It is not a false equivalency. This hobby of ours is predicated on discretion for both parties. That principle doesn't end simply because one retires from the hobby. How much or how little you reveal to a significant other is always up to you. The fact that a woman is a former provider doesn't change that prerogative. It is however, a bit of a double standard for any guy to believe it is acceptable to keep his participation in this hobby to himself, while believing that a woman who chooses to do the same is "messed up".

We all have your dirty little secrets that we choose not to share with others, even those who have never participated in this hobby.Sure, but there's a difference between getting an angry dragon on prom night and being a professional jizz guzzler. Not that you are, but there are people here that are...
The fillip to this hypothetical of course, is that secrets have a way of coming out eventually. If a woman chooses to keep her former career to herself, she runs the risk of losing the relationship when or if the secret comes to light. Again though, its her prerogative to decide whether to run that risk or not.Which is a wordy way of saying, "honesty is the best policy." It's pretty hard to argue against that. Especially when one is concerned about the outcome.
