Fellas, how much of you "hobby" activity is local vs. on the road?

I'll define "local" as within an hour's drive (+/-) of your home.

Why? Why not?

Time/Availability? (e.g. wifey makes it hard to do locally)

Selection? (not a lot to choose from where I live)

Economics? (pricing is more/less favorable where I live)

Discretion? (I'm the high school principal and as much as I fantasize about it I realize it isn't a good idea to sleep with my former students, etc.)

Market knowledge? (I know my local scene, why mess with a good thing and get ripped off somewhere else)

Myself: My on the road activity has declined substantially over the years primarily because my travel in general has declined (or at least is more in & out with less time for fun) coupled with being in a good market (ATL)

100% on the road.

There's not much to choose from here.
Running into someone I know is highly probable.
I risk a lot if I hobby at home.
Economics doesn't play much of a role.

All on the road unless I choose to fly a gal in for a few days at home.

All road for me.

Not an issue with the wife. Mrs. Mazo knows, approves, and will join in when she finds a provider that appeals to her. (Alas, she's very picky so not too much extra fun for me.)

My problem is the locals. Very thin selection. Most are a little less stable than I'm willing to risk. For some reason the local scene is a lot like a high school drama class.

These days it's the regulars on the road and highly-recommended, well-established touring girls for me.

Cheers,
Mazo.

Depends on how you define "on the road." I've got two homes I own and one I rent. All on the road if your talking about my primary residence.

50/50 for me. There is no Mrs CC, so the frequency boils down to finances, not location so much.

Good Evening;

And for me, 'On the Road' means not in the same country, and 99% of that is not even in the same continent as home.

Good Night.

And for the roughly "50/50" or "both" folks which is more fun/enjoyable (home/road)?

The nice thing in these places is that I don't have to worry about LE at all. I can go out with the young lady for dinner and a show and not once have to look over my back to see if somebody is watching. And while it's possible that a business contact might spot me out with a date in once of these cities, it's a far more remote possibility than if I was out on the town at home or in a major US city.

There's a lot of advantages to hobbying overseas. It makes it a lot less stressful for all parties involved.

Mazo.

Mostly on the road, unless I am exceptionally horny and flush with expendable cash.

The other thing that might prompt me to hobby in my backyard is if somebody I have been lusting for an eternity was suddenly here touring at the same time all the other hobby stars align.

I don't know about everyone else, but even when I go locally I still prefer outcall over an incall and since no matter how many years I do this it feels weird to get a room in my own city, and most touring ladies don't really want to do an outcall, I am finding I like the road more--plus when on a consulting gig, it is usually somebody else's dime and the room tends to be more upscale. I had a frugal German upbringing--I stay cheap when it is on my dime.

From the other side of the coin, most of the gentlemen I meet are on the road. Most local gentlemen quote financial reasons to meet with ladies other than me. I don't fault them for it. Not that I'm not worth saving for (because I am ), but Dallas has a wealth of quality ladies whose affections are procurable at very reasonable rates.
