5 years. I started in 2017. I said I was just going to try it once, but that didn't work out lol.

I used to live in a small town in PA.. Went to a big PA College that is well known for its Football. LOL..  

 
Started out in AMP in 2002 soon as I turned 21.  Then moved to DC Metro area after graduation for work and continued hobbying. That's when I found TER.  My profile was created in 2004.  If you old timers remember ASPD.NET, some dude on there recommended me TER as a better source of reviews.

... in 1982. I was 19 years old and was in Vegas.  Walking up the Strip at 2:00 am and a white El Dorado pulls up on me.    

 
I've learned a lot since then.

But I didn’t discover TER until around 2000.

First discovered this fun in 2005. Nervous as hell the first time !

I’m not nearly as active as I once was.

13 1/2 years and counting.

Unless you include the fact that my baby sitter used to give me massages.

 
Then, around 1957.

The first provider I saw and reviewed (have reviewed her at least 5 more times since) in 2008 is someone I still see to this day.

First experience in the hobby a month or so prior though was at an AMP that a coworker introduced me to on the edge of Georgetown. Standard HJ happy ending that resulted in half the load landing in her hair. She was a good sport about it and mentioned “Something About Mary”, and we had a good laugh when I started saying “Franks and beans”.

Hi Ms Queen,  
Your throw out message intrigued me. So I took the bait and responding. First of all I did a quick casual glance at your reviews - only one “8” in the first ten reviews so what was my point in going forward?!  You definitely have credentials - ok - enough said. Yeah, i’ve been down with a wanna be relationship and having the virus but have recovered from both.
Anyway you look extraordinary and I see you’re out of San Diego - one of my favorite jazz groups - Fattburger - yes, the spelling is correct was a famous jazz group from SD. Sadly several members of this incredible group of musicians have passed. My favorite tunes - “Sizzling”, Just Got Lucky” and “I’ll Be There For You”. Used to play this group on my radio time back in Memphis. In the meantime stay safe and beautiful.  
BTW - been down for a minute but soon to recover. gf60

Been around for quite some time..

As an agency lady in Vegas for many years. And an independent since 2010
Total been around 17yrs  
My only regret is not being an independent provider sooner.

I'm amazed it's been that long

5 years

I was a sugar baby before this and I was tired of all the negotiating, negging and manipulation that came with it. These "sugar daddies" wanted to spend as much time as they could with me for A while couple hundred dollars a week. It was so insulting.

Then I started escorting in 2017 and I never looked back. There was no hassle, no negging, no manipulation. Just gents who wanted to see me and have a nice time. I took 3 years off to finish my degree in design and came right back to escorting cause I really missed it. Being a provider is like a sexy little secret

My first time was when a friend brought me to an AMP near Pittsburgh.  I honestly can't remember when it was.  Probably early 2000s, but could have been anywhere from the late '90s through the mid-2000s!?!?!  It was an eventual experience.  I was a little drunk and having trouble getting hard, so the provider scolded me and told me to not come with a limp dick next time.  I asked to upgrade to a BJ, thinking that might help.   She told me it would be extra, which surprised me because back then I didn't know the business model.  I'd been nervous going into the AMP and had brought just the minimum cash inside with me, leaving my wallet in the car.  I told her I needed to go back outside to get my wallet, and she exploded in anger, telling me that was against the rules.  The combination of my inexperience and inebriation left me very confused.

After that I went years without seeing another provider.  I'd considered that a one-time lark.  But in the summer 2007 I decided to look into escorts.  I started with Eros.  I don't remember how I stumbled across TER.  My first post here on TER was in the spring of 2008, so I must have discovered TER within 6 months or so of being mongering.  The friend who'd taken me to the AMP pointed me to another side (a popular forum) to see reviews and learn about the terminology and etiquette, but I didn't post much, if at all, there.  

I get excited fantasizing about your fond memories those were different times it’s evolved dramatically. Hello to all the old & new souls that posted a response. I greatly appreciate your candor. Smile for me!

You name the venue, I have probably experienced it! Massage Parlors, Strip Clubs, Escort Services (Yellow Page Ads), Craigslist, Creative Loafing, TER Babes, and Now mostly P411 ladies.  Only area I have stayed away from are the Street Walkers!  In between my mongering, I have had a few long term serious relationships. When I was in a committed relationship, I never strayed!

AMP in North Myrtle Beach - I was so clueless

although I nearly saw a window girl in Amsterdam in 1973.  

But too little money as I was backpacking around Europe.
