First of all: Hi! I've been out of the scene for a while now (and still am off the market)

But I've missed you all, and wanted to see how everyone was, and also reminisce.. I was thinking about how I first got started in this world the other day. My roommate at the time was looking through craigslist and saw an ad for Erotic Masseuses.. and I though, well, why not! I ended up going from Massage to Dancing to Agency Girl to Indy.

How about y'all? Providers and Hobbyists. How'd you first get introduced to this world?

I saw a big booty girl, and I gave her a holler. She gave me them digits and told me to call her. Went home, called her a few hours later. She told me on the phone that she was an escort, and told me that I was gonna have to pay her for her time. At that time, I thought about it, and decided to go for it because I figured I might be spending the equivalent money taking her out and buying a few things just to sleep with her. So, I went for it and tap that ass and never looked back.

She then introduced me to the world of hobbying, told me about internet websites, escorts, and all that other stuff. Some providers will hang around in social events and pick up men, and that's what happened to me. It was never intentionally, it just happened. In the past, I knew about hookers, but, I thought that all hookers were street hookers, and had no idea that you can search them over the internet. I never did searched the escort section. However, I did saw the craiglist escort section, but, I thought it was fake, and I thought that they were actual escorts, and not the escorts we hobbyist want. Yup, I was that naive.

I was doing web searches for escorts in Vegas and discovered they were all over and easy to find.

Since have learned the ex was not a good fuck, and has no oral skill at all. Wasted years.

i got sick and tired of all the bullshit and cat and mouse games in the civie world..now i get to meet some REAL women..

My first time was on a trip to Amsterdam, would go there about three to four times a year. RedLight at first then outcall to my room.

Well, maybe it wasn't that long ago, but it was well before the internet.

I kept noticing enticing ads in the back of the weekly entertainment paper I read, and one day decided:  "Why not?"

Then came massage parlors and finally the internet.

I'm wondering what the future will bring.

Quickly got tired of hanging out in bars trying to score.  Drove into NYC to an area I'd heard had street girls.  Found a nice-looking blonde and got a CBJ in my front seat.  Then I graduated to cathouses.

called the "show of shows" which I had heard rumors about and went with a friend to check it out.  It was basically a strip club with a room in the back with the madame for hanky panky.
It was years before my next experience at the Mustang Ranch outside vegas then some brothels in Australia, Germany and Costa Rica.
A couple years ago I discovered CL and BP and finally TER which has made my hobbying experience much better.

... except I was single. Was outside a porn theatre in NYC around 14th St and a girl approached me. Took me  to some little room and gave me a cbj. Cost maybe 50 bucks. Her name was Cream. Just like inicky I then graduated to cathouses. In fact I passed my main place just the other day. Long turned into something else. The pay phone across the street is gone also.

I had the longest dry spell in a while like 6 months.. Then I realized that there were many wonderful amps in SF. Took one out for a try. Was nervious like hell but I've met one of the hottest Japanese chick there. Then I ended up in east coast and amps here are crap compared to the west. Found ter and decided to go for full providers, and the rest is history!

... then again I saw "Cream" NYCs finest streetwalker!

It was 30 years ago, I was with a couple of other guys who were BFs, so I was on my own most evenings. If you have not been to Rio, let me just say the beaches were full of the most beautiful women I have ever seen - tall, slender, dental floss bikinis. This also was before cosmetic surgery was accepted much in Brazil, so they had lovely, little, natural breasts - my favorite. So I was walking around with an erection all day, and jerking off on my balcony at night.

One of those evenings I wandered into a club with a lot of beautiful women there - turned out to be a place where you pay the ladies to dance. Had done a turn with dance girls in Guadalajara, so I understood that much, but when she started licking my ear, and asking if I wanted something more, hell it would have been rude to say no.

She took me to a bit of a flop house of a hotel, I think the whole adventure with the hotel room might have cost $50 - a total rip off at the time, probably. I was clueless, and this being the early 80s, we each scrubbed up and then went at it BB(!). It was pretty good, and even better I survived with no STD.

Always intended to go back, but it was over 20 years later, and in Paris. Very different, more expensive, less satisfying, but I still intended to do it again. So a couple of years ago I was surfing the web, considering where I might go for some sexual tourism (Israel looked very good to me), and I stumbled across TER. Then I realized I could do it here, no need to go elsewhere, and the rest is history.

My thanks to TER, the community, and most particularly all the lovely ladies who have treated me so well. My only regret is that I waited so long to find this world.

You will put on your head set and it will feed an intense sexual experience directly to your nervous system, so you can experience the whole thing without leaving your home or actually doing anything. It is a logical next step, marryng porn, video games, and internet sex into one sweet package. Yes, there are some hurdles, but given the size of the porn market, the payback will be massive. People are working on the necessary technology, as there are a lot of applications (like artifical vision for the blind, restoring hearing to the deaf and more - all of which require the ability to bypass the normal sensory path and feed the stimuli directly to the brain.).

Of course, it will probably be legal, so we will have the ultimate irony - you can pay to watch people have sex, you can buy equipment to have sex, and you can pay people to share their sexual experiences with you, but you cannot pay a consenting adult to play with you in person. Go figure.

I would stop by the local All Nude Stirp joint on my way home from work....Well there was this extremely Hot blonde that I would see everytime I was there and we got to know each other...Mostly through a series of lap dances
One day I asked her for a Private Dance and she said OK....and told me it will cost $$$ (which was a lot back then)....So nervous as hell I rented a room at the local hotel and we played for an hour.....She was hot and I saw her for a while until I realized that there were lots of women who would give me a Private Dance! Thus a Hobbyist was born!

Marla, I have never done this before.  My reviews are fictional.  In fact, I have never had sex before.  I am very romantic in my inclinations.  I want to be held and have my world rocked by a beautiful, sophisticated woman that loves me deeply upon understanding how special I really am.  Would you help me?  The two of us can run off together to a far away place where no one will find us.  For two hours.  Then, back to reality.  K?

I told her "show me a guy who is NOT getting fucked and sucked at home and I'll show YOU a guy getting it elsewhere."  She actually tells me to bring condoms to sessions. lol

Hi,

It was a good experience!!  A woman once propositioned me on the streets of Chicago!! I was to shy @ the time, I said no!! :o( I tried the yellow pages & Jack Shacks, big disappointment!! I drove down a road in the suburbs near O'Hare where women worked the streets!!  I'm uglier than sin, but the one woman that propositioned me was very old & missing teeth!! I quit that scene!!  The Internet came along, I found TER & the rest, as they say, is history!!!

That someone else is fucking and sucking you...not her. I guess she is just not that into you anymore...sorry but at least she cares enough to advise on condom use.

Maybe she has found someone to satisfy her where you fall short. Show me a woman not getting her needs met at home...she is getting it somewhere else too.

Wish I would have know about TER when I lived in the Chicago area and was hobbying hehe

Back in the mid 80s in DC. I was at a bar downtown and saw a hot hooker on the street. We got to talking and I ended up taking her back to her motel. I saw her a few more times.

I tried Amsterdam's red light district on a trip to Europe and then to a couple trips out to the Chicken Ranch. After I got married and the ex stopped putting out, I was online and ran across an ad for escorts. I was seeing ladies on my own (which was hit or miss) and going to AMPs.

Finally, I ran across an ad for TER one day and my bad provider experiences were minimized. I saw a number of ladies until my ex and I got a divorce...she never knew. I figure that I had sex more with providers than my ex during our marriage. She was a workaholic.

Thanks TER!

I was attending a conference in Las Vegas back in the Fall 2000.  During my pre-trip planning, I stumbled upon some info about the legal Nevada brothels while surfing the internet for things to do in Sin City.  Back then, I had no plans on seeing illegal escorts, since I didn't want to take a chance on ruining my career if I ended up getting involved with LE.  My original plan was to spend my free time gambling and seeing shows, but since the brothels were "legal", it sorta peaked my curiosity.

Anyways, I decided to drive out to Pahrump and visited the Chicken Ranch.  I picked a cute lady out of the lineup of about 8 ladies and the rest is history.  Of course, a couple of years later I discovered the wonderful world of TER and started playing on the "darkside" ...LOL.

I naively was a naked house cleaner and although I never gave any extra's for the $100/hour the guys paid to invite me into their home to clean their already clean home, I realized what a TURN ON it was to have a guy fantasize and get excited from me. (they would jerk off while i cleaned sometimes)

So luckily then I was in a relationship and had somebody to keep up with my VERY HIGH sex drive. Unfortunately after we broke up I was broke and undersexed so I figured...it was time to do something about it. Craigslist seeking arrangements ads answered for awhile, then I tried BP to never return for a year and a half later. I did the bestgfe thing for a little while ONLY and then saw how much a BP girl made.

Luckily I can skip the BP thing now and focus on staying higher end for now

I thought I'd die. Decided to take a trip and find a companion to go with me. Found a place in the Dominican Republic (Charlisangels) and decided to take the plunge. While screwing around with the Ukrainian girls (cured me of them), I met a fellow hobbyist who clued me into TER. The rest is history.

Internet. Called one just to talk. Visited her place and just talked. Then...went back for the real deal.

Back in the day there was a plethora of AMPs in my neighborhood, and I had a dry spell (no civvie GF) and one day I decided to take my nervous ass into one of these joints.  First time I ever been with a Korean gal, at an AMP.  I got hooked pretty easily.

AMPs are like a gateway drug!  LOL

You know, your response is about the same as mines. I always saw the escort sites on craigslist and backpage and I always thought that shit was fake. I used to just right click and save the pictures in my perv file. One day I just happened upon this site and decided to buy a membership. When I saw several girls from backpage being reviewed here I was shocked. I thought that shit was nothing but a set up. I thought it was mostly fat bitches posting model pics and trying to get you to come over to their house.  I went to my first "provider" and it was a bust. That girl wasn't really on my list but when several "providers" kept hanging up the phone on me, I decided to go for something that looked cheap and easy. Failed!!!  Still trying to get the hang of it though..
