Learning my way along...

[MikeDavies]

This may seem naive for this site, but as a TSfan, I am wondering how I should pursue my interests to the next level. Simply put, I have been VERY interested ever ***ce a trip to New Orleans several years ago. But all I've done is think and surf and wonder...

I'd really like to meet a pretty, feminine TS that could humor a guy like me...40 yo executive type with pretty vanilla interests. Well, I guess "vanilla" is relative. But seriously, I'm quite hetero but this site is the first I've seen that seemed approachable.

So...any recommendations???
I'd just like to learn, play, progress...but in a safe, friendly, sober environment.

[riffraff]

You might trying looking at a site like Eros Guide and brow***g a city you're in close proximity to and/or willing to visit. Some of the TS's specifically cater to "first-timers" or "beginners" in their ads, so you might make it a point to target them first.

Also, you could take a look at The Erotic Review site. You have to either subscribe or else submit two reviews and have them accepted for publication on the site before you can read the reviews in full. Even if you don't pay or submit reviews, you can still look up an escort (or "provider" as they are called) and see how reviewers rated them in terms of performance and appearance.

The discussion board on The Erotic Review is free and that might give you some ideas as well. Just be careful posting a question like, "Am I gay if I like TS's?" because some of the people who post often take a dim view of "newbies" and they can be very critical. You can also search past messages posted and sometimes find invaluable information.

Lastly, you might try Shemale Escort Review once you narrow down your list of TS's you'd be interested in seeing. For both The Erotic Review and Shemale Escort Review you'll need to register.

One other thing -- you might see the term "411" used on these sites, as in "What's the 411 on Foxy Angel?" "411" is simply a slang term for information, especially when it's acquired by word-of-mouth. (FYI: the term "411" comes from the area code for local directory assistance).

Now here are the links to the sites I've mentioned:

http://www.erostranssexuals.com/shemale_escorts.htm

http://www.theeroticreview.com/

http://www.shemaleescortreview.com/

Good luck and good hunting.

[MikeDavies]

Thanks for the help...
And for the warnings about my innocent, but naive comments.
I've made a few phonecalls from the ErosGuide...but they were less than encouraging. More like scary I would say.
But it was probably just bad luck...or bad choice.

After reading some of the discussion on here, maybe I should try to see Foxy Angel??? Or someone else talking here???
It just sounds like some straight-forward type of discussion from reasonable people.

Oh well, I guess I sound kind of stupid. I feel like a babbling teenager. I'm really fairly adventurous and experienced in most erotic exploits...this one's just new to me. And I guess some of the "experiments gone bad" make me a bit paranoid. There is nothing worse than trying to make an erotic time out of someone that you discover you really would rather not be around.

I guess the only way will be to quit dipping my "toe" in the pool and dive in!!!

[riffraff]

If you're interested in Angel, you might try calling her, emailing her, or just wait for her to read to your post here and see what her response is. I THINK she accepts first-timers, but I don't want to speak for her.

If not Angel, I would try to establish a rapport (probably best by email) with another "provider" until you feel comfortable enough to call and set up an appointment for a date.

Another thing: make sure the provider you're planning to see matches the photo in the ad. Some of these gurls have been know to use the old "bait and switch" technique (i.e. you show up for your date and someone other than the gurl in the ad answers the door). One way to combat this is by only responding to ads in Eros where the photos have been verified and even that may not be 100% foolproof.

Finally -- back to Angel -- if she doesn't respond to this thread, you might try a new post with a subject that is direct and grabs her attention. She's very busy, but is usually quite good about responding to questions from her admirers.

[MikeDavies]

Thanks again, RifRaff!!!
I really appreciate it.
I have certainly experienced the old "bait & switch" with providers on Eros and elsewhere. Thats why I'm a little paranoid, I guess.

You say, "IF you are interested in Foxy Angel"...
surely you jest!
Who in there right mind would NOT be "interested" in Angel.
She is as gorgeous as a person gets!!!

I'm eager for a response...maybe I'll try calling to chat.
Otherwise, there are quite a few providers with quite a few stories...its pretty intimidating to start from scratch. Maybe you (or someone else) would feel more comfortable with a personal message to make a specific referral (or warning!)

Again...thanks alot. I'm really getting encouraged...and EAGER!!!

[MikeDavies]

Welllll............................
I've taken your advice!!!
Searched Eros...
Stuck to "verified photos"...
Clarified "welcomes first timers"
...and guess what???
I had a great time!
Novi was cute (though a bit of a stretch from the photos) and really sweet. She made me feel comfortable and taught me a lot.

So, I can no longer say I am a first-timer...
Or a virgin! (at least active-speaking, that is) ;>)

[riffraff]

Wow, that was fast...did you really "seal the deal"?

If so, me thinks I might start writing a regular advice column for all those "lonely hearts" out there.

(Thinking to myself): Hmmm, the po$$ibilitie$...

P.S. Note to Angel: Mike says, "You can't be first, but you can be next." (tee hee).

[MikeDavies]

Rest assured, this was still a pretty elementary lesson!
I should probably write a whole story about the dialogue that was going on...it was a bit surreal! More funny than sexy for the most part.

But she was a sweetheart...tolerating my inhibitions and feelings of "weirdness"...and especially, my clum***ess!!!
I had NO idea how hard it is to keep teeth out of the way!
(Note to self: be MUCH more understanding of others in the future!)

I still have saved "myself" for Angel...but based on my past experimentation with girls that were a little more freaky, this is going to take some real "understanding". I am open "minded" but fairly "closed" in other ways.

So we haven't yet met, RiffRaff...but You feel like a friend and a confidant already!

Now about that "next time" Angel...

[FoxyAngel]

Hi there

MikeDavies I wouldnt mind being next to fullfill your TS fantasies. Sorry I couldnt have been your first. Thats always a pleasure of mine to start your TS lessons the right way. send you off with a wonderful first time. That way you would never forget the FOX.

Riffraff.Thanks for the 411 you have supplied here for our new curious board members and others reading this post. I could not have given better advice myself.

Angel

[riffraff]

Thank you for your kind words, Angel. I'm always happy to contribute when I think I have something positive to say.

Here's hoping you can hook up with Mike Davies. He seems like a thoughtful, adventurous guy and sounds very much like he needs to be "touched by an Angel"!

I know you like to give guys the "Foxy experience," but please be gentle at first with Mike, my friend. There's plenty of time to be frisky after the cocktails kick in (wink).

And to Mike: I think you'll find Angel a good way to take the "rough edges" off your day. She really knows how to...ah, er uh..."top things off," if you know what I mean!

[MikeDavies]

Well, you're both making me a little nervous...but in a good way!
Rest assured, I have alot to learn.
I was a real klutz!

I'm heading out of town for a couple days...back Wednesday noon. Make a note...I'll be calling!

So what should I know about RiffRaff???

Hope to see you both soon!!!

[riffraff]

I'm not sure what I said to make you nervous, Mike -- maybe that wisecrack about Angel kicking it up a notch once the cocktails kick in.

That was just a general comment about one's inhibitions being lowered after imbibing an adult beverage, and shouldn't be construed as something to fear.

Speaking of adult beverages, I think Angel prefers something sophisticated, like a Cosmopolitan (alias a "Cosmo"), but ask her first to make sure.

Finally, if Angel says, "Bottoms up," she may not be not be referring to your drinks! :toastt:

[MikeDavies]

There you go...making me nervous again!
(it doesn't take much!)

<only 7 or 8 inches!)

That was me attempting lame TS humor!

[riffraff]

So...did you ever see Angel?

If not, who else is on your "radar screen"?

[MikeDavies]

I didn't hear back from an email to Angel...but I didn't push it either as I have been busy. Its terrible having to work for a living!
But I'm in town this week, so.....?????????????:wobblyeye

[FoxyAngel]

I was caught up on all emails til the hurricane now that I have been without power for 4 days Im a bit behind again.

I am in town til thursday the 1st if you would like to see me. feel free to contact me by phone.

I look forward to your call

Angel

[riffraff]

Jeez, you'd think you Floridians would be used to hurricanes by now.

Oh well...guess we can't all be tough New Yorkers. (That's right, you wanted the best, you got the best!).

But seriously, I hope Mike gives Angel a call; otherwise, you'll feel like that little guy below and to the left bashing his head against the brick wall.

"When the heart rules the mind;
One look and love is blind;
When you want the dream to last;
Take a chance, forget the past."

Hi Mike,
Wow, been reading your posts here and must say, very very exciting! I started surfing TS sites curiously about 5 years ago just after my divorce, and found angel's site 4 years ago. She truly is the goddess of all, no doubt. I got serious and started dating t-girls about 2 years ago. Let me tell you, for a guy like me, 44, white, and always been hetero, this has been the most incredible time of my life. I have found my passion. I am really lucky ***ce I live in the SF bay area. I just hop on bart and cross the bay to the big city, where I'm in tranny/transvette heaven!!! I prefer to date transexual women (pre op of course... still intact), but I have been with a few post opps too. Honestly, I only suck cock now with tits, so I am usually very honest at the start before I even offer a girl a drink at a club, or accept an escort. If she does not have a cock, forget it. I spent years eating pussy, and let me tell you it is gooooooood. But, to suck a woman's juicy hard cock while her gorgeous tits are starring down at me, well, there is no comparrison. I am totally hooked on TS women now and will never go back. It was really hard for me to get started though, but I just knew in my heart I was meant to suck cock, but I am not 'gay' in any way. I can walk into a gay bar in the city and don't really get that excited. I do have some good gay friends, but I just am not attracted to gay macho guys. I still consider myself completely 'hetero', ***ce I am a guy, who just loves very sexy feminin women with cocks and tits. Mike, best of luck, and please keep us posted on your new TS adventure, and please please be careful, and use a condom always, and use common sense so you don't get hurt our there. Feel free to ask me anything too. John

[FoxyAngel]

John

I am so happy to hear from a guy enthused about his TS obsession. go for what makes you happy babe. I hope you continue to suck many TS cocks and look up at many beautiful TS breast while doing so. apparently it makes you very happy. so press on with your happiness and make more trips across that bart and make all your fantasies come true. I dont think people should do things they are ashamed of. current example a guy posted many times on this board u***g his real name and apparently one of his friends googled him and found post he had made on the board and he emailed me and told me how embarras***g it was for him and asked me to delete his post which is not possible unless you delete the entire thread any way point being he was very active on the board and now he is ashamed and he has lost my respect.

John I hope to hear more positive post from you.
Be proud and say it load. lol

Riffraff I cant leave without telling you...
If you were to live here I dont think you would ever get used to the hurricanes and the fear of what happened in New Orleans happening right here where it most always predicted to hit first.

Angel

[riffraff]

Angel, that crack I made about Floridians being used to hurricanes was meant to be sarcastic, but obviously that didn't come through on my post.

As usual, something is lost when folks try to communicate over the Web.

If you look at the bright side, though, John may not have posted if I hadn't prompted Mike to tell us whether he had hooked up with you. Think about it.

Now for your homework: go back and read my past posts and I hope you can appreciate my New York "in your face" personality that gets people to respond -- for better or for worse!

Apology accepted (***ding).:D

[MikeDavies]

Well, John, I appreciate hearing about your experiences. Its not quite that easy in South FLorida....but it seems we have a very healthy TS population locally if you look hard enough. It takes some effort though. I've talked to some nice looking girls with some serious issues on the phone...which just makes me want to run the other way.:banghead:

Unfortunately, I have stayed a bit busy lately and thus I just take the lazy route to fulfilling my urges...ie. young, hot girls with a service that allows me to schedule more accurately and not have any unexpected snafus. So I just have Angel and others in my dreams instead of my hands, mouth, etc...:buh:

RiffRaff: I spent a long Labor Day weekend in NYC...watching the USOpen and eating my way through Greenwich Village. It was a treat to enjoy the sunshine while it rained in Florida.

Angel: Go easy on RiffRaff...those outside of the hurricane strike zone just don't realize how unsettling it can be. New Orleans was/is truly horrific in its own unique New Orleanian way. We can only hope that Rita weakens before making landfall tonight!!!

Anyway, Angel...we MUST get together. I may just be a typical middle-aged exec type of guy, but I appreciate the best of everything in life...seems to me that that describes you, and many people seem to concur. We really MUST play this out...
