I've used an escort once in my entire life, it was last February just before COVID lockdowns hit. It was a higher end escort, so a woman that will go on dates, parties/social events, etc. I just hung out with her and had some physical time that I enjoyed. It served a purpose for me on a personal level and I legitimately enjoyed the time I had. However, in my opinion I don't think it's healthy for a man to make a regular habit of hiring women like this, which I'll get into below.
If you are a man who struggles with the opposite sex, regardless of the issues (social, physical, etc.) then I feel like seeing an escort can be helpful in a manner which gets you past certain barriers you are dealing with. However, it's actually easier to just continue hiring these women instead of going outside of your comfort zone and dealing with the issues you face. It could eventually get to a point where you've been doing this for so long that you wouldn't be able to land a woman who is actually into you and be able to keep her around in any capacity.
If you are a man who is simply looking to have a sexual release, I think this is something to consider. As
@cola said, sex is transactional, most women are going to be expected to be taken out on dates before putting out. Sure, there are hoes out there but from what I've observed most women who put out with hardly effort on a man's part are not typically something you'd brag to your friends about, the term "slam pig" comes to mind. I think the issue here, like above, is when this is made into a habit and from there it has the potential to cause some warped internal mechanisms you have in regards to developing relationships with women, if this is your goal.
I think using this on occasion is totally fine but I also feel that some of the implications, which I mentioned above, need to be considered. Another thing that I would factor in is that something like this should be kept to yourself. If you are dating a woman, in a relationship or married and she finds out you saw one, let alone multiple times, I think this would create some very serious issues, even if it was well within the past.
