Every guy I have ever dated has seen my job, as I have come to realise, as an excuse to use me for money, to keep me as a dirty secret (whilst pretending to care more for me) and to be able to sleep around and rub my nose in it. On top of which, whenever I've got involved with a guy its always dented my confidence with work because many of them have put down my appearance and made me feel not good enough and told me they didn't believe I would be able to make that much money doing what I do (even though I've always done well and had good reviews, lots of return clients etc). I've given up on love and serious relationships a few years back but thought I'd be able to casual date but that didn't work either, one user got his claws into me through emotional manipulation, which I've never been very good at detecting until it clicks in.
I've decided not only to not have boyfriends but not to even do it for free casually. It never feels worth it. Sex work is a nice, clean simple way of getting my sexual needs met (whilst earning a comfy living) without becoming vulnerable to those who'd happily take advantage.
