If you can't or won't give of yourself freely without expectation of something in return, you have no business being in a relationship in the first place.

It goes both ways. If she is just taking and not giving freely of herself in return, then it isn't a relationship either.

Both have to do it. Otherwise you are just using each other. As soon as one or the other in a relationship starts "expecting" something, it is over, and they have moved into an exploitative arrangement.
There's no such thing as giving and not expecting something in return, in any relationship. Even if you consciously think you're not expecting anything in return, you are. That's part of the human condition. There's no such thing as selflessness, even if there is such a thing as empathy, charity, etc. In an intimate relationship however, both parties are there to get something from the other in such a major way that many line up their bank accounts, assets, way of living, and life goals. If you have that kind of integration, no human is doing it out of selflessness. In a non-intimate relationship, the chances of altruism are much higher and easier because you don't have as much of a personal stake in it.

Sorry but I find your view on relationships naive and simple minded, and it's even more irritating when you make your pontifications so directed.

Well perhaps you just need to arrange things so YOU can get away and I could pick YOU up and bring you to Club 69, Eh? (Anyone who's seen me gets that...)
This is a really good idea. I've been busy "putting out fires" and have had trouble keeping up with posts, despite that you are one of the coolest people I know. The trouble with compensation,(pretending to be tough and aloof when you are actually deeply concerned about everyone and hypersensitive) is that it can be time consuming and tiring. Oh, did I write that out loud? :D Surreality brought to you by Roxanne. ;)

Can we go to downtown Vancouver as well and see my weirdos (by which I mean old friends)?

Wow! I love that statement above Playful Alex. I definitely want to be with a like minded person and I see nothing wrong with this line of work as long as it's done on ones own terms. I think I'm struggling with this because I've dated judgemental control freaks in the past and assume I'll get pulled to that again and have to defend myself. I don't have shame around escorting. I keep it from my family only cause they wouldn't understand and I don't want to hurt them. Previously I worked under a different name and stopped for an Ex that came back into my life. I hung my head in shame in front of him when he found out. It took me a good six months to realize that this guy was totally trying to control me and make me feel absolutely terrible about myself to make himself feel better. FORGET THAT MAN!!!! UGH
I'd like to thank everyone for their insight, it's been very helpful and the PM's I found very honest and respectful
If it was me and I met an SP and we started dating I would love to know and wouldn't mind if she continued to work as long as we could have a couple of nights off together. If love is what you're looking for, I hope you find it! I agree with everybody that honesty is probably best otherwise half of you will be closed away for ever and it will damage the relationship at least a little.

I like to pride myself on my honesty and am very conscious of not being judgemental. I believe progressive people go throw changes in life and someones past should not be held against them. Being a student, I one day will not be an SP anymore and hope to have a family and get married.
I appreciate this profession on many levels and the amount that I have learnt about men, their needs, how they tick, why they stray ect. is amazing. I feel this will make me an understanding wife one day.

Say some years down the road I meet someone I want to marry. Do I tell them of previously being an SP? A couple men I have asked this to have said " never never never tell the guy you want to marry cause men aren't that understanding"?

If someone really loves me they wont hold it against me, and my biggest fear would be having them feel insecure or untrusting.

I ask myself how I would feel if the man I wanted to spend my life with came out to tell me he used to be in the Mod or was a cross dressing crackhead at one point?

And if I do tell, at what point do I have this conversation? Thanks giving? The anniversary of his Mothers death? (he's already upset anyways) ......JK

Love to hear anyones thoughts, Kay


Wow this is SUCH a personal question/contemplation.


Unfortunately you're asking a "loaded" audience here. Your audience is "loaded" with guys who have ALL respected this line of work at some point... AND loaded with women, nearly all of whom can relate to you.

That is to say that this subset is nowhere near to a cross section of society.


I once had a long-time regular girl I saw, who always used to insist that she would never tell a soul in her future just what she used to do to make ends meet, and it always made me sad to imagine her needing to keep something so significant (in some ways) such a secret from someone she would want to be so close to.


Well over a decade has gone by, and we still on occasion connect via email from far-away... and she told me a year or two ago that she was mated with a great guy and that she had told him just about everything (and particularly about her time as a working girl, when merely putting food on the table for her child).


So you really have to play it by ear... while perhaps wisely erring on the side of NOT telling a soul... just because that's how society is.


Now of course you might alter your game plan if your incall is right across the street from your old school, and where you are sure to be found, and outed, by somebody .

If it is reasonable that the partner won't find out through outside sources then you are safest when keeping such a secret for all eternity.


The instinct to tell (such a secret) can in ways be like (a woman's) instinct to simply stop monthly payments on (her man's) storage locker in another town (against his wishes)... only to find out after a decade or more that he'd been storing a dead body in there.... (which in turn breaks up the woman's happy relationship... most recently as the direct result of her following her whims).

If you simply can't keep a secret then your original question doesn't matter too much.

It's surprising to see the amount of guys who think the OP should be honest and up front about her past.
We hear from escorts that most of their clients are married or have a GF and we know that these guys aren't adhering to the "honesty is the best policy" approach.
