This is it for me. Haven't had it at home for a number of years now. It's not a big deal for me. I know that if she could, she would.
And now that I'm not travelling as much, it's even getting to be too long in between here. My last date was in March, and I'm hornier than a three-peckered owl.
my wife - I beleive its Nofuck State University
I get it mostly at home. I hobby because I am curious, and deep down still a little boy at a candy shop. At least I am honest with myself. My wife is terrific in bed. Not as often as I would like but terrific. With her, it is 100%. With a provider, it is 50-50. How is that for stupid on my part?
Hats off to you. I am in the same boat. My wife is hot, but hates CIM. I am out there practicing my hobby, to get a decent blow job with completion, and of course nice ass and tits to fondle. 
It was a great deal easier with no hang ups and I knew I was gonaa have a good time.
the hobby was my only outlet.
Only hobbying. Not married. Haven't dated anyone for many years, since I don't want to go thru the rituals of dating in order to get some real lovin'.

My wife suffers from a medical conditions that make her exhausted and make any sort of strenuous activity or a lot of pressure come with the price of terrible pain within 8-16 hours following. (We had a couples massage once, and the next day she felt like she'd been beaten with a sack full of oranges.) So we have really great sex, actually, but she has to suffer for it. And many times she just doesn't feel like it, and those times it's more "wifely duty" than because she really wanted to make love. So there was a double-dose of guilt.
At a point where things were looking pretty bad in our marriage, she quietly told me that I should take whatever steps I felt in order to be fulfilled ... just to be discreet so she would never have to know. Not long after that, a married female friend came onto me and things got pretty intense -- until I realized that I was going to ruin someone else's marriage because mine had problems. So I cooled things off until she moved out of town.
Though I could probably get more sex for free by having affairs, I don't want anyone to get hurt or have unreasonable expectations. I decided to check out escorting, found TER, and found someone I was interested in visiting. I've had precisely one hobby experience so far (though I have a few appointments coming up). So far, so good...
They tell you in AA that if you stick around long enough, you'll hear someone tell your story. Yours is so similar to mine that it's almost scary.
Complicated as well.
For large parts of my life when I hobbied, I alos had a girl friend so maybe 90% civilian/10%hobby.
I was married for greater than 20 years and didn't hobby at all until the last two yrs.
It took 2 years to get divorced and I didn't hobby at all. Then I had a serious girlfriend all last year and didn't hobby.
I just started hobbying again in January of this year after my breakup with that woman.
Right now I am 100% hobby, am developing an ATF, and just sort of hanging out from civilian life for the time being.
I would think at some point I would want to develop a civilian relationship at some point and that number will change again.
Right now I am content with the provider I am seeing.
...but I do sometimes get it outside the hobby. More than 90% in hobby.
My situation is a little different from the usual here. My wife of almost 44 years still wants to have sex with me, but I can't really enjoy sex with her. Therefore, I can't satisfy her, and vice-versa. I suppose part of it is that she is hardly as good looking as the hotties I enjoy in the hobby, who are also half her age. But it is mostly that I need a kind of stimulation that she is really not able to give. It is a true regret in my life, but most of my sexual activities now are with my provider friends.
My wife and I have no closeness at all, pretty much no love left, she has gotten very overweight, bad breath, and just isn't attractive to me. Sad to say, obviously a reflection on me and my heart as well, but it is what it is.
Luckily for me, we hadn't had sex in years. When she tried to initiate it recently, it was a dismal failure due to my little guy's inability to rise to any interest in her and the less he reacted, the more aggressive she got to where it was nearly gross.
Hobbying and having sex with beautiful ladies has only made it worse.
...I have an attractive wife, but she is a pure bitch. I told her she would make a wife beater very happy someday. But she ain't making me happy right now, so I donate tidy sums to provider half as good looking as her.
my wife did the full GFE before we got married 4 years ago. Now that we are married, she took all of my money and all I get is crap ass boring mission position twice a week and nothing else. No kissing allowed, no touching, and I can only get it if I go to bed by 10pm. What a ripoff! I was duped! Sorry but I have to hobby now to meet my needs.
Just imagine you are fucking one of favorites in the hobby. You wife will wonder why you are so horny, lol.

I posted on a thread a couple of days ago about the reason why I began seeing escorts, and it was because I could not get any intimate contact with a woman any other way. If it weren't for getting "fluke laid" once back in 1989 (the only "free sex" I've ever had in my life, and not very good at that), I'm likely a 43 year old virgin today. If I had any appeal whatsoever to women and could have ever developed a normal, intimate relationship with one, I would not (and never would have) ever gone this route.
but we have zero / zip sex. So other than my right hand I'd get none if it wasn't for the ladies I know. Bless them!
I'd give anything to have my wife back healthy..she's gorgeous and was a great lover. But those days are over 
my situation as well. severe OCD and related medication has pretty much eliminated any physical relationship we have. she is actually very attractive and gets checked out when we are in public. that is, whenever she washes her hair, puts on something besides worn out sweats and actually leaves the house. she was never great in the sack to begin with, however, so spending time with a companion has been fantastic for me.
oddly, our relationship has seemed to improve now that I'm hobbying. probably a change in my behavior. although tempted several times in the past, I could never stand the emotional stress of a civvie affair.
In the past 6 months, three times at home and twice on the road... so about 50-50, but expect things to be taking a turn for the better...
More trips planned.
Frigid, medically/emotionally disabled wives, manipulative and disingenuous cock-teasers, nightmarishly psychotic single civvi women, socially stunted and/or aesthetically challenged males, and pragmatic individuals totally fed up with the aforementioned constitute the reasons and define the hobby’s participatory demographic.
Demographics 2 & 3 (personal experience with the cock-teasers and psychotic civvi women), along with demographic 4 (my already existing social ineptitude, also increased by constantly experiencing demographics 2 & 3), finally led to me living a life of demographic 5 (being fed up with the bull shit).
I couldn't have outlined it better myself.
that nasty slit she had between her legs Actually healed up, and is now gone....of course every month she walks around with a string hanging out of each EAR! 
I see never get it elsewhere. Many love the wife, but have unmet needs. We make them happy, they go home happy, the wife is happy they are happy... it is contageous!! lol
