Most service providers such as your hairdresser will not have the same level of life changing information about your private life as the prostitute, and for that reason the personal information you share needs a different level of safe keeping. It doesn't even need to be blackmail, having the knowledge can lead to indiscretion and revelation.
Everyone has their own boundaries, but it surprises how exposed some guys leave themselves.

We can discuss our lives without being too specific. The thread was about being friendly without being friends. I have no prossie friends, but am friendly with many. Not that I have a hairdresser, but if I did I would possibly discuss specifics of my family and job with them and where I live, but not with a WG. In fact if I go for an incall at a WGs house I already have far more information on them than they will ever have on me.
Personallyfor me it's always punting phone, punting email, never giving my full name, not giving place of work or the exact location of where I live or parking my car where it can be seen. If she chooses to show me a photo of her kids, that's up to her, and in any case what can I do with a photo glanced at on a mobile, even if I were sick enough to want to do so?
I know that the TYE episode has reminded us of the importance of keeping personal info safe, and I have more reason than most to recognise this, having been one of her targets, but the fact that she could do no more than send me an initial threatening email was because there is no more information out there. (OK, as a precaution I did email all the WG I had reviewed recently pretty pronto to ensure they knew what was happening if TYE contacted them for any info, other than the obvious physical information - including average dick size, I don't think there was much they could have given to identify me anyway.)
Anyone who has booked a WG for an outcall to their own home has already shared too much information in my opinion.
