Over a year of kicking the escort habit

I just realized it’s been over a year since I stopped the hobby. Was very active from the age of 18 to 33. I still come here ever so often, post once in a while. I do get mini urges, but I’ve never been close to actually reaching out to an escort. Anyone else still frequent TERB/escort sites but don’t actively participate in the hobby? Sometimes I like to see what’s out there and what’s going on, perhaps FOMO lol, but for the most part I’m very happy with my life currently and wouldn’t go back to it (of course never say never, but for now I can’t imagine going back). It’s almost like a bottomless pit and you’ll never be satisfied no matter how many girls you plow through.

Last escort I saw was summer in 2019 , then the pandemic hit, decided not to hobby until it was over. I got used to not seeing escorts and I really don't miss it. I keep in touch with my regular SP I was seeing, knowing that she is available if I wanted to see her.

I have seen 2 escorts in the last year and a half.
It's just not the same rush as before the pandemic.
Plus going to the GTA is a straight up pain in the ass.

I did this 2020 to 2022, during the pandemic. I was a miserable cunt.

7 days sober. Not plan on getting my 30- day sobriety chip.
No intention of going to meetings.

The older I get the less frequently I hobby.

Probably 50/50 between diminished libido and the higher cost of hobbying these days.

Have to admit I do still get the urge once in a while though, but now it's more mpa's than escorts...
Exactly the same as me. When I was hobbling 2-3x a week it felt completely normal to hit the atm for the hundred dollar bills. I haven’t seen anyone since early Jan and it’s incredible how much money I have saved. I recently was talking to a friend about hour mutual sports hobby and he was telling me how he’s gotta save up a few hundred bucks for new equipment and he should be good to go in the spring. That was a reality check. Regular schmoes will save a few months for a few hundred dollars of spending money for a hobby while I blow a few thousand in the same amount of time for an SP. wtf am I doing? I’ll probably break my streak with a AMP since I’m more interested in massage now with a good release for not much money. Luxury SPs is kind of a waste if time and money.

I got into hobbying right after the pandemic, venturing at least twice a week—first with independents, then shifting to agencies over the last two years to connect with like-minded folks. Then the frequency increased to 3 times a week and sharing similar sentiments as the OP, the more engagement the less satisfaction I got.

Now, I’m on a sabbatical—10 days in—but wow, these have been the longest days I have experienced since 2022. I keep a daily journal, tracking my challenges and the $$$ saved. Staying away has been tough. I even tried a social meet-up with an SP, and while we ended up at her place, I stayed strong. She actually helped reinforce my resolve.

One thing that’s become abundantly clear is that my mood has improved since starting this break—whether that’s from the $$ saved, I’m not entirely sure. Avoiding Terb (but here I am) and schedule-checking definitely helps… aluta continua and victory is far from certain.

My take is find budget friendly sp's and enjoy while you can. Once you start getting ED you will wish you had indulged more when you could give somebody a hard pounding with hard wood.

Maybe the frequency is the problem, like with all vices. Why not try once every 2-3 weeks instead of quitting cold turkey?

In the spirit of "tame your urges, you tame the world" that is a plausible.

When the singing group N.W.A. did the song lyrics Life ain’t nothing but bitches and money, they were criticized. But scholars pointed out that some ancient Greek philosophers had analyzed male life the same way.

While the nature of life is that bitches can only be obtained if sufficient current money exists (or potential future money for the very young male), life cannot be enjoyed if all money is spent on bitches.

An additional factor is that you don’t get to take money with you when you die, and even if you could, no major religion includes the promise of a brothel in the afterlife. Plus as others have pointed out, the ability to perform sexually declines as the male ages.

So there is some proper balance for everyone, depending on asset accumulation, current income, relative enjoyment on items purchased other than sex, and life expectancy. No one will ever get it perfect. But I am skeptical that completely eliminating the purchase of commercial sex from the equation would ever be the key to greater happiness, unless the needs are satisfied through a civilian relationship (which of course takes some of the money). I suppose a practical problem is that the higher costs of purchasing quality sex in recent years, coupled with the increased cost of other things, has locked out many purchasers whose income and asset growth has not kept up with inflation. I don’t think those people are happier as a result of giving up the purchase of commercial sex, they are just less unhappy than they would be otherwise. The key, unfortunately, is probably for them to earn more money.

Bro youre getting on my level. I havnt seen a sp but ive been going to clubs for years. Eventaully you realize this is the matrix. Porn is pushed to infleunce us. But there are other ways to find enjoyement in life much cheaper and better for you.

Biggie did a track about this.

This one does, and it's free. But I prefer the here and now.

Personally I find this hobby to be way too addictive. I usually take half year to a year hiatus after few months of extensive hobbying. Actually planning to take a break in April but there are few girls I would love to see before that

I've never quit but I will say I saw 1 SP per month, occasionally 2, while I was working. But since I've hung up my working shoes I see about 3 SPs per month and enjoy every moment of it. And that's only with money accumulated specifically for this hobby and not compromising anything on the home front....just wishing I was younger. lol
