My man , since everyone is sharing . I’ve been in this hobby almost 4 years , I had too the wife just has zero libido and kids being young took up all her attention so long story short after multiple discussions , crying on her part and me getting angry and her promising to understand my needs on intimacy and her getting checked out by doctor prescribed drugs to help with libido they were making her ill so I gave up begging for sex and I do it once in awhile but even though I’m fortunate that my wife is good looking youthful fit but is suburban mom mentality and just having me sharing family time is what makes her happy she is good but my needs are not met and I’m not brad Pitt but I still have got game So it’s me being repulsive , I tske care of my family but I get my sex from RMP evry couple of weeks , when I can . I never in a Million years expected to pay for it but here I am and I judge no one anymore . Yes , I’m my twenties I judged my friends who would go to AmPs and look at me now ? Life is full of peaks and valleys And these are things we tske to our graves because society would not understand how we couple do this to our families even though we are programmed to hunt and have sex with women since cavemen !
You make a phenomenal point here though. And I don't judge anybody, per se, but I have opinions on the matter.
A relationship isn't just supposed to be self serving. It seems like you made an attempt to communicate what makes a relationship successful for you. There are other things that CAN be fulfilled outside of that specific relationship, while you're still making everything work within it. But that communication is the key.
I am single. It's by my own decision. But I know when I get in to a relationship, it's my responsibility to fulfill HER expectations of the me in the deal. That's not necessarily sex. It's everything. And vice versa. And as we get older, the sex side is going to come with some challenges, like medically, fantasies, variety, bucket list, etc. These can all be handled while the home is still prioritized.
The problem comes in when there is selfishness that plays a part. Building more then the physical with the outsider so that it takes away from the inside. Or let's say the sex life could be fulfilling and engaging at home, but we still want to roll the dice and put the ones we care about at risk. That creates a different scenario that isn't really fair.
Lot's of variables to every individual situation, but your particular one speaks volumes about how a lot of people end up in this hobby, and it isn't about greed, being self centered, or a cheater. It is about a need that isn't being fulfilled, and this hobby provides a solution where everybody wins in reality.
