Thinking of hanging it up.

[Jethro Bodine]

Lately I've been thinking that maybe it is time for Jethro to hang it up.
I've been pooning for close to 15 years now. When I started I was in my mid-30's, in a loveless marriage where we were still friends but it was more like a living arrangement than a marriage. Pooning was a great way to meet get my sexual needs met and spend time with some wonderful ladies. When my marriage ended, I absolutely did not want to date and over the years found dating to be more of a hassel than it was worth. As well, being the primary custodial parent of a young daughter, I did not have the time or energy for dating. Thus seeing SP's again provided a way for Jethro to satisfy his urges in the company of lovely ladies without all the time and commitment of a relationship and be able to focus on my carreer and child.
For many years pooning provided what I needed and I developed some very good friendships with a few of my regular ladies including one ill fated brief relationship. Over the years, the ladies who I enjoyed the most have retired or moved on.
Which brings me to the current situation. Except for a couple of touring ladies and one or 2 local ladies I've seen in the past 12 months I look at all the ads and don't feel drawn to any of them. As I get older, the ladies get younger. I know alot of guys can see girls 25 to 30 years younger but I can't. Not only because they are young enough to be my daughter but we have nothing in common to discuss in between rounds since I don't watch Reality TV, go to clubs or listen to HipHop or Rap music.
Yes there are ladies over 40 to see but (I'm not trying to sound insulting or like a jerk) in all honesty I'm not really attracted to many of them.
Add to it the state of pooning in Winnipeg lately. The MP's have really gone downhill and so many of the ads are Bait and Switch, Rip Offs, Crack Ho's or Newbies who seem to think the going rate is $250-300/hr.
Maybe it's just the Monday Blues talking?

Your preaching to the choir my friend.

 

[Elmore]

Not only because they are young enough to be my daughter but we have nothing in common to discuss in between rounds since I don't watch Reality TV, go to clubs or listen to HipHop or Rap music.

Not to mention how awkward it would be to show up and recognize an escort as one of your daughters friends/acquaintances. I'm sure you know this but you're far better off putting the pooning money aside to help with your kids education and just poon when one of your touring faves is in town.

 

[CliveAllen]

Can't say I disagree with you Jethro.
I have been toning it down lately too as the quality of service as declined and I find that "Hot girl on computer" + "right hand" = "scratched itch" + "available cash".

 

[twentydollars]

Call me crazy, but sometimes when I have $200 dollar, I prefer a nice meal and bottle of wine or booze and pocket the extra $150.

Although, usually it's a matter of time til big head gets his way.

 

[humper1]

I agree Jethro, only 10 months in and I'm becoming bored
With selection and hassles with booking, bullshit involved.

 

[rbuck166]

i too have also gave up..way overpriced and all the drama..i am now done with it all

 

[Master69]

It's the Monday Blues talking. Plus, as the years go by, the testosterone levels drop and the fire-in-your-loins starts to flicker.

Treat yourself to a vacation in Bangkok or Pattaya first. It'll restore your faith.

You'll be treated like a king at any of the MPs on Ratchadapisek Road in Bangkok (but I particularly recommend Poseidon.) You'll consider retiring there! Here, you pay top dollar for the privilege of appreciating the woman. There, you pay half the price for the privilege of having the woman appreciate you!

They may not speak English, but they are more fluent in the body language of love than Canadian girls will ever be.

Your words seem to echo my thoughts completely, Jethro. I am now about about 1.5 to 2 years "sober." After my last couple of hits, I realized that I just wasn't getting what I needed out of it outside of a very brief "high." The conversation wasn't there, and if I felt old already, most of these visits only served to drill that perspective home. I found myself searching for more mature women in escorts, strippers or wherever. I am not as far along in the process as you, still being in my marriage which feels loveless. However, I am trying to regain control and commit to fixing things for the good of my family. I still get urges, especially after arguments & fights, but most often I simply jerk it to fulfill immediate needs. I still get the odd "massage" and multiple contact lap dances, but oddly enough, I don't view that as straying. True straying requires emotional connection in my mind, and that is still something I feel drawn to and it is hardest to resist. The problem is, I can't get that from a MP attendant or stripper (although I try) and I rarely felt any connection when I still saw SPs - perhaps because deep down I knew that the emotions were "rented by the hour, not owned." In any case, I commend your realization, and I wish you good luck. You might want to look into realdolls.com.

Last few weeks have saved myself 5 or 6 browns. Using the Big head more these days.
Had a few urges over this time period. I decided $200 could buy a lot of Rum, Steak, etc. for that money!

 

[spinnerman2]

Things are not what thay used to be a few bad experiences can really kill the libito, however I have been fortunate to find a younger lady that I can not only talk to but she can defintely get the fire roaring(sorry I cant give her name she is not interested in any more clients) but the point has to be driven home to some of the younger ladies that they are hurting themselves with poor service and bad attitudes

I have wanted to post the same thing, over the last couple of weeks I have gotten tired of the bullshit that goes along with this, 5 years ago I quit, but ended up coming back. I think this is it for me this time. I have been around since the canbest days. Recently I have had a couple of regular ladies that I was comfortable with, but for some reason that has changed and I am not willing to put the work in to find someone else. I will probably pop in once in awhile, but posting for me will end. I have a lot of reviews on TER, but will stop posting there as well

 

[Maxfield]

I think there is a point when you just get sick of being a slave to your libido. $250 - $300 per hour is making my decision to quit pretty easy.

 

[george.caruthers]

I find that if I stay away from the low end, anything for a buck girl (BP or EC) that I have a great time. These kind of gals have no idea what it means to be a quality SP, all they want to do is spread their legs and get their money. Sorry if that sounds crude. I am around Jethro's age, and yeah the libido is limping a bit, but the right SP helps that out quite a bit. You just need to find one that knows what it means to be an escort, and not a slut for hire. There are still some very good quality escorts in the city, but there are far too many sluts for hire, and they sour the pool.

 

[hotwinnipeg]

Completely agree. I do a lot of looking online, but that's about it these days. And I'm actually pretty fine with that.

 

[Bare]

It sounds like many of us are feeling the same way these days, or it's the biggest bought of the Monday Morning Blues to hit the city in years. I feel the same as the rest of you, maybe it's age talking, but the quality of ladies lately is a concern.
For me, cutting back this year is the answer, seeing maybe one or two touring lady a month seems like a good move. I'm throwing that out the window next week with a trip to Vegas (I go about twice a year) and I plan on seeing at least 3 or 4 ladies while I'm there, 3 dates set up so far. Jethro, you should join me in Vegas, you'd have a blast, then if you decide to retire, at lease you go out with a bang.

Best,

Bare

 

[borntooslow]

With this many people saying the same thing i think it's pretty obviously more a statement on quality than anything else.

 

[varen]

I understand what you guys are saying.Makes me absolutely sick when I think of how much money I have blown and what I could have done with that cash....

 

[stanley manley]

Over the years, the ladies who I enjoyed the most have retired or moved on.
Which brings me to the current situation. Except for a couple of touring ladies and one or 2 local ladies I've seen in the past 12 months I look at all the ads and don't feel drawn to any of them.

Not only because they are young enough to be my daughter but we have nothing in common to discuss in between rounds since I don't watch Reality TV, go to clubs or listen to HipHop or Rap music.

I been cutting back as well, and have been toying with the idea of ending this altogether. The above is exactly the reason why. I still have the funds to do this, but I can find better uses for my money. The past few times that I did indulge, I felt rather let down, not getting much in return for my donation. I just don't get the same 2 or 3 day high that I once did. It seems almost more effort than it's worth, especially when you have to hunt so hard for a nice lady who is not looking to rip you off.

 

[Soleil]

This entire thread is very disheartening. There should never be this many dissatisfied customers, for any industry.
