I've been doing this for over 35 years. Most of the time it has been great fun. A few events were unpleasant and a few bad enough to make me change how I do things.
I haven't discussed this hobby of ours with anyone in a few years but years ago I did. It turns out some guys have big mouths when drunk or when the wife is yelling at them they blurt out something, anything to deflect the attack. I decided many years ago to shut up about what I do. Someone can catch me in the club and I will deny it the next day or if forced to admit it at work will stick to the story it was my first time in years. I can discuss things here and on another site leaving out a few key details. Just in case someone here knows me.
I don't use motels for OTC. About 30 years ago, as my companion and I were leaving a room her former dealer saw her and came running over. He had been making a delivery to another room. She owed him money. I stayed nearby not knowing what to do. I thought I could not get more uncomfortable as they argued until i saw a cop pull into the lot. I was partly relieved and partly scared shitless I'd be involved in a drug or prostitution bust. They reached some agreement and she went to her car and I to mine without another word. The cop asked me if everything was OK. i told him I had been sleeping off one too many beers and when I came out I saw those two and decided to wait for them to leave before I went down the stairs to my car. He followed me out of town.
A former coworker that told me of some fun places in Newark, (I miss Al's) had been the victim of an assault when he told a woman what room to come to. This was a woman he had a long term relationship with for services. He does not know why she did it this time but instead of her at the door, it was her and two guys. He gave them the money he had but they still slapped him some. She never answered his pages and he never saw her in her usual clubs again. He believes she went back to Brazil.
I've checked into rooms and when I got to the room it was unusable for one reason or another. It stank. It had single beds. Missing curtains. Going to get that fixed eats into time we have together.
The list is long.
I am interested in any misadventures you've had and how you keep them form happening again.
