How many guys out there would date a sex worker if you had the opportunity and the genuine connection was there?

I’ve been more and more disturbed lately by the disconnect between men who will gladly jerk off to porn, or follow loads of SWs on Twitter, or even see escorts but

would laugh at the idea that we’re real people with real needs too. It says something to what value you see in us, and also that you don’t think we deserve the emotional labor of being seen as real people. Discuss.

Is it a jealousy thing? Is it not being able to see us beyond objects of fantasy? Gotta say that the partner who knew the most about my sex work was also one of the most belligerently dismissive of me, and another one would continue to out me to his friends as a trophy.

Also to clarify, I do know of providers with successful and very loving relationships, but I feel like those are the exception and not the rule.
