I'm not asking how often you're horny or how often you can afford to hobby, or for the providers, how much you need to work vs want to work.

2 to 4 times a month.  This leaves time to see one or two new girls each week.

For me I guess the ideal is when I have two favorites and just alternate, seeing each about once a month. Or at least that's how it's been a lot of the time. Maybe I'm changing a little in that regard.

OK, I've been providing since January of this year so I have collected data since then. While it's not totally empirical exact  research, I got some figures for you:  

I don't think I have a sweet spot.  It's more or less whenever the mood strikes me.  Sometimes it may be once per month or as long as once in 2-3 months.  Then when I'm on vacation, I may be seeing providers every other day or if it's a hobbying vacation, I might see someone everyday.

Well IMHO, you are probably pretty close to the mark to tell the truth.

at least once a week.. sometimes twice (last week)... no one this week but a double scheduled for Monday and my GF later in the week..  

As long as you have enough regulars that is. lol

She could be totally taken care of for life, if she wants. All she has to do is marry me

Renew my appreciation of living in an area where there are more choices every month than I can possibly make time to see. My business travels mostly take me to major cities, but once in awhile I end up in a place where there are few choices, so I can sympathize with your frustration.  Have you tried Viet nail salons?  Oftentimes, there are girls up for a weekend romp for some extra cash.

I need to see her once a week if my schedule allows. It would be more if I could. We never run out of things to talk about and spend the majority talking. Not the usual relationship most have.

The last girl I actually fell for owned a couple of nail salons, I have no desire to repeat that fiasco. lol

Hm I don't see nothing wrong with "just sex". Don't know about anybody else but I don't lack companionship nor people to talk to. I live in a house that is full of family and relatives. I work a job that deals with the public everyday.  

How active my wife is and what is going on with friends with benefits.

choices on who to see. I live in a virtual hobby wasteland so my encounters are usually over 100 mile drive one way.

the rest of the month I fill in with one time only providers while sampling what's available.  like to try different types. tall, short, busty, various colors and ethnic types

My fave regulars do weekly or biweekly visits, often two hour visits. For guys i'e seen before, its never "what new in your life talk" that's kind of boring, we might do that for a bit, but then we talk real world stuff, politics, wold events, more like old friends less like unfamiliar acquaintances. I prefer clients I can have an actual conversation with.

for me.

I have a few regulars in my home town that I try to see when I'm home at least every two to three weeks. I travel to a few cities fairly regularly and have regulars that I see at least once while I'm there, every 3 months or so.

Is plenty for me of the same girl. Much more and it seems like a commitment, which I loathe.

It all depends on when the windows of opportunity present themselves. Sometimes I'll have two free weekends in a row to see a favorite lady, and sometimes I won't be able to see them for six months. Sometimes longer if her vacations correspond to my free playtime. Interestingly enough, with those who have become favorites, we never run out of things to talk about. Not too long ago, a business trip took me right past the door of a favorite lady. I saw her coming, and going. Actually, it was going, and coming.
