I would assume even being exclusive with a provider would be considering quitting the hobby?  Myself personally I expected it to be a lot more difficult then it's been but so far it's been about a month since I've seen my last provider.  I thought I'd at least wean myself off or something, but, I just haven't been that interested and my priorities have somewhat changed.

Makes it odder that I've received a bunch of out of the blue texts with some rather tempting come back to mommy offers as well as a couple previous sugar relationships trying to rekindle.

Easy Answer:  If a provider or hobbyist acquires a non-treatable sexually transmitted disease (or represents a significant health-risk to other members of the community), they should immediately leave the hobby.

Slow-Down Answer:  If I make a misjudgment in my research (i.e., see a provider with inflated reviews offering poor quality service), I almost always take a significant break from the hobby.

Long-Term Answer:  I hope that I do not quit the hobby. Although all hobbyists have bummer experiences, some of the moments and short-term connections I have experienced in the hobby have been incredible. I am always evaluating ways to enhance my performance (per my standards and expectations).

Not until I find someone that can satisfies me both sexually and mentally/emotionally and I the same for her. I get my sexually needs met through the hobby, along with some great conversations. When I can find that special someone that fulfills my needs she will be at lest as horny as I am. So that means will will need a playmate or two once in awhile.

Easy answer for me

When/if I find a significant other friends with benefits or whatever you want to call it when I cannot perform any more (boy will that be a sad day LOL ) so hobbying could be a long-term or a short-term thing for me so time will tell I guess. But I only know one thing for sure, I'm not going without sex for a long period ever again don't want to don't have to can't make me nuff said!!! LOL

There are lots of possible reasons.  Health (including the possibility of dying to put it bluntly), serious financial setbacks, meeting someone and deciding to pursue a serious relationship with her, a change that makes me conclude the risks of hobbying have grown to great, etc.

I think its like a lot of things, I'll know its time to quit when that time comes.  If any of several factors mentioned comes into play, those events could lead to "quitting".  Altho, for now, its rock on!  

When the hobby becomes too expensive, which it did during the recession. When the sting operations scare the hell out of you like they did back then. Hard to get back on the horse again since all of my reviews are ancient history and none of the providers I saw can give references. It's interesting to see that there is still one hobbyst whose knick I recognize

If the opportunity presented itself to have what has been missing in my life ... and the conditions were favorable ... I would be strongly temped to give up this hobby and try civilian life again.

It seems like a long shot, but I am a romantic man. I hope to find that perfect partner someday.
In the meantime ...
