of course

I totally agree.making love to your partner is much more satisfying than just having sex. Raw sex at times with no connection can be very hot!

Having sex is purely physical. Making love implys an emotional bonding as well, the joining of two souls as well as two bodies. That emotional bonding can be momentary and temporary or it can enter into other aspects of life together and be lasting. In either case, when intimacy elevates a pure physical animal act to a level of human connection it is love making, not just sex. The one leads to only to physical release. The other leads to a sublime sense of connection, fulfillment and inner joy.
So yes, it is possible to  raise the physical to the level of the emotional in p4p situations, both knowing that the love making is for the now, but not beyond.
I trust that there are women who, even as professionals, feel the same way.

We all need nutricious food, but we don't have to eat fruits and vegtable all the time - a Big Mac now and then is fun and isn't going to kill us.

Same with sex and love.  We need love and should combine sex with our loved ones, but to go out and have some raw sex for it's own sake is fine too.

I think it may be a bit easier for the male gender. After all, most of us are quite capable of sitting on a park bench and imagining getting into bed with so many of the lovely strangers who pass by. In P4P, I call it the "Willing Suspension of Disbelief".  Of course there needs to be chemistry and a partner who I could imagine spending lots of time with.  It has happened a few times since I started seeing escorts.
For the women, it might be a more challenging issue. However, the best providers seem to be able to make this happen when in the company of a gentleman who treats them well and seems to need that special bit of intimacy.

Even though I know it isunrealistic and temporary, I often feel in love with some of the ladies I have seen and not just because of the sex.  They are lovely human beeings and this amplifies the erotic experience.  Even at my age I am still a romantic,
