Dual purpose.

ringBarer:

Not speaking for hobbyists however from our side of the line, this has actually come up in conversation not only with my associates but with some independents I talk to.

Don't think for a second these women don't notice when you take it off if you're a regular wearer. If anything it has been expressed to me, you lose credibility points. Which I can empathize and agree with.

So far I've not encountered a provider who really cares about your marital status in any "significant" way. As for etiquette, I've never heard of one. The majority of our target audience are married men and women. If you're a service provider in this industry chances are you're going to have married clients. Therefore, having moral issue with it is not only counterproductive but attempting to defined such a hill on moral grounds in rather hypocritical at best.

If I had to create an etiquette, I would say leave it on. You're not fooling anyone and to remove it could be interpreted as a form of emotional dishonesty.

I've had several providers tell me they can tell immediately if a guy has taken it off (tan line, indentation, etc.).  Quite frankly, they don't care and think its kind of funny that a guy thinks they could hide something like that.  From my limited data sample, I'd suggest doing whatever you're comfortable with and not worrying about it, the providers don't seem to.  Most don't think it says much about the guy other than they underestimate how sharp these women are.

I know I'm married, she knows I;m married. Taking my ring off doesn't change that fact. I've moved beyond any guilt I might have felt from my cheating. Seeing my ring isn't going to make me suddenly stop what I'm doing or make me lose my erection over some sense of moral iniquity.

I also leave it on because I might forget to PUT IT BACK ON and raise questions with the wife. Also, I'd be fucked if it ever fell out of my pocket while getting dressed.

Luckily, I've gained 30 lb since I first put mine on.  Couldn't take it off if I wanted.  Never been a problem.

I just don't wear a ring, period.  There are several reasons, none of which have anything to do with the hobby.

I don't take it off, I'm not trying to hide anything. I am up front about why I hobby. Nothing is happening at home for a variety of reasons so I hobby, right or wrong it is what I do. I think honesty is the best policy.

For pete's sake, leave it on...

do you really think she cares if you're married???

Who gives a f---   As long as you lay you "donation" down the  ladies don't give a s---. they'll do you regardless, that's what they're paid for.

A cock ring to go with it! Just ask.

I actually went out and bought myself a wedding band (I am unmarried and hope to stay that way).  

I will often slip it on when my partner has a wedding ring on.

This attracts a lot less attention while we're sharing dinner.  They assume that either we are married, that we are close friends, or that we're two married people having an affair.

For some reason, it doesn't occur to people that a married woman could be a compensated companion.

doesn't matter. ladies don't care as long as you have the necessary $$$
