My attempts at a new relationship floundered due to the difficulty of finding someone I was interested in who was both available and interested in me.  So, I ended up getting into P4P (strip clubs initially) because celibacy sucked.

It's been quite the ride and very enjoyable.  I lucked out in getting started in what I consider a golden age.  Met a lot of great ladies.

I'd been laid off a well paying job, run out of unemployment (was part of the 'jobless recovery' in 2003), had started a virtual assistant business that wasn't sufficient yet to float 2 households and a random google for flowers led me to FBSM. I'd thought about stripping but didn't like the public facing aspect and the inability to control who walked in the doors. Well gee, if I could make $150/hr for a nude rub-n-tug.... (more googling) oh wait ... I'm already naked and touchy-touchy and if I just do the thing, then I can make $250/hr! I've always been very sexually 'open' anyway so... done!🤩🥳

I spent 6yrs completely UTR building both businesses (and starting a third) and traveling the country before I decided to 'go public' in 2009 with face-in pics/reviews/website/advertising. Not long after that I sold the virtual assistant business (had 30 contractors and accounts across the country) and focused on EC and the other biz.... then eventually sold that and just enjoyed this side of life. Way less stress, way more fun, way more flexibility, for similar pay.

Regrets... going on hiatus in 2013 to pursue a corporate thing. I'd juggled this and self-employment before but let myself get fear-mongered into thinking I couldn't juggle this and a corporate thing. I could have dialed this side back and made it fit around the other biz and that would have changed a lot of the difficulties that followed. As far as regrets around things *within* this realm.... aside from learning/growing pains (present in any industry/profession) ....absolutely none.
