How did you find the "hobby"?

[BuxomBrown]

Sometimes, when I'm all alone and bored to death, I wonder how everyone found their way into the hobby....
I'll start with my story:

I was living alone, single, bored all the time. I didn't have a boyfriend and I really wanted to have sex. I was sex-starved!

I got a wild hair up my ass, and looked on craigslist, under the Casual Encounters section but didn't find what I was looking for. Somehow, I ventured south to the infamous Adult services section. I read through the articles and before I knew it, I posted a really vague ad. Now that I look back on it, I'm surprised that anyone responded. I didn't have a picture, and I wasn't saying much. This ad led me to one of the most infamous hobbiest in San Antonio! (You got lucky! I lowballed myself.)
Well, the next night I posted another ad and luckily for me, I was found by a gentleman who invited me over and told me that I would have a great time on aspd. A few days later he introduced me to some of the well-knowns during happy hour at a strip club across from Northstar mall.
I received provider status, and the rest of the story is still being written.

Who's next?

My story is simple... As Maxwell would say...I've got this Bad Habit! I started out on adultfriendfinder...after meeting a couple of stalkers I needed something intoxicating without the drama. While searching a few of the links on adultfriendfinder I stumbled upon aspd/eccie....and it's been great and drama free!

Same as you Buxom, single and horny. Went onto BP and found Layla (see my first review) and that's what got me started in this. I later got P411 access and it made seeing new ladies a whole lot easier.

"I'm surprised that anyone responded. I didn't have a picture, and I wasn't saying much. This ad led me to one of the most infamous hobbiest in San Antonio! (You got lucky! I lowballed myself.)"

I know that you dont kiss and tell, BuxomBrown, but my money is on latinalover.

I grew up in a tough blue collar town outside Pittsburgh called McKeesport - famous for its professional strange. I dont think they called it a hobby back on Brick Alley or on Walnut Street back then. It was a blue collar town and everyone was too busy making bomb casings to drop on Viet Nam to have a hobby. Back then, the "hobby" was like being gay - it didnt have a name.

Just made economic sense to me. I could blow $15 ($14.50 if date got in trunk) on a condom from the gas station, Burger Chef and a Shaft movie at the Greater Pittsburgh Drive In, with a civvie that wouldnt stop talkiing, hoping to get lucky. Or I could for sure get lucky, and have my pick, from the pros in front of Walnut Dave's Inn down the street and then go hang out with my friends. You do the math.

Long story short, it was all around me. From before I understood what it was.

Fast forward from the back of that 1962 Rambler American 220 convertible (red, with white top, three on tree, vacuum wipers that stopped working going up hills) to the 21st century. We have picture phones like on the Jetsons, and the tacos are all shaved. Pittsburgh remains one of the most active "hobbying" areas. And here in SA, some of the pillars of the "hobbying" community are from PGH area.

Go figure.

They dont make them like this anymore (thank God):

I was bored, horny and single and struck out at picking up a lady that week. So I looked on the Craigslist Erotic Services section (when it still existed) and found reference to ASPD. I checked it out, joined and then called a sweet woman, who would later become my ATF, named Pepper Springfield who used to advertise on CL and ASPD. Needless to say, I was very satisfied and hooked from then on!

[latinalover]

im sooooooo glad you ran that add on craigslist!!!! LMAO

damm the mammories. i can verify she was horny!!! lol

[PaganGuy]

Was lookin for some extra fun on CL when I first moved here and hadn't started working yet (wifes job relocated us and gave us a decent bonus to cushion the transition). Was bored as hell and looking for some NSA with the usual 1 real reply for every hundred fakes you get from 'casual encounters'. Had a couple mention a 'donation' and with growing frustration finally considered it and met my first provider, the infamous Mslovebjs1968. The rest is history.

I was looking for airsoft stuff and I took a wrong turn in Albuquerque.

[flinde]

I knew it. latinalover you dirty dog, that was a safe guess.

I'm wondering, are the puffies and trimmed fur in your avatar pic available for rental to 55 year old white guys? I guess I'm not really that white - I'm more pink and red. I hope that puffies gal doesnt have a NEA policy (no English Americans).

PaganGuy, my recent civilian CL ad that worked so great, (see sandbox), I'm gonna copyrite it of course. But you can use it once for a small fee. Cash. Small, unmarked coins.

Started out using ANE up in the Dallas area. Had been perusing the ads for some time, but finally made a couple of calls. The one that got my attention went by the name of "Allie"...about 5'2, Italian-Hispanic mix, black hair cut in a bob. Super cute, friendly and oh so very sexy. I saw her one night and then about two weeks later I saw her again. She became my ATF for the next year or two until she got out of the business and left town.

I continued hobbying over a few years, using back page ads from underground papers. A Provider called "Essence" here in San Antonio told me about ASPD, so I checked it out and joined. Eventually found out about P411 and joined there. Transitioned to Eccie. Things on the board tend to be easier since you can collect more information, make a better fit when meeting someone.

It's a crazy world...

[PaganGuy]

flinde, you a playa bro. Actually I did get one to work recently. Lady lives far away but sometimes stays in SA on business.. hooked up twice now which has kept me sane.. and divorced ladies with no time to date whos exs couldnt DATY to save their asses and have been surviving on battery powered toys for a couple years are very appreciative and willing to do just about anything.
Just like needles in haystacks to find.

[Longshot]

I blame Tiger Woods for my current ECCIE/P411 predicament.

News report....Tiger bangs hot pornstar/escort....so I'm bored sitting in Baghdad...start Googling her name....leads me to TER....leads me to ECCIE...leads me to P411.

Awesome...thanks Tiger!

Was looking for information on strip clubs. Found ASPD link, and was hooked from there.

Oh yes, I remember Italia dancing. She was awesome to look at. The Grotto room, I remember having great times in there too.
