I have no opinion on this, and yes like the desperately board, insomniac, pressing the * key to register an undecided vote responding to a late night TV phone in poll, I too, am going to provide a bit of useless information in answering the questioned surveyed.
Other than, dude is a pro jock of some sort, all I know is from the pat headline used here, 'Dude found unconscious at brothel' which did not originally, and has not since, persuaded me that I should give any fraction of a fuck to know more. (And, I guess it is his pro jock status that makes this a news worthy event, while no doubt scores of poor, enslaved, blue collar bastards turn up monthly in similar circumstances?)
So here's me pressing the * key; Brothels are full of temptation, smoke, and mirrors. Or, that's how it felt 31 years ago, to this 21 year old kid. In Austin TX. for school, I had left my GF, in California to finish her senior year HS. I would fly her down right after graduation, and we would start our life together.
It had been 6 weeks, but felt like forever. Even a casual hook up at a bar was more intimacy than I would trust myself with. It seemed the drive to fuck something, anything, grew stronger by the hour. Thinking a few hours and $50 spent at a titty bar would somehow ease my constant want to fuck something, was a mistake, and clear indication that hormones, not logic were at the wheel. I called a few massage parlors to get some quotes, and compare services, but they don't do that over the phone, so I picked one close with a nice Yellow page ad.
Inside, I was directed to a menu of rates painted on a hanging sign above the front counter. I was told to pick one, then I could pick one of the girls that were just then coming into the dim lit parlor, from a more dimly lite hall off to one side.I can still see that menu, and remember the reasoning behind my choice. The choices were $20.00 for 15 minutes, $25 for 20, $35 for 1/2 hour, and $45 for 45. A buck a minute seemed fair, and I was as lonely, as horny, so the 45/45 rate would leave me with 35-40 minutes to talk.
Fast forward to an outline of the rest of the night's important events. It all happened rather fast as the night sped quickly down hill and out of control. Here's what I remember clearly, or at all.
My chosen girl explains I bought room time, nothing more.
I have only enough $ to buy a hand job, or 5 preludes, (Not Quaaludes - preludes the pill, not the car, I asked.)
I left out the back door with 2 ludes, and enough $ for a few drinks at the bar down the street.
I order the third and forth shot of tequila.
I remember rushing away from the nu-responsive back door of the brothel, when puking became more urgent than getting in to fuck someone.
Sitting on the ground, legs sprawled in a V, back up against the brothel, I woke a couple times to watch someone leaving by the back door, or to lean forward and spew some more between my legs.
Trying to verbalize directions back to my place to a lady driving me home, and only being able to point the way.
I was on the phone with the police the next morning reporting my car stolen when whisps of something started blinking on. That told me maybe there was some other reason my RX-7 was absent.
It took a few hours, and some grid pattern bicycle riding before I located my car parked near the bar where I had left it.
I never did figure out who the lady was, or how I got in her car. I don't know why I did not find myself in jail, or how I had sense enough to walk, when walking prolly was not the easiest thing to do right then.
It could have been so much worse, in many ways. Not the least of which might have been, that had I been a little bigger, and a whole lot faster, I might have been signed to a pro contract as a upshot tight end somewhere, and already trying to be mature beyond my circumstances, to have my confusion raised even more, with the eyes and opinions of the whole world on me, and all because I was trying to get fucked with out making a big deal of it.
