in reference to the previous thread..i have a question..do any of us think we can truly retire and walk away from this hobby? or will that temptation be there till our dying day?..

...what would it take to retire?  Maybe a financial calamity that made it impossible to spend the money?  But finding/being with the right person doesn't seem to be enough to call it quits.  I have felt like quitting after a particularly bad experience or two.  But the feeling passed.  

Old hobbyists will never die.  They'll just fade away.

Two years ago this month I began my p4p activities. Nearly 64, I'm a late bloomer!
As I ease into retirement I'm going to have to moderate things a bit. Twice a month may be too much.
But I don't see getting out entirely an option right now. I keep meeting too many wonderful women.

No.. I started only 8 months ago... at 1st twice a week... now I am trying to slow down to once a month (not being too successful)... but I will have to plan the cost...

Have no intention in retiring from the hobby any time soon.  I'm now 67 and still enjoying my time with the lovely ladies I see.

Dear Kay:
Due to the fact that everything seems to be okay with you, would you say that the women that you would meet in your age bracket can't keep up with you or do you like the variety of women that you encounter in a pay for play situation?

I will retire when I no longer enjoy the ladies, or hell freezes over whichever  occurs first. I'm 73 and still seeing the ladies once or twice a week.

I have an SO. It's not that she can't keep up with me, she can. She could if she wanted to.
She doesn't want to. She has zero interest and I don't push it. Maybe it's me but I don't think so.
Her libido has left the building. Wonderful lady otherwise. Therefore, I p4p and enjoy the wonderful variety the Chicago scene offers. I'm so very glad I found my way to TER.

From work at 62 last year! Have since taken a part time job to keep my sanity and provide play time resources!
I have slowed down and prefer extended dates with ATF's so as to experience the true romantic connection

I didn't start until 66 y.o. My significant other couldn't take a role any more in what used to be our sexual life. Frankly, I am thankful to the women who meet my/our "special needs". Likewise, the Aspirin carry is good advice.

Bravo, dude!

This hobby is to much fun!

work to stay active and alert.  As far as see the ladies, as long as my equipment works, I will continue to enjoy providers.
