This thought came to mind a couple of days ago.  I was wondering when is the perfect time to exit stage right.  Is it best to leave the hobbie when your hot, or when your not?  At the same time I was wondering about the Gents, when is it time to say goodbye to the hobbie and take up crossword puzzles.  Don't get me wrong, I love my older friends but when they start forgetting appointments and other things don't work, I wonder.....
Has this happened to you?

As long as my health is perfect, and my phone keeps ringing I don't think I will ever hang it up.

I can't comment on the gentlemens standpoint. So I'm hoping a few will chime in as well.

As with everything in life when any of the following are met you should call it quits
You no longer enjoy what you are doing
When it interferes with your responsibilities
If it is getting out of control
If becoming an obsession
When you feel it is time to move onto something else
When you are unable to perform
BEFORE YOU DO HARM TO YOURSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE
Any additions that anyone can come up with?

So you want a comment from a gent? ok then - Not all providers can keep it fun and exciting. They get in the "routine" of it all and start thinking they can keep it "flying" on auto-pilot. So when that happens, most of us quit calling. It only takes one time (at least for me it does). Remember- it suppose to keep getting better the longer you know the gent. You will know when its time call it a day.

I am 37 and started this hobby in my teens and don't see myself ever completely stepping away from the hobby.  hopefully I have a long way to go!

Elle, I have Type-II diabetes. I'm 50 years old. Other things stopped working years ago, but I found a remedy for that. So from a hobbiest POV, as long as I enjoy the company of ladies, and as long as ladies will see me, I can't put an end date on it.

And as far as providers go, well... as long as they want to keep at it, I say go for it. Mature women are beautiful.

I don't think I will ever completely stop seeing providers.  

Generally speaking, for me it is about the overall experience and not just the sex.  I know of several gentlemen who engage escorts simply as dinner companions and I could definitely see going that route.

I am in my mid 50's and prefer women in the 40 to 50 year range.  One provider I have seen several times is a grandmother.  My concern is that as I get older, providers will leave the business and the remaining providers will be too far out of my age range to be of interest.

I believe the time to hang up your hobby shoes - for the ladies as well as for the gents - is when the hobby no longer meets your needs.  this is a simple and bottom-line truth, applicable to most things in life.

in order to more specifically answer the question "when?", therefore, one must honestly evaluate one's motivations for participating in the first place.  for the ladies:  is it the money?  then get out when the phone stops ringing.  is it because you truly love what you do (the sexual gratification, the admiration of many men, the social aspect, or something else)?  then keep on keeping on, as long as it continues to happen for you -  and more power to you!

for the gentlemen: is it about the "nut"?  the conquest?  the companionship of a beautiful, desirable woman?  the intimacy?  if you hobby to meet a physical need, perhaps it's time to find another hobby when things no longer work as well as they once did; HOWEVER, if your body is failing you, but you truly crave companionship and intimacy...find a lovely, understanding (and probably mature) woman with whom to spend your hobby time and resources.  there ARE women in the hobby who seek the same things you do, and who love to provide such an experience...regardless of the functionality of your plumbing.  I have clients with whom I share the most intimate and fulfilling of time together - and we've never done the so-called "deed".

easy question, Elle, and an easy answer.

"Old Soldiers never Die They Just Fade Away." Well, in this case I will interprit that as a single guy and pretty mych resigned to the idea that I will die single. I will quit hobbying when my body and mind start to find other things interisting. I do have lots on my plate nowadays with my career, my hobbies, my personal projects, etc. However, I still have the time, money and desire to pick a flavor of the week and enjoy her company. The day will come when the posts and reviews from 808transplant start becoming few and far between.  

For most ladies, this serves 2 purposes, exploring your sexuality and being a means of financial support.  The minute one or both of theose needs is no longer a concern, it is probably time to think about new things.

For men, it is a hobby.  Hobbies, by design, help fill some type of void in our lives.  As with all things, once that void is filled or replaced with something else, it is time to move on.   Personally, the minute you stop thinking about the lady and only yourself, move on.  That is what fleshlights are for.

80% mental, I'd say the time to stop is when you lose the mental capacity for eroticism and sensuality.

Anyone invested fully in both should have a rich sensual journey well into their Golden years. The key is finding someone to share that with. Too many focus almost exclusively on how many positions or how long they can thrust, missing out on all the wonderful nuances touch, scent, sound, and a generally open disposition can bring.

great minds think alike, lover.  my post is in pre-mod, and echoes what you say here.  :smile:

don't work for them, or they no longer enjoy the moment of being naked in the company of a beautiful woman who is also naked. Or at least that's my plan.

I plan to expire in orgasmic bliss with a beautiful courtesan sitting on my face smothering me as I come in the love of my life's mouth - I will succumb to another world from a heart failure & lack of air

until then I train constantly in anticipation that day.

my demise almost came prematurely with Elle a year or so ago - what a collision...

and you no longer derive pleasure or happiness from these encounters. Most everything has been said in previous posts in this thread. Instinctively, I think you just know when it's time to make a change, and I don't think the time is ever perfect or it matters if your hot or not. The decision is not as life changing for us gents as it is for you ladies. For us it is just a hobby. We can stop and start w/o consequences. For you ladies, the decision is more complicated. For a good majority of the ladies, this is a business. It's work. It allows you to live a certain lifestyle. Its how you pay you bills, support your family, etc. It gives you independence. Many of us guys recognize and appreciate the work you girls do, just as many of you girls appreciate our business and our circumstances.
If I ever forget I have an appointment, it is certainly time for me to zip it up and play shuffleboard.

I've found the one, italo79, but hobbying is still allowed! She's been the love of my life for almost 24 years now.

I was more talking for me faxinator. Once I find the one I want to spend the rest of my life with she will have all my attention and dedication. I know other relationships are more open and I don't have anything against it ...

No, I understood, italo79. Ours didn't become "open" until we were married for nearly 20 years.

I have to say... a hard dick is nice but, certainly not necessary
for a hot, memorable & SEXY encounter.

Well, I can make my dick hard... and it lasts for three and a half hours once I do, regardless of how many times I pop. But... there are plenty of times I have sex, especially with my wife, when I don't use the injection. She loves oral, and I can go down on her for 45 minutes or longer without tiring, and make her cum twice or three times.

And there's a LOT to be said for sensual touch, for arousing conversation, for kisses in the right places (and I don't mean DATY).

So when it comes to a memorable experience, that's something that two people can have without penis into vagina. In fact, maybe WITHOUT P-into-V it becomes even more memorable.

God, I love women. Especially intelligent, sensual, mature, wise women.

So ....if you like Sex,party!!! have fun and be a free spirit!!!!!!! like me.........
in my case with my crazy personality.............
i don't recomend it....cause i will retired and then  will missed The Good life and come back....


Now if you really dont like it no more..and you want to have a quiet life....Its also apceptable......

you have to stay quite.....and really listen to your heart?? and ask yourself from the bottom of your heart....what you want???   and if youre really happy.....or will like to make some changes.

For me im okey....i said it all already ill be fucking arounf for while....but only God....has the last statement.......we can make lots pf plans for the future...but the only one that really has a plan is God!!!
so for know im going to follow my heart be happy....and believe that he has the best plan for me....and im sure for all of us......muaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.kisses

For ladies: your call. There probably is a market for every age!

For me: Since I have no personal moral objection (in other words, I don't think I am doing anything wrong, neither are the providers), I can see myself doing it until no one would see me!
