(14,689 posts)I think a lot of people don't understand that women aren't always doing this on their own volition. Sure, there are escorts who choose the profession and have highly satisfactory and luxurious lifestyles. However, there are too many girls who don't get the money they deserve and are taken advantage of by unscrupulous pimps. The concept of the gentleman pimp, who just wants to take his fair share for a day's work, has become a thing of the past.
I've found most who used prostitutes are married or in relationships. I suspect they have proclivities that they are embarrassed or don't want their S/O to have to find out about. I call this the Tiger Woods phenomenon. He had a beautiful wife, but likely had needs that he didn't want to burden his wife with.
Others are socially awkward or not particularly appealing and don't necessarily want anything kinky but just companionship and a release.
