The first…

I found my first provider through a classified ad printed in the newspaper. 1987? Made the call from a pay phone at the quick trip and got the address. Her house was near the state capitol building. It was well after dark, raining and I was soaked by the time she opened the door. I remember the playroom had red lights, a lot of tassels and a funky smell. She was quite older than I had expected. It wasn’t a very good experience.

First actual escort out of phone book. She traveled from Ottumwa to my house, about an hour and a half, in an old beater boat of a car. I saw her four times. The fifth time I traveled to her place and she ripped me off. Only time I’ve been robbed.

First time for me was the massage place in Iowa City in the 90s. It wasn’t an Asian massage place. It was similar to the water palace here in Des Moines but no showers. You walked in and got to pick from a few girls. I picked a young looking blonde. We got into this room that looked like a massage room with a bed. She told me what the menu was. Back then I think it was like 100 for full service. Never looked back since.

I wish I'd been able to go to Touch of Mink before it closed.

I was at Touch of Mink once, before my first experience in the hobby. Didn't partake. Wish I had now.
