Oh, and when I totally redo my website, I spend about 8-10 hours a day (time permitting) for several days (at least) working on it.

Guys, how much time do you spend on the hobby, on average, per week? By "hobby" I dont just mean sessions. I am referring to driving to and fro, reading reviews & posts, creating/responding to posts, pm'ing our fellow mongers, buying gifts/champagne, filling out provider forms, responding to emails, reading ladies websites, checking out eros, etc. Anything and everything that has to do with the hobby. I know the word "it depends" would be a common answer so I am asking to go beyond the obvious and try and give me the number of hours per week on average.

Ladies, slightly different question. How much time do you spend on the hobby factoring OUT the appt time and travel (outcall) and prep (shower, make up, etc) In other words, how many hours per week, on average, do you answer emails, check P411/datecheck, respond to appt requests, uppdate your websites, get new pics, post on TER or similar sites, etc.

my little head thinks about it 24/7..otherwise an hour or so each day to stay "abreast"..there is more to life than fucking..or is there?..

1)  Driving to and fro...depends on who I'm seeing, and how often.  But on average/month 3 hours
2)  Reading reviews...NONE
3)  Reading posts...23 hours and 46 minutes a day
4)  Creating posts...23 hours and 46 minutes a day (combining with the reading  LOL)
5)  PM fellow members...If it's London then 23 hours a day..others...meh
6)  Buying gifts...NEVER...as in NOT going to happen....EVER
7)  Filling out some hookers web form...NEVER...as in will NEVER fill one out
8)  Responding to emails..23 hours and 46 minutes a day (combined with posts)
9)  Reading ladies websites...26 seconds unless the pics are nice...then 2 minutes
10)  Checking out EROS...only to report problems to TER for the VIP

Hey...that was a fun survey.

Next week can we have the entire Les Mis family play?  :D

What are the fine parting gifts?

Ok Jonny Cakes, and Blueballman
I saw your little weird thingy there. I'll bite, but not in that way!

I mostly surf this site when I am at work. Haha. Fuck em!
I use a smartphone to surf, so they can't view what I do.
So that's anywhere from 40-70 hr/wk. Shit! That's a lot!
In my defense. I am on tons of other sites as well. Not other fuck boards, and I am a terrific multitasker!

Travel time is nothing when you live in NYC.
Even though in traffic it can take an hour to go two miles in a car.
I always use mass transit, and a cab. Unless I know there won't be traffic.
Think of it this way. The fastest travel time I ever made to an Incall was 12 minutes.

I'm no big shot. So I figure I'll hire maybe 6-8 a year? I really don't have enough data to give you an average.
I could go slumming, and do this much more often.
I don't think that's going to happen.

if no provider, I hardly spend that much time doing any kind of looking around.

if I am in the need of one, I spend 4-6 hours a week.

why do you ask anyways?

SG

on average, probably too much time. lol! I believe I spend about 2 hours a day doing web/net maintenance (answering emails, screening, posting, searching for info, reading stuff about the profession, etc.). If I get extra time at the end of the day, I will browse TER, but if that gets boring, I lurk on other boards or do facebook (civvie FB). Some days I spend more time on this than others, of course, depending on the incoming emails. The two hours average is not necessarily consecutive- it is interspersed with other things such as work, keeping up personal correspondence, running errands, etc.

As for getting new pics- trying to find a photographer as we speak. Not easy here- I hate to trust just anyone. Maybe I will have my friend do them again.

and I see a gal for at least two hours, sometimes three each week, and it takes an hour or more to get to them and then back.

I guess it's a lot when you come right down to it.

Zero hours a week (as some of my regulars and some new potential clients who have been trying to get a hold of me can attest to!) to 2-4 hours a day. Arranging scheduling is probably the toughest part for me, especially when I am setting up doubles sessions and/or traveling.

Oh, and when I totally redo my website, I spend about 8-10 hours a day (time permitting) for several days (at least) working on it.

Sometimes more when I am really trying to plan for a solid session in a new city I am visiting.  And sometimes I go 5 to 7 days without doing anything.

Which is way more than i should.  But...It is ,after all, one of my hobbies.  I could do more productive/useful stuff, but keeping myself amused/entertained/interested in something non-productive may be a mental health requirement.  And I watch relatively little tv.  I try to actually see someone maybe once every two months or so, for multiple hours, although that has decreased recently.

But why do you care?  (just curious)

-I spent an unusually amount of time in the hobby last week when I added it all up (approx 15 hrs)
-curious as to how big a part of this "hobby" takes up TER types "real" lives
-never saw it asked before and thought it might be an interesting convo topic

For the first few years I spent day end and out on the hobby.  Reading any and everything I could on the topic, posting questions on my local boards.  One board that no longer exists I ended up making a name for myself just because I fought back and asked provocative questions.  Some people thought providers shouldn't have a voice in discussion, that providers should just post ads and couldn't understand how I got any business.  I seen the the large membership as a huge opportunity for feedback, which I got.  Some people loved me and others loved to hate me.  What I found through live one on one conversation was what emost didn't realize was that I needed those haters.  I couldn't have had the following that I did if I didn't have those haters.  It worked for me.  Now I sit in a comfortable place, I know most of what I need to know.  It's important to be able to step back and take breaks when the life does overwhelm a provider but the key is to enjoy yourself.  Like they say, it's never a job if you love what you do.  That being said, weekly I spend about 3-5 hours on the business end of it.  The rest, I enjoy myself.

about 14 to 21 hours per week. Is that too much or too little? I guess it woul dbe more if I posted reviews.

Generally, depends on time, money and distance genius. Doesn’t require Nuclear Physics to determine general outcomes.
