Do you have 1 provider or two you rotate?

I have a very small number of people that I visit as regularly as I can. It's an interesting question and I'm waiting to see what others have to say about it.

Same here!!

Is 6 to 10 considered exclusive?

one regular for years; occasional other but never as frequent

Have 1 SB that I am exclusive with. She is poly and I am open to something. Haven't tried a threesome yet with her.

Since I retired I have settled in on seeing two to three different gals in town----it is different when you are traveling to various cities---when I was traveling a lot I tried to get set up with a gal in each city that would be my regular when in town---all for convenience, familiarity, and reduced possibility of something going wrong---like the police or a pimp  !

Last year I saw three providers in rotation, all of whom I’d known for 9-12 years. Then one retired, so I’m down to two. I sometimes see someone new who looks interesting, but so far I haven’t found anyone who compares to my two go-to ladies in consistently excellent service at a reasonable cost.

Friends with mutual benefits.

I see someone about 12x year for now 11 years and there’s a great comfort level and predictability, including her tendency to cancel on short notice- but I keep going back. There is one other I see about 5x year. Maybe 2-3 x year I see someone new.

Not for me, but my long term friends are dear dear people to me.    

I don't know what it is about this game but long-term friendships definitely happen. I still have a handful of good friend I first met on the boards here. I think if you're able to enjoy an outlaw lifestyle it's a powerful thing to have in common.

I have had them all semi-exclusive, totally exclusive & off the market.  

I am in a marriage, among whose primary features seems to be exclusion.  
So I fill in the gap with paid sex, and try to be quite non-exclusive about it.  
I learned my lesson; I don't want another exclusive relationship.

I have a long time girlfriend who is married but separated, living apart from her husband. She won’t divorce. As sex has come physically difficult for her, I’ve explored numerous options over the years to bring balance into my life. While I’ve seen a few providers several times, I enjoy meeting new women, enjoying the different skills they offer.
