i am a 70 year old man and thinking about calling an escort service. i'm lonely and don't know if this is something that i should do.

Dear friend,

Ask yourself what makes you lonely? What would make you feel not so alone?

Positive physical contact with another person can be life giving; and physical contact with another can leave a person feeling empty and alone........ Sexual intimacy can be healing or it can be destructive.....What makes one experience different from the other?

What would a paid relationship do for you in the long run?

Are you seeking a long term solution for lonliness or do you need a short fix? What's in it for you?

Peace and Good, Ken
