I feel very sad for you, and those who think like you and believe that being a professional prohibits emotional involvement in the relationship. It only shows what you, personally, have not experienced.
I didn't say that. I said: I 'have felt these types of emotions towards both male and female Ts.' Emotions are all that matter, that's why we're there in the first place! But it seems that the relationship itself is what is causing the problems.

You are one of the lucky ones, what about all of the people who get 'dumped' by their t's by text, email, phone etc.
As I said above: if they were not being paid they would not be there. I still maintain that this is the case in the vast majority of cases! A t. is like a teacher. Some good, some bad. Some care, some don't. Some are in it for the money, some are in it to help. But all of them get VERY well paid at the end of the week!
