The computer era started to effect SP/SW activities around 1998. Around that time there were 5 or 6 areas around Montreal that had SW activities. Many amateur that jumped in to make a few bucks from students to grannies. The newspaper ads pre 1998 were mostly agencies with a few indies. I think today making a few extra bucks for the part time indy is very hard. Which era do you prefer for hobbying, pre or post computer era?
Pre/post computer era, which one was better for SP/SW activities?

Yeah I agree post computer is far superior. I loved the street scene back in the day, but quality was never as high as the escorts I see these days. Plus, websites alow both customer and provider to avoid utter mismatches.
There is something to be said of the pre computer era. I have had a few eager to please amateurs on the street scene.
OMG....by far the post computer era......je me souviens qu'avant cette période je devais me réfugier le matin dans un resto pour y consulter secrètement et à l'abri des regards indiscrets les petites annonces d'escortes et de salon de massage dans le journal.......une fois mon idée faite je devais trouver une cabine téléphonique pour prendre rvous..et croyez moi c'était de la besogne et fallait penser aux 25 sous......si par bonheur un rvous se confirmait......avec évidemment aucune idée de ce qui nous attendait vraiment......je m'y rendais avec un fort sentiment de culpabilité et la PEUR de me faire ramasser....ALORS oui vivement l'ère moderne.
Pre computer era was the best as the excitement of the unknown just added to the experience.
You just needed to find a trustworthy agency and you were set!!!
Don't be a slave to the machine and have it make your decisions.

Yes indeed! The street scene was also much better in terms of talent and was not strictly composed of crackheads.
Yes! Les filles de monsieur Jacques and les Jardins de Madison comes to mind! Sometimes I have flashbacks of his phone number...that's just to illustrate how much I must have dialed him! Lol! But the wait and anticipation... And then the discovery... That is what I believe got me hooked!
I was a kid in the pre-computer era, but honestly i don't think i would had hobby at all without computers. I would had never dare trying to pick somebody on the street, i mean i don't even drive but even if i did, thats what you see in movies where guys keep getting arrested lol.
As for the news paper... as peoples said, no quality control, no pics, have to choose based on a vague description... I would had never go to Montreal to try this up. I did do it 2 times in sherbrooke and it was crap lol
Ill be honest tough, im not even sure i would had started hobbying in Montreal if it was not for Miss K.I.M and a great coincidence. I found merb looking for strip clubs as i was going to see a music show, saw an ads by K.I.M that she was coming to sherbrooke, i looked at her reviews wich where great so i contacted her. Also my buddy that was supose to come to the show with me choked me out so my stripper plans didn't looked as apealing without him, so kept the money so i could see K.I.M when i came back to Sherb the next day. It was great at the next is history.
You could say that maybe it would had happen under other circonstances, we never know, but i feel it was because of this great lot of coincidences that it happened.
So yes thank you computers.

Random comment but in English they say ''my buddy ditched me'', if you say he choked you everyone will think he actually choked your neck LOL
Lol ok en francais when we say my friend choked me it mean he backed out of a "promise" of doing something lol
There use to be a bar girl culture that few knew about in the pre internet days. Girls would sit and drink at a bar waiting to be picked up. Some of the bars would be in higher class places like Place Bonaventure. I was introduced to this culture when I was in the wholesale business in the eighties. At Place Bonaventure there was the regular mall and there was a floor called Mart C. Mart C was row upon row of little showrooms and offices that was there as showrooms. Buyers would come to Montreal to look at merchandise and place orders for goods. They would be wined and dined to get orders out of them. Sometimes they would need a hostess to help him write orders or accompany the salesman and buyer to meals. The bar girls would sit at bars waiting to be called to assist. They were also available for personal and private a rendez vous. These Ladies would be slightly older (25-35) dressed quite well. Where as the street girls the eighties were more of the student type and mid 20s.
Depends. With Merb it is better but if one relies on Backpage and the like then it is worse. Personally I prefer to meet the girl in person as in a stripclub or even a bar then go for take out. I prefer the more natural way then to look at a website like ordering something off a catalogue then booking the girl like a pizza delivery experience. The citys move to backwards conservatism is moving all the girls underground to escorting and MPs.
In the pre computer era there were a lot of SWs and hitch hikers that you can see what you get before you commit.
In the pre-computer era it was easier for girls to do a one-off for quick money. I had one jump in the car and when I asked her what do I get, she said anything you want. When I asked her for how long, she said as long as you want. I got 2 hours no holes barred for $60. Amateurs are some of the best times I have ever had.
Post computer era you get to see what you get and you can check reviews. Gone are the days of annonymous words on ads and promisese of 23 year old, 38D 130lbs. only to show up and get 40 year olds, 44B. @ 200 lbs.
