So there's a fine line between reality and fantasy.  The infamous post re: Farrah is the reality side and even had me "check" how much I invest in appointments longer than 2 hours.  Then I read your post Michelle and it reminds me of why I do 2 hour and longer appointments.....because of the positives.  I don't do extended appointments often, unless there is an obvious vibe/connection.  And that has happened on several occasions.

Occasion 1:  In my early hobby days my third experience was with a newbie provider.  We joke to this day that we both "broke-into-the-league" at the same time.  In short, she was gorgeous (a 10 by any standard), she was intelligent, conversational, engaging, etc. etc..  She broke my cherry for overnight/weekend appointments.  I flew her out to meet me in San Fran and Vegas while I was there on business.  She made the economics of those trips very affordable w/o any request by me.  Simply put, we thoroughly enjoyed our time together.  She has since retired and is married living on the west coast.  We stay in contact to this day simply on a friendship basis.  Her post provider world is stable, from what I see, and she's made the transition well.  A rarity indeed in the hobby world.

Occasion 2:  Mid hobby career I happened upon another provider who a joy to be with as she mastered the art caring and paying attention to detail.  She would hang my clothes for me at the beginning of a session; during the session her goal was to make sure I was shooting air by the time I walked out the door.  At the end of one our sessions she even broke out the hotel iron to press my shirt as she said it was a bit to wrinkled for me to back to work with it like that.  When she came to the cross road of retirement she sent me an email noting that though she is retiring she wanted to continue to see me and apparently a few other of her clients.  At the time I declined cause I saw the potential for things to cross that line into reality.  I also thought she'll be back as most do from "retirement."  NOT!  I have not seen any trace of her since she left the business. I now regret that I did not keep in touch with her as she really knew how to make you feel like the king on the throne.

Occasion 3:  Met a provider via a long ago now defunct agency.  We had an exquisite couple of sessions with major connection/vibe.  During one of our meetings she says she is only doing this for a short period of time.  She said she does not date much and really enjoys our time together.  She asks me that when she quits would I mind we continue seeing each other for "regular dates", movies, dinner, etc..  She noted, don't worry about the money I could give her whatever I wanted if anything at all.  She just really wanted someone to hang out with on occasion.  I got spooked and thought this might turn into a Michael Douglass, Fatal Attraction moment so I did not follow through.   Another regret.  She has since vanished :((  In retrospect, I think her intentions were genuine and she was not a bunny boiler.

My positive experiences outweigh the negative by a wide margin.  I have met my share of jaded providers.  Most hide it pretty well but it’s obvious it lurks just below the surface

END OF MESSAGE

I have been very fortunate and honestly met many gentlemen with whom I thoroughly enjoy spending time.  

1. I recently met with a new friend after months of trying to coordinate our schedules. To say he rocked my world is putting it mildly, just pure carnal pleasure. That was certainly enjoyable and I hope to see him again soon!  

2. I have also had a friend cook for me. He specially made the meal to fit my diet restrictions and it was so sensual to watch him cook. It really meant a lot to me the care and time he took to prepare a meal for me and it was delicious.  

I could go on and on. I truly adore many of the men I see and we have a great time together.

I'm so jealous about the sushi... My fave!! But I luv when my clients really Gothenburg extra mile to show they care. Today one of my regs brought me roses and Yankee Candles... He said "I know your birthday isn't til thanksgiving time, but I'll be out of town then and I didn't want u to think I forgot"
These kind of awesome surprises mean more to me than any kind of donation ever could. U can't buy things like friendship and loyalty. Sometimes it's the little things that mean so much! Thanx for sharing that story, it's pretty cool!

My experiences are not many, but have been mostly fun.  My favorite was with a woman who was close to half my age.  Her energy level was never ending, but she would notice when I was running out of steam from the intense action.  She would suggest we take a break like she was in need of one as well as me, even though I know she could easily have gone longer, but it was sweet of her to make believe otherwise.  Then she would get a tall glass of water and share it with me.  Watching her drink from the same glass as me after all that hot intercourse was actually kind of sensual to me, almost like sharing a wet kiss.  I have seen here since and really enjoy her enthusiasm each time we meet.  
      Since I have seen the Farrah/GFE interview, I can say that it has not altered my view of the women that I have gotten to intimately enjoy.  I have always realized that the grass on my side of the curtain is greener than the grass on the providers side of the curtain.  Meaning that I will most likely get more out of my fantasy being fulfilled than the woman gets out of helping to fulfill them.  I can also say that I did not need for Farrah to pull back the curtain and say, I really was just thinking about my nails the whole time.  When it comes to being with a provider, I use the policy of "don't ask, don't tell".  Whether the provider I am with has an orgasm or not, I hope that she still had a good time regardless.  
     In the end we are just men and women playing adult games. Games as in, let's enjoy ourselves and have fun.

...the time my ATF and I went to hike Old Rag Mountain in SNP (our fourth or fifth adventure out hiking). I have seen her for over two years on a regular basis, so there was plenty of time for mutual trust to develop. She asked if I'd take her hiking one day. "Absolutely!" Our first hike was a rather tame two or three miles which culminated with a wonderful picnic on a blanket high up on a hill overlooking the Shenandoah Valley. We actually fell asleep for a short while in the sun. Earlier in the day, she asked me if anything was wrong. "No", I replied. "I'm having the time of my life. Why do you ask?" "Well, she said, you haven't tried to kiss me or anything". I told her I respect all boundaries and assumed that this was a platonic outing. She agreed, then stepped toward me and planted the sweetest kiss of my life square on the lips. We kissed a few more times during the day, and I'd hold her hand crossing a fallen tree or stream, but mostly it was two people loving each other's company and escaping the "12 by 12" confines and the stress of the city. That was the start of a great and continuing relationship where we have our inside time and outside time together. I spoil her as rotten as I possibly can every time I see her. But our best day together, and we've had many 8-hour inside meetings, was the day we hiked 10+ miles at Old Rag. I've got one cell phone pic of us at the summit that I've buried deep into the files of my computer. The great majority of my hobby experiences are wonderful, but that day was awesome!

Thanks for the post, MC. It's great to read and contribute to positive experiences

Great posting! Kudos to you.

I am very blessed to have many wonderful experiences.
Some particularly stand out this last week.

The first would be the evening referenced in the dinner photo I posted to Theme Day.
I was very surprised when I walked in the door to see my favorite color flowers, wine, and foods all prepared for me for no special reason at all. What a joy and an exciting evening as well!
This would be one of those days where you pinch yourself and think you must be dreaming

Lastly, I was fortunate to spend a few wonderful hours on this last visit with a gentleman I have seen a dozen times but never for that length. He is simply a ray of light to have come through that door and even on a day when his back was being a pest and bothering him, we still managed to have such a wonderful time. The momentum never ceases with this one even if over a simple back rub. I am a lucky girl to be surrounded by such pleasant and exciting people.

Life is good!

I'm not exaggerating when I say that all my experiences with the ladies have been positive.   While some experiences were definitely much better than others, and some were better values than others, none of them would I rate as negative. Perhaps I am just fortunate.  All the ladies that I have met have been sweet, helpful, and honest.   I wish them all a happy life.  
Many people would think that meeting strangers for  brief intimate encounters would be a recipe for disaster.  But to the contrary, I find that it has reaffirmed my faith in humanity

more luck than others. Be it friendship, compassion, the best sex ever, or just variety many have found some or all of those.

Other than my first encounter, like you, I haven't had a negative experience per se but I also haven't found what I'm looking for.  

Hilarious  
I can read these and laugh because I agree and have has some of these happen .
