A speech therapist would be cheaper to hire
As someone who takes kids to speech therapists, it is not the same. Casual conversation is critical to help correct speech impediments, that practice with a therapist alone would not give.
He could be seeing a speech therapist in too, but one is giving him technique and exercise in how to improve and the other is helping him get practice.
I used to work in the Apple Store. It was quite common for people to come in, hand me a card that said something like “I’m practicing my speech, please be patient”. Was pretty wholesome
But an escort is (hopefully) much more attractive
Maybe he only stutters in company with attractive people and wanted to improve his self-esteem for business purposes.
Maybe. I know a few knock out speech therapists.
Yeah maybe. But would the speech therapist be open to having a session at a restaurant? Also the escort is probably easy on the eyes as well :P
Not just that, but sometimes you just want to feel fucking normal. Going out and talking to someone is something that was beyond his grasp. Paying an escort for a conversation at a restaurant gives a veneer of normalcy that you can’t get from a speech therapist.
Those 6 other escorts must be doing great if they’re refusing getting paid to have a nice dinner
Honestly, a lot of that is risk assessment. A fair share of their customers are mentally unwell, and a lot of those are prone to parasocial relations. They can even snap and kidnap, murder, stalk or harass their companions, or at least that is what my cousin who is an escort told me when I asked her about why she was denying a request for a dinner at a fancy restaurant.
Also, a fair share of customers who hire them to a companionship gig to an expensive place, end up getting abusive if they “fail” to “woo” their companion, who didn’t even attend with the state of mind to accept a wooing, went there as a businesses transaction.
Not everyone is comfortable doing everything a client asks of them. And social awkwardness can be as much of a deal breaker as anything weird you want in bed.
Must be an USA thing again: got problems with your speech but can’t afford logopedic treatment? Get an escort instead!
Very much not just an American thing. Being an adult and admitting that you need professional help for something most people master as children isn’t that easy for everyone
Here it’s not about admitting it though but to actively seek help. They obviously admitted it and looked for help by an escort instead of a professional practitioner.
