This is exactly it. I know for a fact I've had clients share what they believed was "real info" about me and I've received many suspicious friend requests on my personal social media. There's nothing that's going to convince me to offer BBFs or have free sex with clients.I think this is a big part of it. another part of it I think is that some clients think of a session with an SP as some kind of conquest over another person, a feather in their cap or a scalp collected, and they get an ego boost out of certain details (attendance at some prestigious university, coming from a privileged background, career in biotech, etc) that inflate the value/allure of the SP (their prize or trophy) in their mind, so they dig around/stalk for it. other clients, particularly newer ones to the industry, may want to learn more about who it is they just had sex with because maybe it feels unnatural to them to have sex with a total stranger (doesn't make stalking any more okay). and then there are the particularly repugnant stalkers who try to dig up stuff with which to blackmail SPs into receiving free sex.
And I don't think it's client bashing to share things that are upsetting about our lives as SP's, not all clients do mean things like this, most of my clients are really respectful and the ones who aren't usually are the ones who don't book or who saw me when I had much lower rates and was clearly not in a good place mentally.
I think if you want to know things about your SP in order to connect with them more, ask them questions about things that aren't compromising.. Like what their interests are, what movies and music they like, what their hobbies are, etc etc. Asking for real name, dates of birth and details about other SP's lives isn's appropriate..
