Yes or No?

When I first got married I gave up the hobby though I had already dabbled in it for about  8 years.  

after the loss of my wife, I have found civvie relationships to be too clingy and a huge time-suck doing things together that are of little interest to me, but I was doing anyway to indulge her.  I gave up on them many years ago.  I have had many satisfying provider relationships that have evolved into real-life BF-GF on the outside.  We always have an understanding that I can continue to hobby (albeit at a lower volume) even though we are a couple, so it doesn't "keep" me from hobbying.

but a "great" relationship will keep me from wanting to stray. For a while at least.

Interesting response.

If I'm in a committed relationship, then I'm 100% invested in that relationship and have no interest in another woman.  I don't play that game.

Do you mean when two people love each other and get along well together ... but that's all?

A bad relationship makes me chase after anything new and fun and not care if a SO finds out.

During the 25 years my wife gave me blowjobs.  Started hobbying one month after she stopped.

significant physical issues and ailments killed my wife's libido and physically made sex impossible for her/us.  I am grateful for the p4p world and its place in my life.  Certainly has made me rethink monogamy and presented alternative theories to me.  

A good relationship would've otherwise kept me from hobbying, except that as a MGTOW, I don't date civvie girls, so my only good relationships are the ones I have with providers which means that quite the contrary, a good relationship would only pull me deeper into the hobby.

Sexual surrogacy is becoming a real thing now.

When I'm in a relationship, I don't see anyone else, civvie or provider.  If the relationship goes such, I'll end it before I see anyone in p4p.

Oh god...we agree!

I suspect that when blowjobs are missing from a marriage or any from other long-term relationship, that relationship is at risk.

I recently acquired a bisexual girlfriend via Tinder. On our first date,  I mentioned my love of escorts and trans women. She thinks that's cool. Therefore, I continue to date her.

Relationship was already not so great (my fault not hers) when I started mongering. I think I'd give it up if I ever found a really great relationship again. I'll never know, though.

Never cheated on my present day GF,  lucky guy I am.

Everyone has their ways and their reasons. Thank you so much for your input.

Good point relationship to be too clingy and a huge time-suck doing things together...Lower volume hooker trying get clients..High rates hookers don't have seen alot clients..Lower volume hookers not doing this job for free. .Clients show up without money see what happen with sex workers.....Enjoy variety hobbyists.  PAID sessions without strings.
