You mean us whores can be nice, compassionate, wise people - so long as we're not working?  I don't believe it.  Not one whit!

I felt like a just read a good sex novel...huh?

I am one who spends a good amount of time reading through reviews and discussion boards.  I am intrigued by this whole hobby and dabble in it occassionally.  I can relate to Mr. Robinson's comments.  His first encounter with Catherine had a lasting affect on him most definitely physically, but more profoundly psychologically.  From reading Catherine's weblogs on her site, one can tell that she has a certain focus and intensity about her that makes men gravitate towards her.  It sounds like it was somewhat of a life changing event that, when seeing Catherine again, brought back strong memories.

My guess is that many men in this hobby don't socialize regularly with the women they spend an hour or two or more with.  Their entire context for being with the ladies of this community is within the confines of a hotel room or a home.  

MrRobinson probably was a bit intrigued by what Catherine was like outside of the context that he was familiar with.  As a parallel example, can't it be a bit ackward and also interesting to run into a work colleague while he/she or you are out with your family at a grocerie store, movie, or restaurant?  Aren't you a bit interested to see what he/she is like outside of work?  Would it not surprise you that he/she acts differently outside of the work environment than in it?

My guess is that MrRobinson felt somewhat the same and it was interesting to see what Catherine was like outside of the context that he knew her from.  I don't think it was meant AT ALL as a slam to "us whores", but a compliment to a woman that truly affected his life.

For those who didn't catch the full post before Mr. R. deleted it:  He saw Catherine outside the business, in a restaurant, by accident.  The emphasis of his post seemed to be that even outside the biz, she was this glowing, wonderfully nice, angel-like being.  I recall he said something like she would be the nicest person that the restaurant workers would see all day.

The point of my post was not to be negative, but to remind you guys that providers are people like everyone else.  To put someone up on a pedastal and give her these super-human qualities, like Mr. R did w Catherine, is to me no different from saying someone is a dirty slut because she's a provider.  It's all stereotyping, it all makes us into things and not people.  So give her, and me, a break.  Let Catherine go to the restauant w/o having to be an angel.  

Thanks, Mr. R, for taking it down.

Thank you.
