Thanks for encapsulating the true "being a regular" experience. A lot of the earlier commentary was starting to sell it as some sort of fairy tale if not more like a marketing ploy.
A punter may make an SP a "regular" for any number of singular reasons different or at odds with those me makes another a regular. Note the SP doesn't have to consent to being honoured with this branding, she may tolerate the business and suffer the attention or she may enjoy the attentions of an amenable bedfellow or otherwise unthreatening, sociable respite. We here are all paddling in a scorned part of "Life" but it is still part of "Life", one can meet people you'd like in your orbit in the most unexpected places. BUT in this lark the one over-riding aspect is that however much you might become attached it is most likely the other side has different expectations, psychological and emotional boundaries and they all come up hard against the criteria that at least part of the interaction is paid for. IF you break past paying for sex (or any other part of the encounter) well then you're no longer a regular you're a (sex) partner/fuckbuddy/fwb and back in "civvy" street. We know some vets here have gotten into long relationships with their former SPs, one or two even married. It's allmost a rite of passage for those who play the game long enough, but in that it's just a warped reflection of "RL"; money as always will be a huge determinant in the success.
I can see how some of the prior posts may make you feel like it was roses or marketing, but it certainly wasn't meant in that way, for me at least it was just about trying to show that not everyone black and white in this business.
As Ruth says there are opposites and like Ruth I've had regulars go 'Bad' I had one guy I'd been seeing for about 3 years, always pushed time boundaries a little, so started having longer bookings to allow enough time, he then asked for an overnight which I don't generally do, having known him for that long I agreed, booked the date in and he began messaging me late one evening, telling me he was looking forward to the overnight, he was planning on taking me out for a meal and a few drinks, I don't drink so said the meal would be nice but it would be soft drinks for me and I'd appreciate him having only a couple of beers.
That was not his plan, he declared he was going to get me drunk however he could to see how far I would go under the influence of alcohol and to see what he could get me to do, when he messaged the following day to say sorry he was pissed I cancelled the booking, no way was I going away with him and ive never accepted another booking, he was 6'4" ex rugby player, I was jo match for him.
Also like Ruth I find the can I have a special price as I will be a regular every week, never actually book let alone book regularly.
