Presumably part of his success at selling his coaching to men is based on his own success with women- if he has a string of angry lovers after him spreading rumors, or had to refrain from sex for awhile because of an infection, I'm sure it wouldn't help his business. Plus if he's genuine in what he's selling, being anything less than careful and responsible would be acting incongruently with his message of respectfully honestly healthily enjoying many sex partners. |
Both Jaamkie's and your own observations are correct and insightful!
While I am not formally a 'sex worker', my Primary partner, Violet (photos beneath) with whom I share a home, (and who routinely joins me on speaking tours, addressing the audience and providing invaluable female insights) is a professional mainstream Porn Star.

(I have performed in front of the camera, and still might occasionally, but that's most-frequently as a favor to the director, or by request of the female Talent; I've never considered myself a
professional sex worker, despite being paid for
ad hoc scenes)
Jaamkie is also correct in that my congruency requires both sexual and social maturity, and that any failure to act responsibly would undermine completely my message.

Completely understood, and acknowledged!
I appreciate your ability to get past your initial distaste and continue through the material - I imagine I must lose some of my audience unintentionally because of my cavalier honesty. (When I release an edited-for-mass-market version, I will drop such references!)
My near 20 year long professional career as a management consultant, frequently in the Adult Entertainment arena, has brought into sharp relief the hallmark of that industry:
Different Strokes for Different Folks!
You can't fake a fetish - and you generally can't suppress one either - so coming to comfort with your own kinks is critical to personal satisfaction.
