I found that having friends who know is only a relief/helpful when those friends are clients or have escort experience.  There will always be those you feel you can't tell, and the few you do tell can't really get it without their own context/experience and frankly, after the initial shock maybe, aren't particularly interested.  Make friends with escorts and with clients if you want confidants. 

You may see someone reliably, ie once or twice a year when you visit his city, but for shorthand lets tag regulars as once a month or more.
Reliables are good too!
