Well, Bbrain,
I'd say every woman is an individual and every woman will have a different response...affected by her partner, her surroundings, her job, if she's ovulating, if she's near her period, if she's not turned on, etc.
Now as to if a woman will state that she's hurting, I'd say more often than not, providers will keep quiet and go on. After all, it's their job to provide sexual satisfaction. It's like any physical profession. There is pain sometimes, just like for a ballet dancer or a stunt woman, but she has to go on until the pain becomes so overwhelming that the job no longer becomes feasible. I'd say, realistically speaking, a provider's career can easily be cut by perimenopause and the attendant vaginal atrophy, [however minuscule,] which definitely will cause pain during intercourse. Some women cannot tolerate estrogen supplements, even when applied topically and/or locally; other women have such erratic cycles with metrorrhagia (excessive bleeding) that planning for a professional encounter is almost impossible. Another issue can be fibroids or endometriosis, which can make intercourse very painful, and which can happen at any age beyond puberty. The one thing you'll need to be aware of, is that most providers will NOT regale their clients with their personal vaginal health discussions. They'll keep quiet and just bear it if they're in pain.
Providers often have to engage in intromissive sex while not turned on; during days very close to their menses when vaginal tissues are on the dry side; and, even sometimes DURING their menses, when the entire vaginal canal has been desiccated by douching and big tampons, and blood flow is stopped by a sponge or diaphragm [yes folks, another 'dirty, dirty secret' in the profession.] Many providers DO have sex during their period, and just the tension as to whether it will be obvious to the client can make the entire vaginal area cramp up. It's hard to fake orgasms when they have to worry about blood leakage and oftentimes cramping as well.
And last, but not least - latex condoms are absolute vaginal dryers. A woman would have to be dripping with 'natural excitement' to go on for anything longer than five minutes without external lubricant. And, as a male, if after 10 minutes of pumping, hitting your stride and almost getting there, are you so apt to pull out and lube up just because you're thinking about the provider? Most clients would not. And so there she is, the provider - in pain, maybe wincing, but otherwise trying to keep up her blazingly hot, sexual persona...as her profession and yes, the reviews, demand.
Now I don't want to make it out that providers and hobbyists are locked into a gruesome, protracted effort solely to make that penis erupt; most of the time, the time spent forthe average male pumping prior to vaginal ejaculation is less than 3-4 minutes. But...those minutes can feel like hours if the provider is uncomfortable, not excited, tired or just plain irritated mentally. Sometimes things don't click on a physical or chemical level once the clothes come off. Two people can find themselves very attracted to one another..and then bam, hop in bed and the sexual chemistry is just way off.
Many providers will also make mental notes regarding clients who are 'a lot of work.' When it comes to inter-provider references, this is often a very basic question - "is he a lot of work?" And, when bills are due, a provider will often accept a 'physically active' client that she would normally avoid...and in the process maybe feel physical pain.
Of course it can be argued that providers choose their vocation freely and willingly; that they are aware of the pros and cons; and, that they should remain consummate professionals and just grin and bear it. But your posting is a very valid and important one, in that it raises a thorny issue. We want this to be a positive experience for both parties - while still remaining aware of the fact that sex is a commodity available at a price...the question is, how much is too much?
Caveat emptor,
the Love Goddess
