I remember the ads in the various papers, even the Province would have them, along with stripper ads once a week. The tracks were much more active then, and the high track ripoff girls who could make you think you were getting laid when you weren't and taking you for 400 or 500 were always a fun chat when downtown drunk after the clubs closed. Finding ASPD - alt.sex.prostitution.discussion on usenet and then Canbest and the other initial sites online on a 14.4 modem was like heaven and made a lot of the ripoffs easier to expose.
I think you and I were doing the same thing back in the day. Gees alt.sex.prostitution man does that bring back memories.

I am one of possibly a few that have not seen an escort before the internet made it so much easier. Granted, I remember ads in papers...just never called because at the time, I was too young.

Way before I was old enough to poon, in the early to mid 90s, it was not uncommon to see super hot street walkers in tantalizing outfits in and around downtown Victoria. There were always serious hotties out in numbers by, what was then, the new Eaton Centre—especially on Friday and Saturday nights or when a US navy ship was in port.

I remember when the SW stroll was in front of the hotel Vancouver on Georgia street, back in 1981 right around the recession.
That was the oldest hi track I remember, Georgia and a few side streets north of Georgia.
Granville down past the mall and Seymour were sketchy at best, Hastings west of Main was really bad.
Davie was a mix of higher end ladies and drag queens, around Tamblyn’s.
I had a friend who stripped at a place on Davie, was it the Crazy Horse?

Anyone from Ontario remember Erica the Fox? I first saw her ads in Toronto Life (a pretty upscale magazine), probably in the 1970's. Yes, they were very subtle. Reviews in later years on terb made it clear that she was a courtesan of the highest quality. Out of curiosity I googled her, and there she is, still advertising, and claiming to be 51. If I could just remember my terb handle and password I think I would have to look her up on terb.

sensualsixty (Yes, I know I have not seen sixty for a while)

If you can remember your TERB handle at least, send an email to Fred Zed and the password can be reset.

Yes, Government Street definitely had its share.

Hi guys,

I have been wondering about this for quite some time after getting into this hobby but how did you go about contacting an escort before the internet was a thing?
1. I used to drive along Kingsway (Vancouver to Burnaby to New West) and pick up girls standing at certain spots. Those were mostly for car dates and occasionally at motels on Kingsway in Burnaby. I also picked up girls from certain spots on King George Blvd (used to be King George Hwy back then), and had car dates with them.
2. I used to check out ads on Westender, Georgia Straight, Yellow Pages, and some others.
3. My first ever experience with an SP was in Edmonton on Dec. 31, 1999 - the Y2K. Saw three girls on one single day/night at a hotel. It was at a time when cell phones were less common. I did find the very first through a website.

Picking up girls from streets at that time gave me adrenaline rush.

Note: I haven't seen a single SP since January 2020. I will start seeing when I'm comfortable enough with the pandemic. I haven't had sex with my wife, either. Our sex life together has been zero for many years. We love and care for each other, though.

The Penthouse always had really nice ladies who would approach you. Later on Gary Taylor’s as well.
Perfect system since you could check each other out a bit before committing. Also the bouncers kept track of who the ladies left with so it was a bit safer for them.
I was going to mention the Penthouse, but you beat me to it. I spent many a Friday or Saturday night there back in my single days. Sometimes they would take their own initiative and come to your table and sometimes you would need to take the intiative and ask if you could join them at their table, but usually the former. I would classify the girls that worked there somewhere between a street worker and a modern day escort. For the actual date you would need to go their place, which was often within walking distance.

I know I would occassionally go there not wanting to spend money so would purposely arrive at the club with not enough money to pay for a date. And this was BEFORE banks had exernal cash machines. But in the end I remember at least a few occcasions the girl would ask if I had brought a cheque book, and if I had, they would bring me to Joe's office and he would give me cash in exhange for a cheque, with an extra 10% tacked on for his trouble. So much for saving $$$ lol. Though thinking about it now, I have no idea why I did not leave my cheque book at home as well. Probably my subconcious mind saying "You deserve this" lol.

Those were great times. I loved being able to sit and sip a beer while watching the strippers, and at the same time look over the slate of ladies "working" that eveniing, planning whom I might approach that night. Of course if you waited too long, you might lose out to someone that moved quicker than you :) And btw, the strippers were normally never the ladies that were "working" the alternative line of work, if you follow my drift. Though I remember once seeing one of the better know strippers working the street just outside the Penthouse. I picked her up quiick as I could, because she was pretty special and I never imagined I would have the chance to enjoy her intimate company.

In the mid 70s I was walking down Davie by the Tamblyn's and saw a really hot trio, one was a tall blonde with a leopard pattern jacket and hot pants.
Follow them around the corner at Jervis and as I get closer realise they are all talking in guy's voices.
Mind blown...
A minute later some guy drives up and proposition them. I was too far away to hear but an argument broke out and the tall one ended up taking off a huge platform heel and bashing the car with it. They turn around and walk past me and she says to the other two "Thanks for the help girls!"
There were dozens of SWs around that area and all kinds of stuff went on in the alleys around there. We'd go down to Mac's Milk and see ladies doing car dates, couples behind bushes, evenguys getting handjobs just standing on the sidewalk.
The church on Jervis was surrounded by SWs on weekend nights and it was a big issue in the community.
I'd seen everything and was still in my teens.

Hi guys,

i didnt , i always did it with my girlfriends before , but by the time i turned 20 , and moved from france to canada thats when i started to go with hookers , because

iam originally from france , iam french canadian and moved here , and we have neighborhoods filled with escorts and the prices are like 25 dollars for 30 min and 50 dollars for 1

but in canada its different

i asked a good friend of mine , who told me they are called escorts , he brought me to a building off a woman who opened the door for us , it was in surrey , he knew that woman and said they sell pussy in this building i went there

i saw a women who oeneed the door , she left the room and then all of sudden 5 women appear in front of me , and the women said which one are you picking ,i asked how much , they all had the same price , so i went with this fiji women who had a big ass and flat stomach , and then i just kept going therinternet was already a thing , then i just went to leolist or craiglist , the reason why this became a hobby to me was because , you get to fuck a different woman everytime

I didn't move to Vancouver until the mid 80s so did not see the 70's scene you described. Girls were still working the side streets around Jervis when I moved here until the "Shame the Johns" drove the customers and eventually the girls away. They moved to Seymour (were probably already there come to think of it) , and Broadway between Main and Commerical and side streets in that area. During Expo 86 they worked on Quebec as well, to be near the Expo grounds no doubt so as to catch the guys after they left the Expo grounds.

What you described about guys getting hand jobs standing on the sidewalks reminds me of a scene in the HBO series about the sex scene in New York during the 70s. It was a great series, 3 seasons longs, with a total of 25 eps. In one scene, a guy is getting a blow job in a phone booth. Actually the guy is in the phone booth, the girl is outside of the phone booth, on her knees, and she takes the time to say hello to one of the main characters in the series as he walks by lol. The series was called The Deuce, which was the name for the area of New York where the series mostly took place. Definitely worth watching.
