		<description>Thanks for reading, Alexa!

*lol!* Looks like Gillette has initiated quite a few of us ;)

Respecting the client&#039;s confidentiality is very important. I would never share details of a client or an encounter with them without their permission. I feel that respects my professional confidentiality as a companion.

If a client isn&#039;t in a monogamous relationship (single, polyamorous, special arrangement for sex workers or any other situation) then the condition doesn&#039;t apply. I thought a lot about the situation, because many will probably see it as a mark against contracting me. But ultimately because I wouldn&#039;t see anyone outside of work who was in a monogamous relationship whose partner would consider it cheating, I couldn&#039;t do it in the workplace without compromising my beliefs. It may not make a difference to the client, but I&#039;ll bet it would make a difference to the person whom they&#039;ve told they are committed to.</description>

		<description>It is nice that you evaluated your strengths and channeled your work persona such that you could make the best use of them.  I think that it is important for anyone in this work to do exactly that.  I, too, used Gillette&#039;s words of wisdom before taking on this role.  ;-)

It is interesting that you only see clients who would tell someone else that they&#039;re seeing you, since the basic nature of this line of work is confidentiality on both sides of the equation.</description>
