"The Hobby" itself is a euphemism.

So, my question for all -- since entering the world of TER, what terminology [if any] regarding this activity have you 86ed?  What terminolog [if any] has replaced it?  and what were your motivation to do so?

For some reason, Hobbyists don't like to be referred to as "Johns".

I find "polygamy for fun & profit" a more accurate euphemism than “The Hobby”

...polyamory

And maybe an acronym would be fun to use in that case - pfp - which works for another well known phrase, "pay for play."

i think both are defective, as they imply marriage.

how about "intermitent short-term contact with multiple sex partners for profit [and sometimes fun"] ?

someone defined it as like shagging fast with pants still on or something.


i thought boffing was just regular, uh you know, blanking.

now i use the word blank for blanking cuz its discreet and plus it sounds a lil funny too --  like the sound of spitting m & m's at a coca cola can.

I no longer say hooker or prostitute unless it is in reference to a skanky street corner drug addict chicks. I replaced it with "provider" "Escort" or simply... "Lady" for specific ones I know to be.
