The consensus I've gathered is that a decent amount of the clientele is made up of people in monogamous agreements. As careful as one may be, all it takes is just one notification at the wrong time, or maybe a database leak or worse a law enforcement encounter or catching something like HSV 2 to completely derail significant parts of your life.

Obviously, you're likely being as careful as possible, but it only takes one fuck up. Maybe your partner will be more forgiving because there were no feelings or maybe they'll feel worse if they are anti companionship.

I myself wrestle with this question and usually conclude that it's disingenuous and not worth it, so it's not from a place of judgement.

Just unfortunately had a negative interaction with a well reviewed provider. They seemed to be very strict about instructions, so I made sure to read their content over and over, called instead of text as it said they preferred that, gave them my ETA with a 5min buffer etc.

​

After arriving at the location, I informed her and she messaged me quite annoyed that I failed to read one of their core rules: do not use an app number. I was flabbergasted and informed her that it's not there. She replied with a screenshot of one of her pictures that does in fact have "no app numbers".

​

My guess is most people fail to read the paragraphs with all of the instructions, so she felt it was more effective to have the most important ones in the pictures section as bullet points instead. As someone who was already familiar with her online content, I didn't bother looking at all the pictures.

​

We ended up not seeing each other, but she said she would blacklist my number, which is not good news.

​

For context, I started exclusively using a separate number due to two previous incidences of unexpected contact. But, I do adhere to any verification requirements and would not make a fuss or try to convince anyone to make exceptions for me.

​

Anyway, I just wanted to hear from other people in the industry as I'm struggling to accept the responsibility here.
