I was in my early 20s and was having no trouble having social sex (it was the 60s.) but I was having trouble getting a BDSM itch scratched. I ran across an ad for a domme. I met her and she looked at me and made some comments about how turned-on she was because of my age etc. Eventually I was performing DATO with my hands restrained and she was having climaxe after climax and I (early 20s) was doing much the same. It was great and went on for a longtime. I was in NY for the summer and saw her a few more time. Decades later, when I was in an unsatisfactory marriage, I remembered those sessions and found TER. I was going to NOLA and hooked up with someone on TER. She was great and we had a long and very satisfying session and I have stayed int he hobby every since.
Between marriages I had accumulated many friends with benefits and girl friends off and on, but there was always something about the providers I met that was different and very satisfying. Now, in my 70s, happily married and recently broken up with a years long girl friend, I am back enjoying the hobby.
Hobbyist and Providers!
How long have you been in the Hobby Lifestyle/Occupation and why did you decide to officially take the plunge?
Kisses,
Miss Lola Luxe
bangin the old ladies for free when I could bang the young ladies for a fee.
About 15 years, not real active but ...
Feet up in the recliner, piles of books on either side, guarding the TV remote like a hound over a bone, TV on mute, Phone to ear, no dinner, no companionship!
I keep trying, but I just need the whole GFE thing, not just 30 year old memories.
Ya'll have a happy day. I will have a great day planning my next visit.
Keep on smiling

... I hate civie dating and civie sex. Nothing like struggling to get laid and then the sex sucks or is mediocre. Not to mention the melodrama. Pure sex. Date and time of my choosing. Can't beat that.
About 14 years ago, and it was the life-style that attracted me. I love the fact that you set your worth, pick what services you provide, only work when you want, and meet lots of new people traveling. I started back in college, but now I have a family, so this is more of a hobby for me that I come back to every now & then because of the fun factor.
at an airport who offered to pay me to take me to a formal event he had to attend. I took to it like a duck to water! It's been many years now. I've had other jobs/positions in the real world along the way for differing periods, but this is always in the background. I quit completely for two years- what I thought would be forever (and I was sad about it!)- but found my way back here. :
Too long (LOL), but currently, I enjoy the hobby much better than playing the dating game in the civvie world.
I actually got started in the hobby out of curiosity when I discovered the legal brothels in Nevada back in 2000. Being pretty much married to my career back in those early days, I had no time for dating, so P4P fit into my lifestyle very well. It got even better when I discovered TER, a couple of years later ...and the rest is history! 
I have a great sexy marriage but after 20 years of monogamy I was depressed about how much fun I was missing in life. I live in a small enough town that trolling for civvies might have caused embarrassment at home, so I never did that. Hobbying was my perfect option, so when I discovered TER my life changed for the better in so many ways.
got my first "girlfriend experience" in Saigon in '68. Cost just under two greenbacks. Girlfriend experience back then meant "without condom".... enjoyed the scene in Vietnam, the Philippines, and Okinawa... so for a lot of years it depended on where I was working at the time... in the middle east there were a lot of young girls who would sell their butthole for just about nothing but never the coochie - they could be stoned to death on their wedding night if it was not "intact"..... that was so dismal I could not bring myself to partake... central America was awesome especially after we displaced Noriega. A year long party..... great smoke and lots of pretty women - many Columbianas came in for the trade... Any time I was visiting the great Mediterranean port cities of Napoli or Marseilles there was fine company available but you had to watch your back.... in Europe I've come to love the FKK clubs and the scene in the Czech Republic Poland and St Petersburg... I've had some great times in London as well and some exotic times in Honk Kong, Istanbul, and Tashkent.... have to be careful in the latter two.... I originally took the plunge as you put it because I was a whitebread kid in a strange land far away and I was lonely. I keep at it because I like variety and because I love to fuck varieties women whom I would not normally encounter socially.....
Why? Because I wanted to have sex!
became a necessity to keep my sanity, meaning, taking the edge off of being so horny.
So compared to most of the other respondents above I'm a relative newbie. I am happily married and love sex with my wife. So I'm not sexually frustrated by any means, but I found that through hobbying I could get even more great sex so I'm obviously not going to turn that opportunity down.
I travel for work very frequently and so I have plenty to opportunity to play outside of my home city. Being married, it's way too risky to get involved with a civvie girl, so the hobby is the perfect out for me.
Plus sex with professional providers is waaay better than sex with civvie girls. Been with some civvie girls where we got up to the room and their pussies were so stinky I damn near puked while DATY. And some civvie girls just don't know how to fuck. Providers on the other hand, especially the well reviewed ones, are always clean and fresh and the sex is just OMG...
I started providing 3 going on 4 yrs ago.
I had been seeking employment for sometime at this point. Everyplace in the area and within a 45 minute commute told me they weren't hiring or I was over qualified for the positions available; I was writing "entry level" on the position desired section. I would have picked fly shit out of black pepper if that was the position available. Lol (joking)
I was complaining about this to a friend who then invites me to work with her doing 4 handed FBSM appointments. I took her up on the offer and realized how much I really enjoyed my work and stopped looking elsewhere. I later stepped out on my own, but glad my friend invited me in the beginning.
and I'm 22 this year.
I haven't done it straight since 18 though, I needed some extra cash and got into this.. went to school and kinda got outta it until I was 19. That's when I did it seriously until moving out to Phoenix, and now here I am. Almost 22, and (hopefully) doing well for myself.
It was difficult to be a provider in Toronto, I feel like I'm more successful in Phoenix.
