Do you Mongers take Hiatus?

Sure. Not 6 years, lol, but there are times that it gets stale. There are also times that I wish to divert spending to other things. I think it's normal.

I’ve tried I just can’t though. If I take more than a week break the CFs blow up my phone and I just can’t help but cave. Nobody said common sense or logic was a prerequisite to this hobby.

Over the years, any hiatus I have taken was financially driven. This is an expensive hobby.

Oh yeah there was a time where I had an ATF that always me me outside the club so I think in 2 years I only went into a club 3 times and each time it was with friends from a guys night out. Don’t even think that counts as a strip club trip.

Can't answer... I'm away at the moment.

Absolutely. I’ll do 2-3 days a week at peak times and then take a month or two off entirely. As with anything, you have to be intentional about your choices. If it stops being worth your time and money, stop doing it.

My frequency ebbs and flows but without a lot of deliberate meaning behind it.

I take a break once a while just because I am tired of clubbing.

Kind of. Sometimes I would get de-sensitized to it which let me know I was letting my trips run a little long (3-5 hours) and the solution was just (for me at the time, in my youth) shorter trips. Where I would try to stay to long to get my money's worth out of cover change and two drink minimum. I never really thought of it like the opening post though. Mostly if I didn't want to go for a few weeks or months or years, I just wouldn't go and not really think about it or reflect on it too much.

There was one time I took a 12 year hiatus but that was for different reasons. Mostly because I was newly married and bought a house. A budget and respect thing. And because some of the trips leading up to my last few trips before I met the Missus, there was open air front room extras (FS), guys degrading the dancers, and other debauchery. Enough that I said, this isn't me and I don't care to be associated with this new direction of strip clubs. So I left. For 12 years.

At times, it can feel like I’m going to clubs more out of habit than true enjoyment. That’s when I take a break of anywhere from a couple months to a couple years.

1) About a year break when I was unemployed for a while towards the tail end of the 2000's recession

2) about 2 or 3 months break about 4 years ago when I was helping out my brother w/ some financial issues

Other than that I've never been able to take long breaks voluntarily although I told myself dozens of times I should do it.

Over the last couple of months I've cut down my SCing by about 3/4 b/c the rush of it just wasn't there like it had usually been in the past - currently still in that meh/been-there-done-that state and not sure how my SCing will be going-forward.

"... At times, it can feel like I’m going to clubs more out of habit than true enjoyment ..."

Kinda where I've been over the last year or so - after having SCed consistently hard for the last 5 or 6 years

I take a hiatus whenever there is no longer that thrill to go clubbing. The hiatus could be one or six months, it's just time to recharge. I enjoy the semi_hunting aspect of clubbing and if that thrill goes away it's time for a break.

I quit clubbing to invest in the stock market! I've been so much happier ever since! No more liars, just you and the money

Ebbs and flows but recently its been a bit of a struggle. I do see however that I'm not as eager to go for fun. As soon as I get there I wonder why and then I see dancers I like and remember why. Seriously with a beginning there is a end so ultimately the SC thing for me will end. I don't know if it would be gradual or abruptly

I only club when I travel and sometimes I go stretches where there's not much travel or it's all quick trips or even more likely, I end up visiting strip club deserts. Still not sure I'd call that a hiatus.

Took a 5 year break once. I've been saying for a year I'm going to be done soon then keep going. Have a few more things on the strip club bucket list and that's probably it.

I took a hiatus last week it was the longest fifteen minutes of my life ;)

You won't get tired of clubbing in TJHK and you won't break the bank either.

Do you take a hiatus from breathing? Eating? Sleeping?

No, of course not.

I took a 19 year break from strip clubs.....that isn't a typo....but not from overall mongering.

I do tend to slow down the middle of November through the end of the year but it has more to do with being busy and the holidays than it does from any observation of spending too much
