Jazz Musician....extremely well stated. Thank you.
It's hypocrisy sometimes. We want Disneyland with orgasms. We're like easily-wounded youngsters, ready to react to the slightest hint from the chica that she doesn't think we're all-powerful and/or desireable.
I am still laughing at the previous poster who divides us all into two classes, hard bangers or pussies.

As a pu*sy, I gotta agree.
You see, I discovered a long time ago that most mongers have horseshit track records when it comes to relationships with women. I've met and befriended the products of overbearing controlling mothers, bad divorces, rotten sexual relationships.... and we all gather in C.R. to fill in the missing pieces, to actually have the sex-love thing work for once, with us in control. It's rather pathetic sometimes, isn't it?
And, being totally unfit for a "real" love relationship, we're quite willing to blame the females. She has the bad attitude. She wants too much dinero. She acts depressed/disinterested/bitchy. She won't talk with me for hours while I build both my ego and courage in her youthful presence.
And of course, nothing is my fault. Granted, I am just another rider on her Tilt-a-Whirl, just another snot-nosed hick at the county fair. But I know I'm desireable, witty, handsome, virile, and in all ways perfect. So, if our interaction in the Blue Marlin is bad, it surely must be the bitch's fault, right?
Stop deluding yourself. It is what it is.
And for the guys who think MP's are the answer: MP's may offer fixed prices, but they certainly don't guarantee any particular service level Burn out rates are high. .
It has been mentioned by several members that they've had lukewarm MP experiences, that their favorita (even one who has been highly touted and praised here on CRT) was disappointing. No Shi'ite, Sherlock...she's working on a sexual assembly line, "enjoying the company" of numerous men, many of whom are fat (me), old (me), unattractive (me?) and probably unable to communicate with her in her own language. but of course, the bad session is her fault.
To the imperious rectum who refuses to acknowledge the difference between a "normal" employer-employee relationship and the client/provider relationships of this hobby, go back to your calculator, business plan and cool Fortune 500 management style...because none of that otherwise useful stuff even comes close to applying here. Why? Because the sex act in and of itself is completely unique and is more personal than any other human activity; your code of employee conduct cannot cover this one due to variability, over which you have nearly no control. Add to that your own damnable ignorance of her culture and your own ineptitude with "managing" relationships, and you'll quickly discover that your preconceived ideas of how to treat your "employee" won't work in costa Rica. You will of course be pissed off and blame the employee, because of course you're perfect
And you hard-bangers love that control. He who would say, "She's justt an employee and had better perform, damn it!" you really dig running people, don't you?
You grab her hair, her hips and batter her poon. You're a tough, take-charge guy who could give a rat's scrotum how she feels; she's just a disposable human resource, with the job title "C*m Dumpster."
Well, good luck with that. My "management style" will always be different from yours. .
As for me, I'll probably continue to play the game badly, because I'm too concerned with her dignity and intrinsic worth. Recognizing the damage that can be done both ways, my management style will continue to take her feelings into account and allow for that variability.
. I won't pay the dreaded cien for one hour, but I probably will still manage somehow to overpay. No, I won't give her my e-mail address, but I'll probably spring for a chicken dinner at Pollo Campesino. Aw shucks... I guess I'm just one of them there GFE pussies.
By the way... it's GFE. GFFE isn't necessary. Note that Girlfriend is one word, so Girlfriend Fantasy Experience is correctly abbreviated "GFE."
