This might strike everyone as a strange post. I guess I’d just love to hear your perspectives.
Long before I started hiring - and was probably horrified by the concept of hiring - I went to Rio. I had a few one night stands with some gorgeous guys who couldn’t speak English, but we had fun anyway. Then I met a guy who I remember hung out with me for a few days. He stayed over at my hotel and we went sight seeing and shopping together. Unlike the other guys we maybe had sex once or not even at all. He was really cute and sweet and I remember finding it romantic, but a bit odd too. I guess it came time for me to leave and we parted ways.
In retrospect I wonder - was this guy a provider and I just didn’t realise it? Was he expecting some kind of payment that never came from me? I don’t think I was robbed by him or anything like that. But looking back, was I just incredibly naive? I guess I’ll never know but it’s curious to think about.
