Divorced for just over 2 years now and sooooo happy about it. I view SPs and MAs as "quantifiably compensated companionship" and happiness therapy. If any explanation is needed: $240 avg. for once/wk x 52 = $12,480 annual. Seems like a lot but this is to enjoy the fine company of a variety of personable, intelligent, beautiful ladies in a variety of dress and settings, incalls as well as outcalls to my apartment. Frankly, I have a developed my complement of a half dozen 'regulars' who provide truly nice companionship and I have the option to "spice it up" occasionally with someone new. On the other hand, a 10 day hassle-full vacation with the ex ran me over $6,000 and left me stressed (did she ever put down her damned smart-phone?) and lacking even a lousy hand job. Happy I can share the wisdom.
