For the purposes of this discussion, an escort service is a business that charges a fee for providing companionship. Their role is to get you, the customer, and a professional escort together for a determined amount of time, for the purpose of companionship, and they collect a fee for it. The escort is a professional that comes to your hotel room/house, for the purposes of companionship. You may find the escort so attractive that you decide to give them a gift, maybe a hundred dollars as a show of your appreciation for their beauty. They may offer you a massage, and upon seeing your naked body, want to make love to you. The legal premise is that it's not prostitution, you're paying them to be there with you, and they just happen to be wildly attracted to you.
That's the legal justification for the practice in most places. It's not prostitution, it's technically just companionship you're paying for.
However, is this practice moral? Is it morally right to pay for sex or to be paid for sex?
As always, please try to keep this flame free. We might not all be adults here, but we can at least act that way.
No, Really. Bite me.

While it should never be considered a standard avenue of employment for unemployed support and similar things, I don't have any kind of problem with it. I don't see myself paying for sex in the forseeable future, but if someone wants to why the hell not?
what do you call a steady girlfriend?
*rimshot*
sorry, back on topic...
A girlfriend is normally a financial burden, due to gifts, meals, and other such expenses, so why not just pay someone more experienced and who does it for a living instead of paying an amateur?
If all you're looking for is a roll in the sack, without the emotional baggage and commitment, why not use a service?
No, Really. Bite me.

Jens had this to say about pies:
They could have brothels for all I care. I wouldn't use them, or an escort service, but I hate bitching about things that don't affect me in any way at all.

Seeing as I'd never work there, call there, hire services from there, and would likely laugh and think pathetic anyone who uses said services, my response is a solid, apathetic "meh".
