Was with a provider recently  on  two hour appointment and during the recovery time we got into a discussion of the motivation behind what we do, from both a client and provider perspective.  She said the money was an addiction for the providers and the service she provided was an addiction for the clients. I"ve heard alot about providers not being able to give it up. I personally know of one  in her 50's who has been been at it for quite some time and I my self have been in the Hobby  for over 20 years. So is it an addiction?  

Worked out an exit plan a few years into providing, i.e., marry well, college degree, established a separate legit business, etc., staying in is the only way to continue the luxury lifestyle they have become accustomed to.   But this is a false plan too, because as they age they will have to lower their rates to stay competitive.  

...it's dependent on your own circumstances.

Everyone has an "ism". Whether its drugs, gambling, cludder or sex. Although I pretty much stay with my regulars, there is always the itch for something new. And that is when hobbying can become an expensive problem. Regulars fill the gap of what you are not getting at home or at all. However, you must remain budget conscious or you will not like where you end up in a few years. If you have $300 free money for entertainment per month, then you have a decision to make on who you see. Obviously providers that command a greater financial commitment than what you have are off limits. And you shouldnt feel bad about that. There are plenty of options at various financial levels. As a regular hobbyist, price does not guarantee a great experience. You have more budge conscious providers that run circles around they more expensive ones.  

I start spending more money than I can afford.

Sadly many will not put on a control on their hobby spending until they hit  $100,000 or more spending on the hobby. I have had to do the following things to keep from over spending on the hobby.

Also, has your net worth exceeded $50 yet?  Those pennies do add up.  Eventually.

On a more serious note you might not care. Others who are about get in too deep it is a way to learn from my mistakes about over spending on the hobby.

all fifty bucks of it. lmao

At least you have a upper limit on how much per hour you spend and hobby in Latin America where prices are good.  

Okay, maybe for some providers it is. As for myself, the addiction is the FREEDOM. I can make this much money in the real world, but I wouldn't be able to turn my phone off whenever I want to, travel at will and work whatever hours I damn well please. Any providers out there that agree?

I am not in a relationship and this fulfills my needs
I need intimacy and I get more than I would in a relationship without any of the drama
Men desire me, bring me gifts and then they leave.  
I really feel that I save marriages by fulfilling the same needs to the gentlemen I meet.
The money pays the bills and provides savings. It does not provide for any addictions, be they drugs shopping alcohol or shoes.  
I had my career and children before I started this and as long as I am desired I will continue to share my sexiness.

it creates a problem.  
Even lack of money is not such a bad problem if you are happy.

There're many situations in every person.
Can be one option that some people have some kind of addiction, but also more deep and complex motivations for both parts. Is not only the superficial thing about money or sex.

how much money that I have spent in the hobby...or do I?..lol
I really don't care because I am still gonna play..I just pay the bills first and use  
common sense.

If they do it to excess and let it ruin the other parts of their lives. So, no, I don't think it's an addiction. It's a normal human desire and this playground allows us to satisfy that desire with a minimum of drama and no strings attached. Anyway, that's my motivation for seeing these beautiful women.

My retirement plan was fully funded BEFORE I started hobbying, along with mortgages paid and children grown and independent.  So I have a car payment (and associated expenses) and a lot of pussy payments each month and that's it, except for property taxes twice a year, and utilities, which are negligible.  If I run short at the end of the month, I can either cut out some pussy or don't pay the gas and electic bill.  Its an easy choice for me.  That's why they invented candles.  

I have never hobbied.  But I started fucking hookers BEFORE my retirement plan was funded.  It still got funded.  Now I'm saddled with an expensive house and an even more expensive alimony obligation. And guess what?  I still don't give a shit. I am spending my kids inheritance on hookers, fast cars and travel.  Also booze. The rest I am squandering.

For others, maybe not.  

The workings of a free market.  If profit was easy, everyone would crowd the field, making profit difficult.  An equilibrium forms with some being highly successful, some okay, some doing poorly.   It will always be thus as people enter and leave the business due to the incentives or lack thereof.

It's what you might call sobering.

The enjoyment of being able to make a comfortable living, have a flexible schedule, travel, pay off student loans, etc. At this point I could never be comfortable working for $10/hour again but that comes with age and experience as well- I'm nearly done with a degree from a good school and I will likely never be in a position in life where I have to take a minimum wage job again.

True that...I have never seen a guy post and do nothing but thump his own chest. Every post this RAT Police Informant makes is all about money.....how much he claims to have, how much he claims to make, how "someone told me" crap.

plus interest.......he leaves that as a tip.

My divorce cost me way more than that, and was the only way I got fucked at the time.
