It's awesome that two people can click and have so much fun for so long. Like Kelly, I have some VERY long term friends, although I'm only about 8 years in.
There are so many providers out there and one of the most flattering things is to know that a gentleman has visited others and STILL comes back to see me!
in the hobby:
california brunette - first visited in spring 2004, visited frequently until she moved to california 3 yrs ago. she was in town last week and we had a BALL!!!!
dallas strawberry blonde - first visited summer 2004, visit about 3-4 times year. last saw her a few weeks ago.
mid-cities brunette #1 - first visited summer 2008, recently visited her.
mid-cities brunette #2 - first visited summer 2008, going to visit her this weekend.
relating to dragonfly's post on guilt, i continue to visit w/ them women cos they each have something that intrigues me. they're fun, relatively drama free, down to earth, and sweet as can be. and they're sexy!! i dont have any guilt that they could assuage, but, as one poster in that thread said, it's more about honesty and how those close to you would feel/react should they find out what one does.
that's what i feel bad about - not being able to just say what i'd like sexually. tho we did have a rather open relationship for several years, but not hobby related. i think she'd be equally pissed off at the money i spend as well as not getting what i'm giving to the providers.
out of the hobby: my massage therapist - first massage back in early 1998. last massage a few weeks ago. yesterday [10/18], went w/ her to the new dallas performing arts center grand opening and then to lunch.
I've had 6 that lasted at least three years, and a couple of those around five years. Only one is still active, as the others retired -- although one has "un-retired" recently.
I'm trying to decide what, if anything, that means. Either that I tend to prefer the kind of ladies who tend to have shorter P4P careers, so they're the ones I continue to see. Or that ladies usually decide to retire, earlier than they might otherwise have, because they find themselves with me as a regular client.
Hmmm . . . . Need to give that some more thought.
I think I Understand what you mean, Chevalier, about "shorter P4P" careers. That is one, if not the BIGGEST reason that I am SO happy to have a "combined" business.
I have regular, therapeutic clients that I have been seeing for about 8 years that have become awesome friends!
Hey, it's ALL good!
