It is hard for us as Human Beings to know why we do anything.
The answers may seem to be obvious but the real reasons are always more complex, and subliminal.
My own reason for visiting my first escort was a mixture of curiosity (curiosity about escorts, not about sex), a feeling that it was “something I wanted to do”, and of course the sex.
At the time, I thought that I would just visit a few escorts and then just lose interest!
Of course, it becomes addictive and as time passes my reasons have changed.
I thought that it was only a matter of time until the powers that be shut the entire thing down. In that case, it was “eat, drink and be merry, [and have time and companionship
] because tomorrow it won’t be here. Paradoxically, I think, the powers that be’s attempt to shut it all down has had the opposite effect. It is not only “enjoy before it goes” but the “forbidden fruit” aspect as well.
It does help keep me away from awkward relationships, like the girl in the pub who has a bit of a liking for me but who is a bit psychologically toxic to be in a relationship with.
It is an opportunity to meet a lot of people I would not meet in my everyday life. I am tempted to add, humorously, “and have sex with them”! but it is about more than the sex.
Paradoxically, in this society where sex is seen as a sin, there is still social pressure to have an active sex life. I think I often have sex just because it is the thing to do, even though no-one knows about it.
But, for me, I think the underlying reason for visiting escorts is it is just “nice” to be in the company of a very pleasant person with a minimum of effort and inconvenience.
