That tells me I'm not a polymorhpo.  

I guess it depends on your definition of "love". I love a lot of people, but in different ways. There are about a dozen women here that I love to spend time with every chance I get. I think about all of them frequently.  

My second marriage was just about done when I started P4P and I ended it a couple of months after. As to being able to love more than one at a time, I am very much poly amorous.  

I have definitely thought I could fall in love with a hooker. Only twice, and they were both extraordinary people.  I took a sincere interest in them and they showed their affection in the only genuine way a hooker can, by banging you off the clock until your dick falls off.  I didn't get past the whistful daydreaming stage, and definitely didn't tell them. If only my wife would bang me off the clock. That would be nice.

When I became a young man I fell in love with whoever was in front of me.  Later I would form longer term infatuations.  But somebody new could still walk in at any moment.  When I got married the first time, I still had two females on the side, one of whom I carried on a long term affair until I was caught and divorced.   Foolishly I got married a second time.  Now regret that error.  My wife is a friend (kind of a bitchy friend, but oh well) rather than my "love."   The impulse to "love" has dwindled as I've gotten older.  Now I form intimate friendships.  I just happen to like to keep friends forever.  That's a sort of love, I guess.  I don't need or want a million friends.  I've never kicked a friend out who wasn't exploitative.  So once they're friends, they're friends as long as they want to be.

before my wife passed.  However, if you want to include the question of whether a man can love more than one hooker at a time, I would say in my case, a definite YES.  

Nothing wrong with it......

We love all our children, all our nieces and nephews, all our dogs and cats. Why would spouses, mistresses, girlfriends and hookers work differently?

There is this lady who is one of the most gorgeous, sexy and prettiest women I have ever seen in my over four decades on this earth.   Wha amazes me is she's a provider and is what what low volume now.  I was insanely lucky to meet her and wow...I can't stop thinking about her.  She's amazing and in reality if she moved to my area and wanted to try a relationship I would at least try it.  Plus, the sex with her was just amazing.  When we are together it's pure sexual pleasure, but not in a porn style way.  More of a passionate type.  But, she's the only one.

... there's only one word for "love". Greek, for example, has four distinct words for love:  agápe, éros, philía, and storgē.  

You can love whoever you want.

I am single, no children, never married.  Not involved in a serious civvie relationship in over a decade.  I have several current ATF's, and several others I see less often, or don't feel quite the same about, plus a number who have left the game.  Do I love them?  Yes, all of them.  Would I enter into a serious relationship with any of them transcending the hobby?   Maybe.  Then again, I am definitely polyamorous.   I like it, because that's who and what I am, at the present time.    

This was a great quote by Micktoz that bears repeating: "The greatest way of showing love is being willing to let someone go when they want change. Real love isn't possession."

I would offer the opinion that we could all "go the bank" with Melissa's observations and advice.  From my own personal experience, her advice about expressing "love" to a provider is "death on wheels" if you want to maintain an ongoing  relationship with her!  

Tried to love two at once nearly killed me.  Felt so damn guilty. Nope, not for me.

Various philosophers and theologians slice and dice it even more finely. Their writings can be quite extensive, but here's the short version:

Come on! Spending an hour or two once or twice a week inside four walls is hardly enough time to fall truly in love! Even if you throw in a little bit of OTC time on top! That’s a lusty friendship with good sex!  In my opinion, it takes a year of almost constantly being together to Fall fully in love with someone. My philosophy comes from living in a four season climate, and I think you need to see that persons holiday family interactions etc. before truly knowing them and being fully in love! That’s loving a wife versus loving a provider! How about Arie on the Batchelor? Any true love there? Not!!

Lots of definitions for love, but the key thing is how one behaves.  

It I see very easy and natural to fall for someone you get intimate with. I'd love a secret rendezvous with a married guy, I'm a weirdo 🙃

Human, yes. Complicated, yes. I think I have some of that same conflict.

If you google the question you'll find that some women prefer the feelings of no condom.  Part of it is psychological, of course.  Many say condoms dry them out quicker.  Some really get turned on by the thought of a man cumming inside them.  A large percentage also say they really can't feel the difference.  And a few prefer the feeling of condoms. So of course it is going to vary.

I was never able to talk myself out of being in love.  But as they say, time heals all wounds.  

I think I'm in love.  😍
