Anyone have any others they'd like to add for a safe and enjoyable hobby life?

As far as language over electronic communication with clients, I take their lead. Some prefer to engage in mutual banter before, after and in between sessions. Some even enjoy the occasional casual meet up outside of session time. Yes, both are something I am happy and willing to do with the right types of clients, because I, like many in this hobby, actually prefer to have some rapport with the people I engage with. Doesn't mean we have to be best friends or bf/gf, but it can still be nice to extend the interaction beyond session time.
I have quite a few people I correspond with on a regular basis. However, I wouldn't do it if I knew it wasn't something the client was ok with beforehand. As said, I take their lead.
As far as telling no one, I am sure we all have at least a few trusted rw confidants we can confide in.
I would say to just be respectful and treat everyone the way you would like to be treated.
Providers, never contact clients via means that you don't already know are 100% ok with said client, and clients do the same in turn for providers.
Asking rw questions of each other, etc; again, I take their lead on this. I tread lightly and would never ask a client for any bit of rw info they don't offer up freely. Some do and like to share things about their lives, some do not.
Again, I would say the same goes of clients. I have been asked many times in the past, some pretty intrusive questions by clients. If I don't offer up the info freely, then don't ask.
Providers, also don't get upset when your client sees another lady and text/message him back things like, "Why don't you want to come see me again?" Guess what? He probably would have again, but saying something like that is pretty much the best way to guarantee he definitely won't now.
Any other rules of discretion are up to each individual. We are all coming from different backgrounds and life situations so what may be ok for one, could not be for another, in terms of how they conduct their hobby life.
I would say the basic rule of thumb is to not do anything that could impede on each other's rw lives.
