“Respect Isn’t a Line You Say — It’s Something You Show”
Share
When a client opens with “I want to be respectful,” I’ve learned not to take that at face value, especially when drugs are involved. In my experience, those are often the bookings that spiral the fastest. What starts as a simple session can quickly turn into chaos, where boundaries are pushed, communication breaks down, and suddenly the job feels less like work and more like a mission to manage the situation.
There’s a difference between saying the right words and actually embodying them. Real respect is shown through actions, being clear, present, hygienic, and mindful of boundaries. It’s not something you need to announce; it’s something that’s felt from the moment you walk through the door.
Clients under the influence often lack that awareness. They can become unpredictable, overly demanding, or completely disconnected from reality. It puts us in an uncomfortable position where we’re no longer providing a service, we’re navigating risk.
Over time, I’ve learned to trust my instincts. If something feels off from the start, it usually is. I have respect for myself, my safety, and my peace of mind. And because of that, I choose not to entertain clients who show signs that they won’t respect my boundaries, no matter what they say.
Because at the end of the day, respect isn’t something you claim. It’s something you prove.
