My Hobby History: Intro and Part 1 (The Pre-Internet Years)

[TinMan]

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot...I’ve retained a strong preference for bare kitties ever since.

But LE was always a risk. Which I’d why it was always comforting to have an agency you had a track record with. (Although I think I recall in Worthy’s case, the police were just monitoring the phones of the service and sent two gals to masquerade as the girls he ordered.).

At the risk of getting ahead of TinMan’s narrative, I wish I could remember when I started using Usenet a.s.p and a.s.p.d. and TMSL? Bound to have been in the 1990’s, and probably the early 1990’s, but damned if I remember when. Can anyone else put a timeline on that era?

Apparently a.s.p. Was created in August 1995.

This was a dang good read, glad you shared your hobby experience!

I'm enjoying the tales (tails?) as well.. and I like how it hasn't devolved into a "things were so much BETTER in the old days", which I frequently find when people reminisce, and only remember what was good.

I never heard of the 121/Preston joints until I signed up here.. never heard of that Asian Kennedale trailer until just now.

[TinMan]

I knew about the trailer, but I never visited. Kennedale PD was notorious for raiding that place during their war to rid the city of such sin.

[Prolongus]

Things were definitely not better back then, Chung. It was real work trying to find even a semi-hot chick to bang. Anyone remember The Observer classifieds? I tried 5 times, scored once with a chick I wouldn’t fuck if she paid me now.

I had to drive a few times a day, work-related on NW Hwy / Harry Hines and got “waved at” a few times...some of the SWs were tempting, most definitely not.

Anybody who says it’s “work” to find a hot girl now just isn’t trying hard enough. Thanks for the memories, Tinman.

Edit: If anyone wants an idea what it was like to hobby back then, try doing it without a cell phone, lol.

[snarl]

I'll never forget my start. Back in mid-2007, I spent a LOT of time (mostly unsuccessfully) chasing pussy in the VIP rooms at strip clubs. Early in 2008, I was flipping through channels when I came across a report on MSNBC about sex trafficking and the massage parlor industry. The report mentioned that there were websites that reviewed and scored prostitutes. Such a thought had not ever occurred to me. Google led me to TER...which was where I discovered Infamous BJ, who busted my hobby cherry.


I went through a few Backpage and CL girls (including BJ's roommate...the 2 of them were my first doubles) before discovering ASPD and P411 The second provider I saw was under indictment for DUI, and her incall was littered with empty beer cans. It took me a while to learn my lesson about cross-referencing phone numbers on the review sites. I got bait-and-switched a few times...and I also learned to NOT ignore subtle warnings. One provider was reviewed as "smells bad but has GREAT tits!" Yeah...she had nice tits, but the raging case of bacterial vaginosis made it impossible to stay hard. Fresh out of the shower, I could smell her snatch from across the room. NOT reviewed were the swastikas and SS lightning bolts tattooed all over her mound. I made excuses and took off.


Being (mostly) single, I engaged in some pretty risky behavior. BBFS with some sketchy providers got me the clap a few times, but luckily nothing that couldn't be treated with a course of antibiotics. Appointments in sketchy parts of town at 1am never bothered me, nor was I phased by 2 different providers who partook of illicit substances while I was in the room. Once, while waiting for an appointment to start, I watched the provider get into a screaming match with her mother, who was demanding to know what she was doing checking into a motel room with a strange white dude. As much as I wanted to, I couldn't bring myself to tell her, "Well, ma'am, I'm here to pay your daughter to fuck me." The appointment was delayed by an hour, but was a lot of fun. I had the police come to the door once, during a doubles session with a couple of CL girls. The guy in the room next door got into a fight with someone and the police came out and checked the surrounding rooms.



Once, I hooked up with a provider who had a GIANT tattoo of her infant daughter with a halo and angel wings on her back that said, "Mommy's little angel". Distracting as fuck in doggie. As near as I could tell, her daughter was alive and well, living with her father back in Mississippi...they'd had a fight and she ran to Dallas and took up hooking to pay for her room. She made up with her man after about a month and went back home.



I had a provider once suffer a drug-induced psychotic break after a doubles session. She texted me all night about how I had set her up to be pimped out by (the doubles partner), who had raped her with a hot curling iron and thrown her out of her own apartment naked, and she was going to report me to the police. Last I heard, she had gone to jail for possession and DUI, moved to California to go to rehab, and is now working as a casino dealer in Nevada.


I had a provider's husband burst into the room once because he thought something was wrong...the session was over and we were laughing as we got dressed. She was mortified. They both were providers: I remember that they offered a couples BJ that I never partook of. They'd blindfold the client and take turns blowing him. He had to guess if the mouth was the husband or the wife. Last I heard, they got divorced and she retired.



I had a provider tell me that she used to make illegal suppressors. I had a provider tell me that she could get me LSD and molly. I had another provider tell me that she was a National Guard armorer and that she could get me an M16 trigger group. THAT one is currently an 18-year guest of TDCJ for compelling child prostitution.


I remember before URL security was really understood (or implemented by default). A provider would post ads with IMG links to 3rd party hosting service...I'd chop the filename off the end of the URL and see the rest of the pictures. Photobucket was infamous for this...you could view the whole album if you knew how to manipulate the URL correctly. Once, I snooped the album for a provider's ad and discovered that she was pimped out with another provider, and that their pimp was taking pictures of vehicle license plates.


I remember back in 2009, I blew a significant portion of my Christmas bonus on BabyDoll Snow. She moved to Houston shortly after that to escape a stalker. I regret not seeing her again before she retired.




I've never hobbied without the assistance of the Interwebs. Modern technology makes finding providers pretty easy. I can't imagine how much trouble you old-timers went through to find decent girls back in the day. Nowadays, I mostly play it safe. I hobby only on my lunch break, within range of my office. Sometimes I miss my old cowboy days...but then I remember how much money I blew and it brings me back to reality.

i remember using computers at work in late 1980s thru early 1990s checking out usenet's alt.sex.prostitution.discussio n and alt.sex.graphics.binaries to get pics of naked women. found thumbnailspost.com back then - still have some of those pics! almost got busted once viewing that website in a work conf room w/ the projector still turned on!!!!! thankfully the guy that saw those big tits pics just told me to watch in private.

in 1997, i found aspd (on delphi.com then its own website) after i found a review board for nevada brothels (my first experience was at THE Chicken Ranch in Pahrump, NV - best covered fellatio i've ever received).
then when aspd died, i moved over here in april 2009 (thanks to a recommendation from Fawn), then i joined ourHome2 in apr 2018.

in 2001 or 2002, i joined private connections and was a client until gina closed up shop. soon after she started p411, she granted me a lifetime p411 membership cos i was such a great phrequent phucker at PC :^)

what a long and delites filled trip it's been!!

FWIW, I started in this business in '84 on streets just like Harry Hines and then spent 13 years pounding the pavement pretty much every night. In '97 I opened my first yellow pages agency, which is right when I snagged my first (probably hot) computer and started trying to figure out this thing called the world wide web.

There are some really interesting stories out there, I'm always interested in the paths people have traveled throughout their lives.

Always,
Gina

Being newer to the hobby, it's always interesting reading about experiences before the internet.

We are spoiled to have review sites that make it so easy to find trusted/reliable providers.

Fuck yeah! You paid your dues hitting the tracks for 13 years.

TinMan and others,
Great reads and all bring back memories (Good & Bad).
I look forward to reading more.
ASPD was a definite changer for me as well.
Hobby on and Thanks

[Guest122922]

Very Cool.
Enjoyed reading the memories.
Thinking this could actually make for a good short movie...or ID channel episode?

But really, it's pretty amazing how this profession seems to rally on....no matter what the resources.
BTW things are looking, we may all be back to square one with Big Bro hovering.

ASPD was my beginning and what a great community it was.
LOTS of good times with those folks.
I would never have considered trying this exciting venture if it weren't for ASPD.

Hopefully OH2 & ECCIE will survive for at least a while.
These times are a-changing....

Yeah the old days were tuff, Observer bagepage and back of sports page services , they were all hit and more misses
The internet drove the hobby underground and Out of the public eyes in my opinion but now the war continues just at a different level
