Each year, government employees, contractors, and the military have to take training on human trafficking, which includes sections on escorts/prostitutes. It's a serious offense to violate the rules, even overseas.

Therefore, the only legally safe thing to do is find someone who will have sex for free, such as a FWB scenario or ONS. Even then, the government is concerned about foreign nationals and anyone who asks too many questions about your work - that is a reportable event.

Your situation is different, no doubt, but if you are careful about the ethical considerations - as you seem to be - then it sounds like it works for you.

Is it wrong for a single man to visit escorts regularly?

Only if they're under age.

I work on a job that I enjoy (mechanical engineer in a multinational company), live on my own in a top floor apartment, pay my bills and love my family. I also work with a charity organization 3 times a week. I'm just curious if people would think my life is a bit unorthodox since some friends have had strange reactions when I told them this.

I have an STD check every 3 months and I've never had any trouble so far.
If you were entirely comfortable in your lifestyle, you wouldn't be asking a million people on a message board to validate your choice for you.

In your first post, you said you've never had a lasting relationship with a woman.

Yep. Unless the OP feels equipped to take on the Russian Mob.

Look, there is no such thing as a free agent in hooking. Even if someone mistakenly attempts it, one pimp or group or another will want a piece of the money and will strong-arm it out of her in exchange for their "protection" from all the other pimps or groups who will want a piece of the money and want to strong-arm it out of her.

Even if it's legal and regulated, what Jillabean said about it creating demand and therefore promoting trafficking is a very real factor.

The longest lasted about 8 months. That doesn't prevent me from knowing what I said.

Or you could go where it is legal and regulated, such as Pahrump County, Nevada. 100% legal there.

I think it should be legal and regulated in California too, but it still wouldn't be something in which I would participate.

I still have moral problems with it.

Okay. I think your penchant is only going to make it harder for you to find someone in the future.

Why do you think so? At my age I'm not expecting that to happen.

For the same reasons I stated earlier.

In your current scenario, you have "interaction" on YOUR terms and your terms only. It doesn't work that way when you're in a relationship with a real person. You said yourself it's your Friday night treat. You will not be able to adjust after having it "so good," i.e. exactly the way you want it, for so long.

But if you say you NEVER plan to have a relationship, then why question it? Unless you realize the moral problems with it.
