I hadn't thought much about it, but a gentlemen just mentioned to me that he thought about it for a couple of years and that really surprised me.

So, from the first time you thought' "Why am I working so hard (or going without) for something that could be so easy?" until you walked into that first visit, how long did you wait?  And was there a particular thing that just pushed you over the edge?

took me a couple years.  there was a lot to think about, since this was going to be new for me.  There was nervousness, some anxiety, etc..  

It depends on the person - but I fall in that same category of waiting before taking the plunge.   I am a lot more aware - but I had a friend who was a provider and she eased me into this.  The one thing that pushed me over was that i was getting really really horny - and wanted a fantasy fulfilled.

from the time I first thought of it as something I might do. I tried everything to get my relationship with my SO back on track, in fact for much longer than the 18 months from the time I thought I'd do this, but eventually I decided that the brick wall won and my head was just getting banged up. I was scared to death as I approached the room, 100% sure that despite my careful research is was all somehow a trap and I was going to be handcuffed and strip searched as soon as I walked in that room...yet I went in anyway. Such is the power of the need for intimacy, or intimacy theater where true intimacy is absent.

About a year, but I didn't take the plunge until my first trip to Las Vegas that same year.  Although, I ended up at one of the legal brothels in Pahrump, NV.  Due to my career back in those days, I never though I would even try P4P, since if I ended up getting caught by LE my career would have been over.  At least the NV brothels were legal, so I was less likely to get into trouble. LOL

Anywho, that was 15 yrs ago and I'm still enjoying the hobby today after discovering TER which was a year or so after I took that first plunge!

it was like a new previously undiscovered world opened up...after just a few weeks of almost nonstop reading I felt safe enough to go for it ... and it's been wonderful so far!  Absolutely incredible.
 

And for awhile I was not VIP. But all those intro pieces got me intrigued. And I thought these guys are getting what I want. Then I paid to read the sizzling stuff. All that time I'm seeing ads for superbly women I wanted to lay.  
The next step was to get my RS2K service and then took the plunge.

I don't think I thought about it more than five minutes if there was any conscious thought at all.

Of course I lost my "hobby cherry' as a drunken 15 year old in a Tijuana stripclub/whorehouse some thirty years before anyone ever thought to call it the "hobby"

Yes, I suppose there was one thing that pushed me over the edge, "opportunity" lol I mean what 15 year old kid with enough balls to hitch hike across the country to get rich in the oil fields is going to turn down a chance to get laid? It was a no brainer to me. I was in a strip club/brothel getting drunk, a chica came up and propositioned me and five minutes and five dollars later I was balls deep in pussy, less than five minutes later I was done. lol

I was at her incall in a couple of days. But before that I was looking for almost six months and not taking the plunge due to the fear of LE

While doing the research for the trip I discovered it was here as well. I focused on the trip and did more research while in Germany. Saw my 1st U.S. escort in Iowa, my next here. Never regretted it

Did you go to the FKK clubs in Germany? They are awesome. Girls in the 9-10 range looks wise for 100 Euros an hour or 50 for half.

then 18 months later, I picked an experienced and highly reviewed MILF while on a business trip.  Haven't looked back....

Enjoyed a few near Frankfort, agencies, and small houses too. brothels I left to the kids, not interested in any of those.

I had been out of seeing escorts for 17 years.  I was of that age before the internet, it was all land lines, print ads, mob run strip joint and a "Health Club" near O'Hare.  I had a Madam named Nicky who I was close to who would sent me girls, too. It was great!  Mob places were swept away by Fed LE and I just quit.  I didn't think about it again until 2009.  I discovered Room Service and TER and it took me about one year and several emails to one specific provider.  I just loved the way she looked.  She seemed a real sweetheart, totally genuine.  I felt a certain connection with her, rolled the dice and WON!  I have been with her only since.  Yes, I'm that guy.

and I was there 25 years before anyone had even thought of the Euro. It was great to be a 17 year old kid surrounded by so much pussy.

About a year after stumbling upon TER. I was a voyeur wondering how dudes got the balls to do this. Ladies too. Finally took the plunge with an Asian agency. The rest is history.

There was this place called California Girls just off campus.   I knew what it was and went in because I was in college and always horny.  That was the start.  I followed them when they moved to the other side of campus.  And then Reno was close by too.  Moving to Chicago I somehow stumbled across TER and I'm off to the races until recently when I got knocked off my horse and now I'm trying to get back on the saddle and go again.

After my divorce I did the brothel's a couple of times......never knew about TER or P411.

I was looking shoot some nude photography and was trolling the web for a model  and stumbled on P411 and TER.  

I was visited by a local provider at my location, so I was not to scared.  

I slowly expanded my horizons from there.  Now I would not go near a brothel...not a good price/value equation.

Between when I started looking into it and took the plunge... about two years. And I finally went for it because I saw somebody I couldn't pass up. No regrets.

Probably years at first when I was looking for love and thought sex had to be part of a relationship. A couple of street girls changed my mind about that.

Escorts? I worked up to it. First porn, then cam girls, then oh crap why the hell not.

I guess the thing keeping me FROM the hobby was not knowing what sites and girls delivered as promised and which could even be Tom Dart type stings.)

not sure when i first started looking but fear of le kept me from it for a while so research research and more research before i finally worked up the nerve first experience was spectacular tho and seen her 4 times in two week s lol

I have been working in the adult world in one way or another since I was 18. But, meeting actually gentlemen this way took me a while. I tried to find other ways to do it, because I was so nervous. But, once I started doing it I couldn't imagine anything else.  

I have had quite a few gents say that they were watching me a while before they reached out, as well. I think it is really sweet and I take it as a huge compliment.

END OF MESSAGE

I was in college when I first heard of "professional escorts", who allowed one-on-one time, and not just posed as your date for corporate events.  I was able to find a civvie to offload my V-card onto, but not much action happened after that.  I kind of forgot about the idea of escorts/providers, "posing as a date only" or otherwise, and only mentioned it as a joke.  

After I graduated college, access to civvies pretty much dried up.  So I revisited the idea of providers.  I stumbled upon TER by accident, did my research, then found RS2K, and the rest is history.  Interestingly, semi-regular provider visits have been tremendously helpful in my civvie dating life.

I was typical college girl needs money for tuition and it didn't take much convincing especially after my first week of working.
15 years later I've traveled the world, have a beautiful home, relaxed life, great education and a good career outside of this business too. No complaints.
