I do some things with escorts I would not try to in real life, because I can get away with it...for an hour.

that their clients often treat them better than their boyfriends. So you’re not the only one who’s kinder to providers than to other women in their lives.

 
As for me, providers don’t get a nicer version of me.  I treat them the same as I’d treat a girlfriend, with the same kindness and respect.

When I'm giving (often to a fault) to my RL partner, I more often than not have nothing to show for it (barring the knowledge that I was a giving sensitive partner). I rarely have my desires fulfilled nor my efforts rewarded and am left feeling like I was hoodwinked into a relationship by a woman who simply isn't interested in being sexually free with me anymore. If she was, I honestly wouldn't engage in the hobby. And because I have to engage in it, I feel that much more grateful that the provider understands me in ways my partner no longer does. So yes, I'm my "better self" with providers.

but they only get me in a limited context. They don't have to nag me to get my pile of papers off the table or get the bathroom faucet fixed, or put up with my bad sense of direction. They don't have to bug me to talk about some relationship issue. They don't have to worry when I'm late coming home and wonder if I'm seeing somebody else. And it goes both ways, of course. If she's an awful driver, spends hours watching bad reality TV, or is terribly insecure and controlling with her boyfriends, that doesn't affect our short time together. Even if you're being your real self and your real self is terrific, it's a lot easier on both sides to have a good experience when it's just an hour or two together behind closed doors.

Providers get the Uncensured version of me! In civvie life I have hangups and boundaries with my significant other that I can ignore when I am with a provider. Is this me better? From my standpoint I think so, at least when I’m doing the limited activities in a session.  However, this is hardly a microcosm of real life as it’s mostly about being in one room exercising my sexual fantasies and desires! For an hour I’m certainly more fun sexually than in my civvie life!

Oooook.  That sounds as if one of you guys are falling for the other one and wants to get out of the game.  And If that's the case then you both need to address the issue.

Get real guys… the reason most women become escorts is to make MONEY.  It ain’t about romance or trying to find a boyfriend or to fulfill some fucking fantasy… it’s about making money.  So in most cases, she’s going to tell you whatever she thinks you want to hear if that might get per a bigger paycheck. It’s called business.
Yes, there are exceptions.  Just like there is a winning lottery ticket for some 1 lucky person.
The opinions expressed above are from my girlfriend who was a highly rated and successful provider for 8 years before she retired and for some completely inexplicable reason decided to settle down with me.

Now whether that is good or bad you'll have to ask the ladies that I've seen
