Yes, I think what i said would still apply in that scenerio. The fact that men pay for an escort, to me only proves even more, that subconsciously you value the act of physical touch with a woman over masturbation, that's why you're willing to pay money for it
I don't pay money to an escort for sex though, and whatever I did 5 years ago was a one-off probably because of a combination of curiosity and last-minute trickery, and frustration. If that was so good, compared to fapping, then I would have gone back again?
I could not fap after seeing the escort back then because I was worried a vortex would suck me out of my soul and I'd go into space. I could not look at porn, escort pics, videos of women singing, or even watch movies. Now fapping, looking at escort pics, and watching movies are all seen as indicators of health and recovery since this time. I find more enjoyment in these things now, such as fapping, then before seeing the escorts 5 years ago.
However it still doesn't change the fact it is a sin and I'm opposed to fapping in principle because of God's holiness, not because it's better or worst than real sex, which is also sin, unless you are married.
