Hobbyists - have you ever told anyone about your special hobby? Your friends/families/coworkers? If you had, have you run into anyone "disapprove" of your hobby?

I will throw out some bait about LE stings and see the reaction. The hobbyists will spill the beans. Sometimes I have found out we have seen the same providers.

My personal assistant knows, my house keeper knows, several friends knows, some of my employees knows. Now I didn't tell most of them but I never hid it. And hell, the first time I did this my wife was in the room.

I don't need approval, I'm a single man and my bills get paid..
What I do with my money and my penis are my own affair...

..only because he told me first.

Just about everyone who knows me knows what a whore mongering pig I am. The only exception to this is are the wives of some of my married friends, and I keep it from them for my friends benefits not my own. Some of my married friends would be forbidden from hanging out with me if their wives were to learn the truth.

And I set both up a few times with ladies. They were blown away how hot and mature the ladies were. Like a lot of people not familiar with yhis world they were thinking street walk

I tell them I'm a whoremonger.

The only ones I ever told about my hobby are three friends I have met in connection with the hobby,  I have lost track of two of them but still have one friend here and --of course-- we both know about each other.

While it's not always the case, in general I still need to pay to get laid.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

There is a social stigma associated with being an escort or patronizing escorts.  In my book, that social stigma is bullshit, but at the same time it's a reality and I personally prefer not to wear it on my sleeve.  To each his or her own on that score.  Exceptions and potential exceptions: a couple of very close friends and fellow clients/providers who know that discretion is the better part of valor.

I was sitting at the bar in my hotels lounge in Toronto. I over heard the stranger next to me using some hobby language.
When an opportune time presented itself I said something to him like " pardon me , but if I said TER would it mean anything to you ?" He slowly smile , kinda checked me out and said " yes it does ."

One of my brothers definitely knows (because I told him directly).  The other probably knows, or at least suspects.  And my best friend is probably going to learn soon.  I'm not ashamed of it...but it definitely isn't something you just casually mention at a Sunday BBQ or while sharing lunch at the local Panera Bread

I'm not flaunting it (mostly!), but I'm definitely not hiding it either.  And like you, will not be shamed.

I came close a couple of times... but fortunately I came to my senses.  Once out, you can never put the genie back in the bottle.  It gives someone else great power & leverage over you.  Why would I do that?

To separate your 'friends' from 'true friends', who will not only help you bury the body, but suggest a couple of good spots they know.  

but other than that -- NO!!!

And we don't call it "Hobbying", we call it what it is, we're "Fucking around". So yes, my own little inner circle of friends, we all know what goes on. Oh and I have two clients that know what I do as I  know what they do because I fix them up.

Told my best friend, who is a female, while in the midst of hobbying.  Stopped about a year ago when I got a GF and I've told her about my hobbying past.

My brother knows about my early years, hell, I paid for him to have a girl take his virginity when he was 19.  I was in the other room with my own.

2 people know specific details--one of my friends who uses BP (and tries to get me to go the BP route) and another guy whom I've known for a while and actually has a crush on my ATF (but will probably never see an escort since it'll be nearly impossible for him to get screened since he works for TSA)

Only the people within the hobby need know...

but you'd never run out of Benjamins...lol

on many many occasions and I always thank the gal.  
Getting sunk twice in a session is even better

Maybe leave the wife a note: see what happens when I stopped getting it at home?

GF of 10 yrs (I am married). We had an amazing intense sexual relationship but we had to finally break up so she could get a life. Now 7'years later she is married. We remain unique friends with no benefits and no face-to-face. She was very interested in what I was doing now for sex. I told her and she agreed that PFP was perfect for me. Great open-minded woman

One of those people is my daughter.  My favorites are female co-workers who would fuck me if they didn't have hangups, but settle for listening to the juicy details of my escort stories...with huge smiles on their faces.
