Never, never have I seen I thread telling of a provider struggling to save her favorite client from his nasty ways and a life of womanizing and whoremongering. Did I miss that thread? Was that issue totally resolved before I joined TER?

And it's really a very touching story. I didn't really expect a response this real, this moving. Thank you.

they know what you are when you walk in the door -   unlike most hobbyists who tend to romanticize pay for fucking way too much

There are lots of threads posted by guys who apparently want to save the provider from her occupation. I'd like to know if there are providers who ever attempt to save clients from the life of a monger. Long & short.

Ok, I get it now.  

Like, I've heard some bartenders refusing to serve someone who's falling-down drunk, but I've yet to hear one counsel anyone to join AA and live a sober life. Still, I'm sure such conversations do happen.

I for one don't need saving. Did it occur to you that the reason that discussion hasn't taken place, is that we hobbyists do this willingly? I mean c'mon we pay for it. This life is soooo much better than the alternative of having to put up with all the drama and bullshit just to get laid. It is sooo much easier and less stressful to pay for it directly, get to fuck women who would otherwise not give you a second look and because you read their reviews you have a good idea if the do the things you like.

Depends on whose full stomach I'm on, of course. But seriously, fasting for at least twelve hours seems to work out best for me. Juice and small amounts of fruit, I might do that. Maybe a protein drink or a smoothie a few hours before the session starts.

This Q has a familiar ring to it.  Kind of reminds me of:

No disrespect meant. Some may have no thoughts at all that are pertinent to the topic. There are plenty of topics posted here that evoke no special thought or opinion from me.

and perhaps it is, but then Sweet Mellisa comes along and gives a wonderful example, thus affirming the decency and humanity of herself and I'm sure other providers.

I'm thinking that this would make a very interesting plot for a movie or novel.

married a provider. He said she'd given him so many "passes" to hobby but once they were gone, that was it. I seem to remember he used them up pretty quickly. So kinda what you're referring to. In a way.

Man, I wonder what those would go for on E-bay.

I think I know who you are referring to. If memory serves, he met her on the sunny side of the street and only discovered that she was a provider durung the initial stages of forming a relationship.

"...and besides I was sick of his saggy balls wrinkly ass skin liver spots and old man smell... But I cared enough to do the right thing"
