People are wired differently. At different age, our wiring/thinking becomes different too.
Even romantics in relationships look for different things.

In relationships, its often the small things that hold the couple together. I like my girl to pluck those pesky hairs out from under my chin, scratch my bareback, cut my nails.
Its the difference between a house and a home as we proceed to other phases in out lives.

Commercial sex is akin to fast food, its a convenience with no attachments or responsibilities.
We will want to start wanting something different, whether we get it or not is another matter.
The horror stories of bad gfs, bad marriages are true, but they are the rare outliers.
There are still a goodish number of decent girls out there.

Commercial sex does not prevent or hinder dating, some linger and move on, sometimes coming back, others take a dip once in a long while, some move on after wanting more and take the plunge.

Commercial sex do not define us, we are not stained, dirty or unclean for having had it.

We are boys, learning to be men.

It is a lifelong course.
