Most punters wouldn't ever dream of stop punting. Having an escort GF is a passport to this "lifestyle". "she does it, I do it, too". Or, "don't disrespect me by continuing to work as an escort whilst I may still be punting behind your back and I will definitely keep my punting phone."
Nope not my experience.
Some (quite a few) clients pay for sex because of their personal situation, many would rather their home life be quite different (and they may be single or otherwise), but it's not and paying for sex is another way to obtain affection and/or sex. It's easy to assume all men want easy sex, at some point in their lives most people of both genders probably do, it's not only a male thing. Everyone is an individual, with individual needs and wants - need for love and affection I'd say is pretty much universal whether or not you are aware of it.
I was a cold hard, lets have some impersonal sex, that'll show how strong I am type person - and in a relationship my dismissive side is very strong, any partner has a tough time with me, hell I have a tough time with me too!
The media love to typecast both sex worker and client, let's not us do it too!
