The countless Johns with their falling in love posts have been aggravating me for a while now, so I've come up with some thoughts on the subject of our world.

First of all, my name is not John.

On the one hand, boundaries are good, an important thing in relationships and uniquely taken care of in the hobby world.  

these principles are followed the vast majority of the time.  

I promise to see her, if it's convenient for me. If it's been a year, that's the way it played out, so don't get your feelings hurt.  

Yeah, but it also is natural to want to combine physical and emotional intimacy, so people have to work through that. And talking about it is part of working through it. Unfortunately, a lot of guys never actually work through it - they just stumble around, complaining that their ATF is dishonest and cruel, and eventually wander away, sad and hurt, never actually understanding that:

"On the other hand, it's very normal and human to begin to care deeply about someone who gives herself to you completely. I think there's been research showing attachment forms between people after repeated orgasms together. I think it's unnatural and probably bad for us to try to divorce our emotions from sex. I mean, when you talk to a friend you feel something, so if you're having sex with a friend it follows that you'd feel something then too."

My "thoughts," if we can call them that, are that a fuck without at least some fond feeling for your partner is no more fun than a dry shave. And as far as principles go... Principles!? Principles??!! We don't need no fuckin' principles!  

1. People talking about falling in love within the hobby OR  
2. People COMPLAINING about people postin about falling in love within the hobby?

I'm way too spacey to notice a guy's face in public and actually too shy to go say hi. I've done that once or twice IRL and holy shit I still cringe. *awkward*

They seem to like me just fine when I drop my envelope. And they or I leave afterwards.

So these posts on this subject this past week are crazy.
Just be upfront with what you want and find ladies that satisfy your needs.  
I don't care if you are dating or married outside of this hobby either.

and why did it need to be said? Seems like the need was only yours.

sorry big guy my remarks were suppose to be directed at the OP

I think you are like GaG and another guy I know who are prone to not making spot on posts unless they've been drinking!

I find it amusing that you fucked up and replied to the wrong person, then he apologized to you, and you accepted, when you were the one who should have apologized for replying to the wrong person! Doesn't matter if the issue was resolved. It's funny and I can comment on it if I want.

So I guess your desperate to keep this going.
The real funny part is your on here worried about my comment instead of the ladies.

It would not be my choice to ignore a provider I saw on the street.  That seems horrible rude.  I would want to say hi, give her a heartfelt hug and ask how she's doing.  If I was with someone, I would introduce her as my masseuse.  What am I missing?  Is this what providers want?

My current favorite has two daughters who don't know what she does when they're off at college.  If I were to meet her outside of our usual location and one or both of her daughters were a few steps in front or behind her, my acknowledging her might cause her to have to explain more than she'd like to do.  Mutual discretion is a must in my opinion.

Your cover story could fall apart in an instant.  One hesitation, stutter, or mis-step by either party could bring on a whole world of hurt for someone who has a highly perceptive S/O, friend, or family member.
I would "want" to stop and say hi of course, but discretion can be a real bitch sometimes.
