Being disabled and a client of sex workers over the years means, for me, a conscious effort to avoid using labels and stereotypes in order to keep the issue focused on people's humanity, and indeed the right to great sex for everyone regardless of their standing in society. In other words all people are human beings first and foremost and all are entitled to full expression and experience in carrying on their lives. For me a date with someone who has made sex and eroticism their profession, is in many ways far more meaningful than just the physical aspects. There is a large emotional very personal aspect. As you might have guessed I am a romantic, and wouldn't have it any other way :). I have spent time with true masters of their field. Indeed "artisans" in the highest sense in the work. But that too is just another form of label. One which is meant to infer high praise in this context. Initially, and with the urging of a few wise friends, I went on my first eight as a form of rebellion against the not-so-subtle forms of marginalization the health-care system implies. It very quickly evolved into "Wow, this is what I've been missing!" It quickly evolved into something which is very integral to my life. Earlier today I noticed the terms "hobby" and "hobbyist" which denote for me a much more casual [perhaps less important] perspective. Which got me thinking: Where does the sex worker/date experienced fit for you? From both the client and worker perspective. So let the discussion commence. From casual, hobby, art form, or is it a "a life's calling" as one person referred to it years ago, how far-reaching is the spectrum? PatrickGC

I am gearing this thread to all the hobbyists here on Cerb who call P.E.I. home. I am attempting to gauge how many "Island" hobbyists there are and how often you, the Island hobbier, actually hobby? I can't help but think this info. might be useful to all Prince Edward Island hobbyists in the future and it would be nice to have a rough number of prospective clients for any lady who may wish to visit our province. So if you wouldn't mind answering these questions either by posting a response or by PM I would appreciate it. One other thing while I have your attention, would there be a demand for a Cerb group created by one of us. Let me know...

This question was asked of me by a lady friend recently and I could not give her a single definitive answer. So I am wondering why do we hobby? Is it purely physical, is it a mental game where the "chase is better than the catch?" Is the reason we "hobby" to compensate for something we do not have in our personal lives such as excitement, anticipation or is it something as simple as physical gratification that is craved? I am curious what the members of this community believe the answer to this question is. I suspect there is not one single answer but a wide variety of beliefs and situations that will make the answer from person "A" different from that of person "B."
