That's true.
However, I find that most MPAs assume that all guys who see them are the type who would cheat on their SOs with industry ladies. Speaking as someone who has never done that, and have gone on several hiatuses from the industry while dating civilians, I DO find it somewhat offputting how nonchalantly it's thrown out there by MPAs is if it wasn't morally repugnant. I understand it's safer for them to do so so as not to offend, but I also think many of them don't think twice about the potential harm their client is doing to a third party. That said, let me stress that all responsibility for that harm IS on the client, not the MPA.
After a session last week I got into a discussion with an MPA about her love triangle situation. She has two SO's outside the biz, one of them married, one who doesn't know about her job, and both who didn't know about each other until recently. She didn't seem at all ashamed about knowingly dating a married man, nor of keeping them ignorant of one another. I sure as hell wasn't about to state a moral objection during a session! But it does make me wonder at her mindset. She was livid that the non-married guy has basically written her out of his life after finding out about the other guy, as if she can't understand his objections.
