Just kidding. That's a good question. Maybe some brave provider will give an honest answer.

Maybe it's the most innocuous reason. Seeing so many guys, they're afraid they'll screw up and call you the wrong name.

Having a provider say my real name is a real turn on--sometimes I have to ask for that extra 'service'...sometimes they seem reluctant to do so.  Maybe a 'protective' strategy?

Thats always been one of my pet peeves; while I'm moaning her name in passion, the most I get back is 'babe' or 'hon'...I try to make it a point at the beginning of a session to ask that they call me by my first name during activities.

intimate encounters...don't you think it makes it just a little more personal!?! Don't get me wrong, there are times when were in the act and I blurp out babe. However, in general I try to keep things on a first name basis.
