Just curious, but how much money have you guys spent seeing providers? And over what period of time?

justt spend what you can afford and DON'T spend the rent/mortgage payment, kids college tuition or retirement funds and you should be fine.  Many newbs start off like a kid in a candy store and blow thru a fair amount $ to start, then they get a handle on the $

I think they already did. Tiger was in it!

I have no idea as to the exact numbers but I do know that I've had a blast doing it, don't regret a second of it and have met some truly remarkable women, some of whom I've been fortunate enough to get to know in ways that go way beyond the "hobbying."  

Perhaps I am also fortunate enough to be in a profession that is needed in all walks of life so I have also gotten a significant amount back from girls in the industry.  Indeed, it might be close to push, now that I think about it!

There are several locations around the country that treat "sex addiction".

Who counts how much they spend?

Can there be a beginnig or end?

I think it would be wierd to keep track of either.

Hell, I've spent $30K on one provider in 18 months. No telling how much on the others.
Aahh, The memories

So I don't ever add it up.  I will say that today I spent $325 for 90 minutes with the cutest little honey. I can't review her here because she has no web site and her only ads are on another board that's not permitted to be mentioned, if I understand the rules here.  Monday I will drop another $300 on the cutest little K-girl with a stud in her tongue that does the most amazing things.  Bottom line, if you feel regret afterwards for the $$ you spent, you're either not doing your homework or you're out of your depth dollarwise.  Just the opinion of one newcomer here, but not a newb.

I actually think it is perfectly ridiculous how everything under the sun that gives anyone any pleasure is labeled as a fking addiction nowadays, lol.  Like HH said - just spend what you can afford and have a good time

Money - For 2012,  I think my monthly spending was like $400-$600/month for the hobby, excluding times when I travel.  I only hobby in my hometown, because when I travel - it's with the SO.   I usually visit indies on BP, because they charge less than agencies.  If you're good with research,  you'll get GFE providers in BP without a problem.

Research Time -  I do a lot of research, because I don't want to spend money on flaky providers that waste my time.  

Visit Time -  When I'm busy and tired from work, I do a 30 minute sessions. If I do it with my regular who is not a clock-watcher, we go for about 45-50 minutes.    When I'm well rested, I go for 1 hour, but my regular lets me rest in between pops - so 1 hour is really becomes 1 hour 30 or 40 minutes.   She genuinely likes talking to me about her life and all during the break, so it's all good.  

I can tell you that investing in a few regulars is better over time, because the regulars I chose do not rush and enjoy my company. If they don't, then they will not be my regular.

@ 2.5 Mil/week from Two and Half Men  pocket change.

I'm reminded of the bumper sticker:

"I spent most of my money on Wine Women and Song, the rest I just pi$$ed away..."

I have yet to start

Bottom line you pay for TER by the year.
