The only people who would be interested in buying my "services" would probably be lonely old gay guys. I am not gay, so this would not appeal to me in the slightest.
The male equivalent of becoming a prostitute would probably be joining the military.
When it comes to prostitution it doesnt matter if your gay or straight. The customer just wants sex. You have no idea how many or what type would be interested in paying you for sexual services. No the male equivalent of becoming a prostitute is becoming a prostitute (selling your body for sex). So if that does not appeal to you why on earth do you think it appeals to the average woman?
I hear you. I also have depression. I see glass empty in everything. no way any decent woman would ever find herself with me. at least I did have a couple girlfriends and at least I had sex. that's about all I can say. this world sux
Sorry about that my man.
From the unsolicited input pile.......have you tried spurts, like two, three or four sessions per day, of intense exercise? There's a small but growing mass of evidence that semi-continuous endorphin release helps some depressed people.
My neighbor across the way is a surgeon who suffers from depression, the idea comes from him and he stole it from a study going on in Europe. He's turned into an exercise nut the last couple of years and he claims to be much better all around.

May you enjoy fair winds and following seas.
That's super good advice, it's also helpful with anxiety too.

It's a false equivalency. I have never had sex with a male, and have no intention of ever having sex with a male, under any circumstances whatsoever. Neither do other heterosexual males. The only people who are typically interested in paying for the services of male prostitutes are homosexuals. Now, if I were a homosexual, it would be an apples to apples comparison.
I am not against legalizing prostitution. I'm not so sure about all the benefits you speak of though. In theory it sounds good but I have yet to find much in the way of studies, one way or another, discussing the actual impacts of legalized prostitution. The only thing I was able to find was a study saying in countries in which prostitution is legal have not shown any reduction in sex trafficking. Perhaps there is just not much information on the subject out there.
I get the impression though your reasons are more selfish. I'm afraid sex for hire is sex, not intimacy and dont think prostitution is just a male customer/female supplier. There is quite of bit of male/male prostitution going on.
I'm sorry but really, a way for no to low skilled women to make a living? So what about you? If you lost your job, was low skilled or unemployable would you just start having sex with strangers for money? You speak as though its like washing dishes or putting a widget on a digit.
The point is that it should be up to the women to choose if they want to engage in that work. There are women out there that choose to go into sex work. Sadly there are also many that don’t really have much of a choice that are in the industry. Hopefully that is something that can be combatted going forth.
Who cares if the poster is selfish for wanting legal prostitution. There are many choices you make in the economy that are in your self interest (or gasp selfish).
Also who cares if there are male/male prostitution, as long as both parties consent and are of consenting age.
I don’t think we will see a reduction in sex trafficking until all governments and movements decide to tamp down on it. It could also be that countries with legalized prostitution are countries that victims of sex trafficking are more likely to speak to the authorities without fear of being charged and going to jail. Therefore the numbers of people getting sex trafficked is more a reflection of the reality there versus countries where they are largely under the radar for fear of punishment.
It’s all about perspective, isn’t it? I mean, one’s own personal experience has great influence on their perspectives, and can blind them to the greater reality which may reside just beyond their limited view. While there are few rules for which there are no exceptions, one of them is that whatever it is that you are looking for, you will find, and you will never find that which you aren’t looking for.
I honestly don’t know how any LE can maintain a balanced and unbiased view of humanity when all they deal with on a daily basis is the lowest and most negative expressions of it. There comes a time when repeated exposure to negative people has to affect one’s perceptions of people in general. If you have to wade through filth day in and day out, it’s inevitable for one to eventually see the world as predominantly filthy. This is an inescapable hazard associated with that occupation. If you deal with vile predators day in and day out, it could be easy to fall into a skewed view that the world is overflowing with them, and begin expecting to find them everywhere, and in everyone that fits the profile … in this case, the profile being a male. But since your husband is also a male, I’m assuming, what then insulates him from this inherent creepiness himself? Has he received some special dispensation from the Pope or something?
People make these broad generalizations, as if that is actually a valid way think, when it isn’t. But it is natural to develop tunnel vision. We are all a products of our experiences and environment, and that more than anything else plays a massive role in shaping our beliefs.
The greater reality is that those vile expressions of men are the extreme cases that reflect a minuscule fraction, with the overwhelming majority being kind, decent, well meaning and highly valuable, irreplaceable members of society who are indeed being demonized and attacked from many directions these days. It’s become a popular pastime, like a hobby.
And if you happen to be a white male? Forget about it. We are singularly responsible for every bad thing that is happening, and has ever happened throughout the course of human history, and always devising knew and better ways to harm and subjugate brown people, that is, when we aren’t raping and beating women.
That is apparently the great “white privilege” I keep hearing about.
pornography hasn't helped this matter. I know a lot of men(myself included) who have addiction issues related to pornography. It has done a lot of damage.
Brother, the anti-male movement started in the 1960’s with CIA Gloria Steinem.
The 80’s and 90’s was soft psychological conditioning … just preparing the soil for planting. Then the seeds needed time to grow. This was mainly done on a subconscious level, and just as you pointed out, TV and film depicted men as weak, ignorant buffoons, while women were characterized as the strong and intelligent ones … all pretty funny stuff, and quite entertaining….. with an underlying sinister agenda that for the most part still goes unnoticed.
Now, it’s perfectly acceptable to directly attack men, without pretense. And the attacks aren’t just confined to words …. we’ve been under chemical attack all along, also. I promise you … these chemicals which have inundated our food and environment for the past several decades with estrogenic components is no accident or coincidence, but does explain why male fertility is now half of what it used to be just 30 years ago. Estrogen is a testosterone killer, and testosterone is what makes a man a man.
Research the common symptoms of low T, and it will explain a lot.
