Rajesh Sir,

I completely agree with you.
In fact, even I think that privacy can be an issue when one is with an escort.

It is for this reason that I always try to ensure that my friends
don't feel like they're being constantly scrutinized by an outsider.
Once, when a very good sighted friend of mine had called me for his
birthday party, I asked my sighted guide to drop me to the place where
I and my friends were going to meet.
I told him that I would call him after the party and asked him to wait
in the car till then.

On another occasion, when me and my friends went for a movie, I asked
my sighted guide to drop me to my seat and to go and sit at a
different place.

Am I doing enough?
Is there anything else that you can suggest to deal with this issue of privacy?

BTW, which are the other requirements of your theory about
desirability of escorts? :)
