I thought it'd be fun to talk about our first experiences in the hobby ...  
   
 As for me, it all started 14 years ago when I was just 22 years old.  Back in those days, I did get some surprised looks from providers when I walked through the door.  I remember one who told me that I didn't need to pay for play, all I had to do was go to a bar to pick up women.  But as a newcomer to NC, I didn't know many people, and I've never been one who could easily approach random strangers to start a conversation.  
   
 So anyway, one day I was walking down Franklin Street in Chapel Hill when I saw a place called "University Massage".  Curious, I wandered in and had my first experience with FBSM and a happy ending.  That led to me searching the web for more information about body rubs, and from there, it wasn't long before I stumbled upon information about escorts and "the hobby".  
   
 I found the old Innovative Beauties agency that was based in Greensboro and booked my first session with a hot girl named Amanda, who I believe was half-Latina and half-white.  I read up on all of the newbie info and etiquette and was incredibly excited about my date.  
   
 Amanda was just as beautiful as her pictures, and it turned out that she was new to the hobby too.  I was only her third client and the first who wanted full service.  She may have been more nervous than I was, as she accidentally said her real name when she called the agency to let them know that I had arrived.  We quickly relaxed and got comfortable with each other, and since we were both new, it all felt very real and natural.  To me, it was just like a college hookup.  It was a great example of "forgot it was a service".  
   
 I was thrilled with the experience.  Even in college, it took a lot of effort to meet a girl and hook up, but now I had the opportunity to meet beautiful girls on demand whenever I wanted.  It was great!  I went on to meet many of the Innovative Beauties providers and a few independents within a year or two, having mostly very positive experiences.  Sadly, Amanda only stuck around for a couple of months, so I never got to see her again.  I still think about her sometimes and I hope she's living a life full of happiness somewhere.  
   
 Thanks to Amanda, my hobby experience had a great start, and I've continued with it (off and on, with a few long breaks) ever since.  As I've gotten older, it's only gotten better and better!
