Well said.  I have a hunch that many of us would fully agree with your characterization of the ideal hobby date - a Great Lover Experience with a beautiful,  intelligent, sensusal, warm, loving, romantic woman who can create a sense of two lovers connecting both physically as well as emotionally, leading to a climactic  unity of both body and soul.   Maybe it's all an illusion but I have had a few such dates and they have been memorable and special. On reflection, I would really like to believe that those encounters have indeed been genuine and that there are many woman in the hobby who want no less for themsleves.

here's a respectful note of skepticism, on a number of levels.
First, in this already ackronym-laden business the last thing I think we need is one more.  So, please, nix on the GLE terminology.
Second, when I see guys raving about romance and passion my warning bells go off.  You are risking straying over the line and getting emotionally involved.  You always need to  remember this is a fantasy.  Forgetting it means risking the "I've fallen for a provider and I can't get up" syndrome.
I like and admire many of the women I've meet.  But I'm in it for the hot sex, not to replicate civvie dating without the drama.  At least that's what I tell myself.  LOL!  Now watch me trip and fall.

argument as to whether it includes this or that, and I like FFAP, it's like doing a line of the hard stuff, just to fuck with limits.
