Is escorting like AA?

[splendidpup]

A friend of mine who attended way too many twelve-step programs told me that he often sees fellow meeting-goers out socially, but that he isn't allowed to acknowledge knowing them in order to preserve the anonymous nature of the program. Is there a similar dynamic in effect regarding escorts? I ask because twice in the past few weeks I have run into fellow working guys outside any sort of escorting arena. The first, at a party, made a big show of introducing himself, presumably so that his friends wouldn't ask questions as to how we knew each other. The second, at a bar, came over to my friends and I and was pretty open about how we had become acquainted. My friends knew that I do this, but I don't know how I would have stopped him had I been with anyone who didn't know.

 

Thoughts?

Duh, I just noticed that Scott has a similar posting from a somewhat different perspective.

LOL. Surprised we haven't crossed paths in LA .... or have we?

 

Well my post was talking about me being with a client at dinner and running into friends who have NO idea. Most of the time I like to have a story in my file ready to go depending on the situation. For example, when asked last night I explained it was a friend of my parents that I was showing around LA.

 

When going out I think it's nobody's job but their own to discuss their occupations. I always use the standby, "we met at the Abbey." If by some chance my friend I'm with who doesn't know about me but somehow knows that the other friend is an escort I use my term papers -- which I can always easily produce -- and claim I know them through research.

 

The point is to always be discreet, no need to broadcast the sex for money aspect about anyone's life. As enlightened as some can be that there is really an unnecessary stigma attached to it, generalized social thinking hasn't evolved as much.

 

I liked the subject because I thought the AA reference was going to be about escorts who say they're quitting but just can't. I know I've stopped for a bit but for some reason just can't. I really do enjoy it too much and have way too much fun to give it up ... for now.

Yeah there is a bit of an AA social rules that apply when seeing other guys out in public. All me buds know what I do, so my policy is if I see someone out in public I will give them the oportunity to say hi to me. Other wise I will just be polite and act as if we have not met before. One BIG NO NO is to say hi to a fellow escort when he is with a client. When I'm out in public with a client I will ignore other guys.
