How/why Did You Start With Mongering?

[Wwanderer]

There was no internet then...

To avoid misleading "the kids", note that very early versions of the internet appeared in the late 1960s, and it was widely available and rapidly growing by the early-to-mid 1980s in many industries and subcultures. The web was invented in 1989 and spread rapidly in the 1990s.

The alt.sex.prostitution network newsgroup, the first public Internet forum dedicated to commercial sex issues, was launched in (I think) 1996...or maybe it was 95.

The first indie escorts put up their own websites in the late 1990s in Dallas, I think.

And in France (as hkalone mentioned) we had the glorious Minitel, a wonder of French technology totally unsellable elsewhere but with probably the first chat-sex applications in the world, back in the 80s. I would like to see one again, just for the nostalgia value!
By the way , it looks like a good number of the TAG users sont francais, non?

There were such chats on dialup BBSes as well at that time.

Very true sensei

On a pure historical perspective, there was something called internet in the very early 90s.
There was back then no commercial services (thank you Wikipedia!) on it. I could not access it anyway in 1990, and to be completely honest I'm pretty sure that I have never heard about this network of network thing back then.
At the same time and since early 80s, the French government sponsored heavily a "network" called minitel accessible through a very affordable terminal to everybody. It was using PSTN connection and very low resolution screens. You could order some food from supermarket, play online games, contact escorts, look for people thru dialing books, etc... Thanks to a low price policy on the terminal lease millions of people accessed this network.
A lot of commercial services were available.
What was a fantastic technological advance in France in the eighties turned to be an handicap at the end of the nineties as authorities were reluctant to leave the minitel network and embrass internet.
Hmm... Feeling like we are drifting out of topic...

Yep, the true ancestor of commercial internet and we French are so bad at selling that it never took on anywhere else.... Ah just looking at this very unclassy box gives me sweet memories. I got my "pass" entrance examinations result on it and kissed it as a result! Never used it for sex related stuff though, I was too pure and innocent back then...

I used it heavily for p4p from the age of 18 to 23/24, before switching to internet.
My parents were paying for all my college related costs plus apartment. On the side, I was making quite a lot of money in college making freelance contracts for small businesses and acting as teaching assistant to our IT lab... My parents had no clue but I am pretty sure I was making more money than them on a yearly basis (I was actually making more money than when I had a full time job a few years later). And... as a very wise person I was spending most of it in p4p...

[Frenchy]

Speaking about making money with Minitel back in the days, I love the below excerpt from this article I just read :

Gerome Nox, a veteran male French pop musician, admitted this week to the newspaper Libération that he had in a previous life been "Julie", an "animatrice" or hostess on one of the first Minitel text-sex lines. Few women wanted the work, he said, so most of the "hostesses", paid the equivalent of £2.50 an hour, were men.

"(The clients) were like a shoal of starving piranha fish," he said. "No hello. No polite openings. It was to the point and crude." After a while he realised that "my Julie" had become "disagreeable, wicked and odious". He announced online that he was a man "whose job is to inflate all your phone bills. So you've all been screwed, just like you wanted to be". He was fired the next day.

 

[Wwanderer]

Back when almost no one except geeks were online, most of the nominal "women" were said by many to be gay or bisexual men.

To stay on topic, note that this is NOT why I started mongering!

Great thread guys!Its great reading everyones reasons for starting.

For me, it started 3 years ago. I guess I was in the middle of a mid life crisis or the seven year itch, don't know which. Every attractive woman I came in contact with I was thinking how am I going to get this lady in bed. Which is bad since I did not want to loose everything I had (wife, kids, job). So someone suggested P4P, and at the time I thought they would be toothless, crack fiends. Looking on BP and finding alot of horror stories online, I almost gave up. But I stumbled apon TER and the rest is history.

Don't get me wrong, I have had some bad experiences too. But the good outwieghs the bad. I found out more about myself and my desires. I love meeting beautiful women, connecting with them on many levels, then going home, never having to wonder if my phone is going to ring and my wife picking up. Its wonderful.

Should have done this when I was younger!

I was 22 and the only sexual experience I had was being raped. My therapist told me that I needed to work towards "positive" sexual experiences. I had zero game and nothing but strike outs with girls, I wanted to have sex and turned to mongering. Didn't go in full bore though, first went to strip clubs and spent like $200 on lap dances that night. My friend ended up taking me to a hostess club (japanese american girls), kinda hit it off with one of the hostesses, but as expected, that didn't go anywhere.

Started googling around because well, I had always seen prostitutes in movies and stuff, but had no idea how to find them, or anything about the industry. Hell, I remember before that, I drove slowly up and down Sunset Blvd, since I heard that's where street walkers are in L.A., apparently I either drove too shitty of a car, or movies were a lie, because no one approached me lol. So educated myself online and tried craigslist out. I still remember how nervous I was first time calling, and it was some deep voiced guy on the other side. I was asking a whole bunch of questions (that obviously I know not to ask now), but I remember kinda being "Wow, I just talked to a real pimp" kinda giddiness. Ended up seeing a (different) girl that night, and probably every month for a couple of years. I was still in college, but couldn't get a girl to save my life, it actually really destroyed my confidence: I have to pay girls to have sex with me. That's just... *tear*.

Wasn't until I moved to Japan and started gaming that I got my confidence back and could start having real experiences with girls. Now I just use P4P for things that my partner won't do, kind of a supplement for areas lacking in my relationship. I gotta say, it's one thing I love about Japanese culture; they're somewhat amiable to P4P (Don't ask, don't tell), compared to a lot of western girls who would go Lorena Bobette on you for "cheating."

Las Vegas at the age of 18! Lol

 

[User#12791]

Started 2011 or so. At the time, I was concentrating on the career, so had no interest in relationships. Still, a perv has to do his thing, so I started frequenting this one strip club because of the international girls it brought in. Ended up finding a chat dedicated to the Toronto adult scene. On that chat had lots of independents including Lora Croft, which ended being my first P4P experience. Cute philipina. Very talkative, and great service. Loved DATY, and also had a various collection of lubes for the situation. Hardcore pro. I had the intention of repeating, but she disappeared and reappeared frequently. Jayda, who also frequented the chat, I saw about three times. Chinese(??). Killer deepthroat.

Jayda

Great women. I really wonder what happened to them.

 

[BankaSakka]

I never did say how! I met a German in Las Vegas in a club. She had all the right physical features. Early in the night she chatted me up and we did some dancing. I can't remember how we got back together, but she was older and she had this beer so I lifted up her skirt and I pulled her pink patties forward and poured the beer down her crotch. She had the biggest look of surprise I have ever seen. I sat down on her lap and I remember she was really ticked off and started speaking German. Her other friend comes over and says that they have to go. So naturally I invited her back to my hotel. Her friend was like nope on that idea. Anyways I told her my room number. And in the middle of the night there was a knock at my door and the German girl was there. She says, "You got 750 dollars?" I was frozen. Then she said, "I take cash only, do you have the cash? So I said I did. Never questioning her about her job, I told her to wait and I went down to this machine and used my CC to get some money. After handing her the money she stripped and then she took this bottle of vodka, guzzled it and then proceded to German me almost death. Haha Fond memory! I should add that for at least a good hour in the club our tongues were locked together! I am not really sure if she was a whore or a girl that needed some money or was taking advantage of our attraction to each other or what but for that night and well into the next day I discovered GP4p.

Ah yes the old beer down the crotch move. Gets them every time..

 

[RightOn6975]

Started back when I was in school around 18 or so, mostly just finding things here and there and getting information never really took the plunge. That all changed back in 2013. I was in Okinawa at the time, friend of mine made some mention of Soaplands and I had heard of them earlier but never paid any attention to it. We went to the ATM, pulled out some cash and off we went to the Red Light district. We went to the first soapland we saw and were ushered into a backroom were we did not get to select the girls, shown a menu of time and prices and made our selection based off of time. My friend was the first chosen and he said I go first I tried getting up and the doorman said no, that he was going first. I sat down and he left. I waited another 15 mins getting more nervous and anxious by the moment. My thoughts were going a mile a minute, what if I can't get hard? What if she is ugly? What if she thinks I am small? etc...(it should be noted that I had just recently had sex only 2 years prior and this would be my second time).
Doorman came to the room and told me to follow him and guided me to the stairs, once I got there I was in shock. This girl was BEAUTIFUL! If my face could be a cartoon my eyes would have popped out of my head and jaw to the ground. Sensing that she took the lead and surprised me again speaking in fluent English, "Ha Ha don't worry, I won't bite...Hard." She said with a wink. She lead me up the stairs to our room and from there I kinda knew what was going to happen, get naked, wash, tub, mat, bed. That is what I had read and heard from my friends what was SUPPOSE to happen. Did it happen like that? No, realizing that I was shy and my first time ever doing this she once again took the lead. After lathering me up on the stool and washing me down she proceeded to give be a BBBJ, I will admit her skills were amazing. After that she told me to get into the tub, while she washed down, told me to brush my teeth and what not, after which she joined me in the tub and lifted me up and proceeded again to give me a BBBJ, pure PSE. We got out and mat play ensued she rolled me over and gave me another BJ, I hadn't noticed until she got up and was about to ride me that she had put a condom on me and let the good times roll.
At the time I was not really experienced and took the lead telling me what to do, how deep, fast, slow, positions and what not. Time ran out with us still going at it, she frowned and said you didn't cum, I apologized and said, "At least one of us did." She laughed we got dressed and she told me her working schedule and wanted to see more of me in the future. I did a few more times over the course of my time in Oki.
I should also note that me and my friend shared stories about that night, his was not the most pleasant of ones. Apparently the girl said she was 24 looked 40, Complained the entire time about his girth, horrible oral game, feminine odor and she smelled like she had just smoked 2 packs of cigarettes. To end it while she was finishing him with a HJ she took great joy in the fact of death squeezing his member with no lube until he finished. He claimed it was the most painful thing he has ever gone through.

The first time p4p for me was when I was 22. Because I live in a country where prostitution is legal, I had fantasized about going to the RLD, where women stand behind windows, numerous times. Being shy and not so confident with girls back then, I was too nervous to even go there, walk those streets with all those hot women looking at me from their windows. I was also quite paranoid to run into someone I knew, since I live in relatively small city. So I was quite happy when I found out about a website with sexads. It meant that I could visit a woman at her home, anonymously The encounter itself was pretty mediocre, she was definitely older than what she put in her ad, and not so pretty. She was friendly though, even offered me a beer before we started (probably cause she sensed my tension, hehe).

A few months later I finally took up the courage to venture into the RLD (always at night, to minimize chances of running into someone) and over the span of a few months I had a few encounters there, which to be honest, were all quite dissatisfying. It was all too cold and mechanical, which is a huge turn off for me. It really felt like business. In hindsight I think I was more looking for love and affection than for plain sex.

After a few years of no p4p (girlfriend) I figured that to find some affection erotic massages would probably be more my thing. There is a Thai massage right around the corner where I live and I've had some really good encounters there (only massages with HJ, no sex).

When I was in Tokyo for the first time a few years ago, I decided that I really had to check out some of the p4p there (I was watching a lot of Japanese porn at that time). I went to a pink salon (not sure if that is the right term, it was a place where you get a BJ in a small cubicle) and it was really nice. The woman, mid thirties I think, really gave her all, which resulted in my first CIM experience. Damn that felt good! Also visited a soaplands, which I remember was pretty freaking expensive, but it was my last night in Japan so I figured "why not?". It was great, she really took great care of me and gave me an amazing BJ in the bathtub I also remember we had some lovely sex on the massagetable.

 

[impish]

About 3-4 months ago. The reason being that sex at home is boring (not by my choice), so I went in search of less boring.

 

[RoboReptar]

Honestly came down to me wanting to explore what I couldn't do in previous relationships, being able to branch out and expand your views on sex is the most liberating feeling.

 

[majimekun]

Sorry but no. The US had commercial dialup services before Minitel.

Yeah the French have a tendency to believe they are above the others ....

As for me, I never did "mongering", because I'm French soooo .... I'm better than all of you.

And I'm not fugly either

 

[bbuy]

My actual start was a drunk mishap in Korea, but the start I acknowledge is when I went to Angeles City for the first time. My research was minimal, so I ended up staying in an overpriced hotel next to an overpriced bar right on Fields Ave. I was so awkward in the bar that the mama-san eventually walked one of the really young girls up to me, sat her down next to me, and told us to get talking. I barfined that girl all three nights I was there. Can't say I've had an experience quite like that in the Philippines since.

It's not like I actually P4P that much, but I guess what keeps me in the game is the simplicity it lends to life: pay a fee, have a good time, and go home. My life's taking forever to get in order anyway, so it's better to just cherish whatever brief connections are made and get back to the grind.

My start was on the 1st of October 2011! A few years ago I registered in a forum like this one, actually the biggest for escort services in germany. I looked around a bit but then skipped until mid September 2011, when I tried to get back on track after a not so well done surgery. Til then, I had some girlfriends but nothing was something special, just the standard. A little voice in my head said, that there has to be more and the mentioned forum could be the source for that. I looked around, posted here and there and wrote a thread about my concerns, that maybe I'm not the "right sort of client" for an escort but still wanna try this experience. Some laughed at me, some pointed and me like "awwww, look at this little cute" but there was one girl who understood me and wrote me a private message.
Some days later, on the October 1st 2011, we met at a hotel near by for an overnight date. It was one of the most amazing things that I ever had in my life and I never met a girl again with such an amazingly soft skin. We where talking at the hotel bar, walked around a bit, totaly forgot to go somewhere for dinner and around midnight we where at my hotel room. Shy as hell I tried to place an order for room service, not a good idea while she was undressing. She called me to come over to sit right beside her and a few kisses later we where some kind of human knot. That didn't changed till the alarm of my cellphone rang at 8am. She took here stuff, gave me a long kiss and left the room.
From this moment on, an overnight date with an escort was exactly what I was looking for.
Some time before the date, there was a bit of texting and looking if the chemistry was good. Then the first eye contact, most of the time in front of a hotel in some nice major city here in germany. Refreshing before we went out for a nice diner or a musical, and two times, I will never forget that, for Burger King and a film at the cinema....in smoking and evening gown. Back at the hotel room the magic happend .
For the next year, til I went to school again, I met a lot of amazing girls and also women. I met a lot of different people with more different mentalities, some close to mine and some very far away but always interesting. I was in love, not with a person but with this kind of "dating". During this time I learned a lot about myself, what I like, what I don't like and what was important so that both will have a great time. That sometimes I have to take myself out of the equation to have a great time.

Then there was a pause, because of some health issues and a real bad relationship. I think I'm not that standard relationship guy, lesson learned !

Now, as I planed the trip to Tokyo for this year, I was wondering, how that all works over there? Are there escorts too? What else do they have? Well, I landed here at TAG, without a clue I opend a door to a whole new world. I'm still aksing myself if I could fit into that world or not, but we will see.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day, van Hellsing

Hope it's OK to necro-bump this old, yet very interesting thread. Just need something to kill time.

My first experience was almost 2 months ago, during a trip to Japan.

I was in a similar situation to ShibaKen - did not have much self-confidence and also rarely talked to or even knew many girls. It also didn't help to be working in a place where everyone is at least twenty years older than you, most of them being males.

The idea of p4p came to mind because:
- It seemed to be a lot more cost and time-effective than dating. Besides, I didn't consider myself 'dating worthy' (have some other issues of my own) and did not want to be in a relationship anyway.
- Sex is fun and I thought I'd probably never do anything intimate with a girl again if things continued this way.

Reading the discussions and some of the providers' postings on TAG got me comfortable enough with the idea, then I finally took the plunge and contacted a provider here. Initially I thought I'd be a very rare case of a guy in his early twenties doing this (because all other guys my age are swimming in pussy right???)...but apparently not so.

Not sure if other guys feel the same way, but I've found that It's not a pussy or a mouth which makes it so much better than my left hand, but actually the intimacy and having another person there which really enhances the experience.

I think p4p has also given me extra confidence when talking with girls, knowing that sex (with a beautiful woman too!) is actually something which can simply be bought with money.
