I guess its kind of old news, but i am just used to reading about these topics when they are one sided and chastising the industry while discussing unrealistic solutions to what is portrayed as being such a huuuuge problem. Anyway, thought i'd share. Originally Posted by Allfax

My personal safety is important, and the safety of those I see is also important. It is recognized that a few strange individuals "get their kicks" from hurting others. Why else do some of the girls think they need protection to be able to see a client. Why are some of the guys taking so much time to check out a girl to be sure she isn't going to rob him, or worse?

Do your homework guys. Once you find a girl to spend time with; be nice to her. I have found that being nice is appreciated. You can just walk away from a girl who gives you the wrong premonitions. You should be able to listen to your intuition if you use your big head and not with the little.

I admit that I use the hobby for my own selfish reasons. But I am still a father, and a grandfather. I wish to avoid those who would hurt children.

I believe that there is a break in the logic of those who wish to connect child abuse with the connection of consulting adults. To link these two things is irrational and judgmental.

Let us have an acceptable line of reasoning while understanding that, for each of us, there are absolutes in our lives,
