I've always begun a booking with a friendly open attitude. I always book an SP who's at least in her 40s - not necessarily "Stated age"! - with a friendly attitude. We both know why we're there; let's see about enjoying ourselves for the next however long.
Having once been suckered into having EAS for a SP, I've learned my lesson and have returned to my original punting mantra, "I'm here for a shag, not a relationship!" and as a result of that the WGs I see know that I'm no threat to their private lives.
So over the years, I've become friends - nothing more; nothing less - with two or three of my Regulars over the years. I don't want to be part of their Civvy Street lives, just as I'm sure they don't want me to be either.
It hasn't stopped me being invited to the Evening Do after one of them married another of her Regular clients, nor to a packed church in the East Midlands for the funeral service of another: the much-missed Lustylush. Both of whom were invited - with carefully-concocted cover stories, obvs!
- to my 70th birthday party.
