Escorting is not prostitution.
I wasn't born yesterday.
You absolutely cannot argue against it being a grey area though, there are plenty of 'escorts' that are just prosititutes with extra steps.
Granted, I don't have anything against sex workers — I just don't think your argument is very strong when it boils down to 'I didn't have sex with him because he paid me, I had sex with him because of this beautiful platinum necklace he bought me! Totally different.'
The point is escorting often isn't about sex.
You hire a prostitute specifically for the sex. You hire an escort for the company, often as eye candy, but an escort may very well deny you sex.
