre scrolling on a screen instead of kissing or connecting with the provider. I’ve gone through that countless times. My former SB was from Paraguay—she spoke a little English, but we still relied heavily on Google Translate. From when I was just another client (I still was/am, no matter what—but that’s can be discussed in different post) to when we were out in public, we always had the phone between us. That’s the huge downside of seeing a provider who doesn’t speak English.
But there’s also an upside: it can make the encounter feel more “level.” You don’t know the provider, she doesn’t know you—just two strangers sharing an experience without the crutch of conversation.
Overall, I’d say not speaking the same language isn’t a big deal if it’s just a one-and-done session. But if the client–provider relationship evolves, then it’s worth making a pros-and-cons list.
Do you prefer seeing providers who speak English?
