If prostitution was legal, would you pay for it?

[Whispersecret]

A while back I asked whether people thought prostitution should be legalized (in America, or any other country where it was illegal.) Today I am wondering, if it WAS legal, would you pay for it? (Assume the women are healthy, have licenses, and are fairly proficient at their jobs.)

Personally, I'm married and get great sex at home. BUT, if I were single and horny, I still don't think I could do it. It would make me feel too creepy to have some stranger make love to me.

Would you unhappy married people partake? What if your spouse sanctioned it?

Single men, would you feel comfortable walking up to the door of a House of Pleasure and paying for sex? How much would you consider paying for average sex?

What about you ladies? I often hear women bemoaning their horny state. Would you hire a man to satisfy you sexually?

 

[Nogard]

No I wouldn't. Sex is part of life, a quick fuck doesn' qualify as part of life

 

[teresafannin]

I don't think I could pay someone for something that I think should be special. I wouldn't condemn anyone for hiring someone for sex, I would, however, throttle my guy if I caught him with any other woman, prostitute or not. The one thing that I could never forgive is if he cheated on me.

Prostitution have been legal here in Denmark for the last year or two, and before that it was still going on, and the police didn't do much about it.

I have been thinking about it from time to time, as I'm sure many other men have, but I never have and probably never will go to one.

The last six months of my tour in Thailand, I "rented a wife." I refer to my relationship that way, because I honestly didn't feel like I was paying for sex, but rather sleeping with my housekeeper.

Having gone to so much trouble to rationalize my way out of admitting that relationship for what it was, I'd have to say I could pay for sex under the right circumstances.

What I could NOT do, was pay for a quicky, or walk into a bordello and negotiate an all-nighter. I don't think I'm capable of casual sex with a stranger, paid for or not. Of course, I've never had a stranger walk up to me and propose a quicky in the janitor's closet either. <G> I have been propositioned by prostitutes and turned them down.

 

[Xander]

No I don't believe I would. I never have been, and probaly never will.

There's just something about it that doesn't ring right to me.
Whatever others do, is purely up to them. I don't look down upon people paying for sex, never will.

 

[Danger Box]

i guess im the one

i dont want to sound like a pervert, but i think i might. although, i dont know how i'd get over the embarassment.

Come On guys. You are about as adventurous as as Queen Victoria! The one thing that prostitution does do is that it puts sex into the smae catagory as other body fuctions.

It seems to make sence to have those needs attended to by a trained professional, who is healthy and proficent, then to be picking up a stranger in a meat market bar for a one night stand.

I don't cut my own hair, my barber does a much better job, and is better trained, but not as pretty as my spouse. Don't confuse love and sex.

 

[SpecialK]

I don't think I could ever pay for a prostitute for two reasons:

Firstly, I'm not a casual sex kinda gal. And if I was going to pay for anything, I'd rather pay for some guy to cuddle with or brush my hair for hours on end. (Would that be considered the same thing? Paying for 'services'?) But, as far as sex is concerned, I'd rather use my own devices than make it with a stranger.

Secondly, I think it would be humiliating to pay for sex. Somewhere someone would say "What? She can't get it for free so she pays for it?" Ugh, no thanks.

Just because we don't pay for sex, doesn't mean we arent' adventurous!!! To me it's just that I prefer to know the person I have sex with. And if we have the same fantasies, it's that much better.

 

[Never]

I'm guessing I'm going to be the only one to say this but.. yah, I would.

 

[Flagg]

I don't see how it being legal or not has anything to do with it. Are we law-abiding folk here at Literotica?

 

[Expertise]

For me a huge part of the turn on in sex, even casual sex is the thrill of the chase or being chased. Paying for it would make it about as thrilling as shooting fish in barrel.

I haven't ever paid for sex, at least directly
,but like Flagg, I am not sure how the legality of doing so really figures in.

I almost never say never but I can't imagine it being a particularly satisfying experience. But thats just me...who knows maybe its amazing.

Call me a liberal, but I view prostitution on the same level as nail manicuring, tanning, and other such pleasure activities. I'm told professional massages feel great. However, I just don't have the drive to go out and fork over the wad of money necessary to find out. My answer to the question at hand lies along those lines. No, I doubt I'd make use of prostitution were it legal, but certainly not on the basis that I feel that sex is a special or sacred act reserved only for the 'light of your life' or whatnot.

 

[KillerMuffin]

If I were ever hypothetically able to do it without my StudMuffin regressing to a LRRP again?

I'd buy my StudMuffin a hooker under those circumstances, maybe two or three for his birthday. He probably wouldn't have any idea what to do with them, but hey, they may teach him some new and interesting things that my fevered lil sexually overdriven imagination may not have come up with.

Personally? I probably would for the novelty of it, but I wouldn't have to pay for sex. This isn't conceit, it's the simple fact that I have way more than my fair share of cleavage and for some reason guys like them. Just flash a lil cleavage, make a lil eye contact and grin that lil grin and he gets a clue that maybe them boobs might be available. I'm not always sure what 'line' works the best at this point, I usually went with something cute and humorous, like "wanna fuck?" What do you think guys, would that work on you?

Just to be clear, there is legal prostitution in America, in Nevada to be exact (and possibly elsewhere). It's licensed and regulated.

I have no problem with prostitution, except for the foul proliferation of disease. Fucking for money or working in a middle management cubicle for money is degrading in degrees depending upon the moral character, personal history and mental stability of the professional in question.

I dated a call girl back in the mid-80s. We weren't exclusive, I dated other women, (and though this was before AIDS got so big, yes, we were careful)and she dated othe men (aside from her customers), but we enjoyed each other's company. I was young, and craved lifed experience, and she sure as hell gave it to me. She was young, in a business full of terrible men, and looked forward to seeing a nice guy. I never felt that she was "degraded". She didn't work the street, but in an expensive Village towne-house. She had clients and could say "no" to whomever she wanted. She chose to be there so she could afford to take care of her kid back in Atlanta. Would she prefer to doing something else? Of course. But it was a good solution for her at the time.

There are many reasons to go to a pro, most of which have little to do with "sex". Men go to talk, for affection, to try out a kink they've been thinking about since that Penthouse letter they read at 14, or because they've simply grown bored with their hand.

Would men pay for sex if it were legal all over the U.S.? Baby, in droves.

I'm with the others on the fact that legality has no real bearing on the issue at hand.

My other opinion on this subject is likely to be one that will spark much debate. IMHO, when it comes right down to it, whether you are in a serious committed relationship or a quick one-night-stand type relationship, you are always "buying" sex. In some form or another, you are enticing people to sleep with you. Whether it be the one-night-stand you take to dinner or your wife for whom you take out the trash or mow the lawn. Perhpas you aren't always paying with cold hard cash, but you are paying in some fashion.

Occassionally, I'm sure it happens that a woman or a man sees a person of the opposite sex and decides then and there they can't live without "getting sweaty with them", but I would venture a guess that those occasions are few and far between. At any other time, your sexual-ness depends on your behaviors and your actions...so, in essence, your attitude is "purchasing" your sex!

Just my lil' old opinion.

Back to the original topic...would I buy sex? Depends on who was selling, what they were offering and the price. As with anything...you often get what you pay for, but it pays to be a smart consumer. *wondering if she could ask for a money back deal?*

 

[ShyGuy68]

*wondering if she could ask for a money back deal?*

Simply.

If I were selling, and you were my customer, that was for sure! But I might not even charge you!!

Oh really? hhmmm

[Dixon Carter Lee]

On your mark! Get set! Go!

 

[April]

Stripping? Oh my! I'm definitely interested in stripping! Who's chasing who anyway?

 

[Expertise]

We can switch off until one of us gets tired and has to lay down.

 

[April]

Ah, and what will the other one be doing while the first one is resting? Something naughty, I hope.

I have been married for 12 years and am quite happy.

Prostitution is legal in various parts in the US. I would pay for it...for myself and for my husband. We have a terrific relationship and enjoy inculding a third (sometimes more) party in our sexual adventures. For the most part it has worked out wonderfully for us, but on occassion a third party/couple has become attached and/or greedy for us. Therefore a professional would allow us to have our fun and adventure, assure our safety and prevent third parties from wanting or expecting more from us.

I just joined today but have been reading this site for months.....is the red face and butterfiles in the stomach normal for posting a response *S*?? I look forward to barging in and giving my opinion on other matters as well.

Happy reading everyone...
