You are right! I think it’s a psychological thing for 99%!! 50% realize it and don’t have the willpower to go against the tide and the other 50% are like “fuck it, on to the next one”. Best of luck to you!
Oh so the assumption is 99% are after the conquest? Not so sure that’s true. The conquest of getting a young hottie in real life without paying $100+ in fees would probably be more rewarding. I mean we are all human and want to get more of everything if we can, but I am guessing most people are into Amp world for the sensual pleasures of touch and Os.

Best of luck.

Covid has caused us and given us the opportunity to think and rethink many things.

Good advice to the newbies and a good refresher for us who have been in the game for a while.

“- don't get involved with providers, you're in this to get off not to save someone. They don't need to "know you"

More often the not, the involvement is not to save someone, although for a newbie that is most likely the reason combined with other reasons. The involvement develops over extended time with each other.

“be prepared to get addicted.” There are many levels of addiction in this hobby. It’s easy to move from one addiction to another.

Finding this site was a blessing for me at first. Finally I could communicate and share with other mongers. I ran into a few a-holes at first when I asked questions in PMs but eventually filtered them out for the quality guys in this site. I've played this game all around the US and abroad for many years before the internet. Reminiscing on checking into a hotel room in a random city and immediately pulling out the phone book in the nightstand and flipping to "adult entertainers"....too many stories to tell and access to girls has come a long way.

I always saw this as my thing. A fun experience that I enjoyed and have been super careful about all these years. My favorite move was to book an attractive massage therapist in a city for multiple nights. By the last night I would have charmed them into having "I'll never see this travelled again and I like him" sex with me. Turning a massage therapist was the biggest rush. I think I've been missing that the most during covid.

Reading many of your collective stories of loneliness, lack of intimacy with your spouses, and just need for physical release gave me a moment of clarity. I am likely addicted to this. First off, my wife of many years and I have sex multiple times a week and I get attention from women constantly. I'm not Brad Pitt but I am a handsome friendly guy who is in shape and women can tell I have money. Not saying this to brag because I'm also the guy who has had sex with awful providers I wouldn't even look at in real life literally hours after having amazing sex with my attractive wife. I told myself it was "feeding the wolf". Well, all this time at home during covid has hammered it into my head that this life is no longer for me and I'm lucky to have made it out without getting busted or an STD.

This will be super tough for me because it's been a part of my life for so long but it needs to happen.

There are a bunch of really cool guys on this site and I wish you all well. I hope you all find the unicorn provider experiences we all are constantly chasing.

To the newbies in the game....
treat this like you're a jewel thief, who does not want to get caught.
- always do your research online, there's no excuse not to
- use a burner number
- do this sober.
- if something feels off just walk away. Don't ever go somewhere you wouldn't go in real life.

- don't get involved with providers, you're in this to get off not to save someone. They don't need to "know you"

- lastly, be prepared to get addicted. This is a really fun hobby with extreme highs when things go well but you need to put in the work.

Take care guys

@Berger45 So, did you fall off the wagon yet?

You know you can’t stop. You will find yourself checking the site “just to see what’s up” then you look again, you’ll start dreaming about that feeling the same feeling you had when you “turned” her for the first time, “ah that was good, I bet I still got it”. And before you know it you pull out your little book, you know because you’ve been doing it before the internet started. Lol

I really hope you can do this but my friends I’ll say it clear, the odds are against us with this hobby.
I was thinking the same. Good one

Hi Guys!

So I have not given in and seen a provider since stopping. It has however been ridiculously difficult. I'm a super disciplined individual and it's disturbing how much of a pull the hobby has on me. My sexlife with my SO has never been better so that's awesome. I've confirmed that this is indeed a mental addiction for me and something I need to overcome.

I've been concentrating on a conversation I had with a super hot young provider a while ago. She asked me if I had a SO and I said yes. She followed that by does she not give you what you want? I said no she gives me whatever I want....that's when she said "why are you doing this? You're a good looking guy who could pick up a girl for free?" My response was to jokingly say "my odds are better with you". We both laughed and got to it. Man that conversation haunts me now because I don't have an answer beyond "because I can't stop myself". This is my truth and I am not implying this applies to any of you guys. I just feel I can be honest here.

I've been reading some reviews and have to say, I feel like the sober guy at the party. I smile reading about your awesome sessions and give you the "better luck next time" nod when you TOFTT.

I'll check in every now and then and will offer input when I can contribute to the discussion.

I've had similar experiences by a number of providers and share your sentiment, the hobby has taken a toll on my relationship, and my SO and I agree that I need counseling.

I've finally opened my eyes and had to tell myself wth am I doing my SO is hotter than nearly all of the providers that I have seen. I got into this scene 11 years ago and had very limited awesome moments and tons of good times. But if I could I would go back and never get involved

So your SO caught you or you owned up to it? Did you tell your SO you have a "sex addiction" or something more vague? Fascinated by this...

Providers kept texting me to let me know of their availability. So yeah after that I owned up. Not a sex addiction persay because I try not to do sex since I'm committed. Just HJ and/or BJ etc.

I'm addicted to variance ? Sensual touch ? Idk but at this point it's been over 2 months and that's a record! Over a decade and this is a record for me smh.

And you’re SO prefers that you stop seeing massage girls, or are you doing it for yourself? I guess I personally love the massage part and even occasionally see chiropractor/ acupuncture. My SO totally knows as I was honest from day one and feels it is therapeutic. She even goes once in a blue moon and we have therapists visit us once in a while. I am guessing people that really feel the need to quit do way more often than most of us?

Good post. Reading your post is like I wrote it. Could’ve said it better. I’ve been at it for just as long and I’m coming to the end of a good run. I’m just not into it anymore honestly lol. I saw my regular provider for the last time that other day. So I probably hang it up. Good advice on not getting involved with a provider. I made that mistake twice lol. Not recommended. They are in this business for a reason. Don’t get personal with them. It won’t work.
I have had some good times and bad times. It was fun but time to move on. Good luck !

Well my SO definitely wants me to stop she can't believe that I would even go and do something like that (I'm still in my prime ). And besides that, the realization that it's hard to stop just makes me want to stop. Like it's been 11+ years I've seen dozens of amps close, I've seen providers change their lives and leave the business and I've seen so many really lose their sex appeal and let themselves go and also lose a few screws.

So it just isn't the hobby for me anymore I've seen the reality of it and not just the mirage, of a fun thrilling time.
