My wife has a very specific career that makes it difficult for her to take that kind of risk in real life, but much easier to control when playing online, over the phone, Etc.
And adding to that, I've met enough people in very sensitive positions that this lifestyle would definitely compromise their career, but didn't stop them from fulfilling their fantasies: teachers, nannies, dept. directors, HR managers, local politicians (not locally HERE, but still), attorneys, etc.. two of the most prominent women I had the pleasure of meeting (and still talk to this day) - one was a main speaker at an energy conference in downtown Austin. The other is the director of her corporate sales team. Both travel a lot and find their way to my fair city
I don't think that Life should be an impediment to the Lifestyle, and visa versa. There are ways to make things happen
