Your opinion of men who visit prostitutes?

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Right, I'm bored and no-one has posted anything for ages (:() so here.

I was wondering what people's opinions are of men who visit prostitutes. Is it just providing a service like anything else? If you don't approve, would prostitution being legal change your mind? (less chance of the girl being forced into it etc.)

    Doesn't bother me, also I would never do it, it's easy to get chicks those day... But I don't mind men doing it as long as they are single...

    maybe for you....:naughty:

    But even if they aren't single, surely that's up to their partner to decide whether they have an issue with it? Not that I would guess there's any girls that would be happy with that arrangement.

    Why? Is it not a service like any other?

    Just playing devils advocate for a second here, don't shout at me. ;)

    Agree. Some people haven't had a g/f or full sex before for all sorts of reasons. I'm one of them myself and did consider using a prostitute as a way of breaking my virginity.

    Or cannot get any girl to do what they want them to do without paying.

    In theory I don't have a problem with it, unless the girls being exploited eg. human trafficing or forced into it by their drug dealer.Also if I found out that my boyfriend has visited one while we have been together.

    As you say it is like providing a service for men who are lacking something in there sex life for whatever reason.

    they are exploiting people who are often (even usually) extremely poor and vulnerable. Ok, let the flaming commence :p

    Exactly. My opinion of a guy that uses prostitutes wouldnt be very high, an i dont think i'd let the idea of dating that guy cross my mind.

    Well as the resident militant feminist...my opinion of men who go to prostitutes is pretty low, to be quite honest. Anyone who believes the myth of the happy hooker is kidding themselves to ease their conscience about the fact that by using prostitutes, they are exploiting people who are often (even usually) extremely poor and vulnerable. Ok, let the flaming commence :p
    Is there such a thing as a happy stripper then, just out of interest?

    I find it gross and I would look down upon someone who visited prostitutes.

    (who, let's face it, is probably quite revolting if they can't find anyone to have sex with them for free)

    I have no problem with it really.

    I feel sorry for the women who do it, and yes it is a bit seedy an sad if a bloke feels the need but can't say i have any major probs with it going on.

    I think prostitution should be legalised though, and possibly more brothels an stuff. That might be slightly better than having them hanging around dark streets on their own.

    I have no big problem with the idea, but as a man, I would not do it personally.

    So long as both parties are consenting and safe, I don't have a problem with it, and wouldn't judge a guy for visiting one.

    Well, whatever makes people happy to be honest, as long as they are safe/not being expolited.

    However, If my man ever did visit one whilst we were a couple, we would no longer be.

    I have no problem with it. It's not doing any harm if they want to do it, nobody is getting hurt.

    Prostitution isn't all about pimps and street corners, "escorts" can make an awful lot of money and only ever visit clients in decent hotels, etc.

    I don't have any problem with the business transaction if both parties are happy to go through with it, and consent fully. The problem is, of course, that many street girls don't consent fully and willingly.

    I would look down on a man who uses a hooker though, because I think it is rather sad that you need to pay someone a lot of money in order to have some company.

    Well put it this way I'm 28 and never been with a girlie, but...

    ...I would never consider paying to be with an escort. It's like paying a human being to dump your bodily fluids in her...as if she's a toilet or something. I don't really care if she's making heaps of cash or very little out of it...there's just something intensely dehumanising about the whole thing!

    I know several people that have lost their virginity to prostitutes and regretted it.

    Actually i know several youngish people that have done it, even though they have no problems getting with other people. Maybe it's not all about dirty old men.

    I'd be disgusted by someone who employed the services of a prostitute they suspected didn't want to be doing the job - to feed an addiction, or because of intimidation

    I'd also have problems with someone visiting a sex worker if they did so without the consent of their partner(s) - and I feel it ought to be something more explicit that "just" an open relationship.

    Other than that, I have no issues with the 'normal" usage of this shunned service sector.

    Like everyone else here, I have not engaed in a commercial relationship with a professional.

    The one heterosexual femal prostitute I know is happy to do what she does, and has some quite unpleasant things to say about "feminists" that tell her she shouldn't be.

    Well the people i know i think maybe it was more a peer pressure thing. Like your mates egging you on kinda thing. But thats probably a reason for some people.
