Back in the day - difference between eras

[murphy]

Thanks tramps for the details. Service is getting better and expectations are higher. The days of paying for sex in the back of someones car in a dark alley are gone

I heard that the Kiwis invented the condom. It was made from sheeps intestine .
Then the Ozzys improved it & took it out of the sheep.

Lol.

On the original post, don't know about previous eras since I have been punting only for 3 years but I remember when I started MLs would ask for extra $$$ for DATY, B2b, DFK basically anything on top of NHJ.

Now days most MLs included all of that in the normal $50 tip.

Perhaps it was more about me being new to the punting scene but seems to me MLs definitely giving more service now.

Seems I'll add my experiences. Back in the 70's there were only a few recognised "brothels" around the Cross. Touch of Class was probably the best but in real money that cost a fortune for the average punt. Most of the ladies of the night were street walkers. Palmer St, Reilly St and most of Bayswater Rd would have any number of girls stopping traffic and offering most anything you asked for from about $30 bucks going up. You either then used the car you were in or got shuffled off to some small bolthole or hotel unit she had. It all depended how busy the night was or how much she was charging. You would often see the girls swapping keys when they had a job or finished one. Before the drugs hit home it was a lot of fun in the Cross. But, in those days it was purely sex. She'd do her best to have you finished in 10 minutes. You wanted 2nd round you came back in 30 minutes and repeat the process. No kissing, not always a bed, no showers. They usually thanked you, especially if you finished quick. Then I think it was in late 80's there was a push for legalization of the industry. This opened the door for smaller establishments in the suburbs and the world you know now began to evolve. I can remember the Chanderlay opening in Roseville, it is now Roseville Rose, and Diamonds at Crows Nest. Smaller brothels that had all the bells and whistles for under $200 a go. Then the industrial site shops started popping up and the competition was on for customers. So to answer your question, this is the golden era. You have more choice and better service than ever before. Sometimes I wonder that the thrill of the chase is missing. Then I have a shower and I am soon over that problem 😎

Thanks tramps, really interesting!

I've been punting on and off for nearly 5 years now.

I've seen people punting for 20+ years. What are the differences between now and 20 years ago? 30 years ago? 10 years ago? Etc

Was there a "golden age"? Are we in it now?

Just curious on what the scene looked like back in the day.

My first ever "punt" was when I was 15 in Melbourne... went for a job interview and they put me up in a hotel in the CBD... I worked up the nerve to call an escort and when she arrived, all I had was 15 bucks to my name so she felt sorry for me and gave me a topless hand shandy and I wasn't even allowed to touch her... lol... blew my load in about 90 seconds...
I then started punting in Melbourne in 1983 and I went to "Top of the Town" near the station... it was during the height of the AIDS epidemic... even then it cost $180 an hour (and that was with my 25% off VIP discount!), and there was no such thing as BBBJ.... my keen dislike of so called Western service (ie.. code for shit service, stay away..lol) began...
So in answer to your question, yes, we are really spoilt in Sydney... super spoilt!!

Charlie Sheen thought he had Tiger blood and went bareback with countless hookers. Google him if you dont know what disaster awaited him due to his unsafe sex

I wonder how depressed Charlie is now, he's was living the dream and then all of the sudden. I mean with the latest hiv drug, he could practically have sex with a very small chance of affecting his partners but I don't think any escort would risk her life for any amount of money. We would probably get away with it but he's too well known. The only way I could think of is that he has to fly to China or Thailand where not many people know who he is.

There’s some conjecture to the Q.

with some historians Pointing toward the legend of Minos, 150 AD, suggestive of condom use in ancient societies. This describes a curse that caused Minos' semen to contain serpents and scorpions. To protect his sexual partner from these animals, Minos used a goat's bladder as a female condom


And thx fuk for vulcanisaton not the trekkie type as rubbers would be a whole lot of sticky c1855 saw the advent of the modern condom

Male condoms were made from pigs intestines back in the day apparently
