3 per cent sounds about right for men who see Escorts at least once per month.

10-15 per cent sounds about right for men who have seen an Escort ten or more times in their lifetime.

20 per cent sounds about right for men who have seen an Escort five or more times in their lifetime, but less than ten times.

30 per cent sounds about right for men who have seen an Escort 1-4 times in their lifetime.

8 per cent sounds about right for men who would admit on a survey that they have seen an Escort.

This is a study from 2014:


Abstract
Recent media attention implies that prostitution seeking is widespread, an “ordinary” aspect of masculine sexual behavior. Other accounts suggest that customers are “peculiar,” characterized by distinct qualities, perversions, or psychological impairments. Using the nationally representative General Social Survey (GSS), this study demonstrates that prostitution seeking is relatively uncommon. Only about 14% of men in the United States report having ever paid for sex, and only 1% report having done so during the previous year. Furthermore, this study dissects whether customers are ordinary or peculiar by comparing a new sample of active customers who solicit sex on the Internet with an older sample of arrested customers, a sample of customers from the GSS, and a nationally representative sample of noncustomers. The customers of Internet sexual service providers differed greatly from men in general and also from other customers. The remaining samples of customers differed slightly from noncustomers in general. We argue for a balanced perspective that recognizes the significant variety among customers. There is no evidence of a peculiar quality that differentiates customers in general from men who have not paid for sex.

Let us try and figure out a methodology.
- set the scope to a specific region - like Toronto
- count all the sex workers in that region
- count all the men in the region
- count how many sessions sex workers have - we are not looking at unique clients just yet
- how many sessions in a week month quarter
- ignoring unique visits, we can see how many events occur and compare that number to the number of men - if that percentage is low, like 5% then we can see the number for unique visits can easily be 1%
- figure out the frequency that a john will visit a sex worker
- figure out unique visits

This is a complex question. If you say that 1-3% see an SP I would say this is right. and 12-20% have seen an SP once or more in their life would be true as well. There are many variables like availability, affordability, opportunity. Many will indulge if there is small chance they will be caught. There are many men that can not see an SP. They may be homo, or there are even people today that have not or psychologically can not have sex or interaction with a woman. Statistically 3% of men and 2% of women will never have sex in their life. Added into the equation is that there are many men that will not admit to it.

My gut feel is close to this guess. I would lean to regular customers ( greater than 6 x annually) 1-2 % and at least once in their as 12-15 %.
