My interest in massage parlors started when I was in the military in Vietnam.  There were massage parlors in most cities and even smaller towns and even on some of the bases there where the usual charge was 200 Piasters which was about $2 plus maybe another $3-5 for a tip.  They all pretty much gave fair massages and great hand jobs which was a real eye opener for me.  We all pretty much hit up the various massage parlors whenever we were close enough to one.

I came back home from Vietnam and didn't much think about massage parlors after that until I was going through a divorce 20 years later.  It took a few trips to various massage parlors to learn that the AMPs (Asian Massage Parlors) could usually be counted on for at least a good hand job but I never found one run by white women with a white staff that gave anything but a legit massage.  So I now pretty well stick with those run by Koreans, they know what's up!

I started hobbying in my 20's after a bad break up with my SO.  I really had no urge whatsoever to find another girlfriend but after a month or so I started to really get the urge for sex.  I started off by going to strip clubs but soon grew frustrated by the fact that I would leave them even hornier than I had been before.  One night, driving back from the strip club I passed by an SW and picked her up.  I think I was really lucky because she was young and claimed to just be walking the street to make a few bucks.  I paid her 30 bucks and she said we could screw or she could give me a BJ but that she preferred to screw because it was more fun.  Anyway, after banging her in my car I thought that I would definitely be returning to look for her again.  Months of searching and I never found her again and the other SW's that I went with were a huge disappointment.  Since I had already broken the ice so to speak, I started to order delivery on a consistent basis and have never looked back.  Even when I have an SO I continue to hobby albeit with less frequency. 

I've been a full time provider for about 4 months now.  It started with the constant dissappointment of one night stands, I'm one of those girls that aims to please, but never felt I got the gratification I deserved.  For whatever reason, getting cash in return is not only a form of gratification for me, I honestly get off getting paid for it.  Why let my talents go to waste on some ungrateful jerk, when I can get a "thank you, that was great" after every appt. ?   Makes sense to me.  Its a straight up business ... we all know we may never see eachother again, and if we do, we know whats expected, and are happy with the end results.

WELL I DIDN'T START IN THE [HOBBY] TILL OCT. OF 2006, BEFORE THAT I HAD A SERIES OF LTR'S . AN IN 2001 WHEN I WENT BACK TOO SCHOOL I HAD 3 GF'S THAT ALL KNEW EACH OTHER  THAT I WOULD BASICALLY BOUNCE FROM 1 TO THE OTHER. PLUS THEY ALSO WOULD FOOL AROUND WITH EACH OTHER OFTEN WITH ME. UPON RETURNING TO SCHOOL I SWORE OFF WOMEN LIKE AN IDIOT PISSING THEM OFF, BUT I DIDN'T NEED THE DISCTRACTIONS. AROUND 3/4 OF THE WAY THROUGH THE 4.5 YEARS IN COLLEGE THEY THE DOCTORS DISCOVERED I HAVE TERMINAL [ALS] ILLNESS ALONG WITH MY DISABILITIES. SO I GOT OUT OF COLLEGE FINALLY, AN OF MY 3 GF'S THAT WERE LEFT WAS 1. 1 HAD DIED AN ANOTHER HAD MOVED. AN WITH MY HEALTH ISSUES AS THEY ARE I HAD NO ONE BASICALLY TOO SEE, AN A OLD FRIEND OF MINE THAT KNEW WHAT AN HOW MY LIFE WAS LIKE AT 1 TIME. SAW HOW DEPRESSING IT WAS FOR ME AT TIMES, SO HE SUGGESTED TOO ME ABOUT CL AT 1ST. SO FROM THERE ITS HISTORY. IF IT WASN'T FOR MY DECLINING HEALTH ISSUES I WOULDN'T HAVE EVER STARTED IN THE HOBBY.

Sounds to me like you have the perfect mindset for doing well as a provider.  Sounds like you enjoy what you do and that you are doing it for the right reasons. Congrats

That's a pretty intense story Vlad but I hope that at least the providers are treating you right.  Sounds like you had a heck of time in college though! 

I think my story is pretty typical, in that after a few years of marriage my wife decided she didn't want to fuck any more.  I simply can't last on sex 3 times a year so I hobby and I really don't feel guilty about it at all.  If she was in touch with me at all she'd realize that I'm a very sexual person and need it at least a couple of times a week.  Sometimes I wonder how she hasn't guessed that I'm in the hobby.  I don't think she's given me a BJ since we got married.  Other than that, we get along well!

My experience is a lot like High Roller. I have been with my SO for over 20 years. Things have gone down hill fast the last 10 years, despite my constant effort to spice things up. I stated hobbying 5 years ago. On average once a month and primarily AMPs. I am getting fed up with the quicky service and am looking for something more gratifying. For better or worse, I cant see leaving my SO, as there are kids and legacy that I dont want to walk away from. I have been posting locally for a provider(s) where I can be a regular for several hours and an ocassional overnighter. I am finding it very difficult to find such providers in a discreet/professional manner. If anyone has suggestion, please let me know..

My experience is quite similar to yours. My SO is like a cold starfish. We have sex about once every two months and she is a total clock watcher! She just lies on her back with her legs spread (like a starfish) and coaxes me to cum. She hasn't given me a BJ in about 7 years and if she did she would probably cover it up!

My advice for finding the type of provider you are looking for hazel (an ATF type) is to do your research and then get out there and sample as many providers as you can. Providers will probably get freaked out if you tell them that you are looking for something more serious before you've ever met them. Find a provider that you have good chemistry with and after a few visits you can try an overnighter. I'm sure you know this already, but do not ever cross the line between a hobbyist/provider relationship and a GF/BF type relationship because those never work out well IMO.

I just like giving massages - I was looking for an extra job in addition to the part-time one at a chiropractor's and answered an ad at an aromatherapy studio. That was in Germany, so we could talk openly about what we're doing and what not... I guess that made it a lot easier for me in the beginning.

Then just as now I appreciate the extra cash, of course - but it never was my only income. I think I wouldn't like the feeling of totally depending on providing sensual massages, they have to be fun - I always want to create an extraordinary experience, and couldn't do that with the feeling of "I have to make that 200, otherwise I can't pay the bills".

Just as when I started, my real job centers around medical issues, chronic pain and so on. Working as an LMT in Florida also has the disadvantage of the draping - I always struggle with the sheets.

So the sensual massages make it possible for me to play around, to do long slow strokes on the whole body without being hindered by sheets and underwear, I can enjoy mutual touch, I can use my whole body - and mostly, the goal is just to provide a great sensual experience and I'm the one creating it.

I guess there's some power play behind why I enjoy it so much, too, and it turns me on a lot to be able to direct the state of arousal, to tease and withdraw, and to finally lead to a long, amazing orgasm.

"This was the best orgasm I've ever had" and "I've never felt so turned on and so relaxed at the same time" are compliments that I'll always remember.

I feel that giving sensual massages gives me the unique opportunity of using all my best skills and talents. I love it, and I can't imagine quitting as long as I'm healthy.

I guess what started me hobbying was that I realized I could pay to have sex with beautiful open-minded women whenever I felt like it...What can I say, I'm a lazy guy and sometimes I can't be bothered to do all the field work before getting wet. I just never saw the problem with paying someone an agreed upon amount for a service that I wanted and she happily offered.

Ive done massage my whole life literally since a young child.
NO NOT A SEX WORKER as a child it was a family business.
at 14 i started massaging naked men at family chiropractor FREAKED ME OUT AT FIRST. still did not graduate to HE until a year ago!

I became of age and started to work at other massage places.

a client of mine had not had sex w his wife in 5 years! HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? he was a friend of mine over time he wanted to be my sugar daddy.

my culture its very common to have a 2nd wife.
we where together 2 years he helped me with rent school pretty much anything i needed then he went back to thailand. he still sees me when he comes back to the states. When he left I still was not ready to make a career out of it.The older I get the more open I am and see things in a different light I suppose i can say i am more emotionally attached than the average provider. Its not a good choice for most it suits me.

You'll probably laugh, but I started in the hobby because I had a long dry spell of not dating (7 years) mainly due to working insane hours and traveling constantly. So when I started dating again I was a little gun shy so to speak. After a few failed attepts at getting back in the game I decided to try a provider. This was only recently, but I definately enjoy it. I'm not sure if I'll continue as my relationships become well relationships with an SO, but for now I'm enjoying the experience.

Once you've hobbied its tough to stop. Your SO might be great but think of all the wonderful ladies out there that can be yours for an hour for a few hundred bucks. Irresistible if you ask me.

We have shared our complete story on our blog if you care to get the nitty-gritty:

How Does A Married Couple Decide To Become Escorts?

However the general gist is that we met as swingers in the swinging lifestyle, (so yes, we both love sex, sensuality and erotica).

Anyway, after we became a couple, we continued our swinging together - we both enjoy watching our partner with other people, so that also helps.

Needless to say, the "lifestyle" as its known brings with it some unique challenges. While we were a selective couple, primarily looking only for couples (where both parties were equally attractive) or single ladies, the flood of inquiries from guys and couples was difficult to manage.

Further, we learned that not all couples (despite what they say or advertise) were into a full-swap scenario, which really sucks cuz I love to see Alex with other ladies - That was when I learned I had a dominant side

Plus other couples moved too slow for our liking, hey, we don't wanna date ya, we just wanna fuck ya! lol

Long story short... A couple that was not on our immediate radar had sent us a few emails and we had not replied, then they sent us what we now call, "The Indecent Proposal". Alex read it first, he showed me the email and I was like, "Hell Yea! Lets Do It!".

We had a wonderful time, we knew exactly what was in store and we loved the terms, socialize some, play some, get spoiled - go home.

The couple encouraged us to consider "going pro", so we started to look into it, we called some ladies, we even hired one to sit down and talk to us. We spent 3 months doing our research and we've formulated a few simple rules.

1) This is not our primary (meaning most important) income - we do not live on it, thus we NEVER depend on it.

2) Discretion regarding our professions are of utmost importance - in this sense, we really identify with Hobbyists.

3) Our saftey, continued freedom and our security is non-negotiable - in this sense we really identify with Providers.

4) It is a business first, we prefer to side step illusions and focus on providing fun, entertainment and the experience of unforgettable adventures.

5) This must always be fun, and edifying to BOTH of us and our relationship to each other must always takes precidence.

In our first year, we have encountered haters who've attempted to sabotage us and threaten us to cower in fear. We have also met a great many people who cherish us, enjoy us, and continue to return to us. We've not been bashful regarding our opinions and we will be the first to try, test and challenge ourselves to improve our overall experience as per our top 5 priorities.

Lastly, we've made some great friends, best of all, we've had a blast with them - better than we have ever experienced in the "lifestyle" we are truly greatful to have all these experiences.

Just our 4 cents,

for me it was a bad breakup and laziness, one of my exs friends came over about a month after we broke up and basically said she would do anything on earth for 200 dollars. i took her up on her offer and have been hobbying ever since.

I just wanted to be like Moebius

That's kind of cool. So you fucked your exs friend? Nice work, even if you paid for it!

i saw her off and on for months her price kept getting lower too. the first time it was rent then car payments etc. she finally decided she wanted a sugar daddy so hooked up with some dude.

For me i got divorced in my mid 40's started dating around did not really want to go for the 20 something because i did not want to party like that anymore but the 40+ ladys were not doing it for me either i went to a massage parlor for my first time and thought wow this is not a bad deal young and i dont have to drink with them all night. then advanced to providers and i am glad i found a board like this because i was real dumb i did not think that there were scamers out there or ladys with pimps i just thought you went to C.L OR B.P and all was good.

I've been raised in the healthcare/massage industry since I was very young, I love doing massage but...
Like anyone else I like variety in how I make my living
So doing this lets me be myself and have fun without all the clinical lingo
and the sameness that comes with it.
Plus I get to work on some hotties too
