I've wondered the same, myself. I also ask myself about the potential, long-term duration of my current involvement in the hobby. Is my current involvement merely just a phase I am going through at present because of some rocky times in the marriage and a temporary fulfillment of sexual and emotionally needs otherwise not being met? Probably YES. Or am I the consummate horndog always on the prowl for newer and younger flesh and, therefore, in the hobby for the long term. Probably NO, I am not the latter. I realized long, long ago that l could never, would never f*ck all the beautiful women in the world in my one lifetime, even if I could afford to do so. And another realization has come to pass, one that more than a few hobbyists have noted on this board: that one can spend a fortune on the many lovely providers out there, money that now or never will be available for our own retirements. Even if one can sustain the physical stamina, most of us hobbyists will not likely be able to sustain the expense inherent in this hobby. Some hobbyists have commented here that they have spent the equivalent of a BMW on the ladies (perhaps even more)! At some point in one's life,the absurdity of that realization strikes home! As London so kindly and periodically reminds us guys, sex is a luxury, not a necessity (although it can sometimes seem otherwise). I, therefore, tend to agree that at some point sometime soon, most of us baby boomers will be moving on with only our pleasant memories to entertain ourselves with a resultant drop in demand for providers as a smaller, less affluent demographic group follows and eventually replaces us.

.... I believe that the majority of hobbyist are in the 40+ range and are the end of the baby boom generation. As boomers age (usually starting around 46 YO) they start cutting back on spending and luxury items in particular. I think bedding a hot lady for $$$ to $$$$$$ an hour is certainly a luxury. So there is going to be a big cutback on hobbying from the largest sector of providers market base. The law of supply and demand will push prices down until ladies get out because the money isn't so EZ anymore or they drop their prices. There will always be a market at the hi end because there will always be a rich hobbyist but that is a small percentage of this market.
They are also going to deal with the law of diminishing returns. Let's face it. Once you figured out this TER site it was pretty EZ to find some really hot ladies and at price you could afford. The question is is the rush as good from the first 5 times you did this versus 20, 25, etc. I've heard from several long term hobbyist that are getting bored with the whole scene. Again there certainly exceptions to the rule. To some mongers this is a need not a luxury. But for most of us this is an elastic demand item. If we are flush with cash we may induldge. If not there is always your SO (yeah I know not the same) or rosy palm.
There will always be more hobbyist coming along as well as providers but a lot of them will be strapped with high student loans and a stagnant job market. So the hobbyist won't have much money to play with and possibly thee new providers are doing this to pay off those loans. I could be wrong but it's really hard to change demographics and the way people spend money during their lifetime.
