In many contexts like this, we need to replace “sex” with “intimacy.” Or simply “attention.”
It’s not very masculine to admit it, but we men want love, too, or to at least to feel like we’re desired by somebody. From what I’ve read, a prostitute is someone who a man pays to pretend to desire him while he masturbates using her body, and a lot of men aren’t interested in that sort of thing.

Actually, it’s something of a cliche that the more a sex worker is paid, the less important sex is the interaction, such that it becomes a smaller portion of the time spent, or perhaps doesn’t occur at all.
(Where my information comes from: my wife runs a “sex shop” (selling products, not people!), and I was once approached by one of her customers to do a website for a prostitute review service, and I looked over some of the review materials, as well as some existing review sites to understand the industry and its competition before I declined the job. A significant portion of what gets reviewed on these “hobbyist” sites (as they’re called) relate to a prositute’s personality and demeanor, not her physique or sexual proficiency per se. Certainly, this only correlates with what guys who post prostitute reviews on the internet want, but it’s an interesting correlation, nonetheless.)
I’ve heard that, too. As I said earlier, as far as I can tell, men tend to want girlfriends more than they want sex toys that have a woman’s body, and some women are better actors than others. If I were to hire an escort, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between someone who was genuinely interested in me and someone who was acting, and I don’t want to pay someone to deceive me.
Incidentally, there’s a disturbing similarity between hiring an escort and hiring a therapist—you’re paying someone to act like they’re interested in you, even if they’re not.
May I make a suggestion:
