Picking up hitchhikers

As I’ve stated in the past my prime RT fetish was between 13 and 26 years old. When I started driving it was still a time where you would see a great amount of hitchhikers, male and female. From the time of 17 years old I would make it my business to pick up these people, as long as I wasn’t in a hurry to get someplace. I picked up my share of guys and gals. I knew it was always a potential danger, but I was pretty good at sizing up people. Once in the car we always engaged in conversation. I would always steer it to doctor visits. I, being a veteran of RT’s all my life to that point, would always start by saying that I was sick a couple of weeks before and then described my ordeal at the doctor’s office and later at home. The stories were all true, but I always made up the fact that I was sick recently, which wasn’t true. I would then ask the person next to me how it was at his/her doctor’s visits. It is amazing how many of these people experienced the same things as I. The very few who were not subjected to this were still quite interested in my experiences. It was a major turn on for me, and perhaps for them as well.

@Fontana That’s a first for me. You don’t state your age , but back in the 60’s there was a different class of hitchhikers that you don’t see today. College students and younger folk. Now it’s mostly indigenent and homeless people hitchhiking. I doubt you could have meaningful conversation with them much less talk about or steer it to a medical topic.

I’m almost 70, and I not only used to pick up hitchhikers, but I also got around that way, many times. I also hitchhiked through Europe. I never felt threatened, and the conversations were never bizarre or awkward. I was given a ride from a few police officers at times, and in spite of hitchhiking being illegal, they never cited me for a violation, nor did they check my I.D. I picked up some attractive girls, when in my teens, and even dated a couple of them. Nothing sexual was ever discussed, and my rectal temperature fetish was still a few years away. Women have always considered me to be a gentleman, and a nice guy. Some women consider that a sign of weakness, unfortunately.

@Rigel I neglected to state this in the post, but everyone I picked up was in the same age range as I. Probably between 15 and 24 years old. I would never pick up anyone scruffy looking, or older people. Nobody had a problem having a conversation.

@fontana. I figured that. I was commenting that the type of people that hitchhike today has changed drastically since the 60’s.

How very interesting. I'd have never thought to do that. Great way to introduce the topic!!

Yeah, you’d have a captive audience! 😀

@Rigel Yes, in today’s climate I wouldn’t pick up anyone. Times have changed. I have also not seen any in years.

There are a lot less hitchhikers than 25 - 30 years ago. The thumb sticking up was more common than it is today.

Today, you take a risk picking up a person on the side of the road or at a gas station/truck stop. You just do not know "why" they are looking for a ride. It is why when you have trouble on the road you are usually on your own. No one is sure why you are there.

Today you can see people traveling the edge of a highway, but in Iowa that is only for the warmer months. They are doing it to travel, not be picked up. Sometimes there is a reason or cause behind their travels. They are followed, or not, by a support crew to promote a cause that they want noticed and awareness for.

@JJM thanks for your comment. It sounded honest and thoughtful. Thank you.
