How Did We End Up Here?

This isn't an existential question on the meaning of life, but more of a consideration of what brought each of us, on both sides of the transaction, into this hobby. For many, this might be too personal an area for discussion, but I'm certain there are some with good stories to tell. I'll start with my own, although I can't guarantee it will be good.

Turn your time machine back to... well farther than I'd like to admit, and you will see a fresh-faced, slightly awkward 18 year old virgin, away from home for the first time. The location, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands and I'm accompanied by a rather homely young man with naturally reddish orange hair, let's call him Tom. Tom wanted to visit one of the local "Lady's Places", i.e. brothels, so I agreed to accompany him and loan him the money for his excursion. Along the way, we consumed a significant amount of beer. The first establishment we visited, we couldn't get anyone to give us the time of day, so we wandered off looking for another. The "Lady's Places" were set up as bars, with a backroom, very low rent. The second one we walked into, I was attacked by a woman wearing silver pants. I don't recall much else about her, except she wanted nothing to do with Tom. After some negotiation she agreed to give us each a roll for $40 total, but she refused to have anything to do with Tom, unless I was part of the deal and went first. Afterwards, I remember being disgusted, ashamed and confused. Not the wonderful experience I had hoped for. To make matters worse, while nursing a hangover on the beach the next day, a man tried to pick me up, and got in one quick grope before I realized he wasn't just enjoying the conversation.

Fast forward 10 years, I'm happily married to my second wife (the first was a disaster), with limited sexual experience. The area where I worked, mostly at night, had become flooded with street walkers, and I felt the urge to give one a try. I tried, I believe twice, not satisfying at all, so I decided that was enough. Then the local electronic Bullletin Boards (precursor to publicly available internet) became popular and I immersed myself in the online world. I had found my niche, lonely women were throwing themselves at me and I began making up for my lack of experience. Eventually, I left my wife for a major mistake of a woman, the ensuing debacle left me useless for almost a year.

Jump ahead another 10 years, bypassing several relationships, lots of dating and lots of internet pickups, all over the states. I had become a slut, at one point sleeping with 7 women in 6 different states in 10 days. In addition, I had several outcall experiences, only one which I repeated with and only one that was a truly satisfying experience. I even visited one of Nevada's legal brothels (not the Moonlight Bunny Ranch), nothing to write home about. The problem wasn't the SPs, it was me. I was still stuck in the wife, 2 kids, dog, white picket fence, house in the suburbs mentality, so any sex that didn't feel like part of something bigger just didn't mean as much to me. Some of the pickups were mind-blowing, typically the ones that lasted a long weekend, but overall I was left unfulfilled.

Add another decade or so, and we get to current times. During that time I spent several years as a swinger, had some great experiences with my partner and learned to enjoy sex just for the sex. A few years ago I checked out a local Asian MP, had two visits and both were incredible. Tried a different AMP and was disappointed. Now the problem was no longer me, the second MPA was just yuck. Too old, too much really bad plastic surgery and too much "this costs $10 and that costs $20 and the other costs $40". Took a break from that, tried the dating scene one last time, and then gave up. Too much of jumping through hoops just to get to a point where something might develop, and then find out the woman is lousy in bed. If you want something done right, hire an expert.

With my recent work change, requiring frequent trips to Mississauga, I decided to check out the scene I had heard so much about. My budget isn't such that I can enjoy as often as I would like, but it does give me a few opportunities. So far that has been limited to one MPA and one SP. Here in the states, any SP or MPA visit carries risks. It might be a LE setup, or LE might bust in during the session, or it might be a setup robbery. That's a worry I don't have in the GTA, especially if I make use of the Terb community. I look forward to increasing my experience in this hobby over the coming months and years.

By no means a complete life history, but it gives some idea of how I ended up here. I hope to hear your story.

This section is for escort reviews, not reviews of your life. I'm with daboy on this one...really, REALLY don't care.

Speak for yourselves. I find it interesting. Wrong section tho.
Likewise. It's good to step back and check out how you got from point A to point B every once in a while. Definitely had me thinking of that today!

Probably a topic more suited for the lounge though.

Thanks for sharing!

You're right probably best suited for the lounge. I had thought that the people in this section would be more specific to the subject, since I really wasn't addressing the general public, just the SP hobbyists.

And for daboy and demien25: All you needed to do was read the first two sentences, something that should take only a few seconds. That, plus the fact the title mentioned nothing about a review, should have been enough to realize, it wasn't anything you would be interested in. I'm flattered that, even though you really, really don't care, or "need this shit", you not only took the time to read all the way through and then show your appreciation by commenting. Thank you.

Sounds like you're at confession jjbee or just kicking your own ass. It's good to step back as shinji said, but don't get caught up in the past. Your vivid description kind of tells me that you're stuck there for whatever reason. Enjoy the present and the hobby for you cannot change the past.

Quite often some and same guys surf around here to give people free advises: this is not supposed to be in this section blah blah blah... and the end result is bumping the thread to the top :confused:. For what it's worth in your mind, let it be then if it has no merit like you think, it will SINK to the bottom of the board in no time, DONE!

@JB: I like to think about the stops along the journey, mine is as long as yours, with all the experiences either bad or good. Those "findings" makes it interesting and memorable, and certainly make me as the person I am today. Without meeting many CV and working ladies in my life, I would still be rigid and sex-starved (in mind) and most likely susceptible to a big fall and fail in real life. From the time going with the street scene to dip into lapdances, massage then escort, I have tried to resist and failed (miserably at times) but then I've learned to understand what it is all about.

Having instant gratifications costs me time, dough, and effort to conceal. It gave me the satisfaction, for a short time only. It also cost me the neutral out-look on the regular activity: seeing a hot and provocative girl gives me "bad" thought (is she a working lady?), seeing an abbreviation sometimes pops the hobby meaning into my mind... Once you are into this, you are twisted. But then as twisted, I am NOT broken, not going into the deep end and do something stupid or crazy like throwing away all I have chasing a young hot flirty one :D. It may still happen, but I am now equipped to NOT starting, to stop in time...

THIS is life, you are what you eat, like they say, I would add: you are what you have done.

I will second that. This new poster is pretty much a fresh air on this board, full of enthusiasm, very articulate, fair and decent. The board needs more of his kind, who is not shy to open his inner self, sharing his opinion, taking a stand on issues, never been boastful, never been afraid of others who might ridicule ... He reminds me of a guy, Oldguyzer2, I do miss his posts :(.

I agree with you!

Hopefully mods can move this to the lounge soon so that we can avoid the needlessly rude posts. A huge part of terb is getting used to the amount of crap you get from people who do not try to contribute, but rather, enjoy criticizing others.

OP was hoping to hear the stories of other men on terb. Why comment on how much you didn't want to read his post? Are honesty and genuine sentiments so distasteful?
No matter where it ends up there will be needlessly rude posts. I've been fairly active online for over 20 years (at first an occupational hazard, now just a hobby) and have heard it all. Often, it is those who have the least to contribute who make the most noise.

I do appreciate the kind words, from all those who have given them, and I appreciate the unkind ones as well. Every negative response is just a bump back to the top.
