I think that any attempt to create dichotomies out of the subject of sexual attraction are doomed to failure.

The many dimensions and nuances that make up this subject are too numberous to allow simplification.

That said, people need to conduct themselves with humanity and civility when exploring their needs vis a vis the pay for play world we inhabit.

It will necessarily lead to problems, but on the plus side, it will always be very interesting.

It's really a metaphor for life.

maybe even more

For the purposes of this board it's less about "types" and more about tolerance.  There are at times, extreme reactions in both directions but I think most folks have a handle on what they want from P4P.

There are many guys that view providers and women as -- a life support system for a pussy/ass.

Then there are the guys that are looking for some sort of emotional connection and faux romance.

The 2 types have never really gotten along or seen eye to eye on TER or the hobby in general.  Comments? Am I wrong?  I think not.

the equation of an "emotional connection" with "faux romance" is so completely not necessary. one can have one without the other, for example.

there's a lady or two who i know are involved with a "family life" that certainly precludes any sort of romance, even a faux romance. (Xmas cards with the lady and her family around the tree will make that clear!) yet there is an emotional connection, some kind of friendship.....

seeking an emotional connection is not the same as seeking a faux romance. one can seek an emotional / sexual connection without romance and certainly without faux romance.

your definition of your 2nd type is simply and thoroughly flawed because it is confused.

actually your first type has a similar confusion also.

All dichotomies oversimplify, sexual or otherwise.

I read the OP as nothing more than stating what sould be obvious in this world but is not always so:  there is a physical piece of the attraction and an emotional one.  The proportions differ person to person--and duo to duo--and that causes much of the hostility that can boil over on posts.

The emotional side has many sub categoies from friendship to falling off the deep end.  The physical part also has different people valuing hair of breasts or other aspects differently, but easier to describe/understand.

I would venture almost everyone here values the physical aspect, but some put very little weight on the emotiona.  Some of those who almost exclusively value the physical have great difficulty accepting that others also value the emotional.

I think there are 3 as well, good ones, bad ones and medium ones!

She has her own good career, she's independantm and I don't have to worry about her leaving me because she cant get sex.

What is looking for life support system? Looser of some kind?

Emotional connection and faux romance? another type of looser.

Apparently, you have not met many people on here that are pretty stable emotionally, economically and are not looking for support, emotional connection or faux romance. I do not know whether you are a provider, hobbyist or a troll. If you are provider, you are doing something terrible wrong, if you are only meeting clients that fit your looser definition. If you are a hobbyists, you need professional psychiatric help and finally if you are troll, you are clueless so, go fuck yourself.

You don’t have good sex.

When you get into faux emotional/faux romance, you don’t have good sex.

Yep, well proportioned and good looking women attractive women me want to fuck so I do.

Less psych babble and more fucking. It is weird thing, the more you try to friend, emotional attachment, romance, whatever the fuck may, the harder it is. On the other hand, you stay detached all comes your way, why is that?

....make sure you make that known up front and make sure you are both honest with each other, otherwise it might get very dangerous......

also make sure the runny nose isn't from sinus trouble or a cold.....lol!

Those that say there are two types of people, and those that don't.

(plagerized from some stand-up comedian I saw years ago)

You are clearly a "physical only" kind of person, and as I predicted you have little willingness to accept that anyone might see things differently than you do.

"Stay detached all comes your way"?  I guess that depends upon what you enjoy.  Glad your goals in life are simplistic and it works for you.

The PSEs, big sex show actress types, and GFEs, the emotional connection real girl next door types. The GFEs are really hard to find, and I find them absolutely thrilling.

I assume that you are indicating that your second type is looking for an emotional connection and faux romance that extends beyond the hotel room door.

A great Canadian provider once posted on this board that she falls in love with almost every client she sees - but only during the hour or two that she sees them.

Having seen her a few times, I completely understand what she meant when she made that post. My attitude is similar. I am looking for an emotional connection and faux romance for the hour or two I am with a provider. But not beyond the hotel room door.
