Is usually along the same lines as what would creep myself or any other provider out. On a first date or even the third, it is inappropriate to me to ask intimate questions like: "What is your real/first-last name?" "May I come to your home/apartment?" "What would it take for you to be my exclusive friend/girlfriend?" And so on, and so forth... (I'm sure by now you get the point of what would be deemed as an 'inappropriate question.')

I don't doubt though that some times both provider or client make a slip up and ask what -they- think is an innocent enough question like how many children does one have or where one graduated from but the key note is to always -respect- somebody's boundaries once they told you: "you've crossed it buddy." Will those things always be a touchy subject though? Maybe not, depending on how close you get to one another and how much trust is developed, a la Iconaclassic's situation above. One just has to feel out how far they can go and respect the line.

Some clients see providers because they are paying for them to leave, not for sex.  Some don't want a relationship and all the strings and 'crap' that go with it - they want a fantasy.  Some are socially awkward and aren't in a real relationship because they are, to put it bluntly, socially inept.

When you're participating in an act that is not only sexual but obviously very intimate, you'll get those who 'fall in love' and think the provider has only seen them, and only them - the fantasy.

Remember the AMP provider who was killed at Vermont Therapy?  A client didn't want to 'share' her with anybody.

Remember, DC is a government town with people who are very bright and have access and knowledge to means to find out very private information.  Without even that, wasn't there a post on here lately that a guy figured out providers name via the photographer they used and his watermarks and links to his home page?

I'll step off the soapbox now.
