I tried to stop several times and couldn’t. I think I have for good now tho.
I had an incredible amount at risk. I could have lost my job, family, etc but I still risked it.
I could have gotten robbed, mugged, etc. One of my first visits I picked up this 90lb girl named Penny. She thought we were going to have a car date. I am a big guy and cant have sex in a car. She ends up taking me to her dealer’s house in a bad part of town. We go down in his disgusting basement and have sex. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
But your estimate is about 40 occurrences over five years. That averages less than once a month. That’s a pretty wimpy “addiction”. Sounds more like “it’s something I like to do sometimes”. I mean, I play golf way more often than that.
Again tho, what makes you distinguish between “recreational heroin abuser” and “active heroin addict” in those hundreds of people you sold heroin to? Regular use =/ addiction.
The most obvious way was the reaction when I told them no, either because I was sold out or that they didn’t have cash and I wouldn’t front them. The users reacted normally, but the addicts universally and completely lost their shit, with the most extreme cases resulting in me being threatened with a weapon or a dirty needle over it.
Also, aldiboronti, I saw your junior mod post and I also completely ignored it, because that’s how I roll. If you have a problem, I recommend that you report it instead of playing junior mod.
Typically I did my “research” at work or in my hotel room if traveling. I would scour the ads, then see what reviews the provider had. Then I would text them. I used a google texting app from my laptop. When I got a text back, the app had this distinctive sound and I would get excited at that sound. You usually had to text back and forth for a bit. Some were more careful about texting. Many of them if you texted anything about money or services, you got blocked. I was good about building up a comfort level with them and could talk more openly.
At the height of my involvement in the hobby, I would spend a lot of time on message boards submitting my own reviews and reading other review.
I was in Seattle a few years back in the downtown area. My hotel was near a needle exchange. I was shocked at the people who went in and out. I would have expected people who looked homeless or otherwise like “addicts.” But the vast majority were everyday people, business people, young mothers, etc. It was very eye-opening.
What do I know about this, really? But, it sure seems like addictive behaviour to me.
Is the reason you were blocked when mentioning money, because they thought it might be law enforcement?
When you arrive at an incall and the girl lets you in, what does the encounter start like? Is there small talk? Do you immediately get shown the shower? Do you immediately get naked? Do you pay up first? Are the girls dressed normally, or dressed “for the job”?
Summarized, what does the encounter look like between the door opening and getting started with sex? I assume all this is on the clock already, right?
Second question. Did you spend any off the clock time with these girls?
She greets you at the door usually wearing lingerie. And probably a hug and a kiss.
Walk in, throw the donation on the dresser, and then excuse yourself to the bathroom so she doesn’t have to count it in front of you. In the bathroom, you’ll probably see a bottle of mouthwash. take the hint.
When you come back out, she goes over her “don’t list”
Some girls were smart, if you asked for their rate they would say things like “$120 donation for my time” or “120 roses” or “any money exchanged is for my time and companionship”. Other girls you could have open conversations about what acts they would do.
Lemme guess, the smart ones were also the ones who always remembered to ask the question “Are you affiliated with any type of law enforcement”? Because if you are a cop and you get asked that, you must answer truthfully. It’s like, the law.
Arrive at her incall, she texts you room number. Enter door and make small talk. Some ask for donation up front but many I saw didn’t. Well respected providers didn’t ask for money up front. Some providers were in street clothes, some in bra/panties some already naked. I always requested lingerie or hot bra panty set.
She might do a LE check. Ask you to get undressed.
Make small talk for a couple minutes. I would slowly undress them and get undressed myself. I did oral only a couple girl. The girls would warm me up with oral. Some were really good and I almost popped after a few minutes.
After I was good and hard, they would put a condom on for sex. I’d come and they would usually clean me up and then I would get dressed.
Most girls didn’t watch the clock. Maybe because if I paid for hh, I usually popped within 15-20 minutes.
I never spent any time off the clock. I knew not to get close to them. One time after seeing a provider, I left and went to Chipotle. She had same idea and was right behind me in line lol
Just so we are all on the same sticky page here, and because this IS The Straight Dope Message Board, dedicated to fighting ignorance for lo these last 45 years, THIS is a hobbyist message board.
That’s very true, but it’s no longer considered canon. Now that we have the Golden Key Comics series giving us some pretty comprehensive bare-back-story, the original concept of “escorts” has been eclipsed to a great degree.
I got asked that question a lot. I am not sure that is the law that they have to tell you. I had a provider tell me LE was getting bolder with stings. Something like undressing totally. I can’t remember what it was exactly but something you wouldn’t expect a LEO to do.
