Ah the good ole' days of the street scene, for those who judge it without ever having tried it, you don't know what the thrill of the hunt was like. Things have changed so much gentrification, more LE, websites, I mean for many cases it is for the better but I miss looking for the subtle signs, some women you'd never think were SW but you'd get a subtle hint, you'd say hi and strike up a conversation, or see them roaming for too long.
I had some of my best experiences on the street scene, for sure some sketchy ass ones too but overall you developed a sixth sense and knew when to bail on a situation. I have to give big ups to Oliver (or whomever he may be called now) for educating many of us and also just for the folklore, reading the stories was half the entertainment. Yes plenty of junkies and girls in bad situation, I tried to avoid those but sometimes they'd act fairly normal and you'd get fooled.
There was also normal women, just trying to "arrondir les fins de mois" sometimes you'd get lucky and get a number. Lots of girls coming from out of town too, just cruising to make some bucks to live out the MTL summer. I remember picking up a cute girl from BC and offered to take her back to the restaurant I was running at the time (after closing time) instead of a room. We had food a couple of beers and we fucked every which way in that dark dining room, people strolling up and down St-Laurent none the wiser to the debauchery going on inside! I had a regular I would meet on Ontario st, older woman who wasn't too bad of a looker, she would tell me stories of her father who used to work for the NFB and so on, she could suck an orange through a straw (a rare time where I'd stay rock hard all the way through getting a CBJ). I used to take a cheap room for our meetings but eventually she told me she knew lots of quiet places outdoors, if I could give her part of the room fee, I agreed, I hated those dirty rooms anyway. Man the places she devoured me, are etched in my mind permanently! To this day I probably blush slightly and get a twinge in my pants when walking by some of them.
Personally I've always preferred meeting real women, down to earth folks, I find my experiences were often better and more rewarding than agency girls (nothing against said service) this was not just true of SW but also of incalls from sites. I miss all those talented women who had a kind of "normal" sexyness to them, some were so skilled and never charged the kind of fees where you feel like you've been taken for a fool, with things being so much YMMV do you really want to drop that much to take a chance on chemistry. So many great talent, Arrina in Verdun treated me to some of the most spectacular moments, Another cute chubby redhead girl next door in Verdun whose name I've now forgotten also. The famed Shannie and her incredibly sloppy BBJ, Kassidy in Ahuntsic, the list goes on, I don't even know if this type of provider exists much anymore, I find myself despairing when looking through SP sites now.
