Here is a brief account of how I got started with adventures in mongering:
1st brush with a red light area:
My first year of college ( Bachelor's degree) necessitated a change of city. I found myself in a new city ("Pune"), making new friends and starting a whole new life at the age of 18. The guys from hostel, who eventually became lifelong friends of mine, were also new to the city. Late one night someone suggested checking out the famous Ganpati pandals in town. So 3 of us set out on our bikes. On the way back, we inadvertently took a route that went through the Red Light Area ("Budhwar Peth"). We were stopped by a gang of young guys probably in their late 20's, who proceeded to rob us of all the money in our possession... which was a measly Rs20 or so, which only made the guys very mad at us. They sent us on our way with lots of gaalis. After that, I avoided the red light area until about 6 years later, when I had a lot of good times in that particular place
Early adventures in Mumbai:
I moved to Mumbai for a job in 1996. My office was in South Mumbai. As a bachelor living away from the family, I had no time restrictions with respect to staying out late. I was fortunate to find a number of like minded guys in the same age group at work who knew South Mumbai a lot better than I did. We used to work till around 8pm and then either check out some street walkers or dance bars. In the mid to late 90s, there were some pretty good quality street walkers all over the Fort area, specially near the GPO outside CST station (was known as VT in those days), near Sterling cinema in the same area (there were cubicles available for quickie fuck sessions in a cafe opposite Sterling Cinema). I also found some great gems at a bus stop outside Opera House near Charni Road (they used to take us to the Kennedy bridge dens for the session).
One of my most memorable sessions was in a makeshift room under a staircase of a Lodge near the She-e-Punjab restaurant in the Fort area.... that particular girl was one of the hottest I have ever banged - young, beautiful, in great shape and inexplicably also madly in love with her good-for-nothing pimp. I probably banged her more than a dozen times over 2 years and she would never shut up about her supposedly "awesome" boyfriend-pimp!!! She was a great fuck though.
One of my co-workers who was barely out of college, introduced my group to Kamathipura. He knew the best den for Nepali girls ("Building #101"). We used to bang very young, hot Nepali chicks for around Rs150 per shot. These Nepali chicks were my earliest teachers in the art of love making. One particular Nepali girl taught me how to avoid premature ejaculation - her suggestion was to stop fucking if I felt like I was about to cum and take a couple of minutes to switch to a different position. Sounds very simple, but worked very well for me .
The dance bar we frequented the most in those days were Blue Diamond at Charni Road, Topaz at Grant Road and Chanakya bar near Pavvala Street. The first ever dance bar girl I banged was a Rajasthani cutie from Blue Diamond who claimed that she did not go out with customers, which was definitely a lie because she made all the arrangements for the lodge when we eventually went out on a Sunday afternoon before she went to work at the bar. There were no cell phones in those days, so she called the lodge and reserved a room for us. Note -> I am talking about 1996 - 1998. In those days, beer was around Rs100 and a "entry" session cost less than Rs500 all inclusive.
On more than one occasion I felt the strong urge to rescue what I assumed was a damsel-in-distress. I was very fortunate to get guidance from experienced mongers in the early days, which prevented any foolish misadventures of the heart on my part. I learnt very early on that there is no point getting emotionally involved with prostitutes... no matter how bewitchingly innocent they might appear. One line a co-worker used to mention all the time has stayed with me - "Remember, that girl is not yours... it is just your turn with her".
The first SB I visited was in Thane. One co-worker who lived in the central suburbs once took me to a SB near Thane station on a weekend afternoon. He was a regular there and knew which girls/MILFs gave the best service. It was a surreal experience getting a BJ from a slim young MILF type with a lot of other patrons watching. My friend and I were sitting on opposite sides of the same table, each marveling at the bobbing heads of their respective girls.
The only time I got robbed in Mumbai involved a girl whom I met at a bus stop outside the Times Of India office building outside VT station. She managed to convince me and a buddy of mine to accompany her and her friend to a lodge near Metro Cinema for a session. She guided the taxi to a brothel in the Falkland Road area. The girls were hot, so we overlooked the obvious deception. Unknown to us, the girl's associates cleaned out our wallets while we were banging the girls in a room that was partitioned into smaller quarters by curtains. We discovered the theft after we left the brothel (we had paid before the deed).
My mongering adventures in Mumbai were temporarily paused when I moved out of the country towards the end of the 90s.
Subsequent adventures in Mumbai:
Over the last two decades, I visited Mumbai on an average twice a year and observed the mongering scene changing. The street walkers of south Mumbai gradually disappeared. With the advent of the internet, I discovered ISG in 2004 and subsequently WSG.
My first ever visit to a DB in Navi Mumbai was at Nightingale in 2004. I took a lovely young chick named Seema upstairs ("entry" was at the attached lodge). That session cost around Rs1000. I recall that a Rs20 tip was considered enough for the waiters and stewards back in those days. Between 2005 and 2017, I did not go to any dance bars, but I had plenty of sessions at Congress House, Kennedy Bridge and Navalkar Lane dens.
I discovered this particular forum in 2017 while googling for current information on dance bars in Mumbai. Since 2017, most of my mongering in India has been in the bars in Navi Mumbai. I had to postpone a trip this month due to the prevailing situation. While the air ticket is still valid for a year, I hope the situation gets better soon... like all of you guys, I miss the bars of Navi Mumbai.
