Like the title says. Do you have any resolutions as a hobbyist for 2026? As a provider? I open this question to any client or provider in any part of the person on person parts of this business.

Mine are:
1) Repeat more. I've been blessed with many of the providers I've seen. There are a good number of them that I really should repeat with.
2) See more independents, in so far as prices are reasonable, and my budget allows. I really meant to see more independents in 2025, I just got too distracted by the ease of my agency romps.

That's not to say that I'm going to stop seeing 'new to me' providers, or stop using agencies. Though that does mean you may get fewer reviews out of me, as I tend to just write a small blurb for a first repeat, and nothing at all for subsequent repeats.

This past year was my first year using agencies and I was so very "excited" by the choices we have here in the GTA! The good majority of the appointments this year were excellent, but some have not worked out as well and important lessons were learned! 2026 is going to be much more "calculated" for me:
  • Max per hour is $350, that means that $370 is not "close enough" - the max is the max!
  • I always show up with a token gift of around $15, so tip of $20 is max because I am already 10% over! There have been few times when emotions took over and tip became $50 - if the appointment was in fact that good then a repeat would be better! It seemed to me that what the provider appreciated much more was the intention and not the actual amount.
  • The 3 rules of Real Estate are Location/Location/Location, and the 3 rules of hobbying are Research/Research/Research LOL Reviews/X/BlueSky/accounting for subjectivity/posting history/all of the "boring" stuff that would never guarantee success, but can definitely make a difference!
In general I expect less activity in 2026 now that the excitement factor has decreased, but of course no use to pretend that there would be any stopping after starting LOL :)

The one thing that being a young (and relatively broke) strip club pervert taught me is that the budget really has to be the budget. I'm lucky at this point in my life, where I'm seeing escorts, and I have a healthy monthly base budget. Plus I can sometimes roll a previous month's leftover budget into current month, or add a bit to the budget if I'm particularly flush with cash. It doesn't hurt that I also like a decent break between sessions.

Blowing your budget can make a good time feel bad.

As far as individual sessions go (and these numbers fluctuate in my head from time to time) I'm pretty comfortable with $400/hr for an independent, $350/hr for an agency, and $300/hr for a classifieds provider. Though less is always nice. I tend to default to hour sessions, possibly longer with repeats, and I usually give a token tip on good or better sessions. So, very similar to you.

While not as exciting as following your dick wherever and whenever it wants to go, I think staying in top of the spending does make for a happier hobbyist, and better sessions because there's less pressure to justify the price.

So now that you're settling into things it's good that you're thinking in terms of budget. I think you'll be a lot happier in the medium to long term.

Exactly so! another lesson for me and similar to what you mentioned, is pacing and breaks between sessions. As Sonic also always says, we want to be in this for the longer term as a wonderful "added flavor" to our lives so all of these things come into play!

Just curious because I don't think I have seen your nominations for Agency SP of the Year 2025 ? There is time still until end of day tomorrow ;)

On the Independent side I nominated Josephine because that was a no brainer for me.

On the agency side, even if I listed them in no particular order, I'd have too much of a hard time figuring out who to nominate. It doesn't help that I had a number of very good sessions near the end of the year and I'd be afraid of recency bias. It also doesn't help that I've had a lot of sessions that were excellent in different ways. I'd never be able to sort it out in a way I was happy with and that I didn't feel did a disservice to a number of providers.

Well I know exactly what you mean - I haven't booked any independents in 2025 so had to nominate in the agency section, and was going through exact same thoughts! Was not easy at all to be sure. :unsure:

Try and hang on to the one I just met. I thought I was done, but through reviews I found THE ONE. She is the best girl I ever met. I hope she doesn't disappear any time soon. Don't want to overstay my welcome so I am not going to stress her out with over visits. Thank you, universe. (China actually)

I tried to wind this aspect of life down in 2025 and it was working until it didn’t. Guess I’m trying to do the same in 2026.

Had an SP (Taya) tell me I didn’t stand a chance of just being with one woman and I think she was right. Wish I was different.

2026 goal - find a way to wind down - or at least substantially wind down. Wish me luck :)

Good luck!

I'm on the opposite end of my curve. I started seeing Escorts at a time when I couldn't really date. Now things are getting back to normal and I don't really want to date (beyond having a woman on my arm for the odd event or occasion).

Be smarter with my spending. This means:

Avoid impulse bookings with new/ unreviewed SPs, which turn out to be disappointments. Stick mostly to regulars and space out the bookings. See a few new ladies, but only after reading reviews first.

When someone cancels, avoid the urge to book anyone who's available. It will be hard (see what I did there?)

Looking back on the past year, half my spending was wasted; the other half was the best money I ever spent. Try to improve that ratio.

I know this makes me unpopular, but I've never liked SP's with too many tats. In fact, I prefer SP's with no tats at all, but that is like finding a unicorn. I guess i save money this way. However in 2026, I'm still looking for a slim SP with no tats, or with very few tats.
