One thing that I have observed from the industry over the last few years is that sex and extras when not combined with any level of GFE can be had very cheap. On the other hand, GFE and fantasized affection when done extremely well is probably one of the most costly things in this industry. And there's a reason for that, it's actually the thing that is most sought after by men who have the largest funds. And it's sought after because it's certainly true that really good GFE is very memorable. Just cumming is only a temporary pleasure/release.
Everybody has a different viewpoint on strippers and prostitutes though. Some people prefer not to attach any emotional to it at all. I've tried going down that road, and it just takes too much away from the experience for me, and I just don't like it that much. GFE sex is the way to go, absolutely. Even a GFE sort of vibe without extras can be fun. DFK, etc with a hot young chick can be mind-blowing.
What it comes down to is - are you addicted to women, or are you addicted to sex? For me, it's women, and I am very content just spending a nice evening next to a beautiful girl - sex is the icing on the cake. The dancers who make the most money are the ones who cater to this kind of guy, too.
