This rings true to me. I was wondering recently about how sex work must change SP's mindsets (or they were different originally). Most people can't bear to think of certain classes of people having any sexuality. Old people, handicapped people, that mild-mannered librarian, to envision them having sex is a bizarre and disturbing vision. But SPs, by nature of their jobs, see these people show their desire in their most intimate moments, and must recognize their sexuality and probably see them in a different way.
But to the original question: I do occasionally get called handsome, by SPs and civilians. I've also gotten, "hm, not bad" by a very hot SP when I was at my training peak. Clearly, these remarks make an impression on me because I remember them. But I try not to let it affect me too much. I also know that my online dating profiles get very little uptake, so that keeps me humble, and is probably a better measure of how appealing I am to a general audience.
