Who knows you hobby?

[olayda]

Do you tell any of your non hobbying friends that you hobby?

I told one guy who said, " you pay for sex?" and I said, " No, I pay for the best date you can imagine where the lady doesn't call you the next day. "

What about you lads?

 

[frosty]

I've told a few co-workers and my mom knows but she doesn't know the extent.

I started hobbying with 2 other guys a few years ago and one of them spilled the beans to a couple of my co-workers. It was really uncomfortable as they just don't understand.

The message is unfortunately others outside the hobby just don't understand and either ridicule you or try to change you. They don't understand what they are missing and I really have no regrets, sure I may retire someday but I will always remember those highlights. I have learned enjoy and keep it to myself. If you want to share your experiences then the board threads are good or even getting together with other hobbiests is good as you know they are like minded.

I'm married so no one knows I hobby. I can't think of anyone that would understand or that I trust enough to tell.

 

[RAWD]

Why does anyone need to know?

info? sharing?

That what the boards are for....

 

[iceman_dci]

I agree with RAWD. I've said a couple of times that boards such as this give us pooners an outlet to talk and get the experience off our chests (good or bad). Who else are we going to tell?

Who knows I hobby? The SP's that I see do and you guys hehehe. But seriously, I have one friend who used to hobby abroad but has chosen to retire. He totally understands the benefits and why we hobby, other than that, no.

I told my brother, he thinks I am pathetic for spending the money to travel and visit SPs.

Other than that I choose to tell no one.

I will say that I do love speaking and hearing from fellow hobbyists because most other people just don't appreciate it...

 

[athaire]

Most of my buddies know. I have a fuck buddy that knows as well and she is very turned on by the whole thing.

 

[Juanthepervert]

Me. myself and I are the only people that know about my hobby habits!

Same here non hobbiest don't understand why we do it and I don't have the time nor care to explain it to them.

I don't even admit it to myself. Plausible deniability.

We have 3 people in the "inner sanctum" that are privy to the games that 3 and I play. They seem genuinely interested in hearing our exploits (or they are very polite) so we have fun talking about it. We are on a one-couple crusade to get more people to participate in hobbying, especially couples. It certainly has enhanced our sex life.

No one at work knows, and it is hilarious when they ask "what do you do in Toronto all the time?".

My close friends that I have grown up with, we all hobby.

That is the reason why nobody knows that I hobby. There are a couple guys in my group that I know hobby and I'm sure they know that I hobby, but we do not address it, but sometimes make side remarks about it and move on to another topic.

I don't tell a soul, most in my close circle would not approve.

 

[iconic one]

2 of my friends. One hobbies and was very evasive about it, until I admitted my own involvement to him. Second is a close friend which has admitted a number of transgressions to me. I think we all have a MAD agreement (mutually assured destruction) which will keep us in check.

Personally, I won't give any of them up, even if they were to rat me out. That's the code and I live by it.
