Ladies and gentlemen, how pitiable it is to see these middle aged men of disposable income spend their money not only on sex but on companionship. This is what I find sad most of all...

Let us drink, let us dance, let us meet women who can provide us with amusement for being who they really are.

And yet, this companionship for pay service has happened all throughout history and all over the world... Aspasia was the escort of Pericles, there was also Thais who hung around men like Alexander and Ptolemy. You see it very much among the Saudi and Emirati men, you see it with Russian oligarchs like Prokhorov, among politicians like Eliot Spitzer and Baron John Sewell.

Men love the companionship of women.

But why must they pay for it? Why is it such a common thing? It is something so accessible and easy to have, I don't understand why they do it.
