but also my first sexual encounter, even though it was only a rub and tug for $40 back in 1974.

But I enjoyed it enough to go back for more.

Hi,

..In this profession!! I was up all last night due to insomnia, so I read my first reviews!! OMG I was such a rookie!! How did your first sessions go hobbyists ? Were some of you as nervous as I, or did it just come naturally to you?

My first time in the hobby !!!

Scared shitless. Had no idea what TER was thus no idea who I was going so see.
I was sure I was getting robbed, and possibly my ass kicked.
So, like an idiot I ring the bell and go up.
A huge sigh of relief once I get in. Phew! I'm still alive!

Now that I am inside, I start to freeze up. I barely remember to put down the donation.
Now I basically make every mistake a newbie can make!
Where to start...
I asked her how old she was. She didn't like that.
She gave me a body rub. The lotion bottle was almost empty.
So I offer to help. I squirt the fucking lotion all over the place!
I can hear her thinking "Good Lord. What an ass."
The damn lotion was everywhere!
I could tell she was getting annoyed.
Oh I forgot! Before anything started, there was a problem with my info.
There was a letter missing from my name. She called me on it.
I set my account up wrong. I was sweating!
So where was I?
The fucking lotion...
It got everywhere! It could not have tasted very good. So the BJ was pretty short.
What is odd. I went down on her. Could swear I made her jizz, but who knows.
So now it's time to try to have sex. Try being the operative word here.
I bought these new condoms I never heard of, which were too small.
The damn thing crushed my pecker into submission. WTF! I am usually harder than Trig!
This girl was truly a pro, and was still able to make me cum.
It was a sad, and pathetic display on my part.
Eh. You live, you learn.
This is life.

i booked my first with a with a well known porn star..figured i would start at the top and work my way down..literally..

I was planning on having mine soon but I'm getting cold feet. This isn't a hobby I want to join long-term-- at least that's not the plan-- but I guess you could say now that I've managed to come in to some money after a really lonely academic life of solitude and constant study, I'd like to have at least one completely crazy self-indulgent memory to look back on. I really like all kinds of women, but I've gotten a slight case of yellow fever-- I imagine it's probably because the few women I ever saw around over the years were Asian. I happened to come across a fairly high-end Korean provider listed here which really got my attention. She is pretty expensive, but is easily one of the most attractive women I've seen around here, so I was willing to put the money in for her company.

You know though, a lot of the rules seem to be different when you're talking about Asian escorts. Or at least, it's harder because they sort of have the excuse of possibly not speaking English well. She was reviewed rather well here a number of times, but despite that, I keep getting red flags that are creeping me out! Well, and as I've searched for more information to kind of make myself feel more comfortable about it, I keep finding more things that make it worse!

Here are a few of these things that immediately come to mind:
- I emailed her-- not like an idiot of course-- asking about whether she would be comfortable seeing someone unverified. She responded to me that she wasn't verified too, so it was O.K. That struck me as odd though... how can a girl with so much repeat business not be verified? I'm sure it sounds hypocritical, but I became skeptical about her after that.
- This girl has been listed as available for both incall and outcall, but she seems to be exclusively outcall now. Having to take out a hotel room invites a whole range of potential problems for me. Even if she was completely legit, how can I take out a room for a single night as a single guy and NOT have the hotel staff incredibly suspicious when some obviously foreign 10/10 model girl comes in and asks to come to my room? Then what after, do I just abandon the hotel room?
- Her site references TER and has a banner saying that it was reviewed, yet when you click the banner, it literally brings you to a page on TER providing the html for pasting the banner on to their page. It looks like she might have just pasted it on without having to go through any sort of review process-- especially since I didn't find her site listed here.
- Her profile and site indicate that she is independent now, but her older reviews indicate that she was part of an agency that got busted not so long ago. It makes me suspicious if someone might just be masquerading as her to lure in some hobbyists. There are a few more recent reviews, but I have some doubts even about that (you'll see why in a bit).
- Her site and all photos I've found of her (which appear to originate from that site) are very revealing and don't leave much to the imagination, but ultimately, she is technically covered up in all of them. I've been reading around that providers who don't show at least one topless/nude photo are questionable.

That's just about her though. Then I read stuff about hotel etiquette, and all of these busts for both incall/outcall. Hell, then I even find some articles talking about how TER is overrun with LE making busts by setting up false profiles with false reviews. All in all, it makes a paranoid first-timer pretty terrified.

Logically speaking, I think I must be overreacting-- I've met people in the past who hobbied and the internet is in no shortage of content related to it, so people must be successfully managing to pull it off. This place wouldn't exist otherwise. That said, at least some of those points are objectively concerning. Making it worse, I even actually booked a room before I became aware of all of this. There's just so much uncertainty and risk! How do you guys manage to cope with this?!

This is before TER and before the internet.  I'm in college and found her ad through a newspaper.

It wasn't bad, and it wasn't good.  I felt pretty guilty after that, but I got over that pretty quickly.

and expensive at a legal brothel in Pahrump then progressed to cheaper options.  More fun with the danger!
