Which sounds nice but it’s really a false intimacy unless you actually go on to develop a long term relationship with that sex worker.
I think one of the biggest contributors to our growing societal sense of alienation is all the surrogates we use for genuine adaptive functions. Everything from fast food to hardcore drugs has been optimized to mimic what are supposed to be honest signals in our brains that guide us toward making good choices in the long run. Intimacy (and feel-good hormones) are supposed to help us survive in the long term by building relationships and strengthening bonds that protect us against all the random risks of life. Building a sense of intimacy with a stranger that you never see again is ultimately going to lead to greater pain and a sense of loss down the road.
A huge amount of sex workers’ actual jobs is giving just that level of intimacy and comfort.

Why can’t Conservatism be this instead of lynching brown people and absolving child rapists QQ
Why bother connecting with a stranger, it’ll only end in sadness and pain
babe, go outside, call your parents or whatever. Life is built on these tiny meaningless interactions.
ps, you will not developda relationship with a sexworker, don’t approach things this way, would you build a fantasy life with a waiter or bar tender?
Any actual data on that?
Lol
If you are paying, she ain’t staying, and that ain’t intimacy— it’s delusion.
i pay for a burrito, then it was gone. it was an delusion.
miss my burrito.
I mourn for your burrito.
Funeral will be held tomorrow, final flush scheduled for 2pm,
Well… hunger isn’t intimacy either?
Just because something is ephemeral or even transactional does not mean it is not enjoyable.
