Hobbyists - How did you get started?

[EveningCloud]

Sorry but quick reply and not doing all or most of the numbers...


44 years old when the wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer and passed 3 weeks later. Yeah, it was devastating. Professional fit white male and was in no way looking for a new relationship but missed the intimacy. Stumbled upon a reference to P411 and the rest was history. Oh and by the way I was never molested and lost my virginity at 16. Have met some wonderful women here and though I don't hobby alot I have been in the lifestyle for 4 years and thank god for it!

[James1588]

1. How old were you when you first paid for companionship? 59. (62 now.)
2. How did you get the idea to do so? It's all the internet's fault. Reading subversive political material led me to the Radley Balko blog. One day, Maggie McNeill is a "guest host" there. That led me to her site, which led me to her links, which led me to some escorts' sites, all of which had links ... ended up seeing Elisabeth Whispers' site. There, she used the word "concupiscent." She didn't have me at "hello"; she had me at "concupiscent." I'm a pushover for smart, literate women, and she's certainly both of those.
3. What was your life situation when you did (married/single/employed/homeless/other/etc)? Married. Still am.
4. How long have you been a hobbyist? Don't think of myself as one, but I know what you mean ... I've been a client to independent escorts for three years now.
5. How did you find ECCIE? Elisabeth Whispers mentioned to me that she's a moderator here.
6. Are you married? Yup.
7. If so, does she know or suspect that you are a hobbyist? Doesn't know; pretty sure she doesn't suspect. She would not understand.
8. At what age did you lose your virginity? Age 20, as a newlywed.
9. Did you have any abusive parents or relatives and/or had you ever been molested as a minor? No abusive parents; no abusive relatives that I know of; no molestation or similar unhappiness in my life experience.

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

8. 14
9. Shitty childhood but never molested or abused.

[Boudin3112]

That is the best answer, could not figure out why men would answer this question, the women sure did not. Are men just more stupid or desperate for attention? I do not understand.

Wow. Paranoia runs deep here.

So, with all those sleuthing clues skills, please explore what I--or anyone else--posted and tell me much of anything about who I am.

[watchoutthegameisrigged]

So let me see. I've admitted my age, that I'm married and own a home, menopause killed it at home and that my cherry was popped at 15. Yeah, that narrows it down to me as a suspect. Jesus Christ.

[cherno]

1. How old were you when you first paid for companionship?
mid-40's just a few months ago

2. How did you get the idea to do so?
One of my friends told me about the site; before this I had never hobbied my entire life. Yeah I guess I'm pretty tame in that regard.

married / employed / productive citizen

just a few months now

buddy told me about it

no

18

9. Did you have any abusive parents or relatives and/or had you ever been molested as a minor?
Nope, rough childhood though, grew up in inner city, didn't have that much, so had to work my ass off to get me to where I am now career-wise.

Well you are right , in that sometimes it is best to just turn around and walk away . . . .


And yet—here you are.

[Boudin3112]

The best way to keep a secret is to tell no one and to tell as little as possible. There is a reason our real names are not used as our handles. The more info you give out the easier it is to get caught by a wife, lover, SO or others.

Prostitutes are accused even by feminists of selling their bodies; but prostitutes don’t sell their bodies, they rent their bodies. Housewives sell their bodies when they get married.
.. tobacco kills 52,000 people a year from lung cancer, and there’s no telling how many lives have been ruined through drinking. But to my knowledge, no one has ever died of a blow job.
