I'm of the opinion that sex and politics generally should be kept as far away from each other as possible, but I'm also finding that politics keeps making its way more and more into aspects of everyday life where it wasn't so prevalent before. There are people, SPs and members, who are fairly vocal about their political leanings. My question is whether the way someone presents their politics or whether their political leanings affect whether someone will book an SP or whether an SP will refuse a client.
Please, people, I do not want to turn this thread into an argument about aspects of today's politics. That's what the politics section is for and I don't want this to turn into a hot mess of shouting and finger pointing. I'm referring only to whether it affects booking practices or not. Do any of you take this into account when booking or taking bookings and does it affect whether you will see someone or not?
I just go by the 3 monkeys rule and try to ignore politics altogether within the industry, never bringing it up, but I have to admit that is it does come up in an "in my face" kind of way then it can negatively affect my choices. If I'm aware of it I avoid extremists at either end of the spectrum. I have a deep interest in politics but honestly would rather know nothing about the political leanings of the people I see outside of my circle of "friends" and never want to discuss politics in session.
