Why is it wrong? At least he isn't out bar hopping and have one night stands with any woman out there.
I see nothing wrong with it if he is not married and is not going so broke that he isn't financially responsible for his debts.

Too many people try to shame others when it is something they don't think is right and that in and of itself is just wrong on "so many levels".

Why do you care? Your life choice works for you so I'm not clear why you even had to make this thread.

Do you plan on stopping if it's "wrong"?

Mod cut: quoted post deleted.

I wouldn't say that not wanting to get into a relationship with a man who has a high incidence of frequenting hookers is necessarily indicative of "Man, that woman's got so much BAGGAGE!"

OP, yes, people will find that regularly paying for sex from escorts is "a bit unorthodox." Because it is.

Is it wrong? It's (most likely) illegal, obviously. What is your barometer for "wrong?" Everyone has their own. But will most people consider it wrong, red-flag, something negative? Uh, yeah. Is it going to be offputting to others? Uh, yeah. Whether you or anybody else thinks it's "right" that they should have an opinion on it. Deal with it.

I agree. What's your point, OP? If you never plan to have a relationship, why worry?

It's a bad idea if you ever do try to bond with a woman because your setup now only takes YOU into consideration. You could never be in love with someone else because you are used to taking all the time and never giving.

Ok, sorry. Just wanted some input since I don't discuss my personal life with anyone. The thread can be closed if it doesn't make sense.

If you don't have the time to date, who honestly GAF? If you are planning on settling down in the future, I would omit this part. Like would you be ok with a chick who did this for a living?

First off, if it's legal where you live OP, then the morality of it all is your own moral code. If you don't feel it's wrong, than it's not, don't worry about it. If you do feel on some level it's wrong, maybe you need to talk to someone who knows you well and figure it all out.

You asked for reasons why people might feel it's wrong. So I am going to spell out just a few anti-prostitution reasons. So yes, this will be very one-sided.

And to be clear, it's prostitution since your primary purpose is to pay these women in exchange for sex. Calling prostitutes "escorts" kind of reminds me of the George Carlin joke about changing the name of toilet paper to "bathroom tissue" and such, lol. It's like people want to rename it so it doesn't sound like what it really is.

Reasons people feel it's wrong:

The big reason is, there is still sex trafficking and while some prostitutes will tell they are doing this of their own free will, sometimes they are not... a pimp controls them and makes them do it through threat of violence, blackmail, or drugs. 90% of prostitutes have pimps according to WHISPER. Prostitution in this form is akin to slavery. You are paying her, and she is giving the money to her pimp. So essentially you are paying her master to have sex with her.

And even if the women you are having sex with is 100% on board and not controlled by a pimp, the demand creates a need for sex trafficking. It's a big human rights issue for anyone appealed by human trafficking, child abduction, slavery, or women's rights (so anyone who is against any of these things and knows anything about the sex trade, will find it appalling). FBI — Prostitution and Human Trafficking: A Paradigm Shift.

The most common reason for death for most Americans, heart disease, cancer... get down to about #5 on the list accidents. For prostitutes, the #1 cause of death is homicide.

This always stuck out to me as something interesting. It's from the Coalition Against Human Trafficking: "Prostitution cannot eliminate rape when it is itself bought rape. The connection between rape and prostitution is that women are turned into objects for men's sexual use; they can be either bought or stolen. A culture in which women can be bought for use is one in which rape flourishes[.]"

Don't believe that it's all that bad? Ask a retired prostitute if they would ever do it again or if they miss it. What do you think would be said? Ask if someone "rescued" her... because other than death, that's how they get out.

The other big factor is the disease factor. Yes, you said you get tested and that's good. And I imagine if you are sleeping with prostitutes you wouldn't care about a woman's past. But ask your friends. Would they be okay forming a relationship with a woman who sleeps with a new man every week and says, "it's okay, I get tested for STDs and nothing yet!" Most would not be interested on a primal level. Well, that same feeling and reaction is what a lot of women have too when they hear a man sleeps around (and that doesn't matter if it's prostitutes or one night stands at a bar... it's all the same). You are just going to be hard pressed to find anyone who is comfortable having a partner that has a lot of other sex partners.

One last thing to note, society made it illegal... for a reason. Even ancient Rome, empire of decadence, did their best to sweep paid sex under the rug and keep it hidden. It caused problems for their society. What, I am not sure (saw that in a documentary about sex in the ancient world and they didn't really delve into it too deeply). I find it hard to believe that Roman men, who loved orgies and having fun, would make something so fun illegal for no reason. Especially since the empire taxed it and depended on it in a way. They needed it, kept it legal so they could tax it, but tried to pretend it wasn't there. Interesting isn't it?

I still say it's your choice at this point... and if it's right or wrong is something you, yourself need to answer. No one else can tell you. But you asked why some women don't like it, and above is "why" some women have zero interest in a man who has sex with prostitutes.
