Demographic Inquiry Incoming!

At the request of some hobbyists for a similar questionnaire to the one I provided the ladies...inquiry for the gentlemen out there.

1. How old were you when you first paid for companionship?
2. How did you get the idea to do so?
3. What was your life situation when you did (married/single/employed/homeless/other/etc)?
4. How long have you been a hobbyist?
5. How did you find ECCIE?
6. Are you married?
7. If so, does she know or suspect that you are a hobbyist?
8. At what age did you lose your virginity?
9. Did you have any abusive parents or relatives and/or had you ever been molested as a minor?

Feel free to expound on any particulars that you like, but these questions provide a decent baseline for comparison.

And since I've started here, here's my baseline:

1. 26
2. I was in Vegas, there were flyers everywhere. I subsequently learned that hookers don't charge $3000 an hour and I overpaid.
3. Single at the time.
4. A year and change.
5. I think I found ECCIE through googling.
6 Yes
7. No
8. 19
9. Yes.
1. 44
2. Was going to a gentlemans club one night and when I parked a girl come up to my truck window and just started small talking, I took her to the store and bought her some cigarettes (went to the bathroom and freshened up, lol) got back in the truck and was backing out and she asked me if I wanted a blow job. I was in Charleston NC. Had $85000 cash because I was buying a boat, got a blowjob and cim for $40---in still not able to quit smiling about that trip.
3. Uhggg, married
4. Starting Hobbying ever since
5. Found usasexguide first and then eccie once headed west looking.
7. Not really hobbying, but (and this is a true story) but I think Dr. Laura (radio marriage counsler) said on her show that a man is wired to enjoy blowjobs and that some battles are not worth fighting. Having an affair is a marriage killer but buying a bj is okay.
8. 14
9. Had some neighborhood girls hold me down and strip me at age 13, I did not appreciate that at all and I could not move because they had me pinned down.
1. 52
2. A friend turned me on to it.
3. Married
4. Ever since
5. Was a member of ASPD.
6. Yes
7. I don't think so.

5. How did you find ECCIE? Originally Posted by TravelingGentleman

One ad mentioned the acronym ECCIE, so I looked it up and came on here, and eventually gained my second set of lessons in "the hobby". Being able to see reviews and feedback on providers finally made "hobbying" viable to me.

6. Are you married? Originally Posted by TravelingGentleman

8. At what age did you lose your virginity? Originally Posted by TravelingGentleman
Relatively late compared to my peers, as I was already past the age of consent.

9. Did you have any abusive parents or relatives and/or had you ever been molested as a minor? Originally Posted by TravelingGentleman
Thankfully,no.

50+

Not getting any at home, so posted ad on CL looking for a casual encounter, a woman offered sex for money, I accepted, had 2 more CL encounters, then started looking for escorts on here, BP, etc.

1. How old were you when you first paid for companionship?

59, never had the need to pay (directly) before then.

2. How did you get the idea to do so?

Menopause killed it dead at home. I pondered civie relationships but didn't need someone developing any emotional attachments and potentially trying to get involved with my real life because other than a home sex life, my real life was and still is just fine.

3. What was your life situation when you did (married/single/employed/homeless/other/etc)?

Married, employed homeowner.

4. How long have you been a hobbyist?

About 3 1/2 years, about 70 sessions.

5. How did you find ECCIE?

I am very security minded and BP seemed like a crap shoot. I found ECCIE, spent 6 months here studying how to do this as safely as possible, kept my mouth shut for those 6 months and just learned plus I joined P411. I finally got the courage to make my first appointment, choosing a very well regarded and highly reviewed lady (now retired). I of course had zero references but somehow sweet talked her into seeing me.

6. Are you married?

Married.

7. If so, does she know or suspect that you are a hobbyist?

No.

8. At what age did you lose your virginity?

15

9. Did you have any abusive parents or relatives and/or had you ever been molested as a minor?

Nope, came from a great home and family.

1. How old were you when you first paid for companionship?
28

2. How did you get the idea to do so?
I creeped on bp for months and didn't have the balls. I checked in the casual encounters on Craigslist. Found someone who was real for once. We texted. Said I could come see her but she required $100 to get into her house. We went upstairs and got one of the best bjs of my life. I became a regular of hers.

3. What was your life situation when you did (married/single/employed/homeless/other/etc)?
Single

4. How long have you been a hobbyist? 3 years. I've only saw maybe 6 different women. I'm loyal and when I find a good bj I keep going back.

5. How did you find ECCIE? I don't remember actually.

6. Are you married?no

7. If so, does she know or suspect that you are a hobbyist?
8. At what age did you lose your virginity?19. I had a gf for 4 years starting when I was 15. She was a prude. Let me finger bang her but she would never touch me. 3 years of blue balls.

9. Did you have any abusive parents or relatives and/or had you ever been molested as a minor? No

2. How did you get the idea to do so?
I was at a strip club and a girl wanted me to give her a ride home implying what that meant. Today, I never would have gotten out of my vehicle -- but I was young and very curious. It was a terrible neighborhood and she didn't have a bed, just a mattress on the floor. She gave me a first class blow job, I gave her $20 and I was on my way. I was in and out without incident, but I consider myself very lucky!

3. What was your life situation when you did (married/single/employed/homeless/other/etc)?
Married

4. How long have you been a hobbyist? 30+ years

5. How did you find ECCIE? I had visited ASPD a few times before it went away and I got to ECCIE from there.

6. Are you married? Yes

7. If so, does she know or suspect that you are a hobbyist? No

8. At what age did you lose your virginity? 16 to the girl I married. My first hobby experience was my first time with another woman. That's a big part of the reason I got into it -- to experience the variety that I had missed out on when I was younger.

9. Did you have any abusive parents or relatives and/or had you ever been molested as a minor? No
