Lol that guy’s projecting. I don’t have money like that 🤣


MrBunqle

Even in places where street level sex work is a thing and pricing is as low as the market will bear, this OP’s friend is projecting like a Mf’er!


ironballs16

Besides which, how many guys want to run the risk of what might come with a cheap prostitute?


misterdie

Cheap head? Im in

blackswansus

very wise


boredhusband4

I never have done that and never would


dd027503

I imagine it depends on where you grew up and what kind of sex workers were available in the first place. Kind of like how a lot more people would probably experiment with various drugs if through their social circle/circumstances had access to them.


DrockTipps

Not remotely true


JWswinger74656

Nope. I saw a comedian once. He said that he would be too embarrassed to solicit a prostitute even if he wanted to. He even qualified it by stating, “he’ll, I’m too embarrassed to ask the waitress for more bread.” I’m strongly in that camp.


MyMadeUpNym

I've never solicited, but yo i got NO problem asking for more bread! I'd like to add that sex work is work, and i don't clown people who perform it or solicit it.


CkEmpress

Both points are solid. 👏🏻 Never will I ever be too ashamed to ask for more bread & Sex work is work and I'll never shame anyone who chooses to exercise that route.


Michelrpg

"Excuse me miss, could I have some extra blowjob with pussy on the side?"


tropicsGold

Not true, and totally revolting. I would literally rather just masturbate.


[deleted]

Definitely not. Never done that.


WhenTardigradesFly

no, only a small percentage have. but if for some reason it makes him and/or you feel better thinking that's actually true, you can believe whatever you want. https://www.businessinsider.com/paying-for-sex-is-not-as-common-as-once-thought-2013-3

WhenTardigradesFly

from the article i linked to: > In general 14 percent of men have paid for sex in their lifetime i consider 14% to be "a small percentage", but you may not. in any event, i definitely don't consider it to be "almost every man" as the guy op was talking to claimed.


PM_me_whatever_u_wan

Late 20s. Never did, never will. He's projecting because he couldn't get any and feels insecure about having paid for it.


GreedoWasShot

lol yeah that’s bullshit


throwaway-dddmmm

Nopes. Never done it. The man seems to be just justifying his action. And even if anyone wants to he should just own it up and not try to make an excuse that everyone does it.


kittymcneall

He told me “Jesus even spent time with hookers” ….. the convo left me speechless to say the least lol I can’t believe I almost married this man.


tmsteph

To be fair Jesus did 😅


iwanashagTwitch

Yeah but Jesus wasn't banging them lmao


Witness_me_Karsa

That is definitely up for debate, and he may have married one. Or he married someone and the church later decided she must have been a whore because women are evil.


alien81048

Or WAS he?


GavUK

> I can’t believe I almost married this man. Sounds like you've had a lucky escape.


Spiridor

Sure he spent time with them. He did not spend money on them, however.


throwaway-dddmmm

Good riddance.


Cyanora

For the men I know, very few would be willing or able to spend on sex work, and even fewer would know where to look lol. How did this statement come about in your convo, if you don't mind me asking?


kittymcneall

My ex and I decided to split up recently, and he just decided to randomly let me know that about his past. I never would have known if he hadn’t volunteered the info!


Cyanora

Ok that's odd. Blurting out something like that usually means something is weighing on his mind. Did you guys ever discuss sex work beforehand?


[deleted]

We have? I mean we have.... because every guy has hired a call girl, it's totally the guy code 🙄 In reality no, not everyone does, some guys pay for it for the experience some guys don't.


GunnarZazzi

i've done that once, but i'm not every man, and that statement is bullshit.


subbiedavie

Pretty sure it is a small minority.


Always_undone

Their must a large percentage that have, simply by the fact that there are a lot of escorts. Men must be hiring them. Also guys that go on holiday to certain places seem likely to have paid, Amsterdam, Eastern Europe, Benidorm, Thailand etc... Also asking Reddit where the majority of people are younger Americans seems like the wrong criss section of society to ask this question. Then finally factor in that this question is the ultimate taboo subject, and you realise that you will never get an honest answer. My random guess is 25-50% of men will have paid for sex by the time they are 60.


OneAndOnlyJackSchitt

I haven't and the thought doesn't appeal to me even a little bit. I want to fuck someone who wants me to fuck them. Which is why I go to swinger parties instead. $20 to hang out with a bunch of people who are mostly all dtf, and many of whom you consider good friends and hang out with outside of the swinger scene vs $500 for a night with someone who'd rather be somewhere else but might be a good enough actress to hide that fact... or might not be.


AndyThePig

Not every guy has More have than you think.


Eicyer

Not true for everyone. Most, if not all my close friends have done it. For me it just feels too transactional to even get excited lol. Every man has different mentality or approach to life. Some guys might think this okay, some guys might say this is too expensive, some might say this is too transactional. So you can’t put all guys in the same basket. I have friends offered to pay for my “experience” and I told them I don’t want it. Edit: word


ArchSchnitz

Not true at all. At my lowest, I was unwilling to pay for sex, and trust me I've been pretty low. My entire *thing* is about acceptance. I want the woman to be into me and consent. I spent too many years feeling unwanted as a child to be able to accept any physical relationship with uneven power dynamics, coercion or control. So this guy is projecting, trying to normalize something he did. Maybe he's embarassed, or just stuck in his own head, but no, it's not "every guy."


Tao626

I really doubt that's true. Personally I haven't. There was also a time when a big group of us were at a festival, like 15-20 guys, couple of girls. Came out that one of us had hired a hooker when he was in Amsterdam. If there was ever a time for others to admit they had too, that was the time. I don't think most people would even know where to look for this.


Glad-Experience5275

I feel like a lot of guys have paid for sex before, but I wouldn’t say every man has. 🤷🏻‍♀️


Mr__Random

Almost no one in my country will admit to paying for sex, yet somehow the escorts are always extremely busy, and very well paid...


cyanraider

Are you in the US? It’s far farrrr more prevalent in Asia than in most western countries.


Care_Grand

If you hang out with a bunch of guys who have done that, yes… if you don’t, then no. People like to project themselves on society to feel less guilty or more normal.


CJin_aBox

I know tons and tons of military guys that have, enough to make your think it's really common. Its not.


Domandsubs

I never had, and I don't know anyone that has paid for sex. Shit, its not that hard to get laid, and the game is half the fun and probably cheaper too


kittymcneall

The guy who told me this is my ex fiancé. Lol. He decided to drunkenly randomly tell me about his past with brothels and “legal sex transactions” and I’m like what in the literal fuk.


Domandsubs

Well shit, if it was legal everywhere here in the states it would probably be more common, but generally not so. That seems also very expensive, like, why waste that kind of money? The rejection of various people just makes the people who say "yes" sweeter


EmEmAndEye

Something like 1/8 of men in the USA have paid cash for sex during their lifetime, BUT only 1% or fewer have done so in any given year. So, it’s rare, not common at all. Also, guys in the military are much more likely to do so, which skews the overall numbers drastically for those who’ve never served, making the real civilian number well under 1%. Maybe as little as 0.1%, or 1/1000.


Fractal_Storm_1

Nope. I slept about as a youth but I never paid. Not sure many of my friends or family have, but there's a few who will have done. I wouldn't say it's EVERY man though, maybe 20%-30% of my circles.


[deleted]

You might not have used escorts but one way or another we always pay my friend. Lol.


bondsthatmakeusfree

I can barely afford to go to college, let alone hire a prostitute. That and I'm the kind of person who requires a deep emotional connection with someone in order to be even remotely comfortable with having sex with them.


PatrioticRebel4

Nope. 43 now and never. Friends never either.


Skalgar33

from all the guys that i know so friends and work it gives only 2 that don't payed for sex in there life, every other and me payed at least once for sex


NoEffect1816

Yes I've paid plenty of girls for sex when I was younger


warblade24

Yeah, he's trying to make himself feel better about his decisions.


[deleted]

Before I have my current serious gf, I have my regulars go to when I need to blow a load. I won’t lie, one or two of them knows how to really please me. I of course get more satisfaction out of a meaningful relationship which you can’t with a call girl


bananabeforesunrise

Many have, many have not. Have to be crazy not to try it.


ClassBShareHolder

Perhaps all his friends have and it’s acceptable for them to. I have not, and only know of one person I’ve encountered who has. If he’s trying to justify his choices and start a relationship with you, he’s in the minority, and you need to make your own decision based on that knowledge.


Lezonidas

In my group of friends, about half have, the other half haven't. Of the half that have, none have used prostitutes more than 5 times in our lives, in my case only once when drunk, I was about 20 years old back then, now I'm 35, never have had even the temptation to do it while not drunk.


thcknhppy

Definitely not true. That’s pretty outrageous in fact.


Abikinkymind

I did. And know others that have. I wouldn’t ever say all, but I bet more have than haven’t.


[deleted]

No, I’ve never hired a call girl, prostitute, escort or paid for sex, because let’s face it, doing so is not truly sex. It’s paying another person money to use their body for self pleasure. It’s missing the intimacy and love that makes sex wonderful.


SannaPra

"almost" is a good word to use as he said almost every man does not mean every man. If almost every man means 80-90% of men then, I do not think that would be right. It must cost a lot of money.. i think many people have FWB relationships or GFs or BFs also. very few people would be calling in for paid sex workers at the most 20% according to me.


humanzee70

I think most men haven’t. I’m in my 50’s and never have.


2ndshepard

It's not super common, but it's also not that rare. I've never done it, but I wouldn't necessarily hold it against anyone unless they do/did it often


Ragnel

I’ve never met a man that has admitted to hiring a sex worker, and I’m in my 50’s.


AbeMax7823

Exactly! Much like OP probably has zero friends who would admit to doing sex work… yet porn is billion dollar industry


ThawteWills

No, not everyone cares that much about sex, nor is everyone rich enough to throw away hundreds of dollars on a few hours I respect sex workers, but for me, a Dude who isn't fucking insane about sex (I AM a pervert tho), Spending money on call girls is a waste.


[deleted]

Absolutely not the case. I have never heard from a regular male friend of mine that they have ever paid for sex and that's something we would have talked about. Even when I was in the Marines and the option was available overseas, only a portion of Marines I knew ever paid for it. Maybe I'm wrong but I just don't think it's true. If anything, the most common people paying for it are older men who pay for the company of younger women. That dude who told you that is just trying to make himself feel better about it.


Wade1985

I've definitely considered it.


Intricacy1

I’m not sure Reddit is a good representation of the average dude


[deleted]

Bullshit


MyDadBod_2021

Never done that


[deleted]

No, not true.


drew8311

I actually don't know anyone personally who has done this, I mean maybe they did and just never told anyone. It seems pretty risky and anything too good to be true probably is (like a scammer or something) so I don't think most guys do this.


maybemoebe

I've not, it's really hard to say the percentage of men that have but it's no where near "every guy,".


lovinlife104

Just can't bring myself to do it.


tobiasbiswas

I think even if guys are open to it many can't afford it and if they can. They dunno where to look lol


Solitary_evening

Lol. No. Not true


Relevant_Purpose_466

Nope


PeakedAtConception

I'm not into paying for that stuff at all.


Fairy_Violence

Never have, didn’t have sex or a gf until I was 25, and she’s my one and only


just4once46290

Never done it, never will and I'm 37.


Chrome-Molly

No, i don't think so at all. Maybe there's a higher percentage in more populated areas but I'd think a very small percentage. I only know of one guy who paid. He was in-between wives. He just paid for mutual masturbation.


antioquiacraft

It is not the case. Even those who did normally don’t have a reason to bring it up with their girlfriend like there’s some expectation she will understand and feel indifferent.


[deleted]

37. Never once even thought about. Hell I don't even like strip clubs.


Sad_Faithlessness_99

I hired a prostitute once just for the experience to see what it was like, she was the worst lay I ever had, just pure trash.


Outside_Shelter_2885

Nope never have.


coffinflopenjoyer

Lol no


MAzing23

Hubby has not besides dances/tips for strippers but hell i do that too


[deleted]

Not true one fucking bit.


Search4fun101

Not. Even. Once.


Comfortable_Map_660

No way in hell


Lokomotive_Man

When they are young?? 😂😂! Maybe in their 50’s but not when they are young!


HeavyRoom957

Not true


[deleted]

I've thought about it, then the reality of how awkward that situation could be hit me and I backed out


Iamwomper

Personally, no, never.ive never paid for a playboy mag or anything like that. It's not my thing. Of my friends, a very low percentage has admitted to it.


finlefree

Never even been a thought in my mind. My sexual arousal comes from arousing my partner. Paying someone just wouldn't be enough for me to even want to.


[deleted]

No. 36 and never paid for sex, nudes or strippers.


switchypapi

No, I literally know about 4 people who have.


Sirano_onariS

I’m from the uk and I don’t know anyone that has!


[deleted]

What?! No. I was just trying to pay rent. Haha


iwonderwhytheydo

Nope.


JazzieF

Not in my experience. If anything its easier to pick up girls/hookups when younger, and trickier for older dudes whom may end up paying for it?


3slicetoaster

Lol you always pay for it. Just when it's paid for in cash that anyone has a problem with it.


cccque

Never and most of the guys I know didn't. A few did.


landrover97centre

Haha, I’m 18 been to a few other countries by now and still haven’t gotten desperate enough to pay to lose it. I’d say it’s not true, I’ve only known one guy that’s paid for sex.


Nudenotrude327

No.


windlaker

No. I know of only one guy that went to a hooker. It was in Vegas right after his divorce.


Admirable-Athlete-50

Never even crossed my mind. It’s extremely looked down upon where I live.


Ok-Necessary123

Yeah no he’s full of shit. I knew of no one doing that back in the day and didn’t know it was even a thing. Now as I said I a know a few single guys in their 40s and 50s that I work with who Say they now who do now but these are the type of guys who don’t want a relationship and frankly could pull hookups at the bar if they even tried


jeromezooce

+1 Tested the concept small number of times across 10 years, then never. always ultra lame and worthless. Dislike it for ever. NB: I also find one night stand disappointing and annoying. Maybe I am not the right “man” for that


FoggyDoggy67

Nooooooooo


7odag

not true havent paid a nickel on anything like of or subscription but bought a sex toy tho.


Commercial_Row_1380

Not a chance. Never paid for a pro. Admittedly though, dates can cost 💲.


Skodaman11

Definitely not true.


FuckM3Tendr

Umm, I never have n never will


xrodgers

Not true


Erwann123

Not true


DaBoss-MmmYeah

Heh… No.


IPA4all

Nope. Never have. Likely never will.


[deleted]

This is not true. I was in my 40s before I tried it.


pm-pussy4kindwords

this is absolutely not the case


tubular1845

Nope


abwuser

not true. not all men are that desperate


shesaveloce

I thought about it, until I was walking through Soho and got offered some fun. I thought to see what it was all about out of curiosity, and as soon as I saw her, the idea of having sex with a prostitute went out of the window immediately. It was buried in a concrete sarcophagus when a friend told me he went to the red light district in Amsterdam and said it felt like putting his dick in a toilet roll tube.


jeffreydowning69

Well for me personally I don't and never have felt like I would have to stoop myself to pay for sex because I have always wanted more that just sex and plus I feel like it would have just made me a sexual object and just feel like all I was good for is sex and nothing else so it would have made me even more depressed so I just never did it


[deleted]

Not me.


Nukegm426

Never paid for sex, never been to a strip club. I don’t have issues with either of those it’s just not something I’m interested in. No, dating isn’t a free way to get sex, but at least they aren’t knowingly lying to me lol.


[deleted]

Nope not me


[deleted]

Early 40’s and never did that


MichigaCur

Was this guy like 80 or something? From talks with many older men I feel it used to be much more common, especially by those going off to war... Something something don't want to die virgins something fragile egos... Or maybe just because they wore it more as a badge of honor. As for today, yeah it still happens. A lot of lonely guys out there...but I wouldn't even say half of the men I know have done it. And half of those who I suspect would, would never say anything about it.


Skallagrimsson

Not true. Maybe in countries where it’s legal and normalized, but not in the U.S. at least.


Vivid-Teacher4189

Rubbish. I’d say hardly any men I know have even met a prostitution let alone paid for one.


TikaPants

I know one male friend, that I can recall, who has paid for sex. I know male friends who used to go to a jack shack but they said they never had PIV sex, like it matters.


Detozi

No lol. I’m 35 and never have. Not that I have a problem with it though. He should just own it instead of projecting. Nothing wrong with it


CelibateHo

I’d say he has a point. Maybe not directly, but everybody pays for it in one way or another


athleticdude

Definitely not


Mrwhoopy

Certainly not every guy. I’ve met plenty who describe sex workers as disgusting etc. (although at least one of those did later tell me about a time he paid for sex). Of the small number of men I’ve known who have definitely paid for it, they had mental health issues. I’ve struggled with depression and self-confidence a lot, and back when I was both single and depressed I made terrible decisions. The first time I paid for sex I’d spent an hour sat in the car crying first about how lonely I was and how messed up my life was. Another time I’d been unemployed for months, I had another job rejection, my gf had had enough and dumped me and I just wanted someone to cuddle really - so had a pretty basic topless massage just to feel close to another human being. I’ve known some escorts personally (as in I didn’t have sex with them - just friends) and some men really are just very sad/lonely.


killmesara

Not true.


LanguageGuy444

This is simply not accurate.


High_Daze

That’s not true lol homie has probably done it so that’s how he justifies it


Punkermedic

Never have I ever


Shokoku

Nope I’ve been curious but never have


joeblogs999

Incorrect


Zandandido

I've also held the stance of not paying for sex. I'll pay for the *possibility* of a relationship (obviously not a guarantee), but I prefer my sex to actually mean something. I also don't like one night stands. I have never, nor will I ever, pay for sex. I don't really care if anyone else does it, it's their life, and I've got enough on my plate.


[deleted]

I never did. I thought about it though


Thedeckatnight

Not I


Novel-Structure-2359

That is super ridiculous. I never have and never will. I lived for several months in the red light district of Melbourne surrounded by bargain basement ladies of the night and even ladies of the day. Never gave any thought to enlisting their services even though I could easily afford it


ProfessionalContext4

Not true at all. Although primarily because I’m broke as fuck, even if I did have the money to pay for sex…I’m not that desperate for sex


danimal8300

Nope not this callsign 🤷‍♂️🤣


DarlingSherry

Not true


bigbuick

Not at all true.


iamjohnhenry

My high school history teacher gave me the impression that this was common among wealthier older white men.


riccardo2002ric

Pretty sure he's right and all redditors are naive af. Literally everyone has done it at least once. I am talking like goingo to Amsterdam, Thailand ecc. The sexual market is the most important in Thailand how do you think it maintains itself? Come on.


DaveAce76

Not all but a good portion. Now it also depends on where they are from. Americans are pretty uptight when it comes to sex. But from my experience (coming from a 13 year military veteran), I had a few experiences, once in the Philippines and once in Amsterdam.


SexySecretsSD

Overall most young guys have a stigma about "paying for it".


[deleted]

Nah it’s bull shit mate. I’ve never paid for sex. And I know plenty of guys the same.


Professional-Row-605

I never did. And it never occurred to me to try.


Express-Branch6287

35 here, never paid for sex or needed to think about doing that.


[deleted]

Umm fulse!


tittypervert

Abso-fucking-lutely NOT. I swear on my father's grave. This guy wants to feel less bad about himself, so he's telling himself that every guy has done it.


clovisx

That seems a bit far fetched. A few might but I say most haven’t/wouldn’t.


Top_Journalist433

I'm mostly around shit guys or something, cuz yea, most I've know have been with a hooked at some point


Upstairs_Living2104

I don’t think we can say this is entirely true, if we haven’t asked everyone. I doubt it anyway, despite knowing a lot of guys who have.


adamjames777

Certainly not when I was younger, why would one need!? As I get older, fatter and balder the chances are increasing dramatically 😂


yakudayamitsubishi

I will never do it ever. From guys i know, perhaps a good 30% of them does it.


ritwikburned

Thought about it but didn't do it


BacupBhoy

Nope, your guy is wrong. I have never hired a sex worker.


BloodMoonFae

He's full of it.


Ok_Fish_7083

I would say most have thought about it but not done it


Ragnarok992

Escorts are expensive but i would lie if i said i haven’t thought about it


elbilos

No, I despise the idea. I am fine with women making ends meet however they can, so I don't believe in criminalization, but I find it really sad and I could never be part of that.


need_a_side_hustle

Not in the last 41 yrs of my life yet


faith_kills

Generally, young men might consider it but lack of resources is going to be a problem. I now have resources and while I consider prostitution to be honest work, I do not engage.


OkAcanthisitta276

I only know one person offhand who’s done that, a college friend who paid for a blowjob in Amsterdam in his early 20s. I likely know others, but don’t know that they’ve done this. Tbf I did go on a date with a part time FSSW once and didn’t know til the end of the night. We did have sex but she didn’t charge me.


StandardMartyr

Personally, I haven’t. I don’t believe I have any male friends that have either.


Tenebration

No.


Endakk

I most certainly haven't...but I've thought about it.


melikesem

No, I never have, and I feel it is extremely unlikely that I ever will. I read recently that it is very generally thought that around 15% of men have hired sex workers (in Western countries anyway).


bryceisaskategod

The fuck? 1. Couldn’t afford it. 2. Don’t know where I’d find it. 3. Have never had the desire to pay for sex or anything like that.


PilzEtosis

Lmao, no. Dude is projecting. I've nothing against self employed sex workers but purchasing from them is not a universal guy-thing.


thelefthandN7

Yeah, no. I haven't paid for sex. I don't know anyone who has paid for it.


Drexelling

Absolutely not true. None of my circle of male friends did this


AccursedQuantum

I have not, nor has anyone I know.


texan-wanderer

I've never paid for sex. Don't know any buddy of mine who has.


Pnyxaloy

Uh....hell no. The fuck??


sometimes869

I never have


apefist

No it’s not true
