The Business Model for this industry has evolved over time.
No longer does a "Madam" find and develop and distribute new talent.
Providers are independent business women, developing their own individual reputations, marketing and clientele.
This evolution is all to the good.
However, the task of developing fresh talent then falls to the dedicated hobbyists that seek, find and encourage that talent.
Currently BP (as uncertain as it is, for both parties) seems to be the information exchange used as the gateway into the industry.
IMHO, the "mentoring" of new providers into safer environments, more secure information exchange, and more in-depth knowledge of the industry should ideally be administered by other intelligent, experienced providers.
The risk, gamble, or "adventure" is not something positive for a hobbyist.
Certainly can't even be called "The Chase".
But until such time when providers are willing to "mentor" new talent, that burden will continue to fall to the hobbyist.

But as far as "the burden falling on the hobbiest" to mentor...sorry, that not only sounds self-serving, but just plain dumb.
Of course if a lady I visit asks for my opinion, I'll give it...but mentoring sounds way too pimpish to me.
Plus the inexperience/young ones really need to rely on the ladies for tips...no matter how experience the guy is, we are really clueless to all the behind the scenes business and safety issues the ladies need to be aware of. So let's not be clueless Cap-Sav-hoe and act like we are ready to guide them thru this stuff. It can only lead to giving out bad advice to the lady, and all the way to getting someone's jaw broken
Amazing how some people never learn from past mistakes. I think it is called, leading with one's chin.
Plus I would guess the vast majority of the experienced, well-grounded hobbiest are simply here to have fun...if you want to "mentor" go get a part time teaching position at Keller Grad School, or try "mentoring" to your high school daughter why she can't have the keys to the car this weekend, for gosh sakes
