At the time, I gave other stuff up that was important to me and I regret it sorely now. But being a service provider has opened doors into my psyche, sexuality and strengths I never knew I had and I know my life has become enriched for the experience. No occupation has fulfilled me in quite the same way. Give it up now if asked? Absolutely not. It is an occupation that is as much a part of me as the colour of my eyes or my freckles. Comes with the territory! And it's important to me that any SO would understand and accept that. If not, then it just isn't going to work for me (or him/her, either).
