... I just can’t see how you make that conclusion... A large part of punting, for me, is simply the ease. I am not unattractive, can hold a conversation, and have a decent job (humble brags 
), but it’s still a lot more work to pick up a civvie than a Sex Worker.
Read what you quoted again. Your inability to believe is rooted in your own judgement of women who embrace and indulge their sexual appetites freely with multiple partners
they have chosen. There's a lot of recent media and academic examination of female libido that confirms they are just as capable of considerable appetite. Given we are one of the very few species that have sex for pleasure there is no biological inhibition, it is purely conditioning that binds us (sex for money or sex without love, etc), once repression of women's freedoms are cleared and their actions free of judgement by men and women then they will be able to enjoy themselves as freely as men. Given our liberated behaviours it stands to reason that women of means will purchase sex on their own terms rather than have to court it.
Almost any girl could walk into pretty much any bar and get herself laid.
But not the way she might want, not on the terms she might want, not for as long as she wants. not for the level of consideration she might want. When those of us here go looking for GFE we want involvement to a degree that satisfies us, we may not get it but we are free to shop around and the purpose of this site is to facilitate smart shopping, which is why everyone should be reviewing with a minimum standard of detail covering technique, engagement and performance. Sure you might envisage people having frank discussions in the bar trying to convince each other of their sincere intent to deliver sex just the way the other wants but they might be jsut empty promises on both behalves.
The purchase of services is supposed to bring an element of service delivery. Perhaps if Tinder/Grindr et al were to introduce reviews where everyone would recount each sex encounter then you could move to the paradigm of free love with satisfaction for all, free of charge.
There was a fairly banal point made on a TV show I watched the other night: the girl, who had gotten herself banged by the school American football team, made the observation that she is therefore known as a slut, if a guy did it he’d be a legend (presumably with the girl cheerleading team or equivalent). Of course he bloody would! And mostly due to the relative difficulties of the two tasks...imagine if a guy had the wherewithal’s to seduce an entire female football team. It’s not nearly as difficult the other way around.
That's you judging based on (un)conscious male supremacy, religious dogma and misogyny.
And it’s not driven entirely by society, a lot of it is based in biology and evolution.
So why are women multi-orgasmic and men much less so (Tantrism aside)?
Men are quite obviously designed to have sex with as many women as possible, women to pick and choose the best mate. A man could, in theory, impregnate multiple women per day. A woman can get pregnant once per year. And that plays out in our psychology as well, as essentially the brain is biology and has been acted upon by the same evolutionary demands.
Oh dear, that's male centrism and conceit speaking, not equality of expression of human consciousness. Men and women both need to eat and can equally over-indulge. Likewise any other vice, women have "equal" capacity and capability to smoke, drink, take drugs, watch movies, sing in the rain, gamble, shop.
... Quite simply women do not want as much sex/as many sexual partners as men and a deviation from this norm makes them a slut 
So, to finally get to my own point, I don’t think we’d see a lot of women paying for sex even if we lived in a “tolerant” society. I don’t think they want sex as much and they certainly don’t have to pay when they do!
