Its fine if it's just any one man...but not the man I'm with....that's for sure.

It's like men who enjoy the women in the sex industry yet wouldn't become seriously involved with an escort.

The answer is simple. Paid sex is cheaper and healthier than the usual pantomime.
Having heard stories of girls 'accidentally' becoming pregnant and then the guy is screwed for years.... I can understand what guys pay for sex.

Every woman is a kind of prostitute. :-)
Its true, I have friends who have 'put out' after a nice evening/dinner. How is thins too different ??

I'd rather date a guy who had paid 5 hookers than a guy who went out and slept with 10 random women he didn't know.... Prostitutes are usually more careful !!
I asked a friend a little while ago if he'd ever paid for sex... his reply was that every man has paid for sex... one way or another...

See, this is such a mature and practical attitude to have. But very few American women will agree with it.

Somehow, they think that "dating" is completely respectable and has nothing to do with prostitution or the exchange of sex/intimacy for money. Go figure.

Some of them don't want the competition.

Maybe it's what happened when sports turned 'pro.' The amateurs started getting all up in arms.

There is such a double standard. If a woman came on here and asks

"How do men around the world view women who have practiced gold digging in the past?"

People would give her all kinds of crap.

Or

"How do men around the world view women who have escorted in the past?"

Well, this would be interesting and I'm sure American men would possibly have a bigger issue with this than others.

Maybe it's a part of the culture here...maybe it's just personal choice.

Yes, I would take issue if my significant other paid for sex in the past because I would wonder why he would have to. He went to a 4-year American college where we all know sex is pretty easy. I assume if he is a good man, the law of supply and demand dictates he could generally get laid whenever he tries to.

I have also been propositioned and it is always by European tourists or married American men. So it does seem to be more normal in Europe.

I have worked with men who have told stories about the "hookers" they had on their vacations and honestly why would a man want to discuss this in front of or with ladies?

Anyways, since you are having sex with prostitutes I guess you don't have to worry what the women in your life think since all they care about is your $.


There is nothing more ungentlemanly imho than sharing that you paid for sex with "civilian" women. Why does it matter what we think? I'm sure even the most open-minded European woman does not like the imagery of her Husband or BF having sex with an escort.

This is coming from a woman who has lived in Miami- a sex and sex industry capital and has worked in a strip club. I'm not the average American woman by far.

^ I certainly wouldn't divulge that kind of information unless pressed...and even then, I'd be tempted to lie about it. But I felt it'd be more honourable to be honest. Once the cat gets out of the bag, especially in this day and age, it could ruin one's reputation.

thats a pretty cold attitude towards half the worlds population

i find this comparison of paying a prostitute and going to dinner with a lady utterly spurious yet its one which seems to be growing in traction

i cant think of anything more grim and souless than making a living by letting nameless strangers pipe me several times per day , it torpedos one of the most special things in the world , id rather a close relative of mine committed suicide or robbed a bank as a way out from their financial difficultys

even for the punter , where is the thrill of the chase , sure thats three quaters of the fun

As for the male customers, well I have less approval. It just grosses me out to think of a man I'm attracted to paying for sex. It's a huge turn-off. It would also make me wonder if he would do it if we were in a relationship. Just keep it to yourself....I much rather be left in the dark on this topic.
im also not a strong believer in honesty for the sake of it

ignorance is often bliss

Did your friends do that because they felt obligated, or because they genuinely liked the guy and knew him fairly well at that point?

Men don't have to spend a dime to have sex with women. They just have to be nice guys and go on some pleasant dates, or hang around with her at their friends' house, just get to know the woman, and hope she likes them. If she really likes the guy, it'll happen. You don't have to "buy" it. True romance doesn't have to cost anything. But I have the feeling that a lot of people here don't know what romance is.
