This question perhaps have several angles which I am sure will be explored over the next few days.

This question for me relates to the skill of any person in any occupation.

A professional escort who provides the escape, companionship and illusion of a perfect lover, has a true skill and vocation. Should this not be respected and rewarded?

I have often read reviews where the reviewer has indicated that the escort is quite unattractive. I have in turn visited these escorts and found them quite beautiful.
It may be that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or is it just that some reviewers do not get what they want and therefore cloud their judgement and therefore view on the ladies looks? Perhaps they may even want to get their own back on this escort?

My question was 'do we truly respect escorts - or is it a quick fuck?'

If we respect our escorts we should always know the limits and never be afraid to remind the escort or ourselves of these limits. Never be afraid to ask the escort if we are causing discomfort or pain, whether by sqeezing her nipple too hard or otherwise. I would like to think the majority of us would be turned off if we found we were hurting our lover so why not an escort!

Regarding beauty,perhaps we should look in the mirror before we make such judgements.
I for one have been so very lucky that all the ladies I have visited over the past two years have either been beautiful if not gorgeous.
Even if they were plain, just think of the pleasure they give us.
Where else could we ever experience such beauty and pleasure at such a modest cost?

Remember this is after all illusion and for me these ladies are providing it in abundance.

Do I pay them for their time and companionship? Yes.
Do I thank them - every time my heart beats.

Some may think I am a pussy for saying this, but I think it has to be said.
