Unless you are married and looking for some discreet fun on the side without the hassle of an affair, run like hell away from this hobby. It is expensive and time consuming if you get caught up in it and you will. It’s like any vice. Some would say it is addictive.
The guys I know do this are all older, married and with some money to burn. This is cheaper and less risky than an affair and allows us to get what we are not getting at home or to fulfill the urge of certain kinks or the desire for strange.
All the 20 somethings I know have no problems hooking up nsa for free on the dating apps. Even in my 40s between marriages I took a break from this hobby as it was easy to get laid with civilians.
If you have family money and can it get laid any other way then hobby away. Otherwise save your money, out the time into meeting real girls and someday when you are married and a little bored circle back to this hobby. It will still be here.
