So a recent post the other day that mentioned the Kevin Smith movie "Chasing Amy" (yes, actually giving credit to ADJ), got me wondering..

For those of you who don't know the movie, I will summarize: boy meets lesbian (actually bi); sparks fly, boy and girl fall in love; boy learns about girl's wild past including MFM in high school (earning her the nickname 'finger cuffs'); insecure boy gets angry and blows up the relationship, realizing later what a big mistake he made.

So what does this have to do with the hobby?  

Hobbyists, assuming you became a civilian again and met Ms. Right, how would you react if you found out she used to be an escort?  Would you be cool with her past, or blow it up?

For me, I would be fine with her past as long as it was all in the past.  I do have a friend who had hobbied, but wigged out when he learned his girlfriend had been an escort.  I told him I thought he was being a hypocrite.  Also, would you disclose to Ms. Right your past Hobbying, or keep it a secret in hopes she never finds out.  I would keep it to myself and cross that bridge only if it ever came out.

Ladies, assuming you had retired as a provider and met Mr. Right, how would you react if you learned he had been a hobbyist?  Would you be ok with his past, or kick him to the curb?  Also, would you be up front about your past with Mr. Right, or keep it a secret in hopes he doesn't find out?

Enjoy the weekend!

and yes, your friend is a hypocrite.

as for full disclosure, I am waay too lazy to lie, plus I have zero doubts it would come out eventually with the hundreds of trips to Costa Rica, over a decade on fuck boards, and the fact that I've never made a secret about my whore mongering to anyone. I will confess, I do try and skirt around the "what's your number?" question in re to how many sexual partners I have had. I simply have not found a tactful way to say "I don't have a clue, somewhere in between three and four thousand" If anyone has a delicate way to say that. please share it with the rest of us.

for two reasons:

One:  She'll be open (It is to be hoped.) to me seeing providers even if we are hooked up.

Two:  She should have plenty of sexual experience to spice up our sex life.

I don't see any real down sides except perhaps someone finds out about her past and tries to make something of it.  I'd accept that challenge

While many of you think they are inherently dishonest, I get a lot more honesty out of hookers than I do women who do other things for a living.

As for a book, I know some will find this hard to believe as big a blabbermouth I am here on the boards, but I am way too lazy to write a book, maybe I could have it ghost written. All we would need is several cases of booze, and I could sit and flap my gums all day. Just like I do right here. lol

Prostitute to PhD, and an award winning movie about her past.  While she wasn't my type, again, if I met a former provider I really connected with and had tremendous chemistry, yes I would date her..  The other benefit is that given my Hobbying, I can feel comfortable about my own past being accepted and not being judged.

...she had been an escort.  

I wouldn't mind if she didn't tell me about it but somehow I found out. My story below explains why I feel this way.

I would not tell Ms. Right about my hobbying. Here's the story. I went to strip clubs and hung out with dancers after my divorce. That's how I dealt with being single after a long marriage. I met someone (civvie) I was attracted to and we started dating. About a month into the relationship I told her about my seeing strippers, hanging out in clubs, etc. . (Her opinion of strippers and strip clubs was to say the least unfavorable.) I told her because I didn't want the fall out if she ever found out. Because shit does happen and I wanted to head off the drama that could come about if it became known and I hadn't told her. (Big mistake.) She told me it was OK, that I had done that since it was in the past, I was single so I wasn't cheating on anyone and I had stopped since I met her and we got together. ( That is true I quit when she and I met and started dating.) The entire time we were married it had to have been in the back of her head though. She had trust problems whenever I wasn't at home. If I was late for anything the phone calls started. Eventually she stopped that but I can't help but think it would have been better had I not told her.  Short ending - we divorced after a few years. No more marriages for me. I since found out about escorts and TER which meets my needs quite well.

Therefore I would keep my mouth shut about the hobby and I'd want her to keep her mouth shut about her escort past. If either came out at some point well... We'd have to deal with it at that time. This could very well be a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation.

Side note: One of my dancer friends often said in situations like this Lie! She/He doesn't need to know. She began with the old "does this dress make my butt look big?" question as an example and she said Lie!
She also said she and I could never be more than friends because of my "strip club" past. She would always be wondering if I was going to the clubs like I used to.

"Yeah I'm getting housed, but whose house is it?"
They sounded like words put together in a sentence, but i still have no  idea what they mean to this day.  
Maybe they're a hidden code- like in the Da Vinci code.  
Or you went to the Costanza school of comebacks judging from your two posts.  

Ah, these new handles - how quaint. Lol.

Dear Gambler:
I have a new idea for your next book under a psuedonym:  " My life and times with ho's I've known. I am sure that you would have some succulent and serious plot lines and stories regarding your interactions with women of this demimonde.

I was fine with finding out from a family member who recognized her before me that my SO was a well known PS with a Vivid contract and a single name. Of course she then spilled all the beans. Although she still tells little white lies to protect my ego, which only makes me adore her more.

I met her as the hot girl in the record store who knew who a particular hard rocker was and who talked to me first.
She had quit making movies two years before.
We held off on sex for three months beyond making out in taxis and restaurants.  
And I gave her an ultimatum to stop providing as long as I held up my end of the bargain.  

So yeah, I believe you can ignore the past as long as it isn't the present. Finding the right person to do this doesn't happen often. In fact only once for me.

I like the terminology that's evolved around the activity that has come to be known as the hobby, I really do. It facilitates conversation and clarifies communication.

But sometimes the terms don't accommodate the slant that you view the thing itself from.

Who we share sex with is selective. I know there are a lot of you guys who laugh at that, bragging how you'll fuck anything as long as it has a cunt, but most men and women agree that who they have sex with is selective.

Because sex mutually selective, both men and women engage in various activities to make themselves attractive partners. For the male, one important activity is garnering wealth so the female will select him as a partner. She wants to share her pleasure and she wants to share his wealth. Kill a deer, bring it back to camp, and share it with the prettiest maiden and she'll sleep with you. Nothing against deer, but a good reason to kill them.

So, Instead of drawing terminological lines between types of sharing, what if we saw it as all one thing? Women venture into long or short arrangements with men so as to nourish their bodies, clothe themselves, and find shelter from the elements. This also spurs propagation, but I don't want to deal with that right now. Does it matter what the form of the arrangement is? Escort? Wife? Blow-an'-go? Isn't it all various forms of the same thing? And isn't the biggest variable time commitment and formalities as regards the material sharing?

Since it's all the same thing, then the rituals around how the the activity is ventured into are only of superficial importance. The thing itself is how individuals survive and enjoy each other in a social context. So, a woman's activity as an escort has no real meaning as regards the thing itself.

No need to tell him I was LR, posted on TER for years, and did x, y, and z for x amount. I would simply say at one point in my life I was in the adult entertainment industry to get through grad school. He can take a hike if he has a problem with my PAST.  

FYI, there is a reason this is one of my ATF movies, and that is because I have had to deal with such things just from being a slut in high school. Everytime I met a new guy, he was faced with the fact that I probably fked 3 of his friends, or maybe his sister lol.  

I can tell you, her character in the movie is EXACTLY how I would act (do so on a daily basis attitude wise) and how I would react to his suggestion that we should have a threesome because he never experienced one. I had an ex who also expected that because I was a slut at one time, that I would not have a problem with multiple partners, and he was dead wrong. With him, it was about love, not sex and that part of my life was over with. I was not about to accompany him on his adventures just because he felt I should. Too close to home.

I imagine most men would not be comfortable with their gf continuing to provide but obviously some do. At what point in the relationship would you tell the other person? At what point (if ever) does the provider choose to retire?

I chose NOT to date or bother with any men outside of the hobby, for that very reason. I am the type that would cry going down on some dude knowing the love of my life was at home eating Cheetos while his girl was out doing that. No fkin way. If a man did not mind me doing it, I would drop his ass too because he has a screw loose.

The difference between past and present is mathematically impossible to determine (did I begin this sentence in the past? Well, yes and no), but we all know what it means. In the present, it's just infidelity, quaint and simple notion, an doing someone for cash isn't any different than doing someone because they are so exciting it's hard to say no, or so young and handsome. Either way you get something out of it, even if it doesn't add to your net worth on paper.

Accepting a person's "past" is an assertion that a person is more than the history of their behavior. That's actually a more debatable conundrum than it appears on the surface.

Anyway, if some guy told you that he'd gone into bankruptcy twice and lost all he had ever earned in his life through gambling, would you say, "Well, that's okay! I don't mind! Meet you at the casino!"

So, if you do a live-in pair-bonding, you're contracting to make one man the source of wealth. Break the contract, and that source can be expected to go away. Free choice has consequences. Still, it's good that you can choose.

I thing it's a slippery slope once it gets out into the open.
Why did you choose that person?  How many times did you do it?  How much money did you spend?  So did you take her/him to this place?  So how much would I be worth/would you pay me?  Are you going to do it again if you get horney/pissed/fill in your own blank.

I don't see much goodness coming out of that.  

I remember either Courtney or LR commenting that they'd not deal IRL with hobby guys as SO's since they've figured out how easy it is to buy pussy

Just like I said he could take a hike, so could I. NO offense but the percentage of men who know and play in this world rarely ever stop for good. It's just too easy to run back to it when I can't fk him for whatever reason, and I don't want to have to worry about that. With me, I only did this shit for the money and trust me... I won't ever be back lol.

If Ms. Right told me she she used to be LR, TS, Courtney, Miss Jones or a few others,  I'd be fine.   I'd be way beyond fine.   At least they would understand my manginic personality.  

We might have some fun stories to share.  

For someone like me with my past history, giving grief to any lady for her choices would be extremely hypocritical to say the least

Mr. Right (huge, big, humongous..... 'IF' )

#1 I would care less if he was a 'hobbyist'. My only question would be...'are you done playing?'

#2 He had better care less if I was a 'provider'. His only question should be...'are you done providing?'

Whatever the answers are, as long as the communication is clear and open, then I suppose it could possibly work. 'Would' it work? Hard to say...as with anything in life, it's a crapshoot. The big question is, is it worth the gamble? Some may say yes, others may say hell no.  

I guess if the past, can truly stay the past and two people could truly move forward, then my answer is yes, it could work. I don't see how it could work any other way.
