I didn't misread you. I said that "An escort and client dating in the scenario I've described is not the result of a crime / unethical action".Once again you're completely misreading me. I never said it was unethical or a crime to date an escort. I'm just saying that power imbalances can lead to relationships failing. That's something completely different.
Your "money as energy" argument is really throwing me off honestly. Money is something you give to someone when you're paying for a service or when you're buying something.
Let me spell it out for you again. When you are paying someone for companionship, what you initially negotiated during the booking has to happen. You are paying for the escort to show you a wonderful time. If she's having a bad day, she won't show you that. She won't share things that could upset or bore you. She will be dressed a certain way. Intimacy is often guaranteed, with all the acronyms you asked for.
If you're not paying anymore, you may find out that sometimes, she is in a bad mood. You may realize there are things about her you didn't know. You may see her dressed in a completely different way. Maybe she won't always feel like being intimate.
Maybe it will bother you that she is an escort. You'll feel jealous about her experiences with other men, or upset and worried when she has bad experiences.
Maybe it's also you who will start changing around her, and she won't recognize the generous and sweet guy she met as an escort.
Before anyone asks, I'm taking this much time replying because I've had many guys book me to cry on my shoulder about escorts they thought they were dating (but were still paying). Some of them became really angry and bitter afterwards.
As an escort I feel really flattered when clients book me because they like me as a person and I'll gladly accompany them through certain things, offer warmth and compassion and listen to them. I also like to feel like I was chosen by someone because we have things in common and this person knows we'll have fun together.
But when I feel like a client may start pushing for something more, I get worried and I prefer to say the truth instead of entertaining those feelings to get more money out of him. Really often when I hear these stories, it seems to me that the escort was only doing her job and being pleasant, and the client became obsessed.
Someone said above that seeing an escort doesn't replace therapy and I agree with that person. You can't force somebody to reciprocate interest.. and I think seeing escorts to find a girlfriend is not a good idea. Once again I'm not saying it's impossible for it to happen... But I don't think that should be the goal.
You can also pay for a good / service with your labor, time or another good / service. Currency doesn't need to be involved. It's not the only thing used to obtain goods / services. Hence why I believe it's just a medium for energy.
