Most providers won't see you without screening you. With reviews, screening becomes a lot easier and faster. All they have to do is check out the reviews you've left, and the responses to those reviews.
It was 10-28-1982 when I first discovered this hobby. Just turned 18 that year and a freshman in college I had visited an office in a down town area and our meeting went on and on. It was 10 pm before I got back to my car for a drive home, and rolling through town I see all these hot girls, short skirts, and lines of cars seemingly checking them out.
For the next two hours I circled the area seeing lots of really attractive women flaunting great bodies on the street corners. I finally stopped on a side street to watch. A very good looking lady gets out of a car behind me and starts to walk past. She leans into my window and offers a date. I said sure.
She directed me to a parking lot no one was in. Tested me out with a grope, and offered me a HJ, BJ, or 50/50 starting at $20. I only had $20 so I got my first blowjob and was hooked. For the next year I’d revisit the area ten or 15 times and only once did I go for full service when a room was available for it.
Later I found massage parlors, Golden Gypsy in Berkeley was a favorite after a massage at Tikki, and SF Asian parlors finally welcomed me in. About 4 years later I got sent out of the area and when I returned the SF AMPs wouldn’t see me any more and I never pushed it. Gypsy and Tikki were gone and the only hobbling I could do was on travels using the phone book and escort agencies. I had a 40 year best experience on the Queen Mary as a hotel in LA. It involved a USC cheerleader and broke my bank but the memory is still there.
On SFRed I posted reviews under 20yeartime. Now it’s 40yeartime.
