Things sure change in life and so do things in this world of pfp. When I first started it was one hr only sessions then 2 hrs which I though was a long time then 3hrs which is now my norm. I thought I would never do a dinner date as I thought it would just not be worth the time nor money but now have enjoyed many with a lovely lady in a 5 to 6 hr date though I still do not think I will ever do a overnight but who knows I might change my mind about that one day also.

Everything in life changes over time so why wouldn't this lifestyle see them? Some guys here refuse to change with the times and that is their call. If they still like p4p, and don't feel the need to make changes, good for them. But many things changed in the last 5 years or so. Rising rates, deposits, more intrusive verification methods, women opting out of TER reviews, etc and those are just the ones off the top of my head.

This business has certainly shifted from a buyers market to a sellers one in relatively short order. I have managed well by going along with most of the new demands, but this is the first year ever I have made substantive changes. I am seeking out less expensive women now and even some SWs that don't offer FS (i.e. FBSM providers). I never saw this coming just a few years ago but it is what it is.

I still find this lifestyle incredibly enjoyable. There is just something so exciting about NSA sex with beautiful, skilled, sexy strangers, and then engaging in a deeper relationship when you get to know someone well, as more can become available that wasn't when you first met.

What's wrong with that?  Have fun.

I'm still paying for sex with women that I don't have to call in the morning while remaining guilt-free about it.  At the same time, I'm dating a younger civvie woman (26 years younger to be exact) who is cool with my monger history.  Except for having to call the civvie girl in the morning after fucking her for free all night, does life get any better than this?  

I started out merely as an accident.  A buddy of mine and I were just shooting breeze and ended up at AMP in York, PA.  He ended up living a normal life and I ended up becoming a whore monger. I was 20 at the time.  Long story short, after moving to DC I put my researching skills in high gear and found TER.  

When I first started FBSM & BDSM was my specialty. Now I love anal, so PSE is on my menu. I was never a GFE in the beginning & now I consider myself the ultimate girlfriend experience. I excel at longer play dates that allow us to get lost in time. I’m the VIP companion you fantasize about booking, but you don’t do deposits. lol 😆 Smile for me!

Does she have a sister?

Agreeing with most of what I am reading here.

She may think I'm suggesting a threesome.   I learned a long time ago that any hint that you want to fuck a family member of the woman you are fucking regularly is a relationship killer.  On the other hand, if I start with, "I have a friend . . . . ." it just might work.  I'll let you know.  Lol

Now that I am older, I am more interested in the milfs. The reason is that i  find myself in need of intimacy. There is a big difference between sex and making love. I find it much more enjoyable to cuddle, touch, and kiss than to simply have sex. Also, I think many milf types are seeking intimacy as well.  
Just my thoughts.

While I would never say NO "milf types are seeking intimacy as well," I believe it is HIGHLY unlikely many are. Most of this world is about acting and most providers of any age are mainly seeking money.
And that's fine with me.

But many mongers confuse "connection", which are just two personalities that get along and can have fun together, with intimacy, which means something deeper.  While I have, on occasion, had a connection turn into intimacy by morphing into a RL relationship with a provider, it's rare, and the only way you know for sure you have reached this plateau is if they say without any prompting, "You're my boyfriend now, so you don't have to pay anymore."  Absent language like this, intimacy while you're paying is illusory, but most providers can make a "connection" work for playtime, again, not to be confused with real intimacy in a loving relationship.    

I think "milf" types tend to focus on the intimacy/experience/service side in order to help them compete with younger providers. Also, older providers are probably a bit more likely to find older clients attractive, which helps.

While yute providers are more about energetic sex, MILF providers know their own clientele falls between "somewhat older and barely breathing," so they work hard on the GFE/intimacy illusion, and many are extraordinarily successful to the point that many of their customers claim to have achieved a high level of intimacy, which translates to an academy-award-worthy performance by the provider.  

Your sound like a lucky guy. If you have any clues on how to find those UTR ladies at reasonable prices, I am all ears.

I have changed a lot over the years.  I require two to four hour sessions but that is because I’m only going to be available once a week and I’m not quite sure if I will be coming up from three hours away twice a month or three times a month.  I dunno; I’m still feeling things out.  I also require a deposit these days.  You know cancelations happen and so I have to be prepared.  I remember having cancellations touring too and my dumbass had not required deposits.  So, I’ve changed my ways.  I’m still a really good time but I have to be a bit more discerning when it comes to the business end of things.

If you are trying to make a comeback here, might I suggest that you link your TER profile to your posts?  Then guys here who don't remember you can click to your profile.  

All very well thought out responses. I have no illusion regarding sincere vs fake intimacy.  I am simply saying that I am seeking sincere intimacy but am willing to accept fake intimacy if it gets me to where I want to go.
A woman who can offer passion and is sensual when touching and making out is enjoyable for me. After all, I am not looking for a wife.  I just want to enjoy the touch, feel, and smell of an attractive female.

....something I stumble on and it's worked out very well for me.  Cuddlecomfort seems to be the best platform.  Learn about it and don't make stupid mistakes or you'll get tossed out.  I'm currently seeing a gal that is actually doing amateur porn but she can't advertise she does that for a living, nor can she say she's an escort.  She has kids at home and we're both in a more rural area.  I found this out on a $100/hr cuddle that turned into a great session and when i handed her another $200 for what she just let me do with her, she was very happy.  We meet every couple weeks and now we're knocking things off each others bucket list.  She wanted a DP, I made arrangments and it was a win-win.  Best $300 I've ever spent for 3 hours of fun.  

I discovered UTRs by referral from an escort who knew I was a safe client.

True! Some clients confuse fantasy with reality.
