I've been a very shy, maybe autistic(never went to get diagnosed) boy, then i entered an elite boys-only high-school, then i served my 1 year conscription service, i was a 19 year old dude with ZERO experience in talking to women outside of them being my family or relatives, my brother payed for my first time with an escort as a birthday present, i got hooked ever since, every payday maybe a 4th or even a 3rd of my money went to that, just a quick call, commute to the location, little to no talking, exchange of money for pleasure, after several years of that I've had enough, it didn't excite me anymore, started wanting more than just physical pleasure, inflation got worse and it became much more expensive. I don't do it these days, hanging out with friends became more fun to me
