I've known sex workers who do it because they love sex, and if they're gonna be out there having a lot of sex they might as well also get loads of money from it.

To be fair, about half of them then got into drugs and started doing it to keep up their drug habit...before the drugs they were very choosy about their clients and only picked the ones they liked, but afterwards they needed more money so they dropped standards.

But the other half were just getting paid to go on dates and have sex, which is what they'd be doing anyway.

I don't hire sex workers because I don't have the money for it lol. But if I did, I'd want one like that. I have no idea how rare it is.
