some are new to the biz and what someone else to take the responsibility of setting stuff up...

some just want a 9-5 job - instead of a "profession"

Some need a large sum of money upfront and a "pimp" may offer a "loan"

Some wish to remain "annonymous" and have little if anything traced back to them

Some realize that setting up a business (advertising, cost of doing business ie, getting the hotel or apt etc) is more work than they wish to take on...

some are lazy and need someone to "motivate" them

Some feel they need a "watchdog" for their safety - and that includes them "falling" for the hobbiest....

Some like the fact that the "escort" services could offer to "pay them" a salary thus decreasing their illegal income status... and the need to set up a dummy company with which to pay themselves...

The list is endless - but you get the drift - once I had a provider friend who "let me into her world" for a bit.  It was awesome - her background checks alone could have become a small business for her - she was through... I asked her to investigate me... I was surprised at what she came up with - lots of info about the ex-ms. Superdude.... now wasn't that worth the hobbiest fee alone.... I felt that was the best $$$ I ever spent - and hey - I am not even talking about the sex, although this lady was an incredible provider....
