My gal friend was a prostitute for about 25 years. She doesn't consider the term a slur because that was her line of work. 'Sex trade worker' I guess is the politically correct term.
Good for her. Be proud of who you are. Don't place judgement on someone just because you don't think it's worthy for money. I chose to sleep with one guy every night and I don't do it for money. Does that make me better than someone who does do it for money? I say No. It makes me a lousy business magician!! ;) ;) I like the fact you didn't judge your friend. :) :)
All of the above. Either you are all of these things or you are not. I never really cared about a person's past. Just as long as it remains in their past.

;) ;) Ahhhhh. I see. I like your confidence and am glad to see your hesistiancy. She also may have look and physical desires. Just because you have money and she a professional trait you might desire, doesn't mean you hold all the cards. She is human and does have some restrictions, I'm sure.
From the evidence I've heard, that's killing a person faster than regular cigarettes. The one thing I have to draw the line is not making a person make me watch them slowly kill themselves with a cig, vaporing or anything else along those lines.
Everything about her attracts me; personality, temperament, physical appearance -I cannot resist her whatever about her past or present. Not in love really er maybe we are I don't know! Been a good friendship for about 8 years now. I am almost 30 years older than she.
Oops this was meant to be a reply to Merlin.

Let your imagination roll! I don't think age should have anything to do with it. If you both have many appreciations and common grounds, a petty thing such a Earthly age has nothing to do with it.
Please remember. Man made time. Your soul is timeless.

You can choose to love anyone---love is an act of the will and the second of the two commandments.
Love involves care for; respect for; responsibility toward (the ability to respond to); and knowledge of the person you choose to love.
As for "romantic love"---that would depend on the two individuals involved in the dyad.

I could never afford a prostitute, but I would have been curious about how satisfying a male prostitute could be.
I have talked with former prostitutes about their work. It's unlikely and unusual that a client becomes a life partner - though very rarely it does happen. One problem is that the prostitute does not regard sex as an intimate act - for him or her it really is work, not pleasure. The apparent pleasure displayed is a pretence, a necessary requirement of the job. There are protocols for preventing intimacy, pay first, no kissing on the lips, allotted time predetermined, not knowing the sex worker's real name or address, etc. If I was a male prostitute's client, I couldn't imagine falling in love under those conditions.
For me, sex is only a part of love. It's who the person is that matters most. If I had my life over again, I'd want someone who was highly intelligent, creative, honest, responsible and empathic. I'd work proactively to find and get to know that person.
Maybe it's a prejudice of mine based on lack of experience, but I tend to think prostitutes can't be very bright - otherwise, they'd have a job that earns them much better wages and involves far fewer serious risks.
