I’ve taken two breaks of about five years. Both breaks were for relationships and burnout. Or I should say burnout then relationships because this “hobby” stopped being fun and I wanted something with more emotional kick.  
   
 I got back in both times out of boredom and frustration with civilian madness. (Just had a civilian encounter a few weekends ago that felt more like an abduction than sex with each passing hour.)  
   
 Don’t fret over your skillz too much, wildhorse78. The one skill you need is the ability to listen. If me having sex was dependent on my “game,” my pickup skills, I’d still be sexless and fur-palmed. But I do listen fairly well and that definitely helps me get a leg over. (And the more you listen, the more interesting people become. Most people.)  
 

I am deciding on taking a break from the hobby due to funds, I say this now but I don't know if I can hold out for that long, I'm thinking of trying to get girls the old fashioned way but I'm not sure if I have the skillz anymore to do that. Anyways What was the longest break that u fellas have taken from the hobby? And why?

...because before then I could fuck lots of women and nobody cared.  

After that, I fucked my wife, and her alone. for five years, then I decided I really like to fuck other people now and then, so joined TER and P411.  

So fun.

Sorry to hear you're short on funds.  Although I have never really taken a break since I first started, I'll try to answer for the last time I had to put hobbying on the back burner.  

I usually average between two - three weeks between escapades, but there was a time last winter when I caught a flu bug after I came back from Vegas, and it took a couple of weeks to fully recover.  Right after that. the worst part of winter hit, and February weather in the NY area was as nasty as it could get for here for several weeks.  Also, I needed to buy a new car during that period, and we were beginning the busiest stretch of the year at work.  All of my out-of-town friends stayed away due to the extremely bad winter, and many of my local friends skipped town.  I went a month or so between episodes during that, probably as long a period without that I can recall.  Hope that helps.

Mine was about three weeks. Too busy working and things getting in the way. I'm too old and lazy to find women the old fashioned way.

Was when I first started going out with my soon to be wife throughout our dating, engagement and then something like 3-4 years of marriage, so probably 5-6 years.  Hell, I probably would never have started again if I actually had game with civvies.  Of course then there is also the little fact that I'm still married that turns most gals off.  Try to "date" during the day once a week without telling her your address or accepting phone calls after 3pm, lol.

I don't play when I'm in a LTR.  I started after my first marriage ended, then stopped when I got into my next LTR.  When that marriage crashed I started up again.  Since I have no intention of getting into another LTR, I'll only stop for money or health reasons.

as long as it takes to get it up again...

(Though I did visit an MP now and then.)

Now I'm going strong and don't plan a break until my money runs out or my dick falls off; whichever comes first.

The old fashioned way is great but it actually amy be more expensive all things considered. The hobby is a bargain in many ways,
