Just wondering how many guys out there are married.
I am and at the age of 49, I had my first TS interest and encounter. I'm also getting ready for a visit to TS Angelica.
I still enjoy heterosexual women very much but have found a new dark side to myself and enjoying it very much.
Any other guys in the same boat?

I am married, 33 y.o.

I also have had one experience and enjoyed it. Will I do another? There are the moral/ethical/legal questions to consider. FWIW my provider said that most of her clients are married.

I don't know how often I can partake of this hobby and not feel bad about spending the money.

I think a demographic survey would be facinating to do in this dicussion group. Just general Age, marital status, income, race, location ranges.

I'm with you, MW11.  I'm single and tend to hobby only when I'm not dating someone, although I'll admit to the occasional indiscretion as well as the re-commencement of sessions during the pre-break up phase.

My 100% anecdotal, non-scientific research suggests the married-guy rate is higher for tgirls than GGs.  I know for myself, if I've got a girlfriend, my tgirl/gg escort ratio goes up...I've got pussy at home, so i use escorts for more walk-on-the-wild-side stuff.

I guess I'm part of the single guy minority. Always straight, if insanely promiscuous,  I first got into TG's when I saw a photo of Sulka in Hustler and got a boner. Simple as that. It was mostly the photography, but the desire for kink never went away. Then when I found they cost 1/2 what a GG cost, well, twenty years later, the thrill continues. Over the years I've learned no generalities apply with regard to looks, attitudes, sexuality, value, GFE, the whole 9 yards -- every TG is as unique as every GG.  Prices have gone up, but generally I'd say a beautiful TG still costs 60% of an equally appealing GG -- now realize that a 'beautiful TG', without her special kinky package might only be an 'attractive GG' -- but that's a whole different conversation. One in which Mistresses and strap-ons would play a key role! Kink on, boys. but PLAY SAFE.

For the record Im divorced. Speaking of old film stars, I remember seeing "Stasha" on video boxcovers and being fascinated!!

I think the blonde you were referring to had to be Shannon.  She was a knockout.  Regrettably, she went post-op, then became "just another girl".  She committed suicide afterwards.

Another blonde out there was Angelique Ricard, she appeared with Vanessa Del Rio in "Viva Vanessa Undresser" (1984).  She too went post-op.

Christy was another '80s-era blonde looker.

Not married; never been close to it. I'm in my mid 40s, but am often told I look between 30 and 35 fwiw ... I can't believe I'm actually pushing half a century.Where did the time go ? Hee-hee!

The first time I noticed a TS was in a magazine at an adult bookstore sometime in the early or mid 80s. The magazine rack was near the video section so I stopped perusing for the latest Jenna Fine (she's the only name I can remember from the 80s) video and mustered up the courage to take a peek inside to see what was in there. It was a pictorial of two TS beauties on their knees giving some lucky guy a hummer. I later found the attractive TS to be a girl by the name of Pasha, who is still available on some old compilation videos,and frequently seen in galleries in many TS websites today.

Fast forward to about three years ago, and I find myself working temporarily with a TS for a week, only I didn't know she was a TS. We got along very well and as a parting gesture at the end of the week, I wrote her a very nice note telling her to call me if she was interested in getting together. She said she would, but I never received a call. About three weeks after working with her, a woman who I had met at her workplace came by to simply ask me if I knew about her "secret". I said "no", and then she proceeded to tell me that the woman I had met and knew as "Deborah" was born a man. My guess is that this TS woman sent the other women out to see my reaction, or to see if I would follow up now that I knew of her secret. I was floored by the news, but it did make me start to question what I would have done had we went out on a date and then have her reveal her secret. Like I said, I was floored by the news, but at the same time very excited by the whole thing. ... I dunno ?

Well, after that experience, I started visiting the video stores with only TS videos in mind to rent, along with renting them through Excalibur Films via the mail (They dropped renting TS videos about three years ago for some reason ?). I have now bought about 20 of them and will probably continue to do so. Oh, and I'm only attracted to women with cocks, NOT men with tits -- THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE HERE, as the two are completely totally different beings. I just happen to prefer the former.

I'm still a virgin to the third sex, but with a tax refund coming shortly, my first time might be only weeks away. I'll probably go to Las Vegas, LA or Orange County for my first experience. Right now my short list consists of Prisila of OC, Cassandra from LA, or Celeste from Las Vegas, but that list can certainly change based on their availability at the time, or another pretty girl capturing my attention. Any thoughts on my choices ?

My only question at this point is will I ever go back to GGs should I have a great time ?

Stasha was also a looker.  Sadly, Stasha fell victim to cancer ten years  ago.

Thanks for cheering me up, DD. I've always wanted to see what she was all about given her reputation for her appearance. I heard she had one terrific body.

...Who's Angelique Ricard ?

Stasha was probably the most feminine TS i EVER met face-to-face. It would be no exageration in any way to say she was a "beautiful woman" and nobody would ever know different. She wasn't functional, but she was sweet soft sexy and, yes, she escorted here in l.a. in the 80's before her untimely death. She made several videos including "Almost a Woman" (I think the currently-hot Dany Evangelista might have a video with same name out there now.). Shannon, I believe, was English and I don't know what sad conclusion her life might have come to. Angelique Picard was perhaps my alltime fave, though I never got the opportunity to meet her, she is ALL over the internet, mostly as "Suzy", including an infamous matchup with Tom Byron WAY back in the day. So TS beauty has been around quite awhile, just not quite so upfront as it is now...So, enjoy, but, as always: PLAY SAFE.

Man, I can't believe the history some of you guys have.  I'm 40 and just discovered this tgirl thing two years ago - actually got the classic tranny surprise in brasil and it converted me.

Am I the only one who picked this up in mid-life?

Well, if you read my experience to this point upstream, mine also started around the turning of 40 -- maybe it's a new kind of mid life crisis, huh ?
While some men's sexual identity and curiosity are conservatively locked for life as they chase 20 something GGs while driving the latest sports car, you and I are in the nascent stage of possibly discovering a whole new beautiful world that exists out there. Maybe we are simply tired of the genetic type and simply just want something more. If, as some say, an educated man never graduates, then likewise, can't it also be said that a sexually curious and adventurous person can never be satiated with the mundane?

By the way, I can never seem to get on the SER forum because of password problems supposedly. Can anyone provide a link to their forum, or do they require one be a member first ? Thanks!

46/MM/LA...geez I feel like I'm in a chat room. Been curious since the 80's and a participant for 10 years. I haven't seen too many GG providers for the same reason-that straight sex was always available even when I was single.
When I was young I never thought I would stray. I never thought I would pay for it. I always thought that I could walk away from my promiscuous lifestyle. I was wrong on all three counts. I want to hear from you single guys after 15+ years of marriage. I used to have alot of relationships, even after I was married, but things always got complicated. I never wanted to change my status but forever is a long time especially for someone so active.
To coin a Frank Sinatra quote, "You don't pay a woman for sex. You pay her to leave when it is over." It is just alot less complicated.

SER has been having technical difficulties as of late. Hang tight.

Lets hear from you single guts after you've been married ti the same women for 25 years. Sex with the same lady for that long just gets boring no matter how hot she is or tries.
Man was not made to be monogamous.

I've got a computer that's basically a dinosaur, so I can never tell whether it's my computer -- and its outdated programs -- not allowing me to get through there, or just a case of a fledging website not feeding their famished hampsters that keep it running. I'll keep trying with them, though. Thanks again, Sylynce!

By the way, is this the best TS forum out there ? I enjoy the Hungangels TS forum because of all the great pictures members post and the fact that html allows for more creative wiggle room in one's post, but there is just something amiss there that I just can't put my finger on just yet. It's just not as folksy as it appears to be in here. I can ask a question here and generally get a response. There, it seems as though they don't take to kindly to newbies asking questions or making points ... (sigh) I dunno ?

I'm actually starting to enjoy my time here as I become more familiar with the posters -- many who are hobbiests -- and their substantive experiences and caveats, but I can't help wonder if there are other TS forums out there with something to offer also ?

Upgraded this year, new HD, new windows op system(XP).New motherboard.All I kept was my CD and DVD.
I ll say this for whats missing.JUST my opinion so no attacks please. I think this board should have an auto update feature that allows a subject created to go to the top of the list.Sometimes I find myself going back 8 pages respondind to things.

Hopefully, I will get a new system within the next few months.This horse and buggy just doesn't cut it anymore.
I agree with you about an update feature. It does get tiring at times hunting down certain threads, so we don't bother to respond thinking people aren't likely to read them anyway.

since we are on the subject...and a very fascinating subject it is.  Does anyone know what happened to Jennifer Thomas?   Remember her from the SM Encounter 35mm series, some with Sharon Mitchell.  I met Mitch once and asked but Mitch said didn't know who I was talking about.  How can someone not remember their only TS scene?  Dead porn star link attached.

Anyone with documented Shannon proof would be appreciated.  I remember her famous spread topping a thin guy at a jogging trail
