Basically, there are three categories of hobbyist I can think of:

1. Middle aged married guys that have no sex life with their wives so they find it elsewhere
2. Guys who either are butt ugly or have no confidence to get laid in their private lives
3.  Guys with incurable disease such as herpes or HIV that makes it very hard for them to date in their private life.

So which categories do you guys fall in?

I doubt providers can turn into rabbit boilers.

I fall in category 3 by the way.  It is very surprising how many ladies will dump you once you reveal that you have herpes and they do not.  I have given up on dating.  Hobbying is the way to go!

I fall into none of your categories of dysfunction.

Guys who just love sex with hot, sexy girls for no other reason than
they just love it.  
Which of those first three are you?

Are you saying that  the  providers want you after you reveal
it to them or are you hiding it?  Is that why you are using an alias?
Real nice.

I never reveal it to providers... I am talking about dating civies at one point it is a good idea to reveal but they dump you.. So that's why I stopped dating and only see providers.. And this lawsuit link is all the more reason.  We all johns, and there no way the provider can take it to us.  But likely they already have the disease. Am I right?

I hope you do allow us ladies same consideration as to your civie dates.

It is YOUR responsibility to tell ALL your partners, providers absolutely included, before any sexual activity, so they can decide for themselves whether or not to take the risk and see you.

Not doing so is terribly unethical, arguably sociopathic. If you keep knowledge of an INCURABLE disease from providers and knowingly expose them without their consent, you are putting not just their sexual and reproductive health at risk but are showing that you DO NOT CARE about their livelihoods whatsoever. Many women would quit escorting if they were diagnosed with herpes (some with few other options on the table)- how dare you undermine their ability to provide for themselves and their families.

I *sincerely* hope you're trolling.

Your an a hole unless you tell the girls that you have an issue and it also effects the rest of us who hobby, we get tested regularly, just finished my last negative test. Most people who would test positive for something would refrain if they had a conscience and help protect the girls who have there whole lifes ahead of them (since most are in their early 20's). And also think about the other hobbyist, but I would assume that we have quite a bit of selfish and self centered hoggyist's who only consider their own needs and no one eleses. Anyone who does this knowingly with an agenda as a giant A-Hole.

There was another post on the GD board about this.

I don't fall into any of the three categories in all ways.

I'm middle-aged but not married.  I have lots of sex with civvies and providers, and a lot of why I choose to see a provider comes down to simple convenience and the fact that I can afford it.  I'm not butt-ugly but far from a model, but I get laid plenty.

And I don't have any diseases.

Get castrated if you can't follow that simple rule.

If you think all providers are diseased, maybe you should
find a civvie with herpes at a  herpes support group and marry
her.

He's just an A-hole using an A-lias and a coward at that.

It was only an option for the A-hole with the A-lias.

Yeah, that would be my category. Sex addict? Sure, that label fits too. Love sex with civvies. Love sex with providers. Just love sex, period.

There is one big difference, in my experience:  most providers are light-years better in bed than most civvies, which is probably why I keep hobbying. The best civvie I've ever had would be just slightly above average in the pro game.

That's better than having herpes.

Unlike you, I'm not posting under an alias to cause alarm regarding virus spreads then turn around and send out emails to providers pretending to be law enforcement to scare them when they give me shit on the board.

The girl you fuck with today might know a friend who will fuck you harder tomorrow.

This a-hole is either just trolling, or if he is a complete idiot and actually does have herpes and is causing danger to the entire community. This cannot be tolerated.

If anyone finds out who he truly is, please spread the word to all your provider contacts and tell them he is not to be booked.

Most likely, he is just a lurker, who has never even seen a provider.  Just trying to get attention.

I read that virtually all the actors in porn have herpes.  dont know what the percentage in providers is.  70% of people with herpes dont have symptoms and have no way of knowing unless they get a blood test.  Herpes can shed even when there are no symptoms.  The good news is that with condom use a man has a 2% probability of conrtacting it over the course of a year assuming he has sex twice a week.   Play safe

Post like this are the direct reason I have curtailed my 'hobbying' , even with all time favs. I'm bug free, and get checked regularly, but I figure I been playing Russian Roulette in terms of catching something.  The fear waking up one morning with a hanker on lip, after 12 yrs of marriage, and trying to explain it, has just knocked the enjoyment out of it. Plus to pass something to an innocent party, like my significant other, would be too much to bare.
I agree with Harlowe, informing someone, whether a date or a provider is the responsible thing to do.
But I digress....

I'm 32, 6'1 and 185 lean, 31 inch waist and tan skin.  I love sex with different types of women and I want NO attachment after we fuck, have sex or make love.  I don't want phone calls, emails, or texts 100 times a day.  I want to have fun with NO strings attached.   Ask the women I have seen.  Sexual Sasah and Sarah Jessie loves to fuck me.

I saw Sarah Jessie the other day. Amazing. She didn't remember you, though.
