How you started, and the rest is history.

Not sure if this has been done before but I’m curious about how others started in this hobby. Things such as your first time and what kind of SP, any transitions ( ex: started HS and transitioned to FS.) Just the more monumental times.

Here’s mine for an example:

Personally before I ever heard of PERB, I ended up at an AMP for my first time. After that initial time I went back to that same AMP two other times (all 3 in the same week). My first ever session was a massage and body slide. That was my introduction. After that I didn’t go anywhere for quite a few months.

Then I found PERB, where I started reading reviews, and instead of carrying on with AMP’s I just went to independent Asian massage SP’s ( not sure if that’s the right terminology and not sure if those are still considered AMP’s but I stopped going to storefront ones.) I think I crossed all the names off the list of one PERB members massage review “best aunties through my tough times.”

So it’s pretty much been that up to the present with some long breaks in between. I have only done HS, never transitioned to FS.

30 years ago, there was a bustling street scene in downtown Vancouver. Helmecken and Davie. Beautiful women, I would have car dates. A number of my friends would as well, but never together, everyone individually. A friend at the time also introduced me to massage parlours as well.
One day, I was looking up a lady I knew, I heard she was working the scene, and I had been told of her 'stage name'. That's how I came across PERB.

Saw hoes along Pendrell/Davie/Jarvis as a kid in the 60s, and was intrigued by the forbidden fruit. I even talked to them when I rode my bicycle down to Stanley Park. So from the start I thought of them as people, unlike a lot of perberts who see them only as love sockets.

Way back in the 80s, stroll in front of the hotel Georgia in Vancouver. Gorgeous blonde, think she charged $160? No kissing, no daty,no nothing. Just climb on and pump the juice out in a back street in my truck

Thanks for sharing. Interesting to hear the stories of some of the seasoned veterans.

Ok, before you start reading this you should know that I'm 60 this year. So read this in your best Grampa Simpson voice.

Well sonny, when I was starting out we didn't have no internet, or smart phones. We had to make do with the Yellow Pages and Adult Classified sections of the newspaper.

Advertisers were sorted alphabetically and very few potential clients would ever work their way through to the end of an alphabetical list so agencies had catchy names like AAAAAAAAAAA Escorts. When I was a young lad in my early 20's I'd sometimes go on short business trips, so when checking into a motel I'd often find a bible and a copy of the yellow pages in the drawer. Out of curiosity I'd sometimes look through the Escort Section of the yellow pages (some hotels would actually tear out these pages), and ponder on what it would be like to arrange an escort for myself.

I finally pulled the plug on a trip to Nashville in 1988. I think I stayed in the Holiday Inn, and their Escort yellow pages had not been ripped out. So I called AAAAAAAAAAA Escorts and talked to a pimp who assured me that all their girls were pretty and would show me a good time. That was literally all I knew about the girl who was about to show up at my door. Her name was Amanda, and she turned out to be all right. She was blonde with shoulder length curly hair and a nice southern belle accent. She was probably mid 30's but in pretty good shape.

Sex was without a condom (surprising in hindsight considering this was during the aids epidemic), and she asked me to do anal (my first and only time). Afterwards she asked if I'd like to extend the booking to all night for only $2500. That was more than one month salary for me so it was a hard no for me, and we parted ways.

If I told you what age I started, that would get some providers in trouble 🤫

You don’t have to tell what age and where exactly, just how you got started out, such as general type of place (Amp, escort, agency etc.), whether FS or HS, and then any transitions in the hobby, such as HS to FS and anything like that.

When I lived in Ontario, I started by going on Quest Chat (telephone meetup site), where many ladies would be advertising. You would connect up on the phone site and chat live to set up a face to face date, either at her place or a car date. I'd stop by on the way home from work for a little, um, relaxation time. The first time was pretty nerve wracking, feeling like everyone knew where I was going as I walked down the street to her place. It was also a big letdown (no kissing, no touching, doggy only), and it took me a while to narrow down what I was looking for, and to know what to ask for, so that the quality of the meeting was better.

In the red light district of Hamburg. The was lots of beer and bullshit. A bet was made and next thing I know I’m naked strapped to a rack with a monster of a woman who physically and mentally demolished me for an hour. I giggle occasionally because some things just make me laugh. She didn’t like that. That morning on return to base and a shower it was abundantly apparent that I was full of bruises.
All in good fun, she let me cum on the biggest tits I’ve ever seen in person, her idea… it was a win/ win as I recall it.

I know that feeling you speak of about thinking the people around us knowing what we’re doing even though most likely it is irrational and it’s probably the furthest thing from most other peoples minds unless of course it’s another guy who just finished an appointment.

Having said that, whenever I drive by or am in an area of an Amp or something like that, I’m always taking glances over to the entrance curious to see what other kinds of guys besides myself go to these places. So maybe someone is watching.

I used to live in the same building as this popular provider. lots of people in the building knew what she did. You could always tell which guys were there to see her by the way they anxiously and nervously waited outside the building waiting for the buzzer number, it was pretty funny to see not gonna lie, even though I have been that guy many of times haha

My impression of sex work was of a world of mechanical sex, no conversation, no foreplay, no cuddling etc. (which is still true in many cases but I believed it to be the only aspect of this lifestyle). Thus began my quest of finding SPs with whom the experience would be like a date followed by other naughty things, subject to chemistry, hygiene and comfort. I soon found out that such SPs actually existed.

My initial experiences were quite good with local Winnipeg SPs--exactly as I had imagined. In fact, on the first two dates I didn't go for the full service. I wanted to ease myself into it. The ladies were friendly and intuitive. I had a few unpleasant experiences; consequently, I discovered review boards. Since then I have stuck to well-reviewed companions or those connected to my regulars.

The last few years have been the most memorable years of this lifestyle.

Thanks for sharing.

I suppose I've known about the hobby since my senior year in high school, but only got into it after COVID died down (late 2022-ish).

My introduction to sex work here in Van city was of course; strip clubs and Asian massages parlors (AMPs). Btw referencing an above comment, I knew dudes in high school who went to AMPs and even booked escorts, but all of them were Mainland Chinese guys + all of them were 19+. Apparently AMPs culture is stronger in China and HK than over here. Personally I never did anything myself back then, because of the negative stigma I had at the time and also I was a broke high school student and I had GF then.

During college I was friends with a few people that did this hobby and they suggested I check out Perb for any information I needed. Still I didn't do anything because I was too busy finishing my degree. Fast forwards to 2022, I'm in Montreal and I'm suppose to meet with a friend I haven't seen in a few years. We were gonna hang out a few times during my stay, but the the day before I flew, he had a changed of plans and he couldn't meet me the next day. So what is a young man gonna do in Montreal, well I book a escort for the next day. It was a spur of the moment decision and the rest is history.

Thanks for sharing ( interesting about the 19+ Chinese high school students)

So now days since you went to the escort in Montreal, are you sticking strictly to escorts or do you still go to AMPs, or a bit of both?

I've never visited an AMPs. It's not really my thing.
Mostly just stick to SPs.

 

[Poontalk Saint]

By the way it would be interesting to hear from some of the frequent escort reviewers or even massage reviewers that I’ve read many reviews from and how you got started in the hobby if you don’t mind. Maybe you got bigger fish to fry since you seem like busy guys, but a little note would be appreciated @Bobert1969 @Pornholio @John Aston @pervypervison @VinVan @white Ninja 74

Oh, I misunderstood your first sentence in paragraph 2.

I heard about rub & tugs for years and I eventually got curious, and then it became a fantasy just to try. That was my gateway drug that transitioned me into full on debauchery serveral times a week.

OK Back in the mid 80s I found a nice young (about 10 yrs younger than me) on the DTES. about every 2 weeks I would take her out for dinner, then go and park somewhere. I moved out of Province and that stopped it. 2015 The wifey had gone through menopause. Not interested any more. I did some searching online.. Found CL and Perb. First lady on my list was Cherry|Soda. Well reviewed and just what I needed. Not looked back since.

I was also captivated by the rub and tug idea, often gravitating to those kind of videos whenever I would watch porn, and wouldn’t you know that’s where I ended up.
