I think it's fair to say, it's just the civvie lady you met maybe mixed in with the situation. Providers, the great providers out there are indeed great. For sure. There are just some limitations that make it difficult to compare really to the possibilities in the civvie world. Depending on how your civvie world experience(s) is (are) as far as time limit, comfortability and such and compared with your provider experiences in the same areas. If you get where Im going. Sounds like your civvie experience wasn't too much different from a provider experience as far as familiarity with each other and maybe time constraints too. Providers or civvies, they are still ladies with lives and experiences of the such that can make the experience good or bad or better than most for you. I for one don't see much of a difference between the chances of a good experience or not between the two! Providers are civvie ladies and some civvie ladies just as well are providers basically. The gift handling is just a tad bit different but it's there a lot of the times! Surely is!
As far as experience and knowing how to "treat" a man or how ever you want to phrase it, it just depends on the lady, you and CHEMISTRY. At least for me. Provider and Civvie, equally the same. Take 50 "provider"experiences and 50 "civvie" experiences, you're more than likely going hit the same percentage of good and bad for you unless you're a 17 year old and all that is required is a blow in your ear to wow you. Lol.
Providers are mostly greater on average (as a comparison to civvies) when it comes down to boundaries being respected at all times. That's about it. Of course depending on the lady and you

There are surely a lot of "pros" in the purely civvie world. Married civvie ladies included or so I've been told. Lol.
Good luck and if you want to keep your status as married, I think I would stay with the Providers. Oh yeah!

So, after 20 years of marriage, I've had my first extra-marital affair this week. If you check my submitted reviews here, you'll see that I've been with a few women from here in the past, so, yes, I've "cheated" before. However, I've limited it to escorts. So, this past week, I ended up hooking up with a woman outside the hobby. The experience was less that satisfying, compared to the sweet "pros" I've met from here. Now, I understand that everyone is different and it could have just been the situation and the woman I was with, but I don't know. Even going back to when I was single, I don't think I've ever had as much fun with a woman as I have with one within the hobby. Any thoughts anyone?
