Why Men Hire Escorts?
Why escorts?
Men, regardless of their education status or income, have been seeking escorts since the beginning of time. But the real question we’re asking today is why? (Surprisingly, women in the past decade are starting to catch up with men in the escort service demand, but that’s a topic for another day!)
At Lollipop Escorts, we have been asking this question for years. We have surveyed hundreds of our clients and combined their answers with extensive research into human behaviour and men’s mental health. What we found is that the reason runs much deeper than simple pleasure.
Escorts cure Loneliness
Or so it seems. However, loneliness isn't something that only happens to men with no friends or poor social skills, it’s a growing reality affecting men of all ages and lifestyles. Studies show that 1 in 3 men in the UK report feeling lonely often, and some even always.
Building on these findings, we carried out our survey, and we were shocked to discover that over 40% of the men we questioned said it wasn’t about sex at all, but rather having someone to connect with and truly listen to them. (Or at least pretend to.)
Fixing Stress with an Escort
For most men, life is far from fun. Bills, work, and family pressures can wear anyone down. A study published on ResearchGate shows that many clients turn to escorts not only for intimacy but also as a way of coping with stress. For some men, booking an escort is the perfect escape from an endless loop of routine and pressure from all directions.
Whether it’s a fancy dinner date in central London or a modest hotel room in Barking, escorts offer something that day-to-day life often lacks: a moment of calm and relaxation. The phone is on silent, the mind is at ease, and there’s no drama or office stress to weigh them down.
When we asked our clients about this, many admitted they often find themselves reaching for the phone or filling out the booking form when reality becomes too overwhelming to bear. Additionally, our small survey confirms that 32% of the men we surveyed stated that stress relief is the primary reason they book in the first place. Some even claimed that without their regular weekly date with an escort, the weight of stress would break them apart.
Escorts offer Privacy
Nothing dramatic this time, but a solid reason men give for booking escorts is privacy. Many say the number one factor is the guaranteed confidentiality. Unlike an affair, which can spiral out of control and lead to messy emotional dramas that no one wants to deal with, an escort offers clear boundaries and total discretion.
Research on client behaviour conducted by demand abolition shows that discretion is one of the highest-ranking reasons why men, both single and married, choose to book escorts. At Lollipop, our survey reflected the same, with a mind-blowing over 60% of clients telling us they call specifically because of the guarantee of no judgment, no exposure, and no invasion of their personal space. For them, it’s about being able to relax fully, without fear of consequences.
Final Thought
At the end of the day, many men, including most of our clients have reasons that go far deeper than what people usually associate with escort bookings. Whether they feel lonely or simply want a night to let loose and relax without worrying about the consequences of tomorrow, men have always reached out to escorts and probably always will. Hopefully, as time goes on, more of those reasons will be for fun, adventure, and enjoyment, rather than the heavy weight of stress and loneliness.
