How many of us are left from ASPD?

[Mister]

I joined ASPD in 2006. Most of my reviews were on there.

I registered on ASPD in March of 1996 [no,that's not a typo], back when there was very little SA online activity. I think Whispers was the only other active SA hobbyist around at that time. The only local lady who had her own website was a green-eyed lass who liked Greek. Damn if I can recall her name, Dawn maybe? But because I had an active social and professional life, I always minimized my exposure locally and flew UTR choosing to see mostly traveling ladies, play when I traveled for business or would play in Austin, Houston or Dallas. I still miss the Amazing girls from H-town [Courtney, Darcie and Heidi were once in a lifetime beauties] and was head over heels with Dallas' Energizer Bunny and Tabitha Toy. God, I would have been bankrupt if any of them lived in SA. I had SA favorites too including Raquel, Azaleah, Alluring Jen, Alexis/Buttman's Dream, Allie and a couple of currents who I haven't seen in a long, too long, time.

I've always been paranoid about discretion and privacy and for that reason, never attended socials, saw very many local ladies nor shared many posts. In the beginning I did post quite a few reviews and even earned many attaboys for my prose. But I eventually questioned the wisdom of posting my adventures because, just as we tell our teenagers today, be careful what you post on the internet because once it's out there, it's out there forever. And I knew that some day, as technology increased, anonymity could never be truly guaranteed. Even now, I am at odds about sharing this, my first post here on ECCIE and am kind of glad my old ASPD history is largely lost.

In my early days, the SA board was practically non-existent and the Austin forum was the closest one active. Austin is also where I got my start in the hobby. I agreed to run the Austin half-marathon with a friend that year and despite any real training, I kept my word and ran it. That evening after the run, I was one big leg cramp and could barely get in my car let alone drive all the way back home to SA. My friend suggested I get a massage first and not knowing any better, I blindly called up an RMT who advertised on the back page of the Austin Chronicle. She quoted $100 which I thought was steep but naively assumed that was the premium for a Sunday evening, last minute appointment. Suffice it to say, while the sports massage was decent to OK at best, I completely wasn't expecting the extracurriculars! And my naive innocence only added to the mutual enjoyment of our experience- she enjoyed breaking in a clueless hobby virgin [after our session she told me all about the adult service provider world] and I, well, I was left feeling pretty damn happy having forgotten all about the day's run.

When I got back to SA I was dumbfounded at the underground scene I had stumbled upon and started looking it up online. There was Delphi, Big Dawgy and TER but they all wanted paid memberships and I wasn't about to create that paper trail. I soon found ASPD a week or two later and save for a couple of hiatuses for a brief marriage and two failed longterm relationships [6 years combined], the rest is largely and thankfully undocumented history.

I'll end by saying I have never run another half marathon or even 5k. But to echo Kuhlarrow, it's crazy to think back on how much money I've spent hobbying since 1996. But as the saying goes, for everything else there's Mastercard.

Great stuff right there. Brings back great memories. And to many more here.

ASPD? Yup! Signed up back in August 2004. Funny thing was that I lurked for a couple of weeks to get the feel of things and the lay of the land. I finally muster the courage to post my introductory post in the Welcome Wagon and the instant I do, DiamondJohn bans my ass!

Lmmfao! Long story short, some dude had been giving him fits and going all Ricky Rocker on him in creating new handles and he thought I was one of them...got it all sorted out and had many a chuckle with him in that regard until his passing.

But yeah.

SofaKingFun, ASPD Class of 2004.
(Of course this was wiped out by the Crash of 2005).


It wasn't a perfect board but I am glad to have been a part of it. Made many a friend and had lots of fun thanks to that board. May it Rest In Peace.


**Cholo, I always enjoyed reading what you shared in your posts. Seriously. Always great stuff. Thank you.

I lost track of when I joined ASPD. I measure it in crashes. In which, I went through at least 2 before the final one!

It tended to go off the rails at the end, Barny.
Due mainly to the butthurt actions of a *hobbyist*.

I started on aspd as SierraATX back in 2008

The 2005 crash was probably due to a hack. Subsequent instability was most likely a result of maintenance negligence that the administration deflected as attacks.

I enjoyed ASPD for several years and enjoyed some wonderful ladies. Then, one day it went away. That was when I really recognized how great the site was. Fortunately, a few weeks later, I found ECCIE and hope it lasts forever. I am an optimist, at least for a long enjoyable sex life.

[Guest070316-1]

Wish I could read all the old reviews. Some classics back in the day! Remember when pics were a big deal in the comments =).

Thanks for the memories, flinde. Been awhile since I heard mention of the Venomous Bitch from Hell!

[Guest010619]

Don't remember when I joined ASPD, did see wet velvet and almost saw HeatherOne. I actually had a lot of freebies with a Japanese doctor I was friends with till she left for greener pastures. Did see a few ladies but never did I a review till eccie.

[Exithere]

I joined around 2006, went to the home2 site for a while and joined eccie then quit hobbying other than a occassional out of town trip for almost 3 years. All using same handle. Must have had 40-50 reviews posted. Heatherone was great, saw her a number of times and her friend Lauren Shae. Never got around to a doubles session with them.

Due to my situation at the time I needed a lot of short notice sessions and used Executive Playmates on a regular basis, not to mention that deal that they had, do 10 and get one free.
