To me that sounds like you're questioning how one navigates a "mature" approach to a romantic relationship when you know that you're susceptible to addictive/obsessive behaviour and cannot assess or control your emotional and financial involvement Sadly regardless of the SS/SP origin of the situation it's still a matter of intuition, self-awareness, honesty, trust and communication between the parties to keep the relationship in an agreeable lane rather than heading prematurely for the off-ramp or onward into a punter fireball.
Cynics/realists might like to slap fluffies in the face and just shout "She's a whore you idiot!" but most GFE punters with over a couple of dozen different notches on the bedpost at a variety of price points will have likely met at least one SP who gave them more than the time of day even when they thought they were being guarded and "punter pro" about it.
If it were a forum darling then a punter might slap himself out of it for the practiced professional that she is, even if the connection is genuine (because those can happen). The real danger comes when the SP is an unknown and seems to be blurry on her boundaries for intimacy, conversation, off-menu free extras and personal details backed by vulnerable behaviours. It may still be a very elaborate con or psychological instability but that's not all too different to a civvy opening up.
Christ! With the games being played out by the schemers and spoilt women on "dating", "agreement" and "content" sites there are plenty of grifters poisoning the well. Punter suspicion should rightfully be high but whether his capacity for misogyny will be over-ruled by his desire for meaningful connection is all down to how damaged he is.
Even veteran P&Ders aren't immune from Cupid's folly in placing an absolute corker of a newbie in their crosshairs when the magic door opens. She might even be Romanian!
I really think this post nails it.
I’ve had 500-1000 punts in 20 years. Over the time I’ve got close to 3 WGs only even though I tend to keep returning to the same girls.
Punting is just business for me, but I do feel as though I am on a quest to find the perfect working girl, almost searching for “the one”. Once every 5 years I’ll knock on the door and she opens it when I’m least expecting it. She has the looks, the personality, the style and the service which really pushes my buttons. Because she drives me wild I think she picks up on it too and chemistry kicks in on both sides from the first meet.
With me it then starts with the long eccentric bookings, then free extra time, then texting, then revealing of personal details and vulnerabilities on the WG side. It can then move into free meets and bordering on dating.
Almost immediately for me, it also starts to go south emotionally. She takes over your head, and the self doubt and turmoil creeps in. Is this really what you want with the collateral damage and considering how you met? This stage can get really miserable really quickly, it is far stronger and more confusing than a normal relationship.
The middle one of my 3 nearly bought me down. I had a great job, long term relationship, really happy life etc and out of nowhere I totally lost my head over her. I couldn’t think straight, my personal life and job performance became a shambles and the lies I told at work and at home to keep that going were off the charts. We were so bad for each other, it was a total head fuck. It went on for nearly 6 months till she fortunately went home.
For the last month or so I have been doing this again and it feels fucking horrible. It has totally messed with my head, even though this time is the least reciprocated of the 3. Each time they get more ridiculous as the age gap, outlook and physical appearance widens, but it’s very difficult to keep yourself on the straight and narrow even though you can see exactly what is happening and know all of the advice.
I don’t think that any of my experiences were just out for money, but I do think punters vulnerable to EAS need to tread very carefully as a skilled girl could absolutely rinse you financially with just a few well placed words.
My advice again is to really tread carefully and cut this stuff off as early as possible. Ideally before it begins, or as soon as you feel it developing. It only gets harder with time. This is particularly true if you are settled or married with a comfortable setup at home. You are really playing with dynamite having affairs of the heart with a working girl.
