If 2 people feel a certain way, why fight it? Let it run it's course. That is of course if it's mutual. One sided relationships don't do so well.

as you know that line continually shifts the more attached you become. Depends on the moment and what each wants, needs and is willing to give. Answering your question, I certainly have and am. Not an easy way to go.

Re: What is the "line"?

I'm not quite sure where that line is but I know that Keri (not her real name) and I crossed it a long time ago, and we still see each other to this day. We are very close friends that really enjoy each others company and both look forward to our meetings, our relationship is more than ten years old now and she has retired. It has always been special and I hope that it doesn't end any time soon, and the best part is that she encourges me to see other providers and tell her how it was, LOL.

Since entering the "hobby", I've been lucky enough to spend time with some very special ladies, and I've been even luckier to have developed a real friendship with a couple of them. While I treasure their friendship (and hope they enjoy mine as well), I've never really thought the possiblity to "cross the line" existed. Maybe because of the distance involved (I live on the East Coast, and they on the West). While I have developed an emotional attachment, it's more of a friendship thing. At this point in my life, I'm much more interested in a comfortable friendship than a romantic relationship.

The line is crossed, I believe, when the two begin to meet/date outside of the hobby/profession.  

That the two are willing and want to do that in the first place, shows some sort of unusual attraction factor to begin with.

I have only been a masseuse for less than a year now, but I can tell you that because of my loving personality, a lot of my clients seem to become emotionally attached and I've found myself hard-pressed to thwart this from happening.  

Many will email me very long letters, poetry, erotic stories they've written, etc., and too, many will confide intimate things about themselves, their personal lives, families, etc.  

Perhaps they feel okay to be very open with me because my life is an open book (on my blog); I'm not sure why?  

And I can tell you from experience, it can and does lead to trouble! At least on my end.  Because I find that if I become personally involved, emotional attachment is the natural outgrowth, and then I don't feel so motivated about my job!  I just want to be with the object of my affection.  Does that make sense?

It is a fine line and sometimes a difficult one not to cross!

line in sand

why can not the 'line' can shift as one chooses. can someone feel that there is no line for an 'hour or two' and let down the conscience barriers that that we have developed over the years? to let our inner emotions just flow for that brief time and carry it with us as a tool to remind us of what is really impportant, each other and those whom we come in contact with. we all should push the line in many different directions and parameters as we see fit as long as we can remain in control with the realities and sensibilities of the phisical and emtional connection. we are here for such a short time.

Most definitely.  The line had to be drawn at remuneration- couldn't continue to see her if P4P was the process. She agreed.
