The support system isn't referring to a program in particular. But if anyone knows anyone who is in need of one please reach out to me as I am continually advocating for these on the east coast and have opened an outreach program a few years ago. If there is anyone who feels that they need this access please Pm me.
The support system can be anything: a tight knit group of people to confide in, the powder room forum on this site, or simply a good loving family.
It is important to note that the reference to European vs non European decendants is primarily in the subject matter because the survey took place in Zurich.
They have no knowledge of providers in the US. These results are only based on legal sex work- so there can be no comparison made to American sex workers. The results could only be configured from legal work.
If an article that cites U.S escorting pops up- please let us all know and we can revisit this topic with proper citations ready.
MLA format please. Hahaha

Here is the thing read the article and choose for yourself. I know what I read and I know what it means, I also am familiar with what "social support" means. It means social or public not as close know set of friends. I am glad you found it and posted it.

Social Support
The term "social support" often appears in discussions of relationships. Social support means having friends and other people, including family, to turn to in times of need or crisis to give you a broader focus and positive self-image. Social support enhances quality of life and provides a buffer against adverse life events.
Social support can take different forms:
Emotional (sometimes called non-tangible) support refers to the actions people take to make someone else feel cared for.
Instrumental support refers to the physical, such as money and housekeeping.
Informational support means providing information to help someone.
One of the earliest studies on the physical and psychological health benefits of social support was in 1905. Dr. Joseph Pratt, an internist from Boston, gathered a group of tuberculosis patients together to educate them about hygiene in relation to their illness. This "support group" provided early evidence of the power of psychological support in physical health and healing.
How can I benefit?
Learn more about social networks Social support, whether from a trusted group or valued individual, has been shown to reduce the psychological and physiological consequences of stress, and may enhance immune function. Social networks, whether formal (such as a church or social club) or informal (meeting with friends) provide a sense of belonging, security, and community.
In fact, social support is now proven to be a literal life-saver. People that are supported by close relationships with friends, family, or fellow members of church, work, or other support groups are less vulnerable to ill health and premature death. Individuals afflicted with leukemia or heart disease have higher survival rates if they have extensive social support. There is also a strong tie between social support and measures of wellbeing. Those who have close personal relationships cope better with various stressors, including bereavement, job loss, rape, and illness (See Salovey, 2000).
Are there any cautions?
With any social support network, make sure you feel comfortable with the group's beliefs, practices, and expectations. While it's unrealistic to think you'll never experience any disagreement with your friends, family, or other social support network, remember that spending time with them should make you feel accepted, peaceful, and energized, not coerced or anxious.

Don’t you just love it when a man can’t admit when he’s wrong? All of these gorgeous, intelligent women pointing out fact after fact, and this dude just keeps sticking to his lame ass story.
I especially love the fact that a man with an account on a hooker board, who pays for sex, is trying to slut-shame women. We all know that if the roles were reversed, and the guys were providers who could keep their dicks hard all goddam day *and* get paid for it, why hell, they’d never sleep, lol. They’d be the highest of the high volume. There would be competitions every day/month/week/year for most clients seen, with awards given out and everything.

Thing is ALL hookers are high volume. If you truly see only 3 or 4 a month and only regulars you are still fucking more men than most civilian ladies, still high volume. Originally Posted by gentlemantoo
If you're gonna simply compare escorts to civies then, yes, they can all be considered high volume. But for purposes of hobbying we probably shouldn't make that comparison. We're talking hobby sex here, not civie sex. Within the context of hobbying we should be able to make a distinction between a gal seeing 3 or 4 guys a week and someone seeing two dozen. Simply saying they're all high volume doesn't help.
Being that we're hobbyist here we should be comparing escorts to escorts, not escorts to civies.

For myself, it never even crosses my mind as to whether a lady is high volume or only one client a week. I could care less, mainly due to research and the gut instinct I have from experience. I'm pretty selective about who I choose to spend my time with, because I can be selective. I seldom have a wild hair moment and need to schedule something on short notice. The most important thing is how the lady interacts with ME, not the client that morning, later that night or last week. We are all here for some reason or another, I'm in no better position to judge or form any opinion of anyone that is here for their own personal reasons. I'm actually glad I'm a part of this community, I could be in a whole lot worse shape when looking out at some of the other communities and comparing them. Just my thoughts. dj8

Escorts need to get fucked, or they're not doing their job.
Keep up the good work!

I usually avoid reading any thread where there are posts by "gentleman with an IQ of 2" and "yitzchat the yuck". But I foolishly got drawn into this one.
