I have a friend who has started dating a guy a few months ago that she really likes. He actually seems really nice - down to earth, I really liked him for her when we met him.
Now she is concerned because he told her that he went to prostitutes twice as a young man. Apparently he went with friends and only slept with one once - said he wasn't really into it, but was in his late teens and just went along with it.
Now it's 10 years later and he says he's uninterested in that kind of thing, but she's worried.
I asked if it was 'safe' sex, and he says it was. They also went together for a whole set of tests to make sure everything was ok (no HIV, etc). This is quite a common thing for serious couples to do in the UK.
Any thoughts? Should she be put off for something he did a decade ago?
I think she should not worry, but be happy that he felt secure enough to share that experience with her. What do you think?
Maybe he picked up a few things from his 'ho that will spice up the bedroom. Ole'!
Do you know why there are so many prostitutes? Literally millions of them world wide? Because there are many customers. It is estimated that as high as 60% of males around the world have enaged in paying for sex at some point. About 20% pay for it on a regular basis. While I think it is less desirable to pay for it and wrong, people are still going to do it.
I think if the guy is now commited to the new girlfriend, then that should be it. End of story! Period!
And on a little side note, you are far less likely to get a sexually transmitted disease from a prostitute then if you take home someone from your local bar. Most pay for sex encounters are safe and condoms are used. Most people who go home with someone from the bar on a whim do not use protection.
I would say the decade between today and the deed shows this is not a regular activity for the guy. I doubt he hangs with the same crowd too.
If he shows maturity in all other circumstance, then your friend should let this go.
While it's rare to find women sleeping w/ (male) prostitutes, I wouldn't not date a woman just b/c she did that. Just like I wouldn't not date a woman who is or was a hooker (that's in reference to an older thread). Would I marry one? That's a tougher question.
Who cares about someone's past? We have all done things that we would rather forget and wished we haven't.
Personally, as long as she has no kids and no diseases, I couldn't care less about her past, it's her present and future that matter. If she was a former pornstar it wouldn't matter to me, as everyone deserves a second chance.
But if she is not familiar w/ Valhalla, then she goes out the door, right?
I personally would not, not only for the reasons of what he could be carrying but because he clearly treats sex more casually then I do. No thanks.
For me sex is a very intimate thing I only do with someone I am committed to. Someone who has sex with prostitutes, treats it like shaking hands. NO THANKS.

And the payment is not necessarily immediate either.
Exactly.
