I had a ~6 month stretch where I was visiting escorts every weekend. I was single and making good money, so I could afford it. Up to that point, I had only had about 4 sex partners (I was 32), mainly because of self-esteem issues. Because I didn't have a lot of experience, I wanted to try some things I hadn't experienced yet. I enjoyed that stretch. There were a few that were just in it for the money and watching the clock, but most of them were easy to talk to and engaging. My paid experience with those ladies really helped improve my confidence level which helped me start dating later that summer. Shortly thereafter, I met a woman I fell in love with and we're coming up on our second wedding anniversary later this month. As I said, the escorts were fun, but every time I make love to my wife, I'm reminded how fulfilling it is to have a deep emotional connection along with the physical. Escorts were definitely cheaper, though, in the long run...
