personally I believe its more comfortable and certainly a lot less hassle to both parties tobe with one another knowing all things are safe and enjoyable.
why stray off if there are so many pitfalls.

I see your point but I enjoy the excitement of a new adventure.  I have had a few "mini" ATF's usually only lasting no more than 4 sessions before the spark fizzes out.   If I had a true long term ATF I would marry her but already have the ball and chain at home.  I guess the hobby has its choices and to each their own.

good points I can only agree totally.

I have a provider who I absolutely adore, been seeing her for 4 yrs (give or take), as a provider and OTC- I like to mix it up, every now and then, but the goal is to have a strong 3-4 provider rotation; too much risk in venturing out and thinking with the other head

.....that a lady might be considered an ATF.  ATF's keep things interesting.

I like my ATF because she is consistent, easy to schedule with, great service, and always surprises me with a fresh look.  Not necessarily drastic changes, but a new hairstyle, jewelry, outfit, etc.  That and she is just pretty...GND all american blonde.

Simple, the pussy is that good

...and I have the most fantastic day. In 2 years we've gone from scattered meetings as time allows to day-long meetings and several day-long, OTC, platonic hiking trips. We discuss openly and frequently the boundaries and compartmentalization of our relationship. My circle of friends in this endeavor is small, but she is in the center. It's a unique set of circumstances that I can't imagine being replicated out there.

..when looking for something else. I started for the reasons you mentioned, then found a couple ladies, one in particular, that took the "adventure" to another level or introduced a new dynamic. Didn't go looking for it, but it sure as hell found me!

Same, her- I found a provider this week, who absolutely blew my mind, after 4+ years in the hobby...I think I've got a perfect rotation though- this was my first foray into GFE/higher price...not sure if I can go back to the standard fare

My ATFs are people who I actually like (2, total)- I. Like my approach/results though

It comes down to chemistry.  I know what I'm going to get for my investment.  There is too many fly-by-night providers out there and as hot as some of their photos are, there is no replacing talent and the comfort of knowing someone and them knowing you.

With my ATF I KNOW I'm going to have a great time and hobble away like a pony express horse, rode hard and put away wet. It just sucks spending hard earned cash on meeting someone new and having a bad or so so experience.

They say variety is the spice of life. LOL But I do like being considered as an ATF to clients. It brings some familiarity to the encounter and allows us to get to know one another so much better, which I think makes for a quality session(s).  
With that said.....I also think it is a good idea to see other providers as well. I am quite comfortable with my abilities but let's face it .....there is something to be said for variety. Isn't there?

nice ass, perfect tits, impeccable muscle control leading to apocalyptic orgasms. In other words, great pussy!

I totally agree that variety is the spice of life. You can't find a new ATF unless you venture out and meet new ladies. I'm trying to set up a date with someone new for next week. It just so comforting knowing you can run back to your ATF if you have a Less that satisfying experience with a new lady. My ATF will kiss me where it hurts and make it all better.
