castle 38816 Report post Posted December 28, 2013 Well ladies and gents...it be that time. Time to wave goodbye to this lifestyle for the time being and start focusing on improving myself and my life, such as it is. As many of you may have noticed (or maybe not) I have not been very active on here for a while now. I've been checking cerb more out of habit than anything else (like clicking on facebook and youtube...just part of the daily routine lol). And it's been months since I've actually done any sort of hobbying. Long story short, for various reasons my own physical self image and self esteem have taken quite a beating over the past year or so. Seeing escorts once began as a matter of convenience and choice but now feels like a matter of necessity....which in all honesty, has sucked all the fun out of it for me (no pun intended :p ) I've met and connected with many great people thanks to this "hobby".....But to continue to see SP's in my current state would only do more damage to my self esteem. Don't get me wrong I am still a strong supporter of the lifestyle and its many benefits. I am only speaking for myself and the situation I currently find myself in. I thank you all for the great many awesome discussions and even more awesome encounters (y'all know who you are ;) )! This lifestyle, this site, and the people I've met have opened my eyes to a whole other world and another side to this "world's oldest profession" that I never knew existed...and I truly thank you all for that. Who knows, once the necessary self improvements have been done, and once I start liking what I see in the mirror again, then I may very well be back. But maybe not, part of me thinks it will then be time to start seeking out a more personal (ie, long term) connection.....and I'm not the type of person who can do both...but who knows? I may get there and find out a monogamous lifestyle is the LAST thing I want. In which case I'll be back with all guns blazing ;) Guess I won't know till I get there. I'll be checking in now and then for the next couple weeks to get a chance to say my "so longs" to a few special people but for now I bid you all a good night and sweet dreams. Tomorrow a new adventure begins! Continue to have fun and play safe everyone! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reddog01 30280 Report post Posted December 28, 2013 Good for you to recognise when you need to sign off or take a break. Hope that everything works out for you. I have slowed down myself and have been reflecting on my own future and involvement in this "hobby". When you get to where you want to be maybe come back and let us know how it is going. All the best. RD01 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Studio 110 by Sophia 150333 Report post Posted December 28, 2013 So long my friend! I think it is good for you to have a close look into yourself. I can totally see your point of this becoming to "easy" and needing to know that you can wooo and earn the privilege of being with a women. For a long while, I substituted this for "real" intimacy. I had shut my eyes to the possibility of having a "normal" dates etc...I am glad that I did re-open my eyes as I found love and intimacy. Best wishes, get out there and have fun! Most of all, be true to yourself! xoxo Sophia:) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikeyboy 27133 Report post Posted December 28, 2013 Good luck Castle. It is a wise man who can look at his life objectively, and recognize which aspects are positive and which ones are not at any given point. It is a wiser man still who takes the initiative to do something about it. Best of luck to you in all of your future endeavors, and thank you for your contributions over the years. Your input will be missed. Mikey 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
