I found this site by watching a news report a couple of years ago. Through here is where I learned about AMPs. I forget what news channel it was, but I thank them. :)
[QUOTE=Keloid]How did everyone find this site? Just a general question. I mean there is not links from yahoo or other places on the web that I know of. I was brought here from an email from tt bearhug who said that I should check out this site and I have to say that I have learned soooooooo much about all you guys, but if it wasn't for him I don't know that I would have ever found this site. I am not sure, but I wouldn't think that this this website is something you talk about when you go out for a cigarette break with your buddies at work. There seems to be a big member network for a site that doesn't have any advertising, so how did everyone hear about it?[/QUOTE]

Back in 2002 — when Yours Truly joined up — [b][blue]Jackson[/blue][/b] used to occasionally advertise the old [b]WSG[/b] site on the alt.sex.prostitution news·group
That's how I found out about the place
Boy! , was I a Total Newbie !!
Fer ex , I started a thread there called = [i]" Is She a Cop ?? "[/i]
[ because I had NO Idea how to tell LEOs from the Real Item !! ]
I *never* peruse that site any more , be·cause now it's 99.9 % SPAM
[QUOTE=Keloid]How did everyone find this site? [/QUOTE]
I have been on here for a number of years now. I found the old WSG by way of a web search. I do believe I was searching for "prostitution" + the city name of where I was living ... I probably dug through some other junk first before I found it.
I know I did a lot of reading before I ever posted ...
[QUOTE=Keloid]How did everyone find this site? [/QUOTE]
I found it through an article in the Boston Herald mentioning that the Boston Police use it as an information resource or as they called it, a "tool".
What that means is that from my very first day of membership I've known that writing words here is virtually the same as posting it on a bulletin board in every police station where I monger and that knowledge has curtailed the amount and specifics of the information that I post.
Here's the article.
"Cops reel in pervs, thanks to prostitution Web site
From the Boston Sunday Herald
By O'Ryan Johnson
Sunday, December 19, 2004
A Web site that helps men the world over hook up with streetwalkers has outraged women's groups and become a tool for police interested in tracking down johns.
"This site is problematic, degrading and inhumane,'' said Mary Quinn, director of The Women's Center in Boston. (Prostitution) is one way women interact with men when their childhood has been interrupted by child sex abuse.''
The Web site World Sex Guide Forum (wsgforum.com) is a cyber den for men who get thrills from trolling side roads and back alleys for prostitutes. Johns trade tips on the best places to find hookers, where to be on the lookout for police and when to go on the prowl.
Perverse Bay State paramours can find information on prostitutes in Boston, Cambridge, Lawrence, Lowell, Holyoke, Fitchburg, Haverhill, Springfield and Worcester.
When one of these self-described "mongers'' finds a good spot to pick up women, or a place to spend 15 minutes with them, he logs on and posts a note to the other wired johns with all the sleazy details.
In a recent monger posting in the Fitchburg section, "Auto'' thanks members for telling him where to find prostitutes:
Thanks for the tips guys. I did end up scoring in Fitchburg yesterday at around 2:30 after only about 15 minutes on the prowl. I think her name was Shauna or something like that, and I found her on Elm St., by the school. Kind of a sketchy pickup as school was just letting out and there were lots of people around.''
Heavy users of the flesh-peddler-friendly forum have screen names such as "Boston Monger",''GuessWho'' and "SeniorCitizen.''
But Quinn has another name for them. I think they're disgusting,'' she said.
Her group helps about 600 poor or battered women a week through counseling, arranging for psychotherapy, shelter referrals and group counseling.
The Web site has no listed owner. The domain name is registered to a post office box in Longwood, Fla., an Orlando suburb. An 800 number provided to contact the Webmaster is disconected.
The Web site's frequently asked questions section says a mystery man known only as Atta started the site in 1999. A fan known as "Jackson'' took over and remodeled the site in 1999. He did not respond to e-mail requests for comment.
Jackson writes on the site that while the original board was meant as a study in prostitution, his version promotes it.
"Our mission is simple: finding women. . . . If you feel offended by stuff like this, I don't care.''
Just as drivers flash headlights to warn others motorists about upcoming speed traps, mongers post newspaper clippings of recent police stings, give new users advice on how to spot a decoy - a police officer posing as a hooker - and when to avoid the hot spots.
But while the mongers trade tips on how to stay out of jail, the eyes of the law are watching their cyber-chats. Cops in Lawrence check the site to track prostitution along the crime-ridden stretch of Broadway between Essex and Park streets.
In Boston, police spokeswoman Beverly Ford said officers use the site as an investigative tool.
"We are aware of the site and monitor it fairly regularly,'' she said.
She would not go into detail about how police use the site, saying that could hamper future investigations.
She said police have no plans to shut the site down, and that the forum is not breaking any laws by letting men swap information about streetwalkers.
"Just talking about it doesn't make it illegal,'' Ford said."
Here's a link to some posts about it and Jackson's response to the article.

Here are some of the choice words and phrases they managed to associate us with;
degrading
inhumane
child sex abuse
perverse
flesh-peddler
disgusting
battered women
They just don't get it.
I trust that you won't show us as the animals they perceive us to be:)

I actually found this place doing a search on Yahoo! when it was still the WSG. Anyone remember another sight called "X-Reviews"? I still use Yahoo! searches if I do not want the sight to show up in my address bar history by typing usasexguide in the search and clicking on the link.

Once upon a time there was alt.sex.services -- this was in the days before the web was invented. Usenet was all that there was and all that there was was usenet (newsgroups). Not really -- there were also the mailing lists based on LISTSERV and majordomo. Both this and the "other" WSG were created based on the FAQ posted to A.S.S. by "Atta" -- the "original" one was dot-org and the other was dot-com created later. I found it by finding the FAQ in AltaVista, which became part of what we now know as Google.

[b][size=+2]*** Hats off to Rhody’s firsts ***[/size][/b]
by Mark Patinkin
01:00 AM EST on Thursday, December 28, 2006
[font=courier]We were the first to renounce the crown, establish religious freedom and create an action figure. That would be G.I. Joe. We’re home to the first industrial mill, Jewish temple, roller-skating rink, and not just a first Baptist church but – in 1638 – the first Baptist Church in America. Apparently, we’re big on indoor shopping here, since the Arcade was America’s first enclosed mall, and in 1768, Gladdings became the first department store on U.S. soil. Though I guess it wasn’t the U.S. yet.
We have the longest name of any state – Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. Arlene Violet was the nation’s first female state Attorney General. Usquepaugh hosts the country’s only jonnycake festival. And our state troopers were not only voted best dressed, but once did a fashion show on David Letterman.
Beat that, Connecticut.
All this is from my favorite new local book. It’s by Roberta Mudge Humble, a professor of English at the Community College of Rhode Island, and is called The RIght to Crow – A Look at Rhode Island’s Firsts, Bests & Uniques.
Perhaps it’s our small size, but there’s something about living here that makes people embrace ways that Rhode Island stands out. Good or bad.
When I first came here in the mid-1970s, I actually felt proud that the New England mob was based in Providence instead of Boston; maybe Detroit had cars, but at least we had that industry. We also once had the biggest maker of fake flowers anywhere. I’m still proud that we have the world’s biggest termite overlooking Route 95. It’s 58 feet long.
And to think outsiders thought this wasn’t a major-league place.
I’ve long known we stand out as the capital of coffee milk, lemonade slush, bubblers, cabinets and an obsession with low-number plates. I’ve known we have a famous chicken breed, the Rhode Island Red, with its own monument, and that we were home to the America’s Cup for more than a century until the Aussies ripped us off. I’ve known that the longest professional baseball game, 33 innings, was at McCoy Stadium.
But there are a lot of firsts I barely knew; or didn’t know. Such as that the Newport Reading Room has the world’s oldest flush toilets.
So I love this book.
It further tells me that the first World Series ever, anywhere, was held here. And the Providence Grays won. They beat the New York Mets. To me, that’s right up there with inventing religious freedom. So is the fact that Babe Ruth once played for the Providence Grays.
I’m even proud that in 1976, a state rep named Bernard Gladstone proposed a $2 tax on sex to increase revenues. At least it was a first. It didn’t pass.
The nation’s first-ever speeding ticket was given in 1904 in Newport. The guy deserved it; he was going 20 miles per hour.
The most expensive piece of furniture ever sold was an 18th-century desk by Rhode Island carpenter John Goddard. In 1989, someone paid $12.1 million for it. But ounce for ounce, that’s probably not as valuable as the $25,000 paid here for license plate number 7. That means plate number 1 is worth six figures.
Plus, I’m guessing no other place has as much collective interest in such odd foods as doughboys, dynamites, grinders, New York System wieners, clamcakes and stuffies.
I’m also guessing that no other successful politician legally added an “a” to the beginning of his name, as Ralph aRusso did, to be first on a ballot. After winning, he went on to serve as mayor of Johnston for 24 years, a state record for that office.
Oh, and show me another state where the landfill is the second-highest point. It gives you a shiver of pride.
Mr. Potato Head was born here. So was Furby, My Little Pony, and the Easy Bake Oven, which I still am prone to give as a gift to my 18-year-old daughter because, as a dad, I refuse to accept that she is no longer 9.
Maybe one reason we need books like Humble’s is that the rest of the world doesn’t give us enough credit for these things. I’m still angry that Boston gets acclaim for sparking the Revolution by dumping some tea in the harbor in December 1773 when, a whole year and half before that, Rhode Islanders burned an entire British tax ship. But who, besides us, remembers that?
Now, we have a reminder.
I think I’ll celebrate with some stuffies and coffee milk. [/font]

Sometimes I'll get "legitimate" massage, brothel museum, op eds on prostitution, demographics on sex of babies born, etc. So one has to be persistent to get the real action info.
I went to the Baltic and got good internet data beforehand on Germany, Denmark, Russia, Sweden (not much there), Estonia, and Finland, One of the sites I found was ISG (International Sex Guide) and I also noticed the USASexGuide link.
At the time I had 10 AMPs at home in Waterbury, Connecticut. I didn't need a USA guide. But early this summer all 10 were shut down (and have stayed shut down). The newspaper accounts mentioned USASexGuide. I needed a new local source(s). So I used USASG for information on Norwalk and Philadelphia, both of which I sampled to my pleasure. Then Norwalk and Philadelphia were hit hard on Black Wednesday. I was pissed. Soon after that I ceased being a lurker and became an active, posting member.

[QUOTE=PsyberZombie]For those of you just joining us , [b]Keloid[/b] is a female Senior Member who joined this site as part of her research for a documentary she's making on AMP's
She wants to call this film [i][b]" Happy Endings "[/b][/i] , even though I personally
think that [b][i]" Underdong "[/i][/b] would be a better title for the project
Anywayz , I got to thinking about Ms Keloid because yesterday I was in the Borders
Book Store over at Garden City and saw a new release there titled [URL='http://*******.com/24fo63']HAPPY ENDINGS[/URL]
It's a non-fiction , autobiographical book about this radio DJ 'personality' who likes
AMPs and *surprise!* the happy endings he gets there
I didn't buy that book and don't intend to because I'm not really in to the AMP
scene , but those of you who are might find it an inner·resting read[/QUOTE]Thats not exactly it. The book is by comedian Jim Norton of the Opie & Anthony radio show, and it is not so much an autobiography as it is a collection of anecdotes and stories about his life, sexually and otherwise. It is a really funny book. I have only read it once, as it is a fairly new release, but there isn't a lot of AMP stories (if any at all). There are many entertaining stories in it, however, and I recomend it.
