How much longer do you plan on doing this?

A a natural corollary of my discussion about what else strippers can do beside stripping, i've wondered if the real PLs ever quit the habit/hobby. I've only been "hardcore" SCing for the last several years, going more casually for the first 10-15 years (pre-recession and early recession). I was kind of hoping that it would be kind of out of my system by now, but who am i fooling? This experience just hasn't and isn't getting old.
It's like any other "bad" expensive habit or vice i guess (drinking, drug abuse, gambling, excessing shopping, frequent car swapping/upgrading), but generally without the serious side effects or consequences. So it's just more sustainable if not indefinitely as long as you can afford it. And for those that are attached, as long as you can hide it as well. So maybe i've answered my own questions. The only other possibility would be the dream civilian (for those unattached), but i'm not putting too much hope in that.
So i guess as long as the old guard doesn't stop till they drop and the new guard somehow gets converted (if they do), the eventual demise of strip clubs is probably overblown. Do any you guys have an eventual "exit strategy" for SCing?

Get girlfriend, take hiatus, eventually return to mongering, relationship ends, rinse and repeat to infinity.
Make sure to bundle up and don't over do it.
My prediction is we continue to see a downtrend in talent, until guys who care about quality find other avenues. Pretty girls are a dime a dozen, and they're not flocking to the clubs dancing for old men.
For most of 2017 my SCing has been mostly meholoanda the same-old same-old, don't get much of a rush from it like I used to.
I have not SCed for close to a month now which is a long time for me - main reason I've taken a break for now is having binged in late-October/early-November and burned thru a few thousand and it felt like the dame-old same-old and felt I wasted my $$$ instead of spent my $$$.
SCing is currently not giving me that rush I would normally get in the past, and although I can "afford" my SCing, I can also afford to be investing that $$$ nstead and and better secure my financial future (on a per monbasis SCing is my biggest expense and that kinda weighs on me b/c I feel I shoube doing more to further secure my financial future).
IDK if I'll keep staying away from SCs for the time being b/c I'm so used to SCing, but currently I have a "been there done that" feeling and not much about SCing is really piquing my interest right now; part of me still wants to go but I feel I would not be getting good bang for the buck since I'm kinda a bit burned out with it at the moment.
It's obvious that you haven't read any of the PL stories on here. Particularly Gawker's.
I'll stop when it stops being fun. Plenty of guys move on. Sometimes because it's no longer fun. Sometimes because it's no longer affordable. And sometimes because they are incapable of not getting emotionally involved with their CF or ATF.
Some guys take this too seriously...

As it is - I’ve been leaving larger gaps in my trips - as I’ve been waiting to “really” want to hit the club. It’s been over a month since I was at a club - but I hit the same club twice in the same week.
I’m thinking of retiring in the next few years. Once I’m out of work - I’m not sure what the next steps will be. I might try to pick up a part time job - or volunteer regularly - to keep my mind active and to decrease work related stress. My kids will be in college shortly - and I’ve already amassed enough to handle those expenses.
I think - as long as I desire the experience - and as long as my Johnson will perform - and as long as I have the cash - I’ll keep going to the clubs.
On another note. I’m glad to hear @shadowcat is getting back out there! Good for you! I’m glad you are feeling better - and hopefully you can taper off the oxygen soon.
I'm a bit opposite of most of you... I've always SCed as much or more when I was dating or had a girlfriend (or was married), than when I was single with no propects. When I'm not even dating, it feels like that's what I should spend a bit more time on, having the SC be my entire interaction with women socially isn't the healthiest place for me (just a personal thing). Whereas if I'm dating, I love the SC as some nice spice (and much younger flesh).
The older I get, the harder it gets to keep to this general pattern (since dating gets harder), but that's where I am currently... I'm still definitely the opposite of many of you in a "get girlfriend, no SC" "break up w/ GF, go SCing" etc. type pattern
I think Ill stop once the thrill or fantasy of seeing if I can get the baddest stripper in the club do things (extras) that she normally doesnt do with other customers. I have a wife at home that knows I SC so getting an emotional/physical connection from strippers dont mean that much to me at all. Its really just a game/challenge of fucking with fine ass strippers & seeing how far they go. For some reason that gives me a rush. Even if I know its SS so I give PLS (pathetic loser shit)
Also, I only go when Im in a stripclub town & its usually to watch a sporting event and have a couple of drinks. If a bad ass stripper is there then thats a plus.
Papi, Skibum and CallMeIshmael all did strike a good reason in stopping when it's no longer fun or worth it to them. I know i've had days when i wondered what the hell i was really there for during and after the visit. And a continuing lack or reduction of talent can definitely make it less fun or worth it. If it feels no longer worth it, then the financial aspect seems harder to justify. As for Gawker, i think his situation is more self-inflicted collateral damage, for lack of a better term. It's just not a long-term situation that most PLs will experience or afford. That's also a good reason to stop, when the strip club world and the rest of your real life become too intertwined. Which is also part of the social and health aspects.
Some people may even have moral or ethical reasons all of a sudden or even latently that might make them question SCing. Being single and a red blooded straight male, i remain obdurately impenitent about SCing. However, this is not something that i can just tell or share with anyone and everyone. The type of clubbing (quality and quantity) that i do (and probably most PLs) is just not mainstream. So it's always going to be a bit on the down low. That could get a bit tiring, but otherwise, i don't see any end in sight, especially when combined with the new favorites renewing my interest, which seems to be a cycle until they run out of favorite material.
Strategy is probably too grand a term. One of these days I’m going to simply stop going and not look back.
Also, currently have a wicked hot GF, the freakiest nastiest ever, so little motivation to go often.

When will you know it’s time to hang it up?
An excellent point. When I started going to clubs 45+ years ago, they were rather seedy places without quality women. That really improved over time, but has slid backward since it's peak.
This may not be true everywhere, and I don't travel any longer to se how the other half lives, but I see that locally. Not often I see a fine woman.
However, my last SC visit with vincemichaels was a bit of an eye open. Most all the dancers were decent and up.
