Yes and it's good you and Stacy have shared your experiences that actually this kind of situation instead lead to sentiment of guiltiness or fear instead of an golden opportunity.
Us SP rely on regular and repeat clients during difficult times, particularly those of us who don't have a civ job. In order to keep clients, we have to offer the service we promised to offer. A lot of people don't understand this because they are more interested in seeing new SP all the time rather than experienced companions who have an established presence, which is understandable because a lot of people are interested in novelty when seeking this service which isn't a bad thing. (again, I am not shaming anybody..)
Reality is that most of us are not looking for any opportunity to "avoid working".. on the contrary, I've had multiple SP confide in me that they have done things they didn't want to under pressure or went out with their clients or given a lot of extra time out of fear of losing the client because we do look at this forum and what is being said here.
