I'm in a similar boat, I've never been with anyone either. I haven't been good enough. And I understand how male virginity is an issue, because the world does indeed make male virginity mean "loser". I think it's a power thing. For women, if they are virgins they are seen as being too good for any man that comes their way, the women are more powerful. For men, they are seen as too weak to get what they want, being *** in this case. Then there is the fear aspect. The problem I've always had with "it will happen when you're not looking/trying" is that it hasn't happened when I've tried, and it hasn't happened when I haven't tried either. How do I know I won't just get nothing for the rest of my life? The fear is real. It makes you wonder what is wrong with you that you are never good enough to get something that many others who are no more special than you (and some who are very loathsome) have been getting with little to no thought or effort for years and years, all the way back to junior high. You just want to break this damn curse. But at the same time I still say that seeing an escort is a bad idea for a number of reasons.
First off is the risk of diseases, including life-threatening or life-changing ones. This alone makes it not worth it. Condoms can break, people can lie about their status because they just want to get paid, people can honestly believe they are healthy but be wrong about it. These women are leading a pretty risky, unhealthy lifestyle, I wouldn't want to risk it.
Not only that, but like others have said, it could be a very unpleasant experience. You know it's all fake at the end of the day, it's an act set up to separate you from your money. Personally it would make me feel like it's even more confirmation that I'm a loser, because that's how the world sees it, and it would confirm that I'm still not good enough for a woman - it would be an insult to myself. It would make me feel like other men muscled me out of the dating pool and into having to pay for it. I'd hate that feeling like hell. I don't want to give them or life/the universe the satisfaction.
Also, if you were to get a girlfriend and you told them about it, they might think it's gross and break up with you for it, even if you don't get sick. The idea grosses me out at least. Or they could look down on you for it.
Finally, you don't know how close you are to getting a relationship. That's another reason I never do anything drastic, even though I might feel angry or hopeless. Because you could be only a year, a month, a week, or even a day away from finding the answer to your problems. If you do something you might regret regardless of what it is, you'll have thrown everything away when you might have been so close. I say if it's come down to this, then you might as well try to figure out what you're doing wrong, anything at all that it might be, or just give yourself more time to clear your head.
