I wish real life was more tolerant of freely exchanging thoughts and ideas, but there's too many hangups or baggage that people bring to the table with them.  At least within the hobby you can freely discuss sex without someone recoiling in horror, or calling you a sinner, or trying to stone you for it

not having to dump, be dumpd, or deal with any relationship drudgery. Just two (or more) people fucking each other's brains out and then parting ways. Beeyootiful.

One thing that comes to mind is that because I am single, this world gives me the outlet to create small romantic moments of time with a man and not have to deal with any of the emotional heaviness of a regular relationship. I often feel like I get to enjoy the best parts of a relationship without all the phone calls, the tears and heart ache and the emotional muck that makes my heart feel so bogged down in a traditional relationship. With clients its all roses and sparkles..and right now that is exactly what I need and want in my life.

Not many men can say they have had relations with women of such a wide variety of race, creed, and culture and the different ideals and attitudes that they bring. I find it a titillating and eye opening experience to see how they view the world. A recent thread addressed the dumb questions asked by both hookers and johns. I like to ask questions that give a perspective into their take on life. In many ways these a far more personal than "where do you live" or "why do you do this" and yet they are usually answered eagerly. The best part is even if I vigorously dis-agree I'm still getting some. If I dis-agree with a GF I'm probably sleeping alone.

Of course it's the amazing sex with incredible women.  Living inside a porno.
But more than that it's the relationships with both men and women.  The recent LV M&G is only one example. It's great being with like-minded people who simply refuse to live a conventional lifestyle and actually relish being outlaws who own their sexual preferences.

I feel incredibley fulfilled in the hobby. It brings me a lot of joy. I truly feel like it's my calling.

The intrigue of 2-call verification and meeting strangers in fancy hotels for an illicit assignation gets my ticker going even beyond the physical activity.

Here are a few in no particular order.

1-Having a perfect relationship with a woman. Well, many women.

2-A place in the real world doesn't exist where I can discuss my sexuality.

3-Thinking about lady X gets me through the work week.

4-Being able to fulfill the many different aspects of my desires. There are women who will take care of each one.  

5-Enjoying variety, and discovering that all women are totally different in regards to their sexuality.

6-Learning about women.

7-Planning wild hobby adventures tied into real life adventures.  

8-Surprised to make my first connection, followed by many others.

9-Having things happen to me that would have never occurred in the other world.

10-Experiencing nymphomaniacs!!! Four to be exact. Yes, they do exist.

the freedom! It allows me to experience a variety of people in a way that puts us on more or less equal footing: we both know why we are together and there is no hidden agenda. We can go exactly where our moment takes us- be it the dizzy heights of a passionate sexual frenzy or the calm depths of a deeper and more personal connection, or both- as is often the case. Our mutual understanding created by the envelope allows us to frolic freely- both physically and emotionally- within the boundaries that understanding engenders and enforces. I meet the most fascinating people and they treat me with more respect and honor than most civvie men I've met.  

I also love meeting the other ladies. Some of my best friends are colleagues, and they are amazing, intelligent, resourceful women.  

And like Nicki, I very much enjoy the M&Gs for the same reasons he does.

Started out just horny as hell and wanting to get laid.
But the completely unexpected bonus is that I've got to spend time with a lot of very interesting ladies that I've really enjoyed talking to.  I really do admire the balls (so to speak) and independent spirit of the ladies who make the leap to do this.  I haven't been with any who gave off a victim vibe, but rather just confident ladies making their own path through life.

Pursue my music career in original rock bands in my twenties, numerous schools for healing and the arts, I really got the free time and had the funds needed to do somethings and with very little stress since i made my own schedule and worked very little.
But still had the money for school i was finding interesting, numerous ones, herbaliam, 2 styles of massage, cosmetology, then singing ful time in s many different bands.

i think as far as females in the arts and healing fields, it really can free up your schedule so you have the time to do these intense excercize routines and diet regimes, that otherwise with other jobs your not given very much time to study all your variety of interest and if attending courses for certifications or what have you you really need the exra money and time.  

 
                     i d have to say my main interest in escorting has always been what it does for my own time I am given so much mnore of with this as my job .

As an older guy, I get fuck much younger women than me and they are only a phone call away.  

Negative aspects?
Well, once you've driven a Ferrari or Lamborghini, the mini van just isn't as much fun.
