>Is there something I'm missing?

Yes, but it's difficult to describe in words.

Part of it is the reassurance of knowing that there's someone you can depend on when times get tough. An escort wouldn't help you back onto your feet if you lost everything; they'd just move onto the next client.

The "talk" you get from a paid relationship is different too. For starters, they're not going to risk losing your business by telling you a difficult truth that you need to hear. This could cause you to become offended, after all, and isn't their place to tell you.
