To be fair there are those of us for whom a prostitute is pretty much the only way to get laid. There are others who can get a normal girl but will suffer through intolerable dry periods between girlfriends and one night stands.MarcosZeitola wrote:
Seeing a prostitute is basically saying: I can't get laid the regular way, so I have to pay for it. At least that is what it seems like to me. Therefore, my ego would never have allowed me. Now if you are rich and a couple of hundred bucks means nothing to you, be my guest and spend as you please. But for me, it does not seem in any way worth it.
Two hundred bucks could buy me so many other awesome things. Good food, good drinks, things that will last me longer and leave me more satisfied in the long run. You could take a cute girl out some place, have great food and a great time, then go to some motel, and you'd not only have sex without someone watching the clock but you would also have a full stomach and satisfied taste buds, an intact ego and altogether end up spending less.
If I was a single man and could for whatever reason not get laid, I might spend the money some guys here spent on hookers on having a good time with friends instead. Go on a trip, see sights, go sailing, surfing, swimming, drinking, hiking. Visit resorts, travel places, cross canyons, tame wild rivers, ride a horse, whatever. Something that I could actually talk to people about without feeling a sense of shame.
I feel no shame. I've gotten attitude from some people when I've admitted it, usually from the Jebus angle from those who have no problem getting laid and in fact date horrible people rather than be single for a month [females]. I call them on their bullshit, if they were in my shoes they would do the same thing. It is easy to judge when you get hot and cold running genitalia and I discount the negitive judgements of those who haven't been there. However most people get it.
Also I can promise you, a 40 year old virgin would get much more flack than a 40 year old who has only mongered. The "are you a virgin?" "No I exchange money for goods and services" and seeing an almost sense of relief wash over someone's face. It happens often. Maybe it would be different in the bible belt or if all your social networks are hard core cultists.
