Being with a provider is a "strings attached affair". Clients are paying for it. A true NSA is hooking up with someone knowing the expectations are limited to just sex. An affair on the other hand entails some sort of emotional bond between two people (something to be avoided at all costs). The reason I see provider is to be with women I'd normally not have the opportunity to have sex with. I'd actually prefer to meet a civie stranger for no strings attached sex, but where do you find those women? I don't have time to troll bars, etc. The only place I can think of would be something like Ashley Madison, but even there you have to P2P with no guarantee of scoring. So, I'm left patronizing the wonderful women of the hobby
