Reflections On 25 Years As A Hobbyist

I’ve been a hobbyist for a little over 25 years, and was just reflecting on my time as a patron of the industry. While social stigma is still prevalent amongst the uninitiated civilian population, I’ve always felt like I was handed the keys to the kingdom! In fact, almost everyone I’ve had the pleasure of associating with over the years have been some of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my life. Truly above and beyond, in all respects. Here are a few instances I’d like to share with you all:

1) Greg at Select: When I was making my first foray into the world of adult entertainment, websites were just becoming a thing lol. There were no photos, just elegantly written descriptions. I still had trepidations, but decided to bite the bullet and call Select. I spoke with Greg, who spent 20 minutes with me, explaining all the ins and outs (fitting choice of words lol!). I was so impressed that he took the time out of his busy day to do that, I’ve never forgotten it. I became a loyal Select customer for years afterwards.

2) Danny at Executive Choice: I’d called EC before Danny took over, and ended up with a bait and switch. I ended up writing a review, and not too long afterwards, I got a message from Danny who had just assumed control at the time. He apologized for his predecessor’s actions, and offered to let me see a lady free of charge, even though he was completely blameless for what had transpired previously. I thought that was very big of him.

3) One of my favourite regulars offered to take me out for a nice lunch off the clock before our appointment. It was something she didn’t have to do by any means, but did anyway. I thought that was very sweet of her. We had a great time over food and drinks, catching up on old times and relaxing.

4) Once, I booked a new lady with positive reviews for an hour, as I had plans later on that day. To my surprise, she ended up staying for four hours (completely her choice) which made it feel much more like a real date. I definitely was not expecting that!

5) I remember a lot of the socials the ladies and gents attended over the years… good times, a hell of a lot of fun with some networking thrown in for good measure!

It’s been quite the adventure to say the least! I’m fortunate to have a treasure trove of memories that I wouldn’t trade for the world. I’m also still seeing one of my regulars on a monthly basis - 19 years and counting! Feel free to share some of your own experiences if you wish…

19 years a regular?. I thought we covered this and have said no good. But then again there are the exception to the rule. You are one. It's more like a FWB which is very long in todays times.

For the Veterans, is the goal to find a Regular?

Taking your regular SP out for a lunch just to shoot the shit sounds fun. SP or not, having sex with someone on the regular would at least achieve a 'friendship' or 'honesty' level (I think). Truthful banter with a woman is magic.

Anyways, my wife is focused on early-retirement and travelling. I get bored of those conversations, but I feel old chatting with the girls in the office as they're much younger, starting their families, etc. They do not understand any reference to the 80s.

I’d have to say it’s both sides of the coin for me. I continue to see new ladies on a regular basis for the sake of variety, but it’s nice to have that friendship/fwb connection with someone, too. After awhile, the barriers come down and you can have some open, honest conversations as you said. We talk a lot about personal stuff too… families etc.. Most times, ladies will leave the industry after awhile and you end up losing touch, which is unfortunate. While she has since moved on as well, our connection has endured and we will continue to see one another.

My time spent over the years has evolved to seeing a small number of friends for longer appointments. I might pick up takeout and a bottle of wine for lunch together.

For me some of these are getting more like FWB (note - still making the donation) but conversations are about everything and anything.

They don't rent or book an incall anymore choosing rather to see me at their place.

We might check in between seeing each other just to see how things are going in general.

Sure there is still a financial component I am not delusional to think that's not part of it.

I am not at 25 years but close now

There is a financial component to every relationship it seems.

Well said mate - I am not there yet as compared to you all - I have completed 5 years this past Feb and I must say - its been a fkn ride - loving it all - and continue too. Will always have a special place for a few ladies that I have adored and got to know a bit better over the years. Here's to many more and hope to achieve that qtr century mark. One score to go!

Am curious though @drlove - when you started - was this forum around as it is now - I ask because this forum has been extremely beneficial for me personally with insight, reviews of the many beautiful SP's to help guide me in having great sessions and building amazing relationships.

When I first started dabbling, there was what was known as “The Blue Pages On Star Boulevard”, if memory serves me correctly - circa. late 90’s - 2000. I seem to recall that the site morphed into what is now known as Terb. I lurked here for awhile before actually becoming a member. At one point, the site crashed and everyone had to register again in August of 2001. I waited until October to take the plunge, though.

Yup. I was there too. Onstarblvd. There were a couple other forums too, some of which imploded (due to lack of moderation and poor behaviour). It was a cool time tho, with some interesting online interactions with SPs, that for me led to some in personmeetings, some pretty fun, some weird. But weird could be also fun. Lol. Escort agency websites popped up around the same time. Reviews transformed things from a hobbyist POV.
