...you can get them down on price easier 
You write from your own perspective...that's fine. But your reality is not my reality...nor that of some others, although I'm sure others can and will agree with you (if only secretly...).
What's normal? What's bent? What is true happiness, or a sense that you have found your true calling in life?? We all walk our own path in life, and those definitions are never the same for everyone.
Just because I may spend time with someone I wouldn't date in my civilian life, doesn't mean I don't enjoy that time, and that it can't be pleasurable. Certainly I make different choices on who I spend professional time with, in part, because of monetary compensation...but that is not the only reason or motivation behind what I do or whom I see.
My happiness in this career choice is multi-faceted. I could try to explain it, but why?? It is about following my own personal path, and that has nothing to do with whether or not you or anyone else find my points valid.
And while I abhor elitist attitudes, and agree on some level that, as escorts, we are all *essentially* doing the same thing regardless of how much is charged, I will take issue with the notion that you cannot be classy and suck cock at the same time. Class is about how you hold yourself and how you respect others around you, not about what activities you are engaged in (or how much you charge...). You can be classy and scrub toilets for a living, just as you can be classy sucking cock and gettinga good, messy facial.
Renting my body does not mean selling my soul...
But that's just my perspective...and just one of a million other perspectives out there.
Look at yourself first without those rose colored glasses, as that is the only place the truth matters.
Regards,

The delusion that everybody thinks like you?
I've talked to a few great **retired** providers, who no longer had an interest in the self-promotion of which you write. One of them is a woman I will never likely meet in person, and no longer goes by the only identity I know her by. I have to say, she's the same person before and after her retirement. Her views, her writing style, her outlook on life haven't changed. She writes mostly of the same things.
I never considered her to be "bent." She was able to bring herself to sessions, and her clients paid for that. I've met a few tryster who I consider bent, but not so much because they are trysters or adult entertainers.
If you have trouble with a 9-5 job, or subordinating yourself to a boss, or if you're a non-conformist, then being an independent tryster might be an option, but it doesn't mean you're really cut out for it.
However, as a male, I had the same problems. I managed to groom myself to the task and hide the corners on my square peg, and obscure the fact that I don't fit. I might have taken your career track, but I would have had to see 12 clients at a flat 50 bucks a day-- with no hope of a raise.
No, I didn't really check on that, but it's my best estimate.
Normal biology says that you will crave male attention, like it or not. Biology also says that you are more likely to have sex with a male who provides resources as opposed to one who doesn't. Females are like that in almost any species.
People like attention. Buried beneath shyness or social anxiety, attention indicates power. Sex makes people feel powerful, too. Ladies in this business can overdose on both.
I will agree that you are in a business, but there is no business like it. Your clients will pay more for your services than for **any other professional.** Think about that. This goes to the heart of our biology. It's all not about sex, it's about all business. But if it weren't all about sex, it wouldn't be about business.
You do have a deep ambivalence about your work. And perhaps sometimes, it can approach identity crisis or panic. But take some pride. You bring pleasure to the world like few others can.
