Author Topic: The increase in TS reviews - a question during lockdown  (Read 10905 times)

Offline paulitor23

I've been wondering why there has been such a large increase in TS reviews in the London section of the site (apologies if that is more common across the site, I don't tend to look at other regions).

I've used escorts for 12 years and been a member of this site for 7 years. There have always been TS escorts in London. It would be fair to say that in the past, the majority of TS people in London were working as escorts. But, I never saw many reviews.

My question is, are more men seeing TS escorts, or is it is just less taboo to say so now?

Also, having looked at reviewers histories, it seems like many use TS and biologically female escorts and switch back and forth, so I have a question about sexual preference and reasons why. I'd love to hear some anecdotes from members as to why they tried a TS sexual experience for a first time.

I hope none of this comes across as "transphobic" or hateful. I'm merely curious as to what seems like a surge in demand for TS sex amongst heterosexual men and whether this is tied to availability of TS porn, the trans rights movements any other social factors which tend to condition and permeate our desire for sex and how we go about fulfilling it.

I've personally never tried a TS escort, but I have had the curiosity to browse AW TS profiles and have watched TS porn on a few occasions, never finding it much of a turn on but more of a subversive thing to consume.

Another question I have is whether any members who have seen TS escorts have also used gay male escorts, as I believe TS sex is sex with a biological male, whether pre or post op.

Hope people are willing to explore this topic and share their experiences and perspectives.

There used to be another popular site for reviewing TS escorts but that has closed down, hence the increase here.

For me escorting is all about being able to try new things, slim women, bigger women, different races etc. So trying TS was all part of that exploring for me.

Thanks for your thoughful post paulitor, which deserves a considered response.

I would say yes, more guys are indeed reviewing Trans escorts on UKP now. Certainly this will have at least something to do with the old Hung Angels site closing down, and that will be guys who always had a interest in T-girls.

However, just as certainly, there are guys (such as myself) who never even knew that site existed, who nevertheless have got into TSs. Similarly, they still see Cisgirls too.

In all of this, there most definitely is less of a taboo about it now as well, and what you will see is quite a few guys 'giving it a go' and seeing whether they like it. And they are very willing to post up here about it, even if they wish they hadn't gone through with it. I think for many it's something they want to give a try at least once in their lives, and why not? It's an anonymous punting site where reviews of Trans girls are allowed in the rules, and even those who have no personal interest can take a peek and see what all the fuss is about if they wish.

So for the benefit of all on here, same as with any other punting, the reviews get posted up, warts-and-all. It's for others to make of it what they will.

Obviously everyone is aware that Trans girls started out their lives as males, and pre-op ones still have the tackle. And there is a wide variation across the genre (probably not the right word) from middle-aged blokes in frocks with frankly little femininity, all the way through to ultra-feminine creatures who are to all intents and purposes gorgeous women up until the knickers come off. Infact, there are many instances of post-op Trans girls who (wrongly) advertise themselves as 'female'. Indeed, there is a recent thread on here where one of the longstanding and well-respected 'alpha-male' members of UKP has seen such a girl and not realised until after it was pointed out to him on here.

It's a crazy, mixed-up world these days and barriers are coming down in all sorts of ways. There is no black & white any more, there is convergence, merging, a blurring of the boundaries. That in itself can be exciting for some, for others, they have no interest in blurring those boundaries and that's fine. Each to their own.

Also worth noting that in addition to the subjects of our desires blurring the edges, so too is it with punters. I've little doubt that some punters on UKP have Bi-tendencies and enjoy playing the entire field between the extremes I mentioned above, and some punters will only want to go with an ultra-feminine Trans girl who is totally passable. They would probably consider themselves heterosexual and would have no interest whatsoever in blokes or even 'pretty boys' (I'm talking over-18 of course, the same as for seeing over-18 female escorts).

I don't think there are any Gay punters here, Gay blokes have no interest at all in women and indeed, if you ask a Trans girl, they have no interest in Trans girls either.

Generally across society there is much more acceptance of people who are 'different' these days, there is less discrimination, there is less hate, there is less prejudice. There's much more of an attitude of live and let live. So long as everyone contributes to society in some way, why shouldn't they all get along while being who and what they want to be?

Quite rightly because TSs aren't everyone's cup of tea, there's a separate category for TS reviews and postings. And personal sexuality of course is a matter of great pride to a good many men. But it's quite amusing to see some who seem to take great delight in visiting those reviews and then slagging off guys who punt TSs as 'Gay' or 'Bisexual'. I have no idea why they do this, why are they looking in the first place, and why do they feel the need to assert their own alpha-maleness by doing so? It's pointless and meaningless, this place is an anonymous exchange for punting information and tips.

I think you'll generally tend to find a lot more honesty in TS reviews because in posting such a review, you've already had to jump the mental hurdles I outlined above. It's as if everything's already laid bare, so just tell the truth.

Anyway, hope this helps  :hi:.

Personally, I think the hatred of TS is proportional to the hatred of homosexuality.

I have been thinking about this of late and I think there is a strong correlation. I am surprised you never alluded to it in your thoughtful post, or perhaps you do not think there is any connection?

I cannot understand it, and hating someone purely for being themselves is just about as low as a human being can get IMO.

I think ww sums it up excellently in his well worded and thought out post.

For me I think of myself as bi curious and have experimented with a TS escort and men before. I think watching porn makes you more curious (unless it’s all just girl girl stuff). For me it was curiosity and then building up the nerve to give it a go.

I’m pretty open minded and will try most things so am not bothered by labels for me or others. Live and let live I say

For me, I had one TS experience (reviewed) out of curiosity, and learned that I'm not interested in cock. But, I was fine with getting a bj/being rimmed. I'll do it again sometime, but only in a group situation with all the others being female. In which case, the extra cock will help  :D

If you've read my reviews then you know I've had a few TS experiences as well as females.  I would say it was porn that drew me in that direct initially.  I have enjoyed the encounters although they have always been with TS's you probably need to remove the underwear to confirm- ie really feminine looking escorts.  One I saw I was convinced was a girl until that very moment (did a review on HA in the past and can't remember her name although she was friends with Mary Duarte so probably gone back to South America now - dark haired "girl" in a couple of the photos of Mary on here). 

I must admit it took a long time of watching TS porn and checking out escort profiles to give it a go.  Even then I wasn't sure whether it really is my thing but I seem to get drawn back in after staying away for a while.  I have enjoyed some of them and not so others.

No one I know knows about the visits so I think being able to review on here and almost "come out" as someone who sees TS escorts while still being incognito it quite helpful and realising that your kink isn't just you and a lot more mainstream then I initially thought. 

By the way as far as considering myself gay or bi then as I have absolutely no interest in seeing male escorts or "middle aged blokes in dresses" then rightly or wrongly I would still consider myself heterosexual.

For TS they have to be feminine, a blatant guy in a dress does nothing for me. But strangely a guy not dressed if he was young and in shape would do it for me.

Offline winkywanky

In which case I have to say that is clearly bisexual. Not that it matters a jot in the context of your punting or your reviews on here, nor in the scheme of things, and no judgements to be made.

Punting TSs is perhaps a grey area? I don't consider myself bisexual, I don't fancy blokes at all. But some would consider that to be bisexual and that's up to them, I don't really care.

What pisses me off is people shouting you're gay or you're bisexual like it's some kind of derogatory term, or perhaps it makes them think they're more manly for doing so  :unknown:. It's a bit pathetic IMO.

Great replies everyone, and thanks for keeping the conservation honest and respectful.

I'm interested in the correlation, if any, between the growth of the trans rights movement and the increase in demand (and supply) of trans porn and the trickle down effect on men who use escorts seeking out TS experiences.

I think it's often been the case that what becomes prevalent in the media and pop culture tends to be sexually fetishised to some degree. Highly sexualised pop music videos in the 90s led to an increase in teen and submissive gonzo porn, and I wonder if this link is merely revealing the extent of our capabilities to pursue individual desire, or are they stretching the limits of fantasy to their moral and legal limits? We often don't consider the impact of what we watch on the way we behave, and I assume that we all start out pretty vanilla and then discover various kinks and fringe interests, but due to the general lack of emotional connection in porn consumption and punting I think there's some desensitization playing a part in all of this as well, as in we need more stimulation of the senses to achieve the pleasure because the interaction with that sexual stimuli isn't coming from the heart, so to speak.

Thanks for starting a thread on an interesting subject  :).

I think it's all in the mix...minorities feeling able to express themselves and becoming more visible, the proliferation of porn and the emergence of more 'specialised' types of porn, including TS porn. Whoever really considered anal sex as an almost everyday aspect of sex life? Not many. Now everyone fancies having a crack, some even to be on the receiving end, with a strap-on attached to a hot girl. Porn has opened up our minds to what we considered previously to be depraved and morally dangerous.

As I get older I get pervier, I've said it before. I'm at an age where I'm not going to get married (I'm not ruling out a 'meaningful relationship') and I've been there and done it sexually. I don't have a family to worry about and there is perhaps a slight bucketlist thing going on for me.

In terms of the 'limits of fantasy' the only real limits for me are for everyone to consent, be of legal age to consent, be of a maturity to be able to consent, no animals (they can't consent, they just want sex anyway), no-one gets hurt (more than they want to be), no-one gets really hurt (even if they wanted to) and no bloke-on-bloke action. Everything else is fair game.

Desensitisation...hmmm, I know what you mean, and I think this can vary from person to person, so be aware of that. I still get turned on by small subtle hints of sexuality, even a glimpse of Helen Mirren (fully dressed) can make me feel aroused.

I almost look at it like food: I like Chinese, I like Indian, I like Italian, I like a filthy kebab sometimes, or just a plate of chips with mayonnaise. On any given occasion I can thoroughly enjoy any of them, equally.

Variety, spice of life and all that.

I watched a video many years ago regarding the "feminisation of men". The narrator, Lenon Honor, believes that social engineering has taken place to cause this shift to homosexuality, transgender, etc. 
Subliminal messages over the course of the life of a man can "turn him" towards what is not natural. This does not take place overnight, it is a cumulative effect that alters the mans perception of reality. This in turn has an impact on his perception of social norms and behavioral patterns.
This has all been going on for quite some time. Does anyone remember Miriam Rivera? She appeared in the TV show, (No pun intended),  "There's Something about Miriam". It was on Sky One back in 2004. It caused a stir when she spent the series choosing one of six male contestants to be her romantic partner, and winner of a £10,000 prize.
It was not until the series finale that she told them she was transgender, and the show was pulled from Sky One's schedule after the men sued for emotional distress, claiming Sky One was complicit in a "conspiracy to commit sexual assault".
The reality show was eventually screened after the men were paid an undisclosed amount of compensation.
The above are NOT my views, but the documentary was fascinating regardless. Lenon Honor used to distribute his stuff for free for many years and it's likely I have a copy of this somewhere. If not I can point you towards some of his work.

While researching the above, I actually discovered that Miriam had passed away in August last year, age 38.

Looking at that BBC News link Xtro, quite disturbing that apparently after previous death threats, she was 'found dead' and cremated before an autopsy was carried out. Hmmm...

And interesting that a Sky TV dating show from as early as 2004, featured her choosing between various male suitors before finally revealing that she was Trans.

The men taking part sued for damages on the grounds of emotional distress caused, and conspiracy to commit sexual assault.

We have discussed similar here of late!

Offline winkywanky

What is 'feminisation of men', anyway?

Is it men mincing as they walk, adopting female characteristics and mannerisms, hand-on-hip, speech patterns and such?

Or is it a desire to have sex with Trans women?

It's a bit like saying all gay men are oooh, cooooey and basically camp. It doesn't work that way.

Offline princerico

good thread.

seems like for a lot of us it comes down to mainly being perverts who like less than vanilla sexual experiences.

For me, when i used to watch porn when i was younger I always liked watching women fuck other women with strapons, and that developed into watching men getting pegged.  I'd guess my deviation to TS is a progression of that that has been allowed by a more open society towards TS sex workers and TS people in general. So yes there is something in your hypothesis.

My favourite sexual experiences have been with Sadie Strumpet who pegged me, and Trans Sofia who I did everything with, both are things you'd struggle to get in a 'normal' relationship. Can't wait to see both again.

Impelled by curiosity and the obvious attractiveness of numerous TS girls appearing on AW and elsewhere, I took the plunge last year only to be sorely disappointed; not because the girl was transsexual, but because she was bad at her job. She was the kind of disinterested escort giving a Romanian quality of service we have all encountered.
Latterly I tried again and, Bingo, the punt was a great success, a mutually enjoyable experience.
As an elderly, married, heterosexual (never fancied blokes), I had no feelings of remorse or self doubt after intimacy with an escort possessed of male genitalia. I paid her a further visit. Even better.
I love the excitement of novelty, the thrill of the perverse.
The homophobic prejudice still lingering in society is a cultural relic left over from organised religions derived from Judaism, by which I mean Christianity and Islam. The two great pre Christian cultures from which we in Europe derive, Ancient Greece and Rome, had no prejudice against sexual minorities, though its a bit more nuanced than that; the active partner was considered respectable, while the one receiving was somewhat looked down upon.
At the time of my birth, before 1967, homosexuality was an imprisonable offence. Earlier in history, the Catholic Church would condemn gays to be burned alive. While residual homophobia still persists in sections of our society, I believe young people today are much less susceptible to historic prejudice.
And a good thing too.
