So, here I am -- the name is Tom and I regard myself as a fairly average sort of a bloke. However, maybe where I'm
not
so average (or maybe not - who knows?) is that from the moment I became sexually aware, I have been a lover of woman's panties -- the panties themselves and women wearing them. A genuine fetish for panties -- but not all panties -- just one type.
Fullback bikini-style cotton panties that cover nearly all of a woman's bum are my thing. But my fetish goes deeper; I'm always searching for the "Holy Grail" of fullback cotton bikini panties, which is where the edging of the panties is in a contrasting colour and consists of delicate loops at the legs and the waist -- and of course, with the prettiest of dainty bows at the front centre of the waist -- again, in a contrasting colour to the main panty material.
So Yes -- I'm picky to a fault - but it's
my
fetish and
my
obsession - and that's what does it for me!
So, it's good old fashioned, everyday Marks & Sparks (a UK-based clothing retailer) bikini-style, fullback cotton panties that are my obsession.
Anyhow, after defining my fetish, perhaps I can recount a story where "panties" were the central theme, that evolved over a year or so, way back in the late 70s.
Back then, I had a senior management position with a large and successful construction company.
I travelled quite a lot as a trouble-shooter for the business. My job was to investigate projects that were going array and institute ways to get them back on track. One such project was in Leeds -- it was a huge mess and I was tasked with sorting it out.
This necessitated weekly trips to Leeds, where I would usually stay 2 or 3 nights in a 4 star hotel close to the site; but it quickly became evident that this particular challenge was going to require me to travel there every week for many months to come and so it became financially sensible to rather rent accommodation for me, rather than fork out a small fortune each week for a hotel room.
I much preferred that set-up and my secretary quickly found a delightful 2 bed bungalow style cottage to rent, in an area verging on the countryside, about 12 miles from the construction site.
It was a nice enough place and gave me privacy and somewhere to un-wind after each day and even offered some nice views out over the fields behind.
It was from this base that I decided to do something about my complete lack of sexual activity over the last number of months, due to the ongoing deterioration of my relationship with my then wife, which was all falling apart; there was no sex and divorce loomed -- I'd been plodding on but now things had to change.
I decided to explore the world of escorts, prostitutes and/or hookers; call them what you will. I didn't have the time or inclination to try to start up relationships with women in the area, so paying for my needs seemed a perfectively sensible alternative. I was paid well and could afford it -- so why not?
This however was all new to me; I'd never been with an escort before (let's use that word from now on!), so this new pursuit of mine was definitely what they call ...
a work in progress
.
Turning to the local newspaper (this was decades before the Internet), I would browse the Classifieds for the "Escorts" section -- it was a massive section with literally hundreds of ads.; all offering basically the same thing.
I started with individuals advertising their services; they were usually along the lines of ...
"Sexy Sally -- I'll do anything your heart desires -- just call me on such and such land line phone number and let's have some fun!" kind of ads. I tried responding to a couple of these ads. but they were a complete disaster.
When the women in question arrived at my place in their taxis, they were just hideous or skanky and I knew they wouldn't be able to deliver for me what I was after. So, on those first two occasions of disappointment, I simply paid them the fee we'd agreed over the phone and sent them on their way, saying sorry, but I'd changed my mind.
I needed a Plan B and went back to the Classifieds, thinking I'd try one of the Agencies where my guess was that each establishment handled the assignments for all the women on their books and specifically, those who working that particular night.
There was about a dozen of them operating from the City and I decided to opt for the one with the biggest ad., which turned out to be a place called "Ladies of Leeds" which wasn't very imaginative but nevertheless, I called them one evening.
I dialled their number from my cottage and I was answered after 3 short rings, with a female voice saying "Ladies of Leeds -- you're speaking to Gilda; how can we be of service? ..."
Gilda's voice was a bit strange, heavily accented -- Croatian, Ukrainian -- who knows - but certainly foreign -- very croaky like that of a heavy smoker and definitely a mature lady, somewhere in her late 50s, would have been my guess.
I never got to meet Gilda face-to-face but over the next year or more, she was to become my conduit to sexual satisfaction and we became sort of "over the phone" friends. Over the months to come, she would come to call me "Mr Tom" and our conversations would go something along the line of ...
"Ah Mr Tom, so nice to hear from you, good to have you back in Leeds -- let me see which of the girls has the panties you like on tonight." And then I would then hear her turning to however many ladies were currently in the establishment and working that night and saying to them "Who of you has the panties Mr Tom likes with them? ..."
So, I was to become a regular client that the women of "Ladies of Leeds" came to know, whilst also being fully aware of what my requirements were, in terms of the underwear I wanted that evening's companion to be wearing.
Anyhow, this was to come in the future; for now, this was the first time Gilda and I had spoken and in answer to her "How can we be of service?" I came straight to the point.
"I'm looking for a nice looking lady who's wearing fullback, bikini-style cotton panties -- ideally white; and with a dress or a skirt, who can come and spend some time with me this evening -- I'm in Bramhope."
