Quiet Question About Confidence and Escorts

Hi,


This feels a bit vulnerable to share, but I’m wondering if anyone here has ever seen an escort—not just for sex, but to feel some kind of safety or connection. I’ve struggled ... like I don’t really know how to connect with women anymore.


I’m not looking for romance or a quick fix, but maybe just a moment where I can feel accepted and not judged. I’ve been thinking about seeing someone just to talk, be close, and maybe start building some confidence again.


If anyone’s been in a similar place—or has thoughts about this—I’d be grateful to hear them. You can message me if you’d rather not reply here.


Thanks for reading.

Many clients do visit for the intimacy and practice as well! It can be both a physical and emotional experience when that is the type of session you look for.

Chatting at the start of a session is pretty usual - this can be extended into social time outside as well, either before or after playtime 😇 We meet you where YOU are 💙

I feel the deep underlying reason in why one engages in this hobby is not solely for the physical pleasure but instead, the emotional bonding, the space for our inhibitions to surface and to be embodied, to let our inner desires be acknowledged and seen and for us to feel a sense of physical support, connection and existence.

Many of us are lonely, touch deprived and inhibited men in real life, often afraid of being our true selves even amongst our loved ones in fear of judgement and rejection. They may not or never be able to see this raw, animalistic side of us but deep down, we are literally just little babies wanting to be held, touched and loved. Unfortunately we may have never gotten that from our parents, or partners, so we turn to a safe place made available to us.

There has always been so much stigma towards engaging in this hobby, but deep down, I feel the underlying desire is for company, touch and to feel a connection with someone else, even if it means having to pay for it. We are all human and human connection is a universal need, not a want. Sure, there may be some that do it for a sense of power, ego boost and superficial lust, but if we delve below the surface, these are just coping mechanisms for wanting a deep, meaningful and authentic human connection. We all need love.

The less shame we poise surrounding this topic, the closer we become to understanding our true selves, desires, needs and who we really are deep down. Ignore all the social "conventions" and listen to what your body is yearning for. For me, it's to be in company of a beautiful, calm and patient woman who holds no expectations of me, and allows me to be who I am. And from there, I begin to relax and explore all the parts of me that had been hidden away from conditioning. In turn, this also allows the activity partner the freedom to explore themselves too. It is a beautiful experience, fueled by the humanistic need for connection.

Forever grateful for service providers. 🫶

I remember when I realised I was seeing providers not because I was horny, but because I just wanted to feel a human connection.

Engaging with women in Vancouver sucks. It's a city that is completely cold to you regardless of your gender. I'm not blaming women, men have never been kind to women so I can totally understand why women are so defensive.

I just get tired trying to prove myself, that I am not a threat, not going to assault you, not going to stalk you or steal something from you. It's just too much to prove. Again, not blaming women, just expressing how tough the dating scene in Vancouver has become. You'd be surprised by how many shitty men, women see in a day. So the bar to impress women is pretty low, but yet so difficult to connect.

I needed to bypass this "trying to prove myself" thing.

Which is why I ended up seeing providers. They don't judge me, they know we are going to have sex either way and they are humans too, so they love to engage in conversations. Whenever I see a provider I make sure to talk to her for the first 15-20mins. It just makes the entire session so much better because we both start to understand what we really want.

And trust me, most providers, who are genuinely wanting to care for you, will actually love to talk.

But you need to understand, variables exist. Not all providers like to talk, some must be tired that day, some are just so rightly confused why is this guy not fucking me lol

Eventually by trial and error, you will find your regulars.

This is what I love about this hobby, it made me so confident to talk to women, that I love meeting a new provider and getting to know them. I've learned so much about women in the past few years seeing providers. I'm so happy that providers have given me an opportunity to learn so much about women, that nobody was willing to teach me. Till date I am so thankful to everyone I've seen. Massive respect.

So fucking hate it when men feel entitled to sex just because they pay for it. It is a privilege to see a provider, not a right.

In my experience, most of the providers I've met, like 99% have always been so down to earth nice to me when they realise I'm not a sex hungry male, I'm just someone who is missing a human touch, a connection.

The last time I saw someone, we ended up talking and never had sex! It was such a beautiful moment that we just talked and let the moment take over.

But a very important note. You need to open your mouth so they know what you want. Don't just walk to a provider and expect them to be compassionate. You are not a mind reader and so is not your provider. Just talk and ask lol she's not gonna bite you.

Trust me, you're not alone. Now go book a provider.

I primarily see SP's for the connection.

I usually book sessions of 1 - 2 hours as I'm usually a one-shot and done guy.

I like to take time to talk to the woman beforehand, then spend time cuddling and talking afterwards. For me it's about the company and the connection with another person.

Some SP's are confused as they're used to clients who just want sex and nothing else. I've learned I need to communicate what I'm looking for during a session, explain my needs and wants, and confirm what the SP is comfortable doing. That skill has directly transferred over into my non-SP life.

Seeing SP's has built my confidence levels. I'm an overweight guy, disabled, and have sub-average looks. I've never felt judgement from any of the SP's that I've seen. They usually seem happy or enthusiastic to see me.

There have been a couple who looked disgruntled / unhappy. But it didn't seem to be because of me or my appearance. It was because they were having a bad day and the negative emotions were leaking out.

I would think money spent of a therapist is better value to work on those issues.

I started this hobby five years ago, shortly after a difficult breakup. Since then, it has quietly become one of the most impactful decisions I’ve made. By becoming a regular with a few providers who meet both physical and emotional needs to a meaningful extent, I’ve removed a major source of distraction from my life.

I no longer waste time or energy on dating or the drama that often comes with it. Instead, I’m able to stay fully focused on my physical and financial goals. As a result, I’m now making almost ten times more money than I was back then—simply because I don’t have to chase or worry about meeting my physical needs.

I’ve been fortunate to have genuinely positive, respectful experiences—everything from great conversation to quiet, meaningful connection. I leave each session fulfilled and recharged, ready to keep pushing forward.

If you’re someone who can approach this with understanding, respect, and appreciation for the providers, there are many personal and practical benefits to be found. It’s been a game changer for me.

I’m honest (?) enough to admit it’s a bit of both, sex and connection, for me. I’ve got a lot of hangups about myself, my body, and sex. I see a counsellor, and it’s really fantastic, but there’s also something about being able to break down my own guard around sex with an SP that is really freeing.

Sexual chemistry in dating is really important, but it’s sometimes a hard discussion to have early on. Being in a temporary relationship where I can advocate for myself without judgement, and where I know the boundaries up front, has been really helpful so far.

Don’t get me wrong, the sex is super fun too, but we’re so taboo about sex, it’s nice to feel like that pressure is off. And I’m not advocating being super crass about it, but relationships with ourselves and with others take practice and sometimes education. I’d like to think visiting an SP is an opportunity to do something “hard” (haha, check out that pun) with someone who has experience.

Or, I’m just justifying my desire for sexy sex with sexy people. But could be a bit of both. A Duo perhaps?

Therapist are a bit like SP's if you think about it. You pay them for their time, they stroke your mind and emotions...and sometimes you feel better afterwards. You hit gold if you actually find one that does both professionally. lol
Or as some people call them, expensive friends. shrinks not sp's....wait a minute.....

Aw this thread is so wholesome 🫶🥰
Late to the party here, but OP you are definitely not alone in this, don't worry!

This is bang on, and genuinely what I consider to be my job description ❤

I didn’t read every reply but almost every client I have thinks they’re the only one who wants this 😂
Yep. It’s really rare if I get a date just here for the sex. I have half hours on my site but I can’t even remember the last time I had a half hour session. Most are looking for a connection.

On a side note, I'm looking for a provider specializing in tantra and sensuality. I want to feel that deep connection and guided in safety within the experience. Unfortunately I don't have a high budget, at most 280 for an hour so if someone knows of any kind soul who provides this service, I will be forever grateful! Thank you in advance
