For the providers:  

For some providers the hobby is not really a hobby, but instead a career choice. For those who's main source of income is the hobby, do you have a plan of how long or how much money before retiring?

I have known several providers that have successfully exited the hobby as an occupation, but unfortunately many providers (and sex workers in general) tend to be very poor at managing their finances.   I know an LA based provider who had a "sugar daddy" who paid her rent for over 10 years.  She has $40 grand in credit card debt and no financial assets.

of manicures.  Boy, I bet they were purdy.
