I'm not sure I understand your question, but I did write a report on prostitution for a social studies class a while ago, so I'll my best to address the various points:

My question is about escorts. Is there really an 'unofficial' implication to it, and if so, why are there still so many women getting busted for curbside prostitution? Why don't they just advertise themselves as escorts, or is it that the real majority of escorts have a "platonic" evening?
I'm just wondering what the catch is because I see tons of advertisements for it, a supposed loophole around the law from it, and yet a lot of people getting into trouble for mixing money with sex in a less discreet way.

There is no such thing as a platonic escort. Escort = prostitute. Plenty of people get in trouble for escorting, too...there isn't a loophole, they are just playing the odds, and being careful. The cops know what escorting is, but can't bust them unless the explicitly offer money for sex, either over the phone or in person.

Oh, and then I also know of a ton of lonely guys who complain about inactivity. If it's there, why isn't it bigger than it is, or am I missing something? Is it more risky than anyone cares to mention?

If you're "smart" about it, I've heard that there is more risk from significant others than law enforcement. The girls are taking much more of a risk than the clients.

I don't see the FBI taking down the millions of printed and Internet ads but at the same time I still see movies like "40 Year Old Virgin" and "Roadtrip," as if the industry either doesn't exist, or is only for those willing to risk huge legal ramifications just for inquiring, so none of it makes sense.

Why would the FBI care about small time prostitution operations? That's the job for local vice squads, who, from what I have read, seem to enforce the law with varying degrees of vigor depending mostly on whether an elected official is trying to get re-elected or not. "Escorting" doesn't get reported to the police like street walking does, as it is not an eyesore, and doesn't involve anyone but the prostitute and client, so who is going to report it?
My advice to you, and my answer to your implied question? Stay away from the Erotic Services section of craigslist until you have a little more experience and can make an informed decision, or risk permanently destroying any hope you have of having a healthy relationship with your sexuality.
