Is the actual HPT test hard in Victoria? I did a set of practice ones on the Transport Victoria website and some were insanely ridiculous and were unfair questions. I know the passing criteria is only 13/25 but how hard would you say it is to get at least 13 right?

It used to be a major thing with every course that an exam would be for every subject and contribute the most, but now most subjects (even some engineering ones) and even a lot of courses don't have any? Is it because people don't perceive them as a way of regurgitating old information?

I'm 19M and was spending my day at university. The university I go to is in a separate CBD located an hour away from where I live so I don't know anyone from my home suburb that go there. Being a young legal adult I was so keen on losing my virginity just like anyone else my age. I would sometimes go to nightclubs with my friends with the intention of meeting and getting with girls. My friends almost never even tried to meet any. I made out with several but never got anywhere far in terms of sex. My horniness was getting to me where I was really desperate to have sex whether it lose actual penetrative sex or just oral sex.

I was like "f*ck it" and planned to have sex in a brothel. I did research on where I could go to have sex and in the city where I go to university, there were two brothels. One was a renowned brothel in the city that had been around since the 1950's and the other was an Asian-run business. I decided to go to the former since the latter apparently had some negative reviews online where visitors reported getting STI's and grew "plants" in the bedrooms. And it was also more expensive so I want to the other one which was a 15 minute walk away from my university. It had great reviews for the most part with the only negative reviews being that the sex workers often rushed clients but the women seemed very young and attractive.

I want to note that sex work is legal in Victoria as long as it's licensed, the workers conduct regular health checks and isn't located within a certain distance from schools (excluding post-secondary).

I had to plan this out elaborately since I didn't want to get caught. If my parents ever found out they would kill me. So I planned this out thoroughly. I first needed money and while I have my own credit card, my dad can see what I spend since he gives me money so I had to use cash. I had some cash in my wallet but I didn't want to make it look suspicious so I did something which I regret which was taking money from my brothers wallet. My brother is 16 and pretty lazy when it comes to money. he doesn't have a job and every time he gets money from somewhere he stuffs it all in his wallet and doesn't bother checking it since our parents give us both money and he uses his card which is on his phone. I remember looking online at the rates and saw that there was an $100 option call "bl*w and go" for 20 minutes which is pretty self explanatory in terms of what it offers. I decided I was going to receive oral sex which was the first and only form of sex I have ever received. I took only about $70 as to not make it look suspicious, not that it would be suspicious anyway since my brother already had over $1000 in his wallet and literally hadn't checked it in months. When I opened it when he wasn't home it was covered in dust. I covered the difference with my own cash.

The next day I decided to during my 2 hour break between lectures and seminars. However not wanting my parents to see on Life360 should they were to check it I hid my phone in my locker to make it look like I was still at uni when I actually wasn't. I stuffed my bag in there and everything except for the money in my pocket and rushed to the brothel. As I was getting closer to the brothel my heart was pounding because I was so nervous and so excited. I put my hood right as I was about to enter and waited so that no people could see me since it was a very busy area.

I went in to the brothel and was greeted by an old lady who was the administrator of the place and she sat me down in a bedroom where the sex workers on shift would introduce themselves. There were two. One was a slightly older Singaporean lady with large t*t's who made me nervous. I ended up blurring out the words "I like you t*t's" and I kid you not, she grabbed my hand and placed them on her left one. It was the first time I had ever laid my hands on a woman's t*t's. She then left and the next one introduced herself. She was a tattooed Aussie girl in her late 20's. She was flatter but I found her more attractive and went with her.

I was told to shower before we started then she came in and took her dress off and was completely naked. After I finished showering I asked to f*ndle her and she was okay with that but I wasn't allowed to kiss her unless I paid an extra $20 which I didn't have. I paid her the money and started touching her and it was the first time I had ever seen a fully naked woman. After about 2 minutes of touching she told me to take my pants off and I had my p*nis out which was half erect. I was aroused by so nervous and so cold and she put the condom on me. Eventually she began her work and it felt like my soul was being vacuumed out of me. After about 2 minutes I c*me and showered after that. It was the greatest experience of my life at that point.

When I left I rushed back to uni to go to my seminar and while waiting for class to start I was reflecting on what just happened. A part of me felt a sense of relief, happiness and closure but another part of me started to regret what happened. I was questioning whether or not it was worth losing my virginity over a paid sex worker and was thinking about if doing it with someone I love was better which I assume it would be anyway. Nobody knew and I don't think my brother knew. I tried reassuring myself by telling myself I didn't technically lose my virginity since oral sex supposedly doesn't count and that I had already made-out with several other girls at clubs anyway so I wouldn't have that experience of my first kiss being with a girl I loved and wanted to be with.

I went on reddit with my old account and starting asking about it on random subs and most people were expectedly negative. I have grown to get over it and think of it as not a big deal but this is something I would have definitely have reconsidered.
