Ladies have you ever dated(in the traditional sense) or married a client?

... and with patience, understanding, and complete honesty it can not only work, but work beautifully. This is true for every relationship.

Kindly,

Alexandra

This issue aside from being taboo has been beaten to death over and over.

BOUNDARIES......    

I would date a client, but since I'm not interested in marriage right now, I'd have to pass on the request.    

In 20 years I've known seven providers who have married hobbyists (read their clients or met at a meet and greet). In the general population the divorce rate is about 50%. For Cops and Lawyers it's higher. Of the seven women six were divorced within 4 years or less. From what I "heard" and know either she cheated on him or he went back to seeing providers on the DL.  

Bottom-line, deceit was primary driver.

Not Scientific, merely sharing.

Patrick J. Schiltz lays out the facts in the May 1999 Vanderbilt Law Review in his article,"On Being a Happy, Healthy, and Ethical Member of an Unhappy, Unhealthy, Unethical Profession":  Schlitz goes on to cite studies that divorce is more prevalent among lawyers than in other professions, and it’s especially hard on female attorneys, compared to female physicians and professors.  Citing a 1989 study, he writes: "Specifically, the divorce rate for female lawyers was twice the divorce rate for female doctors and 25% to 40% higher than the divorce rate for women teaching in post secondary institutions."

 
Darn and here I was going to say "Marry me. Be my love slave and lets build and industry empire together'.

For starters, Alexandra  you were my ATF, 3 times over.   Is this why you  left again after a brief appearance in Sept 2012 because you found that special someone  while doing this ?       While I have had a few  opportunities  for relationships with providers and believe it can happen as Alexandra states,   I have not found that one person where age and interest match up to take the chance.  Otherwise I would seriously consider it and not have that double standard about it.
I  wish I was 10 to 15 years younger ,  knew what I know, had the  money  I have now, because I would die trying to  win  Alexandra's  heart.  But  time separates us from being more than  afternoon friends behind closed doors.  
   Personality, Positive attitude, integrity, and honestly are some of the  few  things needed to make it work if you are to marry someone in this wonderful underworld of ours

If you marry a provider does she also stop having sex once married like most other women?  

...no matter how they originate, lol Hey, we are all human.

Relationship? Marriage? But I thought this is why we have the hobby. Because of those two institutions!

Oh well, go ahead. Either way it creates more clients right
