I agree. My daughter has had big lnfluence on some of her friends. My wife is not as open as our daughter but has encouraged some of her close friends.

I think friends would be better for enticing or introducing each other to join the lifestyle. Typically conversations are more relaxed, and open, among friend groups for any topics that may be considered “controversial”. Mothers may have some influence over daughters but the girls friends would probably have more influence, especially if they themselves are in the lifestyle.
