They're called wives. 
But seriously, I have had the experience with a provider I've know for nearly twenty years now where our relationship began to devolve into a spousal type situation.
I seem to recall the last date carrying an arm full of packages of things I bought for her at the mall and she complaining that she was too tired now for any bedroom fun.
Sound familiar to anyone?
Fortunately, she has moved out of state, but we still talk a lot for old times sake.
Cheating ???
Bring the slamming on… but I have been in this long enough to state my “Opinion” with confidence.
I personally believe cheating is an act that threatens a relationship. In a true professional GFE there is absolutely no threat to any personal relationship. I do not feel supporting a provider or using the services of any professional is Cheating.
Maybe I have evolved from years of exposure to human behavior and male desires. But my reality is to:
To expect the male of the species to continue an inevitable battle against the a natural force that is inherited by the very nature of their makeup is (*in my opinion*) absurd and a recipe for disaster. I also don’t feel that an encounter for physical pleasure would justify negating an agreement of emotional attachment made during a lucid time of logic and planning for a lifetime commitment.
I however, also don’t believe that a female should ”reward” any man who is deeply committed emotional to her and agrees to share his life & name with her for the rest of his biological life….. by forbidding him to look at any other woman, forbididng flirting, denying an association of him with any woman or to have sex with anyone but her. Just in my opinion, that isn’t a reward.
I have actually witnessed,(*on numerous occasions*) the positive effects that can happen in a marriage that has eliminated sexual behavior for a number of years. Usually this relationship has built a sexual frustration in the male that starts overflowing into other aspects of the relationship. (*A few visits to a provider can eliminate this frustration which has led to resentment, anger, hostility, etc etc etc…..
I have long been a proponent of Dispelling the Myth.....Of an escort's influence on a marriage.
Now the obvious.... when men want to have sex and their life partner isn't interested they will find other avenues. Whether this leads to an affair with the secretary, uncomplicated, but dangerous sex with a stranger or an emotional fling that changes everyone's life involved forever .... just varies with each gentleman. A man will get sexually satisfied if he is wanting sex. Whether he chooses a responsible avenue, where nothing will ever come back to haunt him or whether he ventures down a path of self destruction is sometimes just a matter of thought and planning.
Just my thoughts… kisses ~T
