I plan things out based on a number of factors and if the situation ends up being longer than I usually take between sessions then I usually just wait it out. But I have a pretty good imagination and memory of past encounters to help fill in the gaps.
Today I was trudging through my workday, succeeding in not strangling the idiots I have to interact with, when through the fog of stress came the thought, "God. I need to get some." Happily, I was able to make that happen and during the drive home I was cogitating and came to the conclusion that I had hit my limit, which is about two and a half weeks. I'm not in a relationship, so it's just providers and my good friend, Mr. Right (Hand). For me, it's at about two and a half weeks that taking care of myself just doesn't cut it anymore and I start plotting my next hobby outing.
What is it for my fellow board contributors? And I know there are variables involved. Some hobbyists have more significant resources than others, so they presumably never hit the point. But as a thought experiment, say because of work or home responsibilities or whatever, you end up going without for a while. How long before you're reading the same thing on your monitor for half an hour? How long until you start staring at your bank account and timing out bills, thinking about withdrawing past your comfortable level because of...needs? And this is not time from last provider to next; it's time from last provider to the moment the next provider becomes necessary
I have gone as long as 2 years and as short as 12 hours between visits. Life, time, work, and other priorities came first.
Recently it has averaged ~55 days between visits. (my review is not indicative of this as I like to stick with a tried and true plan A and a few plan B, C, D should things not go my way. By the time I reach E, it's time for sleep.

i'm in vorlons camp actually, but it's also like chinese food. Sometimes after partaking and it's just "so so..." i don't want it within a week, but if it's been really spectacular, i'm planning the next time MUCH SOONER, like he next day!
For me it is about a month between visits....
But sometimes I get stressed as hell and need it ASAP. But typically is a month between providers.
I end up scheduling my next appointment before I leave the session I'm at. But those appointments are usually 2-4 weeks out.
Otherwise it depends on how busy I am with other things.
"Can you do three weeks from next Thursday at 2:53pm for an hour? **checking calendar on cell** Oh wait I have a conference call to coach my associate on how to talk old people out of their life savings at that time... We'll have to do the Tuesday after for a quick 45 min at 6:12pm" Work and the wife & kids are such a cock block, huh Bud?
seriously you are just clueless
