Pretty sure i told that story before but basically in 2007 me and a friend started going to concerts in Quebec, and we visited a few of the stripclubs. My friend was not coming to the one i was going in April 2019 but i was still interested to "finish the night somewhere" even if alone, so i googled to see if there was an interesting place near my hotel and for some reasons i arrived on Merb (since it has a strip club section) so basically google brough me here. I had dabbled a bit into the hobby briefly couple years prior but experiences were very bad in Sherbrooke. But browsing Merb i noticed it looked a lot different and agencies had websites with actual pictures and everything.

Lucky for me, one of the SP who worked at Devilish also did indy tour and she was coming to Sherbrooke. Any of you remember K.I.M (writing like that)? So instead of going to the stripclub in Quebec after the show, i used the money i had put aside to meet her the next day when i was back in Sherbrooke.

Even tough i only took a BJ (but did my first COF) i really enjoyed it so i decided to redo the experience directly in Montreal the next month (wich was also my birthday so i was also meeting with friends at the same time after). And aftter a long time reading on agencies, SPs, etc, i settled on one that was available that day and it turned out also amazing. I was litterally starstrucked by that woman. Too bad she left 3 weeks later. Couldn't see her a second time. And to my knowledge i never saw her pop anywhere else (at least in the Merb agencies at the time) but then again i was not as knowledgable as i am now.

So it was trough Merb that i really got into the business. Otherwise after the bad experiences i had in Sherbrooke, i had decided "never again". You had to call a newspaper ad and the booker on phone would lie to you on services, stats etc ... The second time was an incall and i still remember it was just a mattress on the floor with 1 night table and some blue light in the room....

Been reading the post, and many people talk about the past. Been a member since 15 yrs, but was wondering if anyone can remember further back, during the days of Yahoo, WebCrawler and Lycos, I have a faint memory of downloading a Lotus 123 or Excel spread sheet , for SP's in Montreal. ( I know, almost 70yrs old) .
Can't figure out if it is my memory that fails me, or I was actually downloading the file. Which I would have kept the 5.1/4 diskette !
I remember subscribing to the internet as far back as 1990, using a probably a US Robotics 2.2V.
My question : can anyone remember if my memory is correct, we used to download a spreadsheet for SP's in Montreal.

Bartender told me about it.

 

[redfried]

It was around 2005. I was looking for infos about a SP. One answer was a merb thread. Took me years to register for an account. Thanks to MERB, i had some wonderfull experiences.

Yes, the spreadsheet then became a looong list on a webpage with names, description, price and 3 scores from 1-5

An article from La Presse newspaper

 

[domestic.bluefin]

I just checked my profile. Can't believe I signed up over 20yrs ago (!). A newbie to Montreal, younger, and hornier, I somehow found the blue board (MERC), soon after which I started exchanging messages with the infamous Ollie Kloseoff who gave me a bunch of valuable tips on MTs (think Lily Saint-Henri), and one of whom I still occasionally see. He had a beef with the green board (this one) and I signed up out of curiosity. Like they say, I've never looked back, and thanks to many seasoned posters, I've found many hidden (and not-so-hidden) gems for a pretty solid batting average. Thanks guys.

Honestly I can't recall how I ended here, probably when I first was tempted to meet a SP and was worried of risk and how... probably found it by googling... and ask others for advice at that time (around 2015) I think an article about hobbying with the journalist telling that merb was a reference was my first source and linked me here... rest is history

 

[Batista Mason]

I was browsing the FreeOnes forum and asked how does seeing escorts worked. The guys asked which city I lived and their research lead me to here.

I was also active on Canbest, The Big Doggie, and the one run by a woman, which I think is still around, but I forgot the name.

I remember that article. They kept hounding me for an interview but i was hesitant. Finally Corleone stepped up & agreed to be interviewed. I bumped into him a couple of times at get-togethers. He kind of looked the part of the handle he chose! Lol.

I remember her quite well. Didn’t Chris advertise her as the notorious K.I.M. back then? She was very popular at the time. I saw her once mostly because of her reputation. It went okay. Just okay. Didn’t see her again. A year later i was standing next to Special K at a gt at HDLM & he was busy talking with a lady. Then suddenly this very nice looking lady in a tight-fitting dress appeared in front of me & said hello Doc, it’s been a while! That’s when I recognized KIM, who had lost about 15 lbs & looked great! I was very surprised she remembered me since i had only saw her once & that was over a year earlier.

The same way I hobby in any city, Google it.

 

[FindersKeepers]

I wish I could remember. I guess I was looking for reviews or gathering information on an SP and Merb came up.

Leyla’s List?

I think you mean lyla's list now at www.lyla.ch. Gosh, my old login still works after years of not being there. I just did a quick look and not much current activity but lots of stuff from 10+ years ago.

 

[Mr.spark]

Muy brother in law told me about it. So I said to myself. I need to be informed about what is happening in the City.
