As someone who partakes a couple of times a month, there's no cleaner or safer way to do it than with a professional. Sex workers have to take care of themselves and get tested regularly to protect their business.

There doesn’t have to be a whole new thread just for that.

Geez...are you...just out of it or what? Women have been having sex while not in committed relationships for a couple years now...maybe since the beginning of this millennia even! Oh yeah, that doesn't mean they "jump into bed with just about anyone".

Well you're going to have to admit it at some point, right? Unless you had the terrible idea of trying to fake it through your first kiss, foreplay and sex. Don't do it!

Here's what I think. You are embarrassed to be a virgin, but that's all it is. Sex isn't really that important to you. You are just afraid of being alone forever.

If you really wanted to experience intimacy for its own sake, you would have already powered through your fears and gotten that experience you crave. You would be less hung up on "attraction" and totally focused on getting your cement wet.

Millions of men (probably most!) were initially anxious about their first sexual experience and embarrassed and fearful of being exposed or making a mistake. But they still managed it, even as goofy teens.

I think your anxiety comes from someplace else.

(Haven't I told you this before?)

Maybe he’s part of the (very) wide world of hobbyists. Plenty of guys started a as a virgin. As long as you go with “411 verification”, it’s almost always a sure thing & cheaper than dating.

The thing about advice is.. People who can claim to be "keeping it real" with their advice don't want to help you. They just want an excuse to tear you down. I struggled with women and when I admitted that here of all places people tore into me like I committed mass murder! Their advice didn't help me it made me feel worse about myself. Once I started listening to people who were kind and compassionate then my situation improved.

You (not you in general) can get your point across with being an insensitive ass. The world is hard enough.. Shouldn't the people who want actual kind advice confide to people who won't judge them?

I have a friend, single, 49 and retired. Rides a bike 15,000 miles a year and every time I call him he is playing video games. I have not asked of course but I suspect he is a virgin. Weird personality that women find creepy and not attractive. Smart guy who had a good job, lived a frugal lifestyle, saved and retired early. Seems to enjoy himself.

I know a a lot sex workers (and I'm not referring to low level street walkers willing to risk it for the next fix) that I'd rather trust with safe sex than some random lady at the bar; both too drunk to get the condom. Most sex workers I know wouldn't even entertain the idea of sex without condom with a client. Heck, clients get black listed for even asking

We get a lot of married and older guys calling... Yes... we also get requests for sex without condom and I don't know who is more nutz.. the willing sex worker or the client. Just imagine if the same group of guys end up at a bar with a random non-working lady... who doesn't know better.. or too drunk.

Honestly.... lately.... (at least in my area), I'd be more concerned with getting caught by LE than catching STDs.
