Currently in Thailand. Zero debt and retired.

I was staying at a dorm style Airbnb because I'm frugal and don't need much. Saw lots of young men who had a job(roofing, retail, etc) and we're paying 700 a month to live in bunk beds with 4 other guys in a room. The Airbnb was making a killing but I question the direction of our country if a young man who is working has to rent bunk beds with 4 other guys. That's fucked up.

I usually don't give a shit about most people but after being around these guys and getting to know them I began to empathize with their plight.

I don't know the circumstances of their lives but that experience stuck with me. Grinding just to barely live.

I’m making more money then I ever did in my career but am hobbying way less

I find the 2010’s were peak in this industry but that is my bias.

tons of new girls popping up, affordable rates as well as the potential for great service was higher too.

now a days I have to put in a decent amount of research, pre book cause the girls I want to see book up asap and service is also a lot more YMMV. I also don’t like this new trend of giving up personal info to see new girls/agency

I’m going to be visiting Thailand in January. Can you recommend some good places for full service? I’m looking for young and pretty.

Would the proliferation of social media, Instagram, Tinder, and OF be the reason that standards and service are declining despite a tough economy theoretically pushing more girls to work in the industry?
Any way you slice it, getting men to simp for you on Instagram and streaming sites and OF is less taxing mentally and physically than meeting strange men, not to mention infinite upside not limited by your labor and time. If you can make hundreds of thousands, possibly millions on OF just by selling pictures, why would you ever meet a man?
Plus your market is global, not just your city. Some schmuck on the other side of the planet could give you money just for saying his name on stream.

Rapid population increase due to mass immigration is one of the biggest reasons. More population = more demand. It means service levels can decline and prices go up and they will still sell because there are just way more people. It is affecting all aspects of our lives from rents to food. OF is a big part of this also.

Pattaya or Bangkok?
Both

I will be staying 24 days total, 17 in Bangkok, 7 in Pattaya.

I liked the bj bars 7 heaven and 007, Thermae cafe for freelancers, walking street, and Windmill go go, but did not find any good fs nuru/soapy massage place. Ideally where they do bbbj/cim, rim, and the girls are young and pretty.

And any good go go bars besides Windmill with hot girls in a fun, relaxing atmosphere?

Also, any good places to pick up regular Thai women?

Thanks 🙏

I hang in Pattaya. For bar girls try soi 6 or lk metro. Thai friendly is good for freelancers but buyer beware as you know, internet pretty. I know of one massive massage and possibly soapy honey body massage 2 nearish to soi 6. Google maps.

Pattaya is the wrong place to pick up civiy women.

Also, home insurance premiums have skyrocketed, which adds to the pressure.
Yep, the home insurance premium surely hit the hobby money hard. Not to mention the cost of toothpaste, mouthwash, and bus tickets. How people can find money on the hobby when it costs so much to take a bus to meet an SP??? It is a good think the SP provide the condoms, but skyrocketing condom prices led to a sharp increase in SP rates. There is nowhere to hide!

I live near the subway and have a vehicle. It takes a very special lady, or someone that's been very hard to arrange a session with, to get me to drive to a session. Arriving half frazzled from GTA driving and finding parking doesn't put me in my sexy place. While the TTC is far from commuter utopia that's the reason why so many of my sessions are walking distance from subway or streetcar lines. I suppose I could take a cab or rideshare, but I kind of like being able to zone out on my way to a session and I'd have a hard time not chatting with a driver. So the TTC it is (except for busses).
Remember the good old days when outcall was the norm?

For me it comes down to overstimulation/saturation leading to a total BLAH attitude. Like a kid at a buffet with every kind of chocolate cake available - too much leads to reduced interest.

Money is not my problem.

I suspect that I am not the only one that has reduced because I just can't get too interested. It is NOT because of lack of sex drive on my part, I am fine there.

For instance, look at our photo threads. Mazophilia or whatever it is called. Hundreds and hundreds of beautiful breasts. Images that once would have gotten me rock hard become totally uninteresting. Same thing with every other visual thing. All these perfect women on only fans are to me, BORING AS HELL. Feeling a woman's boobs that are just flopped out for you doesn't do it for me much anymore.

Before the internet, as a kid you had to get your glimpses in a Penthouse, and hide it somewhere!

Girls in high school, you got a little glimpse of cleavage, on display, or a downblouse, or pokies - so rare! Do you remember slow dances at a high school with a girl with a good set of bozangas pressed against your chest, and at the same time you were thigh to thigh - THAT was exciting!

There needs to be some mystery, something difficult, and uncertain to achieve to make it more interesting, for me at least.

I find that massage without anything overtly sexual going on or allowed, but nevertheless where you can tell they are deliberately teasing you to get you hard, sometimes to the point of your member erecting itself out from under the draping AND THEY STILL LEAVE IT THERE, I like that type of thing. But escorts now - very very rarely.

It seems that all "the hot" SP's who really excite me are $400-$500/hr. It seems I have champagne taste on a beer budget.
This is the same reason for me too. It’s not even about affordability per se, I just can’t hand over $400 to spend time with some woman lol there’s so much cool shit I can buy or do with $400-500, that one hour with some random woman seems like a waste and personally makes me feel like a loser. I’ll just keep that $$$ in my pocket & experience life.

$300 an hour was my personal top that I can tolerate, and those days seem long gone. Oh well. It’s given me perspective to do a bunch of other things I find enjoyable.

Sometimes a little mystery is what is needed :devilish: Back in school, I used to like the slow dances to .. was fun to feel the guy excited against my body. Still like dancing to be honest. A guy who is a good dancer is a total turn on 😉

Glad to see that most guys seem to be doing well and can afford to enjoy life some. Some of the comments make me sad. 4 guys in bunk beds in a shared room for 700 a month. That is a sad thing to have to do to get by and try and save. :cry:

Good for you guys that are retired or doing well and living life. Heard Thailand was very good as well. Cheap for the most part, fairly safe and hot as fuck (that part came from a girl from Costa Rica). That I like. Warm is good, I do not seem to do well here in Toronto in the winter. Seems to be feeling colder to me.

Ahhh, the nightmare of slow dance erections, and trying to get your dick in a discreet direction before leaving the dance floor. It took me a long time to figure out that many of the girls who wanted to slow dance with me had their own things going on 'down there'. Teenage (and pre-teen) boys are extra dumb, even by male standards. ;)

Great thread for a pulse check. Fortunately for me, been very lucky in finding the right SPs (thanks to all of you for the reviews no doubt) but also have enjoyed the lessons that were kindly provided along the way (a big shout out to @SultrySofia for being my first and educating me on what to look for and how to be financially sound - she probably doesn't remember - god knows I do - much love) which I practice to this day. I have also found great SPs who still give that passion, that kindness and that feeling you get when you meet someone that you connect with - I know that it won't last forever, but am truly enjoying the moments when they present themselves. Have a great job and been fortunate in the work environment - so until the day comes where this is no longer a thrill - will spend wisely, still show kindness to the beautiful SPs that are willing to see me; and finally - will continue to capture these moments in time where desire takes full control.

I still prefer outcall - In fact, I’ve been a hobbyist for over 25 years and can count the number of incalls I’ve done on one hand… Just not my thing.
I like the idea of outcall as well. More discrete I think. Not that I am the expert ..lol..far from it.

I am in a similar boat. I have to decide between buying some cool tech devices and gadgets I like vs spending on an hour where the experience may be mixed. In recent years I have gone with buying some shiny toys for me instead. I do have eyes on few well reviewed ladies but they are far from my place and as everyone mentioned driving in traffic is something I absolutely don't feel like doing.
