But back to the topic at hand: Eric is exactly right about the “regularization” process, at least as it applies to me. I sort of woke up one morning and realized that I’d been seeing the same guy every 2 or 3 weeks for the past 6 months, and that, without planning it, or discussing it with my provider, I had become a “regular.” In some ways I feel like I’ve been (and am being) groomed for the role. Usually it’s my provider who gets in touch, asks me how I am, sends me a couple of jaw-dropping photos, and the next step is an appointment in our favorite seedy motel. My experience with escorts is limited, but this strikes me as a slightly unusual business model. Of course, I’m sure my guy appreciates the steady income; and for my part, it turns me on when he takes the initiative—so I am more than willing to be groomed!
