I would say that 75% of them are married.

Though I don't agree with the reason as stated..

I'd say of the men that I entertain 90% (or more even) are married and there are so many reasons why men partake in the hobby it's too hard to group everyone into one category. Maybe the have a less than satisfying sex life with their wives, or maybe they just want variety (because it's the spice of life). In many of the cases, when the gentlemen have opened up to me as to why they are playing in the hobby, it's never a question as to whether they love their SO or not, just them not being satisfied in one way or another. Most of the guys love their wives and get along great with them and have no intentions of getting a divorce. That's just what I've found in my experiences.

If I could see lil Debbie once a month or so I might just stay happily married...who knows...maybe forever...she is so hot!
Why can't I ever get a trip to AZ!

If you look back at passed surveys it show that of the respondants (of course it's an unscientific poll) 50% were married and 49% unmarried,  don't know about the other 1%.

I was in too absolutely horrible marriages - won't bother you with the stories, but suffice it to say I totall y hate both of the ex-wives, hope I outlive both of them so I can go decorate their graves.  Marriage locks a guy in, at leat it did for me. Either comply or they made life a living hell.  So now I am single, and when I want sex, I save up the money and have it, no strings attached.  The first wife cost me easily $50K (over the divorce, child support hearings to get her to pay since I had the children (which she never paid a dime!), then child support for the children since I couldn't afford to keep them on my income alone - and of course she never really used the moeny for the children.  (I eventually got them back and we just do without).  There was also lost wages from court herings and then the attorney fees.  The second wife I actually paid her $20K to leave - how much sex I could have bought for that!  And she also cost me dearly in helping to be among those laid off at my job, totally spending every dime I made, hitting me whenever she pleased.  (Yes I called the police but hey she said she didn't hit me and depsite the marks ON THE BACK OF MY NECK, thaqt was accepted as the "truth".  Then when she left, she poured bleach over all the mattresses, smashed any furniture she couldn't take, tore the front door off the hinges. And again I calle d the police.  Only now she said I had hit her - WHICH I DID NOT EVEN TOUCH HER AT ALL.  No marks, but guess what, she says I hit her, then I must have hit her.  With a provider, at least the one I use now, it is a very nice pleasant time.  She doesn't hit me, she doesn't have access to any money O don't voluntarily give her, and she is fantastic.  This is from a forever and forever single guy.

of my clientele are married also, but have to agree with Sedona in that the reasons vary from individual to individual.  Believe it or not, I have seen married men in which the wife was completely aware of the fact and even have had the wife pick the lady for him.  One instance was of a wife that has ovarian cancer and intimacy is extremely painful for her.  She understands that her husband has needs that she can no longer fulfill and thinks this is the perfect avenue for him because it eliminates the risk of him ending up having an affair because that part of their life is lacking.
