i'm fortunate enough to be able to comfortably afford my bookings. I don't consider my time with an escort a hobby. I've had too many hobbies that become obsessions and expensive lol. This isn't one of them. Like another poster mentioned-i don't view this any differently than making an app't for a therapist, dental cleaning, actual massage etc. It may have been different 20 years ago with less income and a higher libido.
It’s funny to me to admit that engaging in this hobby for a few years actually inspired me to go back to therapy - I was shit dumping way too much with my fav reg provider and it didn’t feel fair to ask her to take all that on from me when we hung out, with all the other shit she must constantly deal with. Best decision I made in a while - but I agree, i view SPs as more of a sexual health and mental wellness practitioner I’m seeing, who happens to be hot AF and wants to get freaky with me. šŸ•ŗ

I'm sure for some Perbites, posting multiple "reviews" daily IS their side hustle. One of them recently got banned permanently for trading reviews for discounts and perks. Now someone has increased his already prolific output as if to "compensate"'for the other's absence.šŸ™„
Who did this? We should know the handle to avoid falling into his fake reviews.

I wouldn't interpret that as me being mad or triggered, merely just me making an assumption.

Looks like I assumed right though, you were dismissive of my point of view and went the petulant victimhood route, instead of discussing or debunking anything I listed in my original comment.

So are you going to engage in a discussion about your point of view vs. mine? or are you just here to feed your ego?
Hey @trustfund -

I really am not interested in debating something that doesn't apply to me with someone who appears incapable of comprehending compassion and empathy and repeatedly deflects that back at me in order to pick a fight about something that isn't really relevant to the OP or my situation. I was actually the generation after the boomers, so does that mean i should have been suffering from the injustices you speak of? Every generation has to adapt and I'm truly sorry its so hard for young ladies and gentleman out there today, but is it my fault or duty to defend what happened? i just lived my life and did the best I could.

Please allow me to reiterate what i previously replied to you with (with a small editorial change), and lets see if you can mindfully listen and not clap back - my ego albeit fragile doesn't get affected by this kind of drivel and lack of comprehension or careful attention. It seems my use of "triggered" may have been the catalyst, so allow me to say again, it was not my intent to make light of anyone's situation, and if you feel that way, please forgive me for that.
  • FIRST attempt at repair and reconciliation from your response:
I was merely trying to share how I was able to afford this hobby and my financial decisions that made it possible now, sorry to have triggered UPSET or ANGERED you.
To me this feels like quite a leap from the point of my post, but my intention wasn’t to blame anyone for their situation or let anyone off the hook, just sharing my experience and observations.
Also, I’m not a boomer, my parents are, i am gen X, but sure, I suppose every subsequent generation could point fingers at the previous generations for their difficulties.
I wish you luck getting through these tough times and I definitely feel for the younger generation - shits bananas out there.
  • SECOND reply to your response to the above, just to try to really drive home my desire to be understanding and considerate:
My bad, I totally misread your response, apologies. It was this part that felt personally directed at me and that seemed to presume I’m dismissive to other people’s opinions or viewpoints.
(removed your post snippet about assuming i'd ignore you)

I don't feel i'm being dismissive - and can't see how you can call that "petulant victimhood mode."

i just don't have enough knowledge about what you claimed to debate it, and that assumes i disagreed, which i never did, i actually acknowledged your struggle.
Not being a boomer or in you shoes, i can't really engage about your thoughts anymore than what i've offered, purposely in the name of compassion, empathy and consideration.
Clearly I keep missing the mark with you, but as i said - i was only sharing my experience, not making statements about the financial predicaments each generation suffered at the hands of the previous or who should be held responsible.

Perhaps you can find someone else to argue with, cuz i won't go to there with you, find someone else please....šŸ¤—

Wow, this thread is full of popcorn...

But to the main topic at hand, "How are you affording this?"

Well, assuming you're a working class hero on a budget, just learn to squirrel away your money and perhaps once a month you'll have a decent enough wad of cash to get a quality provider. A $20 here, $50 there; it adds up quick....

The reviews were all real, so no need to avoid.
This pooner apparently cut deals with agencies - a quid pro quo thing, or better it was a quid pro pop deal.

Fair enough MPH. Not to derail this topic but, I would like to know who it was and maybe the agency too? Unless I missed something about this. More of a curiosity thing.

i wouldn't trust the old reviews either. i have personal experience with some women he gave over the top enthusiastic endorsements to and they were uniformly disappointing

there's another reviewer with a similar style and similar tastes that i'm also very, very suspicious of and whose reviews i discount entirely

Ahhhhh. Got it (y)I scratched my head quite a bit how someone could afford to see so many woman in such short time. Makes total sense now. Like, I understand there are people who make a lot of $$ in this world but, I had suspicions. I missed the Perbatory link.

The old saying --- " If something seems too go to be true, mostly it's not.

Wait. How many reviews was he making? More importantly, who was the shop or shops? Shouldn't any discussion of them be banned? Surely if any evidence was provided, the shop involved was mentioned to.

Anyway, positive reviews are losing their relevance; most of them feel the same. On the other hand, negative or less glorified ones get lots of criticism from fellow pooners. It's not balanced at all.

True that. It’s an expensive hobby. Best ways to afford this Hobby in my opinion are :-

1. Don’t get Married.
2. Don’t have Kids.
3. Investments.
4. Get a Job where you can make Six Figures.
5. Do your research before deciding whom to see.
6. Make a budget & stick to it.
7. I use to have a few favourites. I build a Rapport with them, Treated them exceptionally well & after a few Sessions even without asking I got lots of extras & reduced or Fixed Rates.

Yeah, right. Lol.. Real reviews? That's about as believable as influencers giving unbiased opinions/reviews when they're getting paid, discounts, sponsorship, or receiving freebies. Yet, people still buy into it. Even when they're called out for being shills, admirers of the shills may still call the reviews "real." :rolleyes:

Positive reviews are losing relevance? I don't think so. Toxic positivity or as the kids these days call it — radical optimism is the status quo. That's why there are attacks on those who post criticism.

The linchpin of your reasoning for declining to address my points is that you are "gen x" and not a baby boomer. 99% of the stuff I said also applies to Gen X, and you are clearly on the older side of the Gen X spectrum, its pretty clear by how you conduct yourself and your post history.

I also see from you post history, that you often make condescending and passive-aggressive statements, and then pretend to be a 'nice guy' when anyone responds with pushback or a different perspective. Please stop pretending to be a 'nice guy' when your behavior is actually the opposite."

Just say you don't feel like having this discussion or ignore me.
But next time you make statements implying that your generation and the way you were raised makes you superior to others, don't be surprised when you get pushback.

awww tysm
you stalked my post history to gather even more ammo to lick shots, again? After all that?

….don’t even know what that implies about your state of mind, but I’m a bit worried now. Are you gonna track down my personal info next?

I said clearly I wasn’t informed enough to debate generational financial impacts, but if it makes this stop - i’ll take the hit, it’s all my fault and all the other previous generations before the current for the tough spot young people are in today, by being wise about investing for the future early in our careers (i never owned a house either) and not having anything remotely like we have today as far as media and the internet machine and the kinds of careers it has created, and the housing bubble too I think. Sorry if you read that as condescending but I’m not going back to reread what I already know is way above my pay grade to debate.

I never intended to imply that my generation was superior to another, just the ways things went for me, vs some of what I see now from the cheap seats, and never did I speak for an entire generation. Despite your attack of my character and ā€œyour stuffā€ that you seem to be projecting onto some sentiments and thoughts I’ve shared here in the past - which really means nothing about today - I am confident in who I am and my intentions and don’t need anyone else to validate that, and no insults or name calling can change that.

Despite the past shortcomings you didn’t bother to highlight with any specificity and really have no bearing on anything really - just words on a page with zero actual attunement or emotional context - I disagree with your assessment. I whole heartedly and authentically strive to be kind, empathetic, generous, compassionate, courteous and considerate to everyone everywhere, try it sometime.

Really baffled at how upset you got about all this and how much you want to gripe at me, and I’m sorry if I was the root cause of it all - as I said before, I was just sharing my experience for the original OP who asked for how I can afford it. How it made this leap into crazy town is beyond my comprehension.

And really sorry everyone else for dragging you all through the mud, I was really trying to smooth things over but I just kept making it worse somehow. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Fuck if I know, it’s so stupid, but speaking for myself only, it totally comes from early childhood and being raised by parents who never made us feel heard or encouraged us kids express our feelings, and so as an adult I can’t resist trying to avoid being misunderstood. My inner dialog involves a lot of ā€œrehearsingā€ which can be maddening.

My first post was meant to answer the original OP, the next that started the whole thing was just to poke at my post and nothing to do with the OP, and here we are….

I apologize for my part in this whole silly mess, and I feel that I attempted to repair the rift and quash the whole thing, but it didn’t work, and I couldn’t let it go this time.

I have an undeniable desire to defend my character when it’s being questioned. šŸ•ŗ

Learn to recognise trolls. Some posters just argue for the sake of arguing. They thrive on attention. Don’t give it to them.
Some are legitimate. Nothing you say will change their opinion. Further arguing achieves nothing except raising your blood pressure.
