I went 15 years without intimacies as well.

In terms of psychology it's empty love-commitment. I care for my wife's well being and have more than complied with the social contract that comes with marriage.

Using the same language, we experience infatuation with our hourly girlfriends.

And those of us who have the same hourly girlfriends that we actually like (and who actually like us), kick it up a notch-romantic love: passion+intimacy.

The perfect solution if you can afford is providers or SB's.

A lot of great info and valuable insight on this forum but I would appreciate some input.

I am in a dead bedroom. Sex stopped in September as my wife battled some personal issues. We did it one time last month for the first time since then, and it was great to be honest. Otherwise a good and loving relationship, no resentment outside the lack of sex. There is intimacy, physical touch, cuddling that I know a lot of you crave from what I've read here but aren't getting. But the lack of sex is really gnawing at me.

She's committed to working on it, and I do have hope of improvement and last month was a good step in that direction. But my patience wears thin. Honestly I am weak. I think about it all the time to the point of being distracted and it feels like it is tearing me apart. But equally I feel like if I took care of needs elsewhere that would also gnaw at me. I feel like either choice would make me miserable.

I realize it might be a breach of ettiquette to ask for advice here without providing any contribution first, but I feel like there's some expertise here. I'm not a moron, I know how to search reviews and conduct basic research, but I would love to hear some veteran opinions on this.
Like other guys, six months for me would be a drop in the bucket. I spent years trying to bury my frustration in my work. After retirement I tried drowning it in alcohol. For me, walking into an amp was something I should have done long ago. You said your wife is comitted to working on it. Stay with her and give her whatever help she needs. Remember that she is your partner in life and not a convenience or a toy for you to play with. Like some other guys have said, if you walk into the world of amps, you may never walk out. Listen to your conscience and don't do anything that you might regret later.

It’s a deep, deep rabbit hole, even walking to the edge of the rabbit hole to take a peek inside is dangerous, stand on solid ground while taking a look or you may slip and fall, then there’s no turning back.

I don’t get the addiction. If I did it all the time I get bored, more spoiled and far more picky on how sessions are supposed to go. It really feels like guys here are opposed to alone time and use amps as a complete substitution. I feel Alone time is important to reflect on the in person experiences.

I actually had the same concerns before I fell down the rabbit hole. I did try working it out with the SO. After a while it became obvious that things were not going to change, so I needed another solution. Having played in AMPs before, it was easy to come back. I do go a little higher end than AMPs now, I much prefer an apartment setting like CP or EPM.

6 months isn't that long, and if you believe that your SO is making an honest effort to fix her issues, you should definitely try to stick with her.

The other issue is that professional sex, especially if performed by an artist like Gloria, is going to rock your world. Going back to vanilla sex with the wife becomes difficult. Better for you if you don't know what you're missing.

You may have hit on something with "alone time". I spent a few decades on the road as a service tech and the only contact I had was a phone call to the office or getting a work order signed by a customer. When I got home I had more alone time. I like soltitude as much as anyone but that was not it, it was loneliness. Add to that many nights of rolling into a hotel at night, too late to even think about finding any action and getting up early to do it again. Amps for me are a way to get the attention that I never had in all those years and to get it from Asian women whom I am very fond of. Killing two birds with one stone. You are right about possibly getting bored. Anything can get old if it's overdone. You have to be aware of your tolerance level. As for my level, I have an appointment for later this week and planning on making one for tomorrow. You are probably younger than me and have other things going for you. Stay with them and don't overdo the amps. Happy Hunting.

Interesting perspective. I understand what you are saying. Thanks for sharing.

Yep. Thus my need for sporadic breaks.

I would advise to wait longer. You said she'll work on it, so I'll give her a couple months time. Myself on the other hand being in my 20s but in a dead bedroom. Only time we're intimate is on vacation or a "full moon."
This hobby is addictive and risky and if you love your wife I would hold off from indulging.

Who texts you?
The agency or individual providers?
Either one is rather pushy behavior, IMO.
Unless it is a very familiar individual regular who knows you would like to be notified when she is in town.

You are in your 20s and get nothing? WTF man. What did you marry your HS sweetheart or something? I'm not trying to be a dick but if it's like that in your 20s you gotta get out. My situation changed close to 40, after 15+ yrs and kids, while not acceptable to me I kinda get it because we are getting older and there is a lot more job/kid/financial stress. I used to get laid almost every day in the 20s, which sometimes, still wasn't enough but I didn't supplement with mongering until close to 40. My greatest achievement sexually outside of mongering was in my 20s... 3 diff girls in a 2 day weekend (and none of them knew about each other). When you are in your 20s there is no reason to accept a dead bedroom. Even if you only live an average life you're talking 50+ years to go. My advice... unless you have very young kids already, definitely roll out.

If you want to keep the marriage healthy, you have to have some kind of intimacy on a regular basis. Both sides have to be proactive. The classic ‘always be dating your wife’ is true.
I would go to marriage counseling asap before it’s too late.

Maybe. My parents are in their 70s. Married for 50 years. My Dad, in a tmi moment told me it’s been sexless for damn near 20 years; but is stronger than ever. Why? His equipment hasn’t worked in years and he stopped caring along time ago. I think this place skews things; there are plenty of guys once they hit 60 who are done with sex altogether and are totally fine with that decision. It’s one less thing to worry about.

I have had more than my share of sessions which had me wishing for time with my SO. I personally never had any problem with the quality of sex. it was the quantity of sex that perturbs me.
