IMHO
Pimp = Provider coerced, intimidated or somehow forced into being a provider. The woman is working for the pimp who will use her up and throw her away when its no longer to his/her advantage to use her any longer. Fits into the category of trafficking.
Manager = Provider decides she can't do all of the overhead required to meet the appointments made or just prefer somebody else to do research and the up front business. In this case the provider HIRES a manager to take care of the business end for a fee. The provider is in the lead role of deciding when/if to terminate the business relationship.
I don't have a problem seeing a provider that has a manager or agency (that fills the same role); however, I will NOT see a provider if I suspect she's being pimped. Phil

Mrs. M is saying much the same.
As for providers that have SOs that knowingly permit/allow/condone the lady's activities - I would really rather not know or be told. If I know there is an employable male living off the fee I have paid, then I get pissed off as I think about it. Just my thoughts.
There are, will, and have been providers with SOs and truthfully, why should they not have someone that can provide emotional support, family type activities, etc? I just do not want to know that the SO is benefiting from my paying for what he gets for free. I realize that this is MY hangup, but it is also my money. I would rather not know.
Dez has an SO? That fact had zero influence on my enjoying my time with her before I knew, and the session was good enough for a repeat, so I will choose to forget she has one when booking my future session.
Advice for other providers - it may make better business sense to refrain from sharing information about boyfriends/SOs. You cannot control what the hobbyist thinks about the situation so by making it common knowledge that you have a 'Boo' could have negative effects on your business.
