Poll for men only

[Mark6]

"Auction off virginity" thread (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=129011) got me thinking:

On several threads people either condemn or defend prostitution -- and the latter seem to me in the majority, -- but nobody ever admits to it. So:

How many men on this forum had ever paid woman for sex?

To forestall being accused of hypocrisy -- I have. And to forestall "depends on the definition of the word is"-type answers -- I am not talking about paying for dinner/movie/taxi, and I am not talking about woman taking you to bed because she is grateful you helped her move the furniture. I am not even talking about sleeping with the boss for a promotion. I am talking about financial transaction where from the start woman expected to be paid, and man expected to pay her.

And if some woman here HAD paid for sex, please do not accuse me of sexism for making this a "men only" poll. I am trying to keep it simple! (But comments on the matter are welcome! :) )

[Skeptic Guy]

Nope, not me.

And to explain further. I don't necessarily have a moral issue with prostitution.

When I was single, I never felt the need. I had relationships with women and considered the associated risks not worth it.

Now, I'm married and wouldn't do it to my wife. And from a purely basic level, it wouldn't be worth half of what I own.

[paximperium]

I have no recollection of the events of that October 2008 weekend in Las Vegas nor do I have any comment of the legal age of that young lady.

[lumos]

Nope. (although I have nothing against it.)

[I Ratant]

Directly, yes.
The unofficial method, marriage for sex, not yet.

[Ivor the Engineer]

That's because you were drunk and it was my mother you *******!

[WildCat]

Not me. But once while at work 2 crack whores came by and said I could have them both for $3... trust me that was too much for those two.

[The Atheist]

What? No public poll?

Wuss!

I voted "yes" by the way. A very long time ago at a friend's stag party*. Worst sex I ever had and the only time I've worn a condom in my life. People use those things? UUUUGGGGGHHHH.

*Yes, it was my idea to go to a brothel. Many beers do that to you.

Worst sex I ever had

<snip>

See, that what puts me off the idea. I find nothing erotic about being wanked off by someone who's only doing it for money.

[El Greco]

No, mainly because I'm too proud to pay. A few times it almost happened simply because I was with friends and it was going to be just for fun. But the girls they called didn't exactly turn me on. In theory I could pay for a special night that would include the whole package, ie great woman, dinner, club, faking she's got a crush on me etc.

[paximperium]

That's because you were drunk and it was my mother you *******!
The person in the video is not me. I'm allergic to the nickel in handcuffs and am averse to whips. I have no recollection of the events claimed nor of the five goats and sheep involved...your honor.

Not overtly.

Hmm, I thought the pole was for the women . . . oops, poll.

Never mind.

[Marquis de Carabas]

Does paying the goatherd count?

[ravdin]

Haven't we all?

Poll for women: would you put out for a cheap bastard who won't ever take you out to dinner or buy you something nice?

[Safe-Keeper]

But once while at work 2 crack whores came by and said I could have them both for $3... trust me that was too much for those two.I'm amazed by your maturity. My friends who are former "crackheads" and "whores" would've been appalled had they happened by and seen you spout something immature:).

[gumboot]

Nope. Can't see it ever happening. There are certainly women I'd be willing to pay money to sleep with, but I would never be able to afford enough money to convince them it's a good idea.

[Ivor the Engineer]

Looks like the 'yes' men are being squeezed in the poll. They're probably enjoying it.

[Dragoonster]

Yes. I've neither looked for hookers or not looked for hookers (and the towns I've lived in having had any I was aware of). But one trip to Atlantic City I was ahead in cash and one soliticed on my way to the hotel so I did. I don't think it's immoral in any way so don't ponder this anymore than any other transaction.

[The Atheist]

Does paying the goatherd count?

No, but if you gave the goat anything afterwards*, it will.





*not counting diseases.

[WildCat]

Dare I ask what your job is? :)
I was repairing a back porch at the time, in a very shady part of town.

[Kevin_Lowe]

I've got absolutely no moral issues with consenting adults exchanging sexual favours for money, as long as everyone plays safely, but I've never made such a transaction myself.

I have, on the other hand, slept with a woman without giving her any gifts, free meals or whatever first. We subsequently spent ten years together.

[WildCat]

Worst sex I ever had and the only time I've worn a condom in my life. People use those things? UUUUGGGGGHHHH.

[ConspiRaider]

Well...

There was that time in Oklahoma.

Turnpike deal. When you take your ticket before getting on the I-44 turnpike, every 44th ticket is hourglass-shaped (38-23-36) with a big ole number on the back. For example, the number 5.

What that means is that at the end of the turnpike, you are supposed to go through the 5th toll gate. And then when you insert your fantastic-babe-shaped ticket through the reader, you don't have to pay (the highway toll, that is). Instead, your come-hither ticket activates the explosive bolts in the chair of the fetching ticket taker and she is catapulted into the passenger seat of your car. And off you drive into the dreamland that is eastern Oklahoma where y'all negotiate the terms.

Obviously you have to have a convertible / ragtop / cabriolet, right? Yep. And I do, a Pontiac G6 hardtop/convertible. But I sneaked a look at the lucky booth lady whilst inserting the ticket and my right arm did this goofy spaz deal and I errantly hit the button to retract the roof. My right foot had a similar affliction and I hammered down on the accelerator.

If you've ever had the experience of going 75 in the left shoulder of Interstate 44, on two wheels, with a spiked high heel in your left ear and a quarters-change-maker rammed into your throat while you barely detect a wind-whipped screeching litany of "Don't close the roof Roof ROOF you dumbass city boy tofu-eating surf BASTAAAAARRRRDDDDDDdddddddddd......." - you know exactly what I'm talking about.

But still, Oklahoma is OK.

Always lookin' out for me, Darthster, much obliged.

Actually I have an automatic tranny (pun intended) and good thing too. When her sleek spiked high heel rammed into my left ear, instinct took over. I tried to scratch my left ear with my left leg to dislodge that pesky (yet still sexy) shoe spike. Somehow it got tangled with the seat belt and her halter top and so you see? Sometimes God watches out for ya. Couldn't have depressed no kind of clutch pedal in that rather pretzelian position...

Is paying your girlfriend dinner considered paying for sex?

Nah, I have a 100% guarantee of never getting an STD.

In my trade you are kind of expected to have a girl in every port.

Nothing so complicated.

Just marriage.

[XenonII]

Nope and those that do are moral terrorists. They are criminals, they should face custodial sentences and be placed on the sex offenders register. Prostitution is an enormous sin and enablers are just as bad. Use your hand if you are that desperate for an orgasm (still a sin but at least then you're not coercing another into an immoral, criminal and sinful act).

[tyr_13]

I think I'm one of the few who have a moral objection to prostitution, but don't tie it to religion. Not that I think my morals should be placed on anyone else however.

No, I've never paid for it, with money.

[Roadtoad]

Nope. Never paid for it.

Can't say I haven't been tempted to, though.

[grunion]

Nah. But I suppose paying for the fantasy isn't that far off.

[WaterBreather]

No, never.
I have studied the world, and I realize that social corruption begets social corruption.
The road to hell may be paved with good intentions, but it is travelled on by those with bad intentions.

If you do not object to corruption, then do not be surprised when you fall victim to it.

And I have had plenty of pretty girlfreinds who loved me even when I could not afford to
take them out to dinner. My poverty at the time had prevented marriage and children, yes,
but it had never prevented love and a good time.

[gtc]

Just marriage.

That would have been my second guess. My first would have been that you're a wanker. But then I realised they're not mutually exclusive.

[Kevin_Lowe]

Nothing so complicated.

Just marriage.

A lot of men and women have learned the hard way that is not 100% guaranteed. :)

[quixotecoyote]

love and a good time.

How disgustingly corrupt.

That would have been my second guess. My first would have been that you're a wanker. But then I realised they're not mutually exclusive.

:dl:

I know; I used to crack open other blokes' wives just for the hell of it.

I was commenting on my marriage, not anyone else's.

[MattusMaximus]

Nothing so complicated.

Just marriage.

This assumes that your spouse isn't screwing around on the side and bringing any special presents home with him/her to your love life.

Nothing is 100% guaranteed - especially in love & marriage. I've been happily married for 14+ years to my wife, but I never ever fool myself into thinking that there's no way either of us will ever cheat.

[MattusMaximus]

Nope and those that do are moral terrorists. They are criminals, they should face custodial sentences and be placed on the sex offenders register. Prostitution is an enormous sin and enablers are just as bad. Use your hand if you are that desperate for an orgasm (still a sin but at least then you're not coercing another into an immoral, criminal and sinful act).

Uhm, help me out here...

I assume that because you get your moral knickers in a twist so badly about two consenting adults having sex (one for money, one to get their rocks off), then would I be correct in assuming that you have a similar or greater level of moral objection to - oh let's say - priests raping children and then being protected by a religious organization for decades afterward? Would that be right?

I agree with you then. Let's take down the religious organization that has defiled and abused thousands upon thousands of innocent children by allowing them to be raped by those priests they trusted most, and then further betrayed them by actively covering up said rape and protecting (sometimes promoting!) those same priests. Open that organization up - wide open - and air all that dank and dirty laundry, in the name of child welfare and public safety. Throw all of these moral terrorists in jail and let them rot for the rest of their lives - all of them, the rapists and anyone in the Church protecting them (which would likely be most of the senior levels of the Church, btw).

Then let's move on to the brothels where consenting adults make mature decisions about their own sex lives.

I, for one, would love for more religious people to pay attention to their own lives and moral backyards and keep their noses out of other people's business - but that's just me.

And, for the record, I've never paid for sex (though I seriously considered it once or twice, even while married). That is, unless you count my wife consenting to sex after a super-hot backrub ;)

ETA: Sorry for any derail folks.

[Meadmaker]

As the old joke goes,

A teenage boy asked his father, "Dad, did you ever pay for it?"

The father replied, "Son, you always pay for it."




But no, I've never actually engaged the services of a prostitute. It would have been cheaper than marriage, probably even on a per act basis, but I think I got the better deal anyway.

[The Atheist]

This assumes that your spouse isn't screwing around on the side and bringing any special presents home with him/her to your love life.

No assumption required, I know.

Nothing is 100% guaranteed - especially in love & marriage. I've been happily married for 14+ years to my wife, but I never ever fool myself into thinking that there's no way either of us will ever cheat.

Yes, I recall that from my first marriage. Hard luck for you if that's how you see it.

[MattusMaximus]

No assumption required, I know.

Nice crystal ball you've got there :rolleyes:

Yes, I recall that from my first marriage. Hard luck for you if that's how you see it.

I'm a realist. That's all.

And I'll add that I'm still on my first marriage, thank you very much :p

[Whiplash]

Not me. But once while at work 2 crack whores came by and said I could have them both for $3... trust me that was too much for those two.

http://www.thedailyweird.com/wp-content/uploads/you-cant-afford-me.jpg

[DC]

yes
but never during a relationship.

[Shadowdweller]

Nope.

The idea has always seemed a bit repellent to me. Not due to any moral considerations, but because half the enjoyment I derive from a sexual experience comes from the others' appreciation thereof. Call it a form of voyeurism if you will. While a prostitute or other might conceivably fake interest or orgasm, I find the idea of such insincerity to be nauseating and so have never sought it out. And any friend or significant other with whom I would normally otherwise have sex would be able to convince me to pay them without the sex.

[Lothian]

Never have, never would.

[Francesca R]

never would.There's a lot that can be done about that (http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/erectiledysfunction/index.shtml) these days.

[Lothian]

There's a lot that can be done about that (http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/erectiledysfunction/index.shtml) these days.This is no laughing matter. You may joke but this is a serious issue for thousands of men and is something in today's culture they find hard to discuss. Still it must be nice for them to find something hard.

[The Painter]

Just once. My girlfriend, at the time, said I was a great in bed. I was just trying to get a professional opinion.;)

[malbui]

The idea has never even occurred to me.

[Bikewer]

Having been in police work for so long, I'm perhaps jaded by the "kind of girls" one encounters on the street.
At the same time, we are aware of "high class call girls" or "escorts" who are also rather vastly expensive....
I would not "pay for sex". I might consider paying for a "scene" (if, theoretically speaking, I were involved in some sort of alternative turn-on....) and my wife was not.

In many of these things, there is little or no sex involved, at least in terms of intercourse.


Back when I was reading about sexuality from the standpoint of law enforcement, one of the more prominent researchers had some thoughts about prostitution.
His hypothesis dealt with the "sacred love-sinful lust" dichotomy that pervades society.
Essentially, the "sacred love" object (wife or committed girlfriend) would not be subject to the sorts of naughty "sinful lust" that the man wishes to perform.
So....Hire a professional. There may be something to this, but it seems to me that human sexuality is so convoluted that nothing is that simple.

[ponderingturtle]

Nah, I have a 100% guarantee of never getting an STD.

(and it ain't celibacy)

Your only sex is with the woman you keep chained in the basement then.

Either that or pure masterbation.

[ponderingturtle]

Nothing so complicated.

Just marriage.

Then it is not 100%.

[ponderingturtle]

I have never been in a situation were I had the money and would feel safe enough to do so. But I have considered it for various reasons.

[mrbaracuda]

Nein.

[Cuddles]

Nope.

Now, I'm married and wouldn't do it to my wife.

[Blue Bubble]

Nope for me too. Would never even consider it.

Now that you say it, the man looks quite .. dead to me. Or smeared with duck feces. We report, you decide! :D

[Soapy Sam]

No.
Whether from moral fortitude, cowardice, or a low libido I don't know.

I've worked (still work) in countries where young women have no qualms about forming regular relationships with older foreign men with a clear understanding that sexual favours will be compensated financially and / or by employment or promotion in the man's company. No pimps are involved and the matter would not be seen as prostitution. These relationships often lead to marriage, and generally to expensive divorce.

Yes, it's flattering to a man of 53 when a pretty woman 30 years his junior makes a clear pass. And yes, the hydraulics still work, but I'm aware the bulge in my breeks she's interested in is in the pocket rather than elsewhere.
I also have a conscience, a regular partner at home and a mother who would despise me.
It was never worth the price.

[Francesca R]

Why would that traumatise you, poor Francesca? :(Oh, the self-abnegation consequent upon the realisation that I had the same thought as duck-poop-head. Apologies for you were an innocent bystander. I need to go look for Jesus now. Not sure what his rates are.

[666]

Another "yes" vote. A long, long time ago, far, far away before I met Mrs. 666. I was away on a business trip and happened into a bar where there were only three other customers, all very female and giving no illusions about their profession.

I was happy to chat with them and buy a few drinks to pass the evening, with no intention of taking things further. When it got late, and no other potential clients had turned up, the three ladies put their heads together and offered me a package deal that I couldn't refuse.

To cut a long story short, the four of us ended up in my room (Holiday Inn; 2 King-Size beds) and the rest is history. We made a grand entrance to the breakfast room the following morning with the ladies still dressed like they were going to a party. Priceless!

I've never had the opportunity, courage or cash to repeat the experience.

I have the courage (NOT a 'fraidy Raidey) and the cash (after I sell my genuine hand-assembled futon) and I must now graciously DEMAND that you provide the opportunity.

Perhaps courage was the wrong word. Foolhardiness would describe it more accurately. This was in the days before the spread of AIDS, and condoms were for wimps. :(

[gumboot]

Most of the prostitutes around where I live are large Samoan men, so no thanks.

My own opinion on the matter is much the same as Shadowdweller's. I find the notion repellent, because the main reason I enjoy sex is because of the pleasure it brings the other person. In fact I suspect, unless the prostitute was super hot, which they only ever are in movies, the mere knowledge that any pleasure they professed was probably fake would probably turn me off and render me incapable of having sex anyway.

So I'd never go there myself, but I have no real objection to others doing so. If it's consensual, who cares?

[SimpleIrony]

Voted no.

The thought seems completely foreign, actually. Perhaps it's because I was raised Catholic. It just is one of those things that I wouldn't even contemplate doing. Like shooting drugs or square dancing.

I've done quite a few late night film shoots on K Rd and you're right, they are quite nice ladies a lot of them. It's the hands though. No matter how well they pull off the whole tranny thing, you see a woman in a mini skirt with hands that could crush a basketball and it just ruins the effect.

[luchog]

I would not "pay for sex". I might consider paying for a "scene" (if, theoretically speaking, I were involved in some sort of alternative turn-on....) and my wife was not.
I feel about the same way. Sex, in and of itself, is rather boring (or at least, no more entertaining than masturbation). It's everything else involved that makes it fun (or not). I've never really had the inclination or the finances to be able to do so. Not that I see anything inherently wrong with the concept; but my wife and I used to be fairly active in the local BDSM scene, and have had an open relationship about as long as we've been together, and it was never really that difficult to find almost any kind of consentual activity, as long as you were willing to spend time getting to know people in the scene.

Interestingly, quite a few of my friends are, or have been, professional Dommes, and a couple have been upper-class call-girls; and nearly all of them have worked as "erotic performers/models" at some point.

[tyr_13]

Man, I gotta move somewhere there is a 'scene'. :p

Funny, but I had a similar story, also on a business trip (not in US). Except it was two women, not three, and I ended up sleeping with only one -- the other one just took the second bed. But I had a long and fascinating conversation with both of them.

Friction is friction. It's the context that's erotic.

No way in hell I'd even try it now. We've got the Lizards moving into the area around Watt Avenue and I-80. I'd hate like hell to have to explain to my missuz why she's getting cold sores in places where they don't belong.

Reminds me of a tale I told here once.

A driver I used to work with stopped at the TA in Ontario, CA. He flicked the lights and got a lizard for the night. He let her into the sleeper, and once she started undressing, that's when he learned that something new had been added.

Geez, you'd think he'd at least heard about The Crying Game.

[Foolmewunz]

How many votes do I get to balance this thing out?

Yeah, when I'm single in Asia, I've often paid. Heck, I've paid when I was too drunk to consummate the act because I just wanted someone warm and cuddly to sleep next to.

It's different over here, though. There are only a couple of big-city cultures that have grown up and are into the whole western dating/courting concept. "Dating" in the Philippines, Viet Nam, Thailand, Indonesia and many parts of China (and Taiwan in the old days) is pretty much a commercial venture whether the girl blatantly asks you for XXXX (usually the local equivalent of about a hundred bucks US), or she's looking for, as Soapy mentioned, a "boyfriend" with a wallet.

Before I was an Asia hand, I thought as many have mentioned... "Naaah, nothing wrong with it, but not for me....." But, well.. it's different over here.

@XenonII: You're joking, right? No one is as sersiously whackoid conservative as you're making out to be. You're really Hammie's sock, back to tease us, right?

I visit a prostitute about once every six months. Clean, non-addicted, non-trafficked prostitutes are really expensive, but it's easier and more straightforward than trying to make sense of the illogical and often contradictory social signals women give. If I can find a woman who has the integrity not to play games during the courting process, I'll give up prostitution in a second.

As far as morality goes, it's a non-issue. Many family members are aware that I do this. As an atheist, I don't recognize the religious arguments as valid. The social cost and public health arguments could largely be addressed by legalization.

How many votes do I get to balance this thing out?

One for each hooker.

I visit a prostitute about once every six months.

Because of the fact that the number of women desperate enough to have sex with me for free is limited to one - my wife - I'm firmly of the opinion that if she croaked I'd go exclusively to brothels. The idea of going through any kind of "dating" process to find someone suitable would give me the *****.

[JenseitsDavon]

Yup. Once. Amsterdam. Far and away, the most physically attractive woman I've ever had sex with. Would I do it again? Maybe. Depends on my status when(if) I ever get back to Amsterdam.

[UnrepentantSinner]

No.

[Redtail]

Nope. Not that I have a moral objection to prostitution, and not that I am amazingly cute (I'd have to be at least 3" taller for that:D) It's just that the "chase" is the biggest turn on for me.

I'm sure that could be arranged. Most prostitutes would probably feel relieved if all you wanted to do to them was chase them...;)

C'mon guy's, .......you all pay eventually.............:p:p:p

It just might not be money..:duck:

Just once. My girlfriend, at the time, said I was a great in bed. I was just trying to get a professional opinion.;)

And? Did you get the opinion you paid for?
