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.
Because societies with that level of intimacy have been eradicted years ago. The US in particular has been built by people who had uprooted themselves from the last remains of any such society.
Nah false intimacy is coming home to your girlfriend sleeping with your neighbor/best friend then she asks you for tree-fiddy so you look and you realize your girlfriend is about 500 feet tall and from the paleolithic era.

Why can’t Conservatism be this instead of lynching brown people and absolving child rapists QQ

I AIN’T GIVING YOU NO TREE FIDDY YOU GODDAMN LOCH NESS MONSTER

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?
