Most of the good escorts I’ve talked to (which is a partial sample of those I’ve hired) wandered into the trade because they like sex, they’re good at it, they like people and they like the validation they receive from providing pleasure. Now the degree to which each of those factors motivates may vary but the mix seems the same.
I’ve met doctors who preferred teaching and a Harvard Law grad who hated the biz and became gifted psychologist. And then there are the bankers . . . I know of a client who engaged a prominent escort now retired who realized after a time that the escort had been a banker with whom he had dealt but only over the phone.
