End of the Rhp Road

October 27 2015

i have been chatting to a friend the last few days and she had been thinking shutting her RHP account after many years on this site. She said it does not offer her anything anymore and got what she wanted out of it. Nothing much to prove nor to garner. Or something like that. She is a highly intelligent and empathetic person and had surely had her share of the pie. A lot more than I have. I have been here only a couple of years and the learning curve in sexual discovery and awakening has massive, a J-curve indeed in the first year... and still going. I have a lot more to tick in my bucket list but not that many that I think I will miss out in life if I dont ever get to tick it here in RHP. There is always the RL where we can meet people who we can openly communicate our needs and wants and hope they fill those needs. I am still enjoying my journey here, with the Forums (a good source of info) and have discovered the chat room this year. Friendships have been made with like-minded non-prejudicial sexual people. It made me think about what I really want out of RHP. So how many of you have contemplated that it is time to hang up the RHP boots and move on to different things. Temporarily or permanently. Have you got what you wanted from RHP, i.e. what are the main things you wanted to experience and have you? Did you make efforts to achieve those goals? Has your experience matched your expectation? Please explain. What is your trigger point(s) for you to exit RHP? Over to you folks.

    Thanks for outing me. Kidding! Yes, I got from RHP what I wanted, which was to tick off all the things on my fucket list, find amazing lovers, and hopefully make some friends along the way. I put a fair bit of effort (and membership fees) into that that the last 3+ years. Though I don't meet many guys anymore (not a conscious choice, just how it's working out), I still really enjoy the fora and meet and greets. I may leave when either something happens to turn me right off being here or if I feel logging on to this site no longer adds anything to my life, for whatever reason. Maybe someday...

    But came back. I figure now that I've paid for a year's membership, I may as well hang around until it is time to renew, then decide. I also have paid on other adult sites, at least one (SH) I won't renew. RHP has Meet & Greets, where I am able to physically meet many people at once aside from at swinger parties, and where nearly all follow up meetings/contacts have resulted from. While I've only spent any alone time (social or play) with 3 rhp members, I have made possible longer term friends/arrangements (local and interstate), so considering the cost of annual membership, it's been a worthwhile investment :) I will continue while it's still likely to meet new people, both locally or interstate. But during regular Melbourne/Vic profile searches, I do think to myself that I've already contacted or tried to contact most people that might find me suitable based on their preferences, so I keep an eye on recently joined members. My only real issue is that with the internet being so accessable, it's too easy to be distracted by these sites especially at home, when I might have something constructive I am supposed to be doing, like now for instance :) But the other good thing about being here, is that I would otherwise have no-one to talk/chat with about certain private interests and to ask/answer questions. As for bucket list items, I find the available swinger parties the best place to experience them, and make contacts for any other fantasies, which I do not need to be on RHP for unless they are only listed here.

    but the forums always draw me back. I discovered my bucket DOES have a list and I've ticked off most of it so in that sense RHP has served me well. My experiences have surpassed my expectations in opening up my way of thinking and being proud of owning my sexuality. I have become less critical of others and more open-minded on a whole lot of things. I've made some enduring friendships which I will treasure. My trigger to leave would be wanting more than FWB but I find that attitudes in real life don't really match mine anymore (maybe I've been corrupted but in ever so nice a way...) so where does one go to find that "more"?

    Almost all of what was on my bucket list but the longer I stay, the more my bucket fills up 😰😝 I have found a great man whom I love, who is patient and kind and is willing to hold my hand along this (at times scary but most exciting) journey. He's opened my eyes to so much more than I ever expected to experience when I joined RHP over 3 years ago. I am still here mostly for the forums now but I always have my eyes out for potential hotties who wish to join us. *Sign up below* 😉 Sorry, but you're all just going to have to put up with me a while longer 😊 - Posted from rhpmobile

    Its been a mixed journey for me. I meet some really great humans in the last 5 years.. yes 5 years.. But like all things in life I look forward to my next adventure and think about that more and more often.. In saying that, and although I meet some fantastic people , I also seen the other side of some personalities I didnt like. I always give people a chance even when I dont agree with some things . In other words' today I'll debate certain things and might upset the apple cart , but tomorrow Ill move on . Its the people who hold grudges who irk me the most.. Did I tick everything off my bucket list .. well no ! My bucket list just gets longer .. There are some things and some people I should have ticked off which I didnt. But I put part of that down to me being fussy bugga.. Do I think Ill be missed.. By some a definite yes , by others a maybe , and some ' well who cares ? So for me its a matter of time.. not if, just when.. Jay...

    In and out of this sexual dimension all the time.... Switch off and on and back n forth 😝 To be honest, it can be distracting if you let it, and between actually having time to play and finding suitable playmates... Meh!! .... It's a little less exciting than I had first thought, have ticked off some fantasies, have plenty left on the list, and we're just cruising... Anything good is always worth the effort and the wait 😝

    I joined RHP, and used to visit the chat rooms a fair bit due to being a night owl. 7 odd years later I find the forums entertaining and don't bother with the chat rooms anymore. There's a lot of people I've talked to on here, mostly via message to message. Don't see my time here ending anytime soon as I enjoy the forums way too much. Have I got what I wanted or expected? Yep, sure have. That's a place to ask questions, have questioned answered and evolve my knowledge of life in general.

    This is the only site with a decent active forum(biaus has one but its not like this one) so I think its probably the only adult dating/sex site where there are people with active profiles who arent looking for new hookups ( me at the mo) A bit unique for when you want to take a break from play you can still interact on here or in the chatrooms. The forums have shown me that friendships can be made, even though I didnt come on this site to make friends. So its been an unexpected bonus to have some special people in my life who I respect and care about. People on the forums organising meet @ greets and social events all over the country.Never thought I would go to something social, but also made ongoing friendships through that medium.I left for a short time when real life dramas and health became an issue for me. I had to focus on other things because I can at times spend too much time on here.(like when I was supposed to be studying) But Im single and my time is mine to spend it how I like. If it drains me, I suppose I will leave here. But probably will die here and Cap'n No Beard can bury me at sea. Weigh me down with my big bertha strappon and throw me overboard to sink to the bottom of the watery sandpit and feed the sharks. Lol

    In the past couple of years and feel like I am close to wanting another break again soon because, logging in here doesn't excite me anymore and the quality of some men who have contacted me, or I contacted them, in the last month are just average-below average! It is indeed a big disappointment to see as I had met some really fabulous gentlemen in the first year of joining and their qualities were superb. Anyways, here are my answers to your questions: Have you got what you wanted from RHP, i.e. what are the main things you wanted to experience and have you? Did you make efforts to achieve those goals? * No I didn't, and still haven't, got what I wanted from the site. Yes, I did make efforts in trying to achieve my ultimate goal for joining RHP, but it doesn't seem to be the right place for me to seek what I sought. Maybe that is why. Has your experience matched your expectation? Please explain. * Yes, but for a very short period of time. I had so much fun, great experiences and met some wonderful men in the beginning of my journey on here, but they all became histories in the end due to our different needs and desires. What is your trigger point(s) for you to exit RHP? * I have not yet thought of deleting my RHP account permanently, but have had some breaks on and off and am thinking of having another break again soon. I am still strongly committing to achieving my goals in life and getting through my priorities, so I am still not yet ready to settle down into another serious relationship at this stage. And so I will be here for a little while I think. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Have we contemplated leaving RHP, not really. We joined RHP to meet other couples. In that regard it has never worked as well as clubs or parties, so as a way of meeting people we have better options which led us to not renewing our paid membership. At first RHP met our needs, in meeting people, but it's a slow time consuming process. It did however lead us to the club and party scene. Now all that's left is the forums.

    ...I've said it before that I just exist here. I consider it like an R-rated Facebook.I don't set goals in my social life...I rather take it as it comes or go out and make it.I have enough of timelines and the like in my work life, I think. But, were I to be in a relationship, I would likely limit my activities here to just the forums...which is not much different to the present.

    This site is the best I've been on, in the respect that most people are respectful, there are always exceptions, but on the whole, a better quality of person can be found here. Mostly like minded people, wanting different things perhaps, but generally respecting we're all here for the same reason. I pulled my profile once, broken heart sigh won't go there, but signed up again 2 days later, or something like that, because I felt more isolated and shitty without the contact on here from other people, which I enjoy. I'm busy at the moment so don't sweat it if there aren't many prospects of interest on any given day, but there's always a flow of communication, usually leading to off here communication and connection, I keep it to a minimum when I'm busy, and finding time to even communicate can be difficult, but it enables me to get to the people I want to get to, which with my preferences, wouldn't be possible in the real world. I find the site very user friendly, so much so that other sites annoy me. As far as a bucket list and expectation, I don't have any expectation, and don't like order in my life, consider myself a 'fly by the seat of my pants gal' so just take it as it comes, don't like to tick boxes, that's a bit mechanical, very happy to just let it evolve as it has been. I've had the best year, turning 52 soon, if it's half as good as 51, I'll be a very happy person

    I didnt know what to expect, was just looking for a friends with benefits situation. I did get that, and also made a lot of friends. Ive helped to organise some social events, met some awesome people from Interstate and have regained my confidence ( to the extent that I now admit to being an exhibitionist!) It has well exceeded my expectations. Im really happy where Im at right now and not looking for anything serious. If it happened however, Id probably hang around for the forums and chat.
