@Bearman you keep disliking everything I write. I love you too. ?

You sound like you should make, at least, a pause. Or reduce all encounters exclusively to 1h.

 

Not surprising if oxytocin has been constantly pumped into your brain over the weekend. You're "coming down" from it.

 

See a specialist to discard any brain chemistry unbalance, and if not, seek a cognitive-behavioral approach. It works wonders!

Once you realize ALL RELATIONSHIPS imply some sort of transaction (with providers is just more explicit) you'll start feeling better.

 

Remember, money can't buy happiness. It's WITHIN YOU!

Even fame, good looks, and children are not a guarantee.

Shake off the drama, raise up your head, and move forward.

Money can’t buy happiness...

But it sure can upgrade despair.

They clearly are, and, yes, there’s probably a degree of insanity involved.

The Role of Cognitive Dissonance in the Pandemic

I LOVE this piece. Thx so much for sharing!!! Particularly on this thread!!!

You’ve had great advice here @Todd Jenkins and I wonder if I can help given my own experiences.

 

Escorts provide companionship but it’s transactional. They can be very useful and helpful in meeting your needs. But if you want something more aka a boyfriend, you have to look elsewhere, cultivate friendships, volunteer at gay groups and charities etc.

 

From the age of 21, I was always in monogamous relationships. Each lasted several years but the longest one (15years) broke up when I was aged 48. I hadn’t dated in years and I rediscovered my libido by hiring attractive men. I also volunteered to work for a couple of gay charities and joined 2 gyms to work out with personal trainers to get very fit (and Yes to meet attractive younger men at the gyms).

 

I enjoyed the sex and the variety of men very much. I also knew deep down that I prefer the connection and intimacy that comes from a steady relationship with a boyfriend. I set about finding such a boyfriend - there were 2 false starts (a beautiful muscleboy who made all the running but who was really screwed up from working previously as an escort; and a lovely guy who was insecure and who left abruptly after 5 years) and I had a LOT of bad dates. But it finally worked out for me (6 years ago and continuing).

 

All I can do is urge you to keep putting yourself out there. Decide on what meets your fundamental needs and try to find that man. Don’t beat yourself up if you resort to an escort: it’s consensual sex between 2 adults.

Consider yourself a "Patron" and not a "John".

Don't be such a drama queen. We pay for everything including love and affection. Since the problem is how you feel when you finish the session, why don't you find a permanent sugar boy?

 

You show your true colors and personality in every single thread......

 

You’re such a Gem....?

SO TRUE! If I was a billionaire, I would gladly cry in despair, on my private yacht parked by the Côte d'Azur.

That’s really cynical. It reminds me of a conversation I had with a former porn star who had recently retired and was desperately trying to find a normal job. Over dinner we talked about the life he’d led, travel and fun but no savings or real friends. All his relationships had been transactional and unhealthy.

I like you too.

 

No you don’t.... ?

[The_Impeccable_G]

No you don’t.... ?

Of course I don't. Actually I don't know you and don't give a shit about you.

[Monarchy79]

Of course I don't. Actually I don't know you and don't give a shit about you.

 

Thats not why you don’t like me... ?.....

And we know each other quite well.... from our previous thread....

 

Shall I remind you?

[Ilovejockstraps]

It depends on the escort and experience for me. I've definitely met some that I regretted and felt like I wasted my time and money just to feel even worse about myself and come out of the situation feeling sad, but even though it's an exchange of money, I surprisingly have found comfort in some men and feel like they also got a little out of the experience.

 

It doesn't matter how gorgeous the man is, if I feel like they didn't enjoy themselves at all and were just waiting for it to be over so they could collect $$$ and move on, then I think the experience ended up being negative for me.

 

The times I walked away happy were when it felt like the man enjoyed some part of it. Be it my personality, looks, me getting him off, whatever... If he seemed positive and receptive to it, I usually was as well.

 

I also want to add that I don't know if I'd ever hire an escort for longer than an hour or two if I had never met them before. Even with stellar reviews, there is a chemistry issue that I described. So, if it was your first time meeting and you hired for an entire weekend, that could be a little too overeager or presumptuous in the chemistry level between you.

@Monarchy79 and @The_Impeccable_G we're about to reserve you a room somewhere else. Take it elsewhere.
