I have been married for 20+ years to my true love.

Over the last few years, I've seemed to have lost her somewhere amongst the kids, business, grandkids, cancer, alzheimers, booze, and boredom.

If I could bring her back, I would quit in a heartbeat.

Just my opinion...

So, of the present 62% that said 'yes', they would leave the hobby if they found their true love, what percentage of that do you think were the guys, and what percent were the girls?

What I don't understand is that a lot of people in this "hobby"  are married and have already found the love of their life supposedly.  Did they answer no to the question?  

While I have never been married, I have found that I did cut down or almost stop altogether when I had an SO.  However, I would "never say never".  The question isn't worded as to say leave the hobby forever though.

I would think that a great many would be women. However, i always just assumed that there were alot more men on this site than women, so who knows.

A better question might actually be how many would be true to their answer down the road, say in a year or 2. For some reason i wouldn't expect those numbers to be very high at all.

Personally, i answered no, but my views on things are rather unorthodox and i don't see where "love" and "monogamy" have anything to do with one another.

Based on stupid stereotypes, I would say the majority of the women would say yes they would leave.

But then I would be stupid in my assumption. LoL

I said no. Because if I met my true love she would be into it. Or she would be participating. Or I would be a big liar! LoL

How about you? Will/Would you leave?

I answered "yes" to the poll question.  See my post under "The One We Haven't Met Yet" a few threads up for the explanation.

Thanks, Harry.
Your response means alot.
Unfortunately, the nature of Alzheimers may make that impossible.
We are together now, just one of us isn't fully aware of it.

I would guess (in answer to what I think is your real question, rather than the one you posed) that the percentage of men who said yes is about equal to the percentage of women who said yes.

Those who said yes are the "romantics", and they come in both genders, of course.  Unfortunately, probably some of the women who said yes are the womem who really don't want to be providers, and who should therefore LEAVE THE BIZ NOW.

I and lots of other guys don't want to have sex with providers who don't want to be providers.

what I meant in my last post was that I think the majority of the 62 percent of people that would quit the business if they found love would be "men."

I hope that clarifies my last post. I just left out the word "majority".

Hugs,
Ciara

but love and sex are not the same.  Most guys, or gals for that matter, don't want to have salsa night for the rest of their lives.

I answered no to this poll.... I have true love at home...unfortunately as I near my peak he just keeps slipping further and further away from his. Since I have taken my "uncontrollable urges" elsewhere we get along famously and I am so much easier to live with.Life is so much nicer when you aren't suffering from severe sexual frustration!
