I for one have been wanting to stop the hobby. Some moral, some financial, mostly the thrill started to wain. In an unscientific, a purely subjective approach, I've felt the hobby changed for me around the time BP got shut down. In broad strokes there are now hi-priced escorts, GFE mills (that I didn't feel safe at, so much fluids transfer-lots of "baby..baby" - shit I hate), happy ending places (limited mileage), and of course there always was/will be the UTR gals that everyone (else) seems to have stashed. If feel, prior to BP shutdown the RS21s, Fuji Spas, E4As, et al served a niche. Mileage varied (but there was mileage), girls were cuter (even some GND) and varied. There were a ton of places like this, well at least that's what I sought out and easily found.

But I digress, like I said I've been wanting to stop and really think that after way more than 21 days, with no really "play button" in site, I may not go back. Seriously considering it. I feel this is
the "natural" pause I needed. And I wonder if it's the end of a vicious cycle for some (maybe a lot) that will change the industry.

Anyway, if you're not too busy ;-) your thoughts would be appreciated.

Nope people will be back. I took a hiatus about 9 mos ago for 9 mos. Ive taken em before 2013 after less than 3yrs took a 1+yr break.2015 again took a 1 yr break. 2018-2019 9 mo break.

It's good to take breaks for hobbbyists and providers. It helps not get you jaded or cynical. Or too jaded and cynical.

Right now i havent seen a pro for over 5 weeks.

"21 days"? This is not drugs or alcohol. For me, I am conservative and I do it once a month. Last time I did it was early Feb. Wanted to go early this month but found out my favorite spot is closed. These girls are already in Asia already knowing that this city is already a sh1tshow.

Everyone is different but if you are truly resolved to leave the hobby then maybe you needed a kick in the pants to get you started which this is.

To make sure you stick with it, try to focus on your reasons and triggers for hobbying. Work on resolving these factors so once the time ends, you won't be tempted to go back and can stick with it. The itch will come back after this hiatus but if you let it pass and dont act on it, I suspect you won't do it again. All about mindset change.

I wish you luck.

If I wanted to quit the hobby, one of the first things I'd do would be to stop visiting review forums! Once life gets back to normal and guys start posting countless reviews again.... reading about how amazing some sweet/gorgeous a chick is, with the most luscious boobs/phenomenal ass, who gives amazing PSE, etc... too tempting to stay away from checking her out. The little head will do everything to overpower the big head, and will ultimately win! 2nd thing I'd do would be to not visit eros, rubratings, cityxguide, or whatever.... again, take the temptations away and you'll be more likely to succeed.

I’d have to say for some (obviously not you)pussy, sex is a drug.I think op is referring to doing something that he really doesn’t enjoy much anymore,it just fills some type of void. I can identify with him.It’s enjoyable for the hour or two,the instant gratification.
My 2cents and what bothers me the most, if I stop to think is.....
Before I found this hobby I was a man of principle.
Now it’s shameful to give lessons to my sons about principles when I live with none.

Hi Btk, Great response. You got what I was trying to say. I guess it's easier to kick-it with this hiatus and the lack of enjoyment from it. As someone else suggest, correctly, I shouldn't be looking at the site if I really want to kick-it. Lockdown boredom brings me back for now. Great observation about the demise of your principles. I guess a lot of us who hide this from their SO are in the same position, you succinctly put that into words. Thanks.
