First time I got into mongering was early 2000s, a KMP, via a surprise present. My friend and I were hanging out with some other friends, after dinner/karoake we left. He was driving and instead of driving me home, he said that he was going to massage place. He would pay for me. Said ok. Went to a KMP in midtown, upper floors, where the bathroom is out in the hallway. Indian guy comes out of the"office" and with this somewhat older 30s lady, to go to the bathroom. We kinda hesitated, lady wanted us in the "office", Indian guy left via the elevator. Another 30s lady came out and tried to talk us into coming in. Back then I thought they were too old for me, lol , even though they looked good. We left and went to a PC bang, looked up stuff online. Went to another one, got younger and hotter girls, then got hooked.
A couple months later, went to Seoul, Korea. To hang with a different friend who had to leave the US for korean military service, because of a medical condition, no bootcamp, but he had to work for them, usually some translation. At least he got to go home to this apt. He took me to a redlight district, NOT Itaewon (US army base area, hooker hill), although we did go there to look around, lol found a Jackie Chan restaurant. Lotta Russians/Nigerians in that area also. Before the ban, the redlight areas was like an open secret, first floor showcases of girls in skimpy clothing, in certain areas. We actually went to couple, since some of them were kinda aggressive, scaring us. lol Some werent that hot or young. After finding some girls we liked, I paid it forward, paid for both sessions, if I remember it right, it was like $60 each or so, back then, really cheap. I dunno about my friend, but my girl switched with this REALLY young girl, like 20yrs old or something like that. She came into this room with a bed, undressed and just lay there. She would jack me to get hard, put on the condom and just lay there. I kinda had to do most of the work.
I also tried to go to these love motels that they have everywhere, during the day in the morning. They told me to come later. lol Havent gone back since.
