How Did You Discover Terb?

I can't remember exactly but I created another account years ago.

It's probably long since been deleted and I can't even remember what the handle was.

Searched "Toronto escort", the rest is history

mine was rather recent, last November. Some friends half jokingly said I should see an escort when I mentioned that I was coming up on 7 years of celibacy after my divorce

I laughed but a lightbulb went off and I started looking online. Found Tryst, LL, and something like "Canadian escorts" or something the first day. Looked at some ads, then searched reddit and saw all the guys saying they were being threatened after contacting the numbers in the ads.

That scared me off for a few days but curiosity got the best of me and I went back on LL

I would Google the numbers and I think one of those searched led me to TERB. That opened the floodgates. I was able to search the girls name and last 4 digits and see real reviews

I was able to find the girls that advertise on here and see their websites.

What an eye opener. To me I did not know the difference between Escorts and street level prostitution that you see on TV.

I had no idea there was this whole world operating in the open with professionals and clean incalls and rules and boundaries.

Completely life changing!

People kept contacting me with some offensive deal and saying they saw it on Terb. I had no idea what it was.

I was fed up with all the shitty offers and finally decided to see what people were talking about.

Some asshole showed up to my incall with some bs story about only bringing so much because he wasnt sure of my rates (total bs because I've always been clear)

So basically this guy shows up trying to rip me off. He was my last call before I went on vacation so instead of telling the guy to leave I felt generous and I did it thinking he was genuinely just short and it was an honest mistake (it wasnt, its a common pushy douchebag thing people do) he tells me hes so grateful and is going to tell all of his "friends" about me.

He proceeds to make a review about me and posts the price he ripped me off for.

I was basically harassed for years because of this review until I joined and asked for it to be removed.

I did a douchebag a favor because he lied and took advantage of me and he posted it like I do that all the time and left out how he gave me some sob story trying to manipulate and lie to me.

I remember it clearly because that's the only person I did that for and then I had all these people coming out of the woodwork to ask for the same thing. TERB was honestly the worst thing that ever happened to me until that review was deleted.

That man could have helped my business but instead he dragged me down to his level and ruined my reputation and my business.
You learn pretty quickly not to do anyone any favors because they never stop taking advantage

I cant believe the nerve of that guy. I had all the money I needed that day and to go on vacation. I didnt need his money. The guy just showed up and I honestly felt bad for him. He gave me some pathetic story about being broke. I cant remember what I did but I did it for peanuts because he was already there and he was the first asshole that ever pulled that crap.

I learned pretty quickly that it was a common scam and if people dont show up with ALL the money they need to GTFO.

Ad on Backpage, around 2007 or 2008 if I'm not mistaken

It was a natural progression from the Blue Board for me. Massage Parlors -> Leo -> Blue Board -> TERB -> Agencies -> Indies -> This message

I’ve always been intrigued by the adult industry, and at some point during the late 90’s I came across the Blue Pages on Star Boulevard, hosted by Fred Zed, if I remember correctly. Back then, it was a simple all text site which would later morph into what we now know as Terb. It was an interesting time as the advent of the internet really expanded the reach of adult entertainment. At one point, it was simply the yellow pages phone book, and suddenly we now had dedicated websites! Pretty cutting edge, although it took awhile before photos were common place.

Had another account originally. Was told about it by a dancer I was dating. She also told me about Canbest as well. Hope this gives some vets an idea of how long I have known about the site.

I discovered the hobby because I was searching for a legit massage and learned about erotic massage parlours. Then I started googling those places and found this place.

Decided to see a provider for the first time in Montreal, was googling escorts and montreal and a site called indycompanion came up and looked up some girls and some said they had reviews on merb and from there I found out about terb and perb.

I keep forgetting the name of Fred Zed's pre- -ERB boards. Thought it was a funnier name, but maybe it was Blue. There were some other boards, Big Doggie, etc., on which I was also active. As I recall, Fred called me once to discuss an issue with another, sillier board that had a fight with Blue, or whatever Fred's old board was. Fred, of course, died in, as I recall, 2017, and there was a family issue over who took over.

I had been active pre- any websites on the alt.sex.prostitution news group with 300 baud dialups and was one of the first to use GFE, which meant a real connection for the hour, not any specific sex acts.

After the websites started, I believe the first trip was to the Philippines, then to Montreal. But then, for many years, mostly to Victoria, BC, and by then Fred's perb. This included the incalls in Saanach before the sheriff suggested they move to Victoria, where one large agency had a big incall on the major downtown street. Police visited occasionally, but only to ensure escorts had their current licenses and were legal in Canada. This was in the days when outcalls were legal but incalls (bawdy houses) were not, and could not make money off the "avils," but Victoria police, like in major cities in Canada today, ignore C36 since it is much safer for all (per major court and then Supreme Court decisions).

Was active for many years in BC until I found Toronto with the addition of great nude-reverse massage (mostly Allure) and the Sauga strip clubs. Few strip clubs in BC due to restrictive rules, which were called ABC, now LCBO rules. Number 5 Orange in Vancouver got around it by going up the stairs to a separate hotel room connected to the strip club. I think I visited Vancouver before finding more great escorts in Victoria. Lots of gals since major all-girls schools (colleges?) in Victoria.

But today their costs are comparable to Toronto, and Toronto has many more options I enjoy besides just escorts. For the last about 25 years, it's Toronto I've been going to in the Summer when we get over 110F in Phoenix!

Have to agree with you, Dave - Toronto is like a Mecca! I still hobby locally of course, but T.O. has been my destination of choice since I started. I also love the city itself and the people in general; I’ve never had a negative encounter or interaction here… it’s been fantastic. Everything is so vibrant - always something to go and do whether it’s fine dining, shopping or the theatre. I guess in a sense, Toronto has always felt like ‘home’ to me.

Many years ago I was seeing a sp regularly from backpage. After one session she asked "are you on terb?" She was fishing for a positive review. I jokingly said "turd?" She didn't get the joke, it went over her (non native) head then she said forget about it.
When I got home I searched it and wow I was amazed! A website dedicated to hobbying with reviews and everything! I love reading reviews about what happens behind closed doors and all the details. From then till now I find it to be the most interesting reading and visit this site daily. The reviews helped me discover escort agencies which i knew nothing about. From there the rest is history just using agencies.
Don't forget...
Keep on pounding!

I think I was googling strip clubs around the turn of the millennium. I found this place. I briefly had a different, zero post, account but the problem with that account was that it shared a handle I used with a bunch of other forums. I made this account and the rest is history.

Heard about it from a friend & also saw it mentioned on another board (doesn't exist anymore) and signed up to check this site.

. I started in this hobby about 30 years ago when I was a fan of the old Fantasia strip club in Richmond Hill. That led to experiences in massage parlours which I stumbled upon accidentally when one opened in the industrial park my business was in. One of the sessions the MPA mentioned Terb and that led me here.
