Hi there,

I was just wondering … how would one define “Hobbyist” in the context of terb?

It’s used often – but what is the “paint-brush” meaning?

Smiles
 
Someone who enjoys spening money on beautiful women for Sensual, Sexual, or Erotic enjoyment. The true hobbyist knows that this entertainment will not replace a real relationship and keeps them separate.

Someone that's not getting paid to do it.
 
Someone whos hobby is partaking in the sex industry. It beats stamp and coin collecting, and it has its specialists, those who prefer strip joints over massage parlors for example.

I have also heard the term sportsman used for the same thing. I actually prefer that term.

In Britain they call a hobbiest a punter. Don't know where that comes from.

Another way of putting it - its a john who keeps going back for more.
 
I think hobbyist referring to a sex client is a new term, an on-line euphemism or doublespeak to be less offensive than a john which is more for those who seek streetwalkers. I never heard of the term before coming on TERB over a year ago.

Punter can refer to those who gamble as well as check out prostitutes in the UK, it seems to mean a regular guy or bloke as well - a pub would try to draw in the punters.
 
A hobbyist is one that participates in the adult enteratainment industry. Regardless if you are a patron of a strip club, if you frequent massage parlours, or if you book SP's (incall or out), you are considered a hobbyist. That is my definition at least. :cool:

Also, if you have a handle on TERB...LOL
 
Depends on who's talking

Street Term -- General Public (Polite) Term -- Insider's Term

John -- Customer -- Hobbyist/Client

Whore/Hooker -- Hooker/Call Girl/Escort -- SP/Provider
 
Its real

Plenty of good definitions here, but I object to the "....will not replace...". I have had lots of the 'real', and I am NOT going back.
My favs are certainly 'real' and on average, they GFE me as well or better than almost all my civilians. Notwithstanding the good times and wonderful women (and I am glad I experienced most of it), this is better.

So... are you going to marry one of them, or be able to go to her place for a freebie where there's no money involved, or meet her family, or bring her to meet your family, etc. In my books, that's a "real" relationship, and not just someone offering a good GFE (I've had plenty of these as well).
 
I collect baseball cards and thought that TERB was a hobby forum for collecting cards....;)

Am I in the wrong place???
 
Good Questions

I have been married enough, dont want to do it again. Certainly dont want to co-habit ever again!
Dont need freebies. Frankly, I would feel bad taking their time if I were not paying, or bringing SERIOUS gifts. I also LIKE the clarity of relationship (i.e. I am BIG Daddy).
Never was keen on meeting family.
My family has met enough of my relationships over the years, no need for more.

It seems to me that my views are to some extent because I am an introverted thinker (i.e. vs an extroverted touchy-feely type).
