I see clients & so-called #submissives as an extension of Me. If I approve them, they reflect My brand of who I am & My ethos.

I find it interesting when subs display bad behaviour &/or entitlement & I hear about who they regularly session with. It's really telling...

Would be interested to try "couples" adult toys. But don't want to ask my reg in case they don't have any. (They don't need another expense, and I don't own any.)

Teary-eyed suddenly thinking of how fortunate I am and the wonderful people I've met this year.

"What is a compliment you need to hear?"

Anything that's true & earned.

Stepped on the scales. 98.4kg. And I even ate chips overnight! Maybe the prednisolone really did cause weight gain, and it wasn't just my fault? (A little from column A, a little from column B...) Whatever - I'll happily accept whatever's going on. Well done, me.

Am reading the chapter wherein the br0th closes for COVID lockdown at midnight.

No wonder content became a big thing - there had to be something to replace in-person work. Yet content is no substitute for the human touch - it's something different in & of itself.

Yet while

Which reminds me of the memes that a SWer meme account posted. Where the two femme providers are so into it with each other that they ignore the client. And I thought, "This is the kind of meme that might put prople off booking doubles for this very reason - the fear of being

Back to reading Tilly Lawless's Nothing But My Body:

Plus I learned something about sweat, time, and money. So I'm feeling accomplished.
November 26, 2025 at 2:38 AM
I think I've turned a little corner for now.

In recent weeks I've got upset - knowing I'll have to spend less in 2026, and agonising over what to do about the "I crave compliments" (I'm not calling it a praise k!nk) situation.

But this week I've made decisions & taken action regarding those.
November 26, 2025 at 2:35 AM
Unfortunately, I think my reg forgot about my "compliments at the end so I leave with a swing in my step" request. 🤷‍♀️ Their body reactions are compliment enough, I guess - I do enjoy those.
November 26, 2025 at 1:50 AM
My reg & I are on the same wavelength re: sweat. They usually stretch out the booking to 90 minutes, but it must've been too sweaty today, so they stopped at 60 minutes. 1st thought upon realising no PIV was, "Is this some kind of Dom thing?" 😆

Saves money, though. 👍
November 26, 2025 at 1:40 AM
Swallowed my pride, and texted a request for compliments. Ugh, so embarrassing. But I've sent it, it's done, and I can regret that in the daytime when my brain isn't so sleep-deprived.
November 25, 2025 at 3:19 PM
And since I booked a lot of new people this year, I'll book fewer new people next year. Which should be easy, unless Melbourne / Naarm gets an influx of people from elsewhere.
November 25, 2025 at 3:11 PM
Maybe I won't gift anything (or at least not big things like event tickets) unless they specifically ask. And even then, depending on ticket prices, I might put the money towards an extra booking instead of outright gifting. So I'd get something in return. So it'd be work payment instead of a gift.
November 25, 2025 at 3:04 PM
I'm not lessening my bookings (yet), because they do so much for my overall wellbeing.

But I can reduce spending adjacently by gifting less in 2026.

I paid for tickets to industry events so people could be among their own.

I gifted some grocery snacks, but those weren't often or pricey.
November 25, 2025 at 2:54 PM
Realised I must cut down my spending in 2026.

I've proven to myself that I don't need a bedtime snack every night - just whenever I need to get one library book finished before it's due date. (Otherwise I'll just use both hands on my phone online.) 👍

I've stopped checking Depop & eBay daily. 👍

ngl.link/tezmilleroz I may answer on Bsky, or on Instagram Stories (TezMillerOz), so I recommend checking in on both my platforms.

I've neglected reading Bsky posts (still reading whatever gets @ 'd to me) for days now. Just keep running out of time. Sorry, y'all. SWers, if you have Instagram, I keep updated on that.
November 25, 2025 at 1:59 PM
That a provider (Elora) suggests what should be expected of providers... Maybe I should raise my expectations; demand more?

I may be unusual. The cringe I feel from seeing people describe themselves as types of "healers". Knowing before I started clienting that I was an outlier,

And for someone with chronic mental illness, "powering through" might sometimes provide a distraction from one's own suffering. (Sometimes, but not always. I write from my own experience with depression here. As long as I'm not crying, I can generally go OK.)

To say that "ethical intimacy" is "accepting fewer bookings, not more"? I don't know if it's that simple, not when cost-of-living is striking people so hard. For those under serious financial pressure, declining or postponing a booking might result in being short on what a person needs to *survive*.
