I believe it was Chris Rock who said something like, "You don't pay them for the sex. You pay them to go away."

It's a harsh way to put it, but it's largely true. If prostitutes only existed for men who can't get laid any other way, there would be way fewer of them, because there aren't all that many men in that category.

Eh...He may or may not have respect for women, but it's not an untrue statement. Sex has a cost, for men AND women. There's a price we all pay in pursuit of it, whether it's financial, mental, emotional, investment of time, risk of STI, risk of pregnancy, risk of a jealous spouse killing us, etc. It does have a cost.

I don't think that's what he meant.

Agreed. This is the famous chris rock skit. People poke fun at these sugardaddy websites but in reality we all at some point have paid for sex whether its buying flowers, taking a women on vacation, going out to dinner, the movies, a concert, etc.

It may not be quite as outright and transactional as here's a $500 week allowance to be my gf or here's a coach bag to sleep with me but in some fashion all guys pay for sex.

No I believe CHarlie Sheen is the one with the you don't pay for sex you pay them to go away comment. Chris rock had the skit about how all guys pay for sex. Even if its not an outright this money for this sex act we all pay for sex be it taking a women on vacation, out to dinner, buying flower, etc.

I agree with your second statement. There seems to be an attitude of only 40 year old virgins would pay for sex. In reality many attractive, wealthy, guys with alot going for them pay for sex, heck even celebrities do and celebrities could probably walk up to any women on the street pick them up and sleep with them.

In addition to paying them to go away reason guys pay for sex is a few. First off the experience is all about you. Where as in a relationship you may have to receipricate to get what you want with paying for sex your contribution is just a few bucks and the experience is all about you. Also once it's over there's not cuddling or watching a chick flick or talking, they leave.

This is very true. Think about it. Guys who go buy a porsche or a corvette or whatever else. yes maybe a small percentage are car lovers who love cars and performance and love working on cars, that in my opinion is probably 50% or less. THe rest are guys who shell out the bucks for the car because it will get women.

Same thing of buying designer clothes, nice suits, etc. Thogh yes we do like stuff we buy, we do like to be well dressed and feel good about ourselves pretty much everything boils down to image and will it get me women.

I'm not talking about me; I'm doing ok in that department. But there are plenty of normal guys who aren't. To use the "if I can do it, you can" argument simply doesn't apply to getting laid, especially from a woman. See your below quote for reference....

Exactly. But there are some men out there who do (or feel they do), and the fact is, they're more numerous than the women who would need to do so.

This. I haven't paid for it, either (directly anyway, see doodle's previous comments on whether or not you're actually "paying for it"), but I'm not gonna judge someone who does, of either gender. I might be concerned about the priorities of someone who's doing it all the time in lieu of putting those efforts into improving themselves or some other direction.

Personally, I don't care at all. I wouldn't knowingly date a man that had been with an escort - but that doesn't mean I think he's a bad person or a scumbag. I simply would not date him.
