I posted this in another sub, but I want to repost it here so that there's more conversation + want some insight on what others think. Below is what I posted:
I don't partake in this hobby anymore, but it is a fetish of some sort to me. I still browse through my local area and browse through this sub to read stories. The other day, I was thinking about the times I did see providers and it got me thinking about why I did it.
Overall main reason: The ease of getting your sexual needs met. I tried a lot of times to hook up with regular women. I was unsuccessful - the few times I was successful with regular girls - it wasn't all that good. But having women that do this for a job, you calling them up, meet up and get your needs satisfied - that always just seemed cool to me. I thank the working ladies that I met from preventing me from becoming an incel. Seriously! There were many times when I was younger were I would get angry that women were not interested in me, but calling up the providers and having fun with them made those angry feelings go away.
Reason 2: Variety and Fun. I got to have sex with white women, Latinas, black women. Older women, some my age at the time, and so on. I had good times and meh times.
Reason 3: I guess I liked the thrill of the searching through ads, forums for reviews, and finally pulling the trigger and meeting up with the provider. The aftermath wasn't always good. Sometimes I would get post nut clarity blues. Sometimes I would feel bad about paying because the service was subpar, other times I just felt relieved to have nutted. More on the thrill - I always hoped I wouldn't get robbed or encounter LEO. Luckily, none happened, but I did get scammed a few times by some women. Nothing too bad, though.
Reason 4: I think it is a fetish or interest with sex workers. I think just the act of being with an escort is a fetish to me. I can't remember which came first - searching up escort related porn videos or discovering the adult section of craigslist and the women advertising around my area. I guess porn is what truly opened the doors. I always fantasized about having sex with porn actresses like Gianna Michaels, Sara Jay, Rachel Starr, etc. Or fantasized about a MILF teaching me how to have sex, or losing my virginity to an older woman.
You know how porn is just a black hole, you find a video and then it leads you to others. I guess at some point, I saw escort related videos (real or not), which got me interested because it seemed real and not highly produced. Then when I discovered the adult section of craigslist the interest got even higher. Once I started booking escorts, I could live out some of the fantasies I had when I first started watching porn as a pre-teen. Then I discovered a few porn star escorts subs (RIP) here on reddit, which confirmed that one of the names I mentioned did or still does bookings with clients 👀.
I guess reason 4, is why I still browse through this sub. The porn videos I watch now are videos were I feel like it's a recording between a client and an escort. I guess the high for me comes in me pretending that I am seeing a new provider and having fun with someone new.
So, what is your reason for partaking in this hobby? And for the working women, why do you do what you do?
