I've been thinking about this. Very sad after all this time we’re blinded to the benefits of this industry. It's because of the laws that the screening burden increases.
The moral high ground is being held by politicians, politicians who are in many cases jealous women and wives who see companions as a personal threat, and men and husbands who are only voting no because their wives are watching, white-knuckling through the vote and clearing their browser history the moment they get home. SMH.
They make laws to eliminate one of the world's oldest professions, claiming the moral high ground, putting an end to trafficking and exploitation, protecting women. Giving themselves pats on the back and congratulations on the clarity of it all. All while making the very thing they're trying to prevent worse and unnecessarily more dangerous. Denying a basic human need doesn't make it disappear, it just manifests in likely more violent ways. Good grief.
The oldest of human desires, connection, touch, intimacy, they don't go away because of a law. As a result screening becomes more stringent, companions have less protection and fewer avenues for recourse. It becomes much more important to know who is coming through the door. THE LAWS MADE THE COMPANION HER OWN LAST LINE OF DEFENCE, RESPONSIBLE FORHER OWN SURVIVAL.
There is little talk of the good. I was depressed for years. Clinical settings didn't do it for me. Medication, talking about feelings, no dice. Then one day, from this very site, BAM! Now we're talking gym, diet, reading, appearance, and not to be outdone, fewer vices. This "hobbyist" one replaces those ones, and I think that's a good thing. Been giving myself, you know, all of the positive self care routine. Now that is making a positive change on health care costs for society as a whole, by leaps and bounds.
Too bad they wouldn't look at it in terms of societal benefits. I'm proof, and I'm sure there are millions of others. People should be able to charge this shit to Blue Cross and Sun Life for crying out loud. They could look at it in terms of tax revenue, it's a big industry. They did it with cannabis. It would create well paying jobs, though I believe there are very few people who can successfully pull this off, given the emotional intelligence required to be successful. Well spoken, well educated, professional. Able to compartmentalize two lives, deal with clients, uphold boundaries without stepping on toes, very talented human beings. Very pretty.
So yeah, all that rambling, I think the laws cause the screening. Please continue to screen, it's reprehensible for people to want to partake anonymously. Shame on those with the inability to put themselves in the shoes of another. 200 plus ponders coming to see hundred and nothing pound angels….anonymously wtf.
If you are short on time, apologies if you read this. If you're a companion you will not be compensated for your time reading this, you embarked on this read yourself. I'm bored apparently, but if you're reading this, I am not alone.
