Isaac you are correct. We are not talking about book smarts. Intelligently applied empathy might be a better term.

You’ve got a lot of wisdom in there, Chief. I completely agree with your assessment that the rate doesn’t always correlate to talent in bed. It is possible that the intimidatingly beautiful ones don’t get any genuine feedback, so some of them don’t know their skills are uninspired. You have pointed to a correlation between age and skill. I would like to add a second variable... smarts.

There may or not be such a thing as free love, but sex will always cost you.

Lessons Learnt

In April 2006, I visited an escort for the first time since the 1970's. I learnt a lot in that session, and have learnt much more since then. I figured it was time to share some of my discoveries. I must admit that I took a sociology course in college, and have been analyzing things every since. It is a mania.

1. Escorts do not sell sex, the sell illusion which may or may not include sex.

2. The price of an escort has nothing to do with her talents in bed. It is based on perceived beauty, location, and a bit of ego.

3. Sexual talent, like playing the violin is a learnt through much practice. If you want the girl of your dreams, choose a 20 year old. If you want sex that is beyond anything you've ever dreamt of, choose a 45 plus lady.

4. Just because a woman is a sexual professional, i.e. escort, does not mean she knows how to kiss.

5. There are two types of people, givers and receivers. The majority of escorts are givers. When the client is a giver as well, there can be some awkwardness.

6. In the modern world, gentlemen seem to be underrated, but not so in the escort world.

7. Squirting is not a myth.

8. There are some pretty sick guys out there. Hopefully I am not counted as one of them.

9. With a trusted escort, you can be yourself, and that may be the greatest treat of all.

10. Women seem to believe that candle light makes sex better. Not sure why, but I've given up arguing.

11. There is no such thing as a standard blow job. Each woman has her own unique style.

12. If you ask the lady to dress in a way that turns you on, you will have a good time. If you ask her to dress in a way that makes her feel sexy, you will have a great time.

13. I still believe that the small of a woman's back is way underrated in the sexual game.

14. The smell of soap on clean skin is an escort's favorite cologne.

15. Showering with the lady is good clean fun.

I am sure there are more, but I will end the list here. Anybody have any additions?
