Do any of you have any regrets hobbying or providing? Like that you wish you had never done it in the first place?

I don't regret doing it and don't see myself stopping. I just need to learn to budget...or better yet find andditional sources of income so that I can do it even more.

but that was way back in my SW days, and answering personal ads, pre internet. I can truthfully say I have not had a bad experience with an escort, since the internet review sites popped up. So a few individual regrets, yes, back in the day, but no general regrets in the hobby. (other than the money part I mentioned in my other post.)

I have been this way my whole life....
Stumbling into this was the best ...

I like to see who I am dating BEFORE I make up my mind and commit my $$$.  I did not like notaclown's approach although I used it if I was horny enough.  I prowled the bars, clubs, strip joints and MPs where the ladies were reputed to be.  Most of the time I struck out.  Either the ladies did not show up, there were other guys working the same ladies, or their rates were beyond my budget.  I wish I had all of the gasoline, drinks, tips and time back that I spent looking for SPs----it's got to add up to a small fortune.

You guys that got into the hobby after the internet was invented don't know how good you have it.

I would have never considered the seeing escorts until the internet age hit. I was around back then and decided it was not worth it. Way to much time like you said.

I was around.  There were ways to play.  Lots of people did it.  It was more difficult, but I had lots of hot times then and lots of others did, too.  Great houses on the East side of NY.  Hot ladies.  Sorry you missed out.

This hobby has made me into a better person. I not only get to meet providers, we go on dinner dates, and everything else. Meeting providers are more than the sexual experiences, its also about the human experience.

My character, experience, maturation, and everything else has been shaped and molded due to the fact that I see providers. I have become a better person, a people's person. This hobby not only has its sexual benefits, but it has its human benefits. You know what I mean?

Sure, some may regret it, but, there are necessary steps one must take to avoid these unwanted outcomes. Shit may happen, but, life doesn't stop there, so, we gotta continue making the best of it.

regretable relationships including first mariage.  I could have had more pussy & be way ahead cash.  Not saying to skip civie relationships entirely but having provider sex keeps you in good practice if you want that, teaches you to NOT fall for the girl you have sex with...  at least not the hormonal fall-for, and keeps you from being sex crazed so you could actually find out if you have anything in common.

Never had regrets for what I do. Meet many great people, hear some fantastic stories, have awesome encounters and travel great places. And i might say the money is not bad either. Not to mention the freedom to work or not work each day is liberating! love what I do !

what good is the cash once you are unable to enjoy yourself.

The only part of hobbying I regret is having to lie to my wife about where I am going and what I am doing. But then, she caused this by refusing to participate in a reasonable sex life, so I guess that's on her. I do find I am more relaxed, better with the kids, and more friendly overall, especially when I've just spent a couple of hours with a young, beautiful, and willing lady. And hobbying is so much better than the mistress route.
