Can't pass up commenting on this one, good question.  IMHO, it varies from provider to provider, anything from one of, to both of, the above.

The best reviewed/highest paid seem to have an innate talent and have honed their skills along with that, to create an experience that is far above average... taking it to a level that to me truly is part art, part craft, part truly putting themselves into their work... or at least, exhibiting incredible acting skills, LOL.  

There is a huge difference from that compared to sessions with ladies that just have a set bag of tricks and routines to perform in an enjoyable but more or less craftsman(woman?)like manner.

To be candid, as everywhere else, you get what you pay for, as a rule.  I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the ladies that command higher rewards tend to think of themselves more as artists than, say, highly skilled technicians.

This thread could get very interesting....

I think at times it can be one, the other or none, or all of the above.

Providing-being able to run a business responsibly, keep appointments, screen, advertise etc is certainly a skill that not all women have. Certainly a skill or craft if you will.

On the other hand, being able to have sex with a guy you may have just met, satisfying him while letting yourself go enough to enjoy the experience yourself I think is as much a personality trait as anything else.  I don't think you can learn how to be good at the sex part.  It either comes naturally or it doesn't.

Because I think that is the secret ingredient that seperates the good from the superb providers.

Is one just born with it or can we develop it?

I think that's a question that will continue for all time.

it is both.  I compare it to being an artist, a writer, a psychotherapist, an international level chess player. There are a set of skills that I am sure get better with time and experience, but for the great providers, like the great artists, there are things that can't be learned that separate competent provides from great ones.

It's Actually A Gift

Personality as well.
You need to be engaging, interesting good conversationalist, at ease with someone you have just met and make it feel like you are long lost lovers, a good hostess, and listener, enjoy sex, be sensual and intimate, and able to let yourself go and enjoy the experience. Be able to read people well. Able to look past the physical and find something attractive about the person you are with,to look into who they are and find what it is you really like about them. we are not going to be attracted to everyone we meet. Be open to new experiences...and do all this naked and in 4inch heels and theigh highs with a smile on your face. Sometimes this isn't easy...Yup, its a gift.
Happy X~mas

All good artists have mastered a certain skill set but not all craftswomen are artists.

As Mr Fisher pointed out, intuitiveness plays a big role in developing as an artist. Understanding what each client needs and how to provide that is a big part of developing providing into an art rather than a craft.

And, just as any good artist regard each canvas, song, vase as unique and a fresh start, the provides who are artists regard at least some of their clients in the same way. Although the sex got better and we got to know each other extremely well as we saw each other more, each encounter with my now-retired ATF felt like it was the first time in many ways. Still does, each time I see her.

Just Pure and Perverted Addiction To Sex....Ho Ho Ho!

I was born to be a prostitute.

I love sex and I love money, so what could I do to give me both? An escort!

I really don't care how old is my client, how he looks like, if he's skinny or fat or what size his cock is. I just need him to be clean, healthy and a horny fucker.

He doesn't need to be skilled either, because I will tell him what I like and how he need to give to me.

I don't fake orgasms, because I don't have to. Providing to him is my drug and I need to get my fix from it, so his job is to make me cum, no matter if is his wish or not. He has no choice, I will not let him get out of my place without giving me what he's there for, to pleasure ME!

Now, in my private life I am the opposite. My men have to be extremely fit, good looking and successful in what they do. They need to stand out, above other guys. I am very picky on my choice of lovers.

The only problem I encounter with my boyfriends is that they cannot EVER give me the intensity of the carnal pleasures I feel with an everyday john. EVER!

So, this is why I am a Ho. Not afraid to say the word because is what I am.

What, you think only men do this for fun? :p

Honestly, it's a little of all three. This is primarily a business venture for me (craft), but I do enjoy it and it's a part time gig (hobby), and I am always refining my efforts regardless of what skills I may or may not have been born with (art).
