My boyfriend was with a prostitute

    I'm so confused and upset right now. I actually feel on the verge of throwing up or crying or something, idk.

    My boyfriend and I were just hanging out in mine, and we were talking about the 'crazy stuff' we've done. Anyway, he tells me (as if it's a funny story) how 3 years ago, he and 2 of his mates were in Hawaii, and long story short, they ended up in this hookers apartment. They had sex with her one by one.
    I just sat there silent through the whole story and I didn't really know how to react to be honest. He was telling the story as if it was funny, but it just seems sick to me.

    He told me he was so drunk, he couldn't come, his other friend said she was "sh*t" so he took it out and came on her, which made her mad...and after the last friend had sex with her, they just left. Sorry it that's all very tmi, but it just sounds so demeaning. I can't even bear thinking about it, ugh.
    I was just really quiet after he told me this, and I said "but you could have HIV or anything" and he was like (realising at this point that I was less than impressed??) "no of course I used a condom, and I've been checked since obviously".
    So i'm ok in that regard? I just feel utterly disgusted by this, to the point I don't think I can be with him. It just sounds so absolutely sick and twisted to me. Am I wrong in thinking this? I don't know the details of the prostitute, but I can't help thinking she was used.

    He's never been anything but respectful to me (sexually and otherwise). I just don't know what to think. I mean, I know this is in his past, so I don't know if I should let it go? He was almost reluctant to tell the story at first, but I pressed it out of him (obviously I wasn't expecting this). He kept saying "but you won't talk to me anymore after". At the same time, he pretty much told the story in a light-hearted manner
    I didn't want to prove him right, but i can't take this. I just said nothing and he said "ok, this is awkward, I'm gonna go for a while, i'll catch you later".
    So I said "ok" and he's gone.

    He 26, i'm 22. This happened 3 years ago. We've been together nearly a year.
    I mean, I was with 4 people before him, I'm not exactly virgin Mary or anything. I've had one night stands, so i'm not sure if I can take the moral high ground? But what the f*ck? I can't get this out of my head.
    The funny thing is, i'm not really intrinsically against prostitution or anything, but the fact my boyfriend did this bothers me so much. Is that hypocritical? I feel they used her to the highest extent. I'm not sure if that's even the case, or it's just the fact my own bf did this that bothers me. I don't get how he can be so perfect with me, yet treat a girl like that though. I mean obviously it was consensual, but still. I don't know if I'm over-reacting or if I should be disgusted by this? Maybe I am over-reacting. He really is a lovely person and this is shocking to me. And the fact he seems to think this is some hilarious thing that happened..

    Sorry for the long post. He hasn't called me or anything yet, he knows I'm mad. I don't know what to do..

    As you said yourself this did happen in the past and he has been checked for STDs. I can't understand why he thought you would find this funny. Strange. Everybody has done things in the past they are not proud of, yourself included I am sure.

    I would tell him if he did anything like that again he is out the door and then try to build a bridge and get over it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,133 ✭✭✭Idle Passerby


    This is a tough one. I cant tell you how you 'should' feel but I too would be very upset if I heard this from my boyfriend. Personally I think if your young, able bodied and in possesion of your full faculties using a prostitute is pretty disgusting, I know some would disagree so I'll make it clear that is just my own personal opinion and I'm not saying you should feel that way too.

    That aside, I think the fact that he and a few friends all had sex with the same woman (who they didn't feel the need to be respectful towards) one after another is also pretty disgusting. The woman presumably received money and agreed to this but it would rattle me that my boyfriend and his friends could have done something so sleazy. If you do not respect the person your sleeping with you cant really have much respect for yourself in my opinion.

    He did warn you before telling you that you wouldn't like what you heard and you say it was difficult to get the story out of him, so I assume he is aware its not something that paints him in a great light. He may have told it in a lighthearted manner in the hope you'd also think it was funny but there would be very few women who would slap their thighs laughing at that story and if he has any sense he'd know that.

    I think you need to tell him how upset you are and that its coloured how you think of him and have a conversation from there.

    OP I am a guy and I can assure you that most guys have some sort of skeleton in their closet. TBH, his is not the worst one I heard and it sounds to me like he was drunk and it was a bit of group think. Peer pressure. He said he didn't come, which means he didn't do it to get sexual satisfaction and as such he only did it to fit in with the lads

    He has made the steps to make sure everything is ok by going for a STI check and is clean.

    As for your worry that they took advantage of the girl, I would say don't worry about that. The woman would never agree to anything she was not comfortable with and would have a lot of security to protect her and she probably took them to town with what she charged for the session.

    TBH, if they had done it to a girl who wasn't a prostitute would be more concerned about using the girl.

    I think the worst mistake this guy did was tell you what happened, but at least you know now. This is probably the worst thing he ever did and in the grand scheme of things, it's not too bad.

    Can you get over it is the real question.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,479 ✭✭✭I am a friend


    Yeah I cant tell you how to feel either but it would not sit well with me and I think i would think of it if having sex with him again... Its just not my scene and you will hear people on here saying he did nothing wrong... Each to their own but I think its disgusitng that they had a pop at her one after another... Were his mates watching him? Its just weird

    An ex of mine told me that he had been with a prostitute in Amsterdam long before he met me. He answered any questions I had and wasn't at all ashamed of it, just a bit embarrassed really. He was on a stag weekend and said that everyone was doing it, even the dad of the guy getting married, who is obviously a married man. I was absolutely sick as a pig about it, but he wasn't a good guy, and being with a prostitute said a lot about him (as far as I'm concerned, he was led by his penis in general)
    There are a couple of considerations here: firstly I bet your guy wouldn't have done it had he been alone, it was the whole pack-mentality, courage with his friends thing. Secondly, from what you've described, he knows it was basically wrong. Thirdly, you said he was a good guy apart from this.
    You need to talk this out calmly. Let him know how you feel about the whole subject and find out how he feels and make sure you have a really good idea on what his basic attitude is towards women, sex, etc. I'm guessing this was a one off, drunken, holiday, got-caught-up- in-the-moment situation, and he has evolved enough since then to know better. Be glad he told you, and make sure he feels safe to tell you anything in the future, and that it won't backfire on him. Make sure he knows where you stand on this kind of behaviour and decide together if you guys on the same page about such things.

    Doesnt, in my book, make it any better to thyink he hadnt the 'balls' to say no to hsi mates. Who is to say he wasnt the ring leader ?!?!?!?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 143 ✭✭Killed By Death


    I would have the exact same reaction as you OP. It's not just being with a prostitute that is bothering here. It's far more than that on so many levels.

    First of all, he had sex with the girl with others in the room who also had sex with her. That is very, very dodgy. They acted degradingly twords the woman and treated her like an object lesser than them. It's creepy and sick that they had sex in front of each other too. That's a serious boundary of normality broken. They acted in a pack mentality.

    Then he 'took it out and came on her' -doesn't sound like he was using protection to me. His friend called her 'sh!t' and then your BF came on her making her mad. 3 guys in a room? Consensual......I have to wonder.

    The casual manner in which he told the story is also chilling. As if it was just another party jape, a bit of laugh. It would make my blood run cold. I'm the furthest thing from a radical feminazi you could meet but the casual trivialisation of the incident would be ringing serious alarm bells with me.

    I also don't belive for one moment they used condoms, if their inhibitions were broken down that far that they roasted a prostitute in each others prescence, she got 'mad' (could be interpreted as was raped/not willing) then using condoms would have been way down their list of priorities. I also don't believe him about the STD test. Ask to see the letter. You get one when you have a full screen. If he refuses, ask him to go for another screen, his reaction will be telling. But that's almost besides the point anyway. You have bigger problems than that.

    I'm no angel and neither is my fella, everyone has skeletons but this goes a lot further than that. These guys used and humiliated someone like they were a piece of trash and now see it as funny. That would be a massive deal breaker for me. You are the only one who knows how you feel about it.

    I don't think it's trivial, it wouldn't sit right with me. Others obviously have a different view looking at this thread but just wanted to add a different perspective.

    You would be hard pushed to find a prostitute that would allow a group of guys to sleep with her without condoms.

    Plus it sounded like his friend came on her, not him. He didn't come at all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 678 ✭✭✭ihsb


    I wouldn't be ok with that at all. For me it would be a run but you love the guy so the only thing you can do is communicate with him until you know whether or not you can get past it.

    The thought that he slept with this girl after his mate came on her. Also that he felt ok having sex with someone that didn't want to do it with him (it is just for the money) would make me re-evaluate what I knew about him.

    Good luck OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,537 ✭✭✭Gyalist


    Insist that he has a full STI check. He "says" that he has been checked since the incident but for your own peace of mind he should be checked again.

    This happened in Hawaii remember. Prostitution is not neat and tidy and clean and regulated as people imagine. I know in Thailand girls would 'go bareback' for a little extra so I don't think we can know for sure. Also the lads were locked out of their heads. I'm just not believing the condoms and STD story, sounds like he added that as an afterthought.

    I'm not sure reading the OP whether it was himself or the friend but the relevant point is one of them came on her which was against her wishes and she 'got mad'. Things were out of control anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,128 ✭✭✭dellas1979


    Yes-everyone has skeletons.His past is his past, that is correct. And one of the things you need to figure out is how you feel about your boyfriend being with a prostitute.

    The thing that struck me is how he told you/how you found out, and then left you to deal with it. That speaks volumes.

    He put his girlfriend in a situation where you had to react to BIG information like that in public. Sounds exactly again like the "group/pack" mentality in hawaii as already mentioned above, and someone who is very, very easily lead.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,065 ✭✭✭crazygeryy


    Regardless, wether it was right or wrong your boyfriend is a clown for telling you.he wasnt going out with u at the time and you didn't need to know.if he did feel the need to tell you surely he can tell by now if u would take it well or not.
    All of these feelings you are having now could have been avoided if he just kept his big mouth shut.
    As the other poster said its up to you now to decide wether you can deal with it or not.
    Imo what he did was wrong but it was in the past when he didn't even know you so you are the one who has to decide where u go from here.
    If he was convicted of robbery 10 years ago he served his time, then he met you ,ye both fell in love and you found out
    all about it yesterday, would you dump him then as well?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 90 ✭✭bouncebouncey


    This doesn't really boil down to whether or not you (or people in general) view prostitution as okay. Or whether or not you or anyone else speculates as to whether she was happy enough to go along with it, or couldn't say no, or whatever else as that is pretty intangible.

    It's basically a question of your boyfriends moral compass. Yes we've all done things we're not proud of and everyone has a past. However this is extreme IMO.

    At some stage one of these three lads said 'hey lets call a prostitute/go kerb crawling and then we can all f**k her one after the other'. They then had to ring an escorting agency/go walking the streets until they found one. Wait around for her to show/bring her back to the apartment. Then finally start to have sex with her one after the other either in each others presence (which seems most likely) or at best in an adjoining room. This wasn't spur of the moment stuff regardless of what anyone thinks. The one of the lads cums on her, against her wishes, and they think it's funny.

    Sorry OP that's not standard skeleton in the closet stuff. While I haven't done a survey I'll take a wild stab in the dark and say, first off, the average man on the street has never been with a prostitute. Never mind been with one at the same time as his two friends. And I doubt the average man on the street would find the idea appealing nor would they find the story ending with one of these friends being verbally abusive to the prostitute and cumming on her to be hilarious either.

    I can't tell you how to feel. I can't tell you how to act towards him. However I can tell you that you are free to react in as extreme a manner, within the bounds of normal behaviour, as you want. Freak out, break up, tell him to f**k off etc.... This isn't something you have to be nice about.

    Also OP you made mention of being no angel and having had one night stands so not being able to take the moral high ground. This isn't anything like a one night stand. Not even close. Not even close to being close!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 714 ✭✭✭PlainP


    In my opinion you badgered your BF to tell you this story, he said to you that you would not talk to him again. You heard what he had to say and didn't like it.

    Regardless of what the story was your BF knew you well enough to know that you would not like it yet you wanted to hear it anyway. You should have trusted your BF and not made him tell you in the first place.

    This incident happened years before he even knew you. For some people being with a prostitue is not such a big deal, more like a rite of passage.

    What about other people he has been with in the past? Would you scrutinize them in the same light as well.

    You need to either build a bridge or say goodbye.

Sorry it that's all very tmi, but it just sounds so demeaning. I can't even bear thinking about it, ugh.
    I was just really quiet after he told me this, and I said "but you could have HIV or anything" and he was like (realising at this point that I was less than impressed??) "no of course I used a condom, and I've been checked since obviously".
    So i'm ok in that regard? I just feel utterly disgusted by this, to the point I don't think I can be with him. It just sounds so absolutely sick and twisted to me. Am I wrong in thinking this? I don't know the details of the prostitute, but I can't help thinking she was used.

    He's never been anything but respectful to me (sexually and otherwise). I just don't know what to think. I mean, I know this is in his past, so I don't know if I should let it go? He was almost reluctant to tell the story at first, but I pressed it out of him (obviously I wasn't expecting this). He kept saying "but you won't talk to me anymore after". At the same time, he pretty much told the story in a light-hearted manner
    I didn't want to prove him right, but i can't take this. I just said nothing and he said "ok, this is awkward, I'm gonna go for a while, i'll catch you later".
    So I said "ok" and he's gone.

    He 26, i'm 22. This happened 3 years ago. We've been together nearly a year.
    I mean, I was with 4 people before him, I'm not exactly virgin Mary or anything. I've had one night stands, so i'm not sure if I can take the moral high ground? But what the f*ck? I can't get this out of my head.
    The funny thing is, i'm not really intrinsically against prostitution or anything, but the fact my boyfriend did this bothers me so much. Is that hypocritical? I feel they used her to the highest extent. I'm not sure if that's even the case, or it's just the fact my own bf did this that bothers me. I don't get how he can be so perfect with me, yet treat a girl like that though. I mean obviously it was consensual, but still. I don't know if I'm over-reacting or if I should be disgusted by this? Maybe I am over-reacting. He really is a lovely person and this is shocking to me. And the fact he seems to think this is some hilarious thing that happened..

    Sorry for the long post. He hasn't called me or anything yet, he knows I'm mad. I don't know what to do..

    @ sunflower
    Says it all right there....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 231 ✭✭jaspertheghost


    it aint that big a deal really....he was a single man having some fun....you have 2 choices either decide you cant deal with his past and dump him...or get over it and stay together....and as you said you were no virgin mary yourself in the past....but the past is best left where it belongs..so if ya really like the guy you should sit down and talk about it then put it behind ye

    It wasn't just a straightforward being with a prostitute though was it? Himself and his mates roasted the woman, there is a big difference. An ex boyfriend of mine was with a prostitute in the past, it didn't bother me. But him roasting a possibly reluctant working girl with his mates WOULD bother me. A lot and that is my right.

    And OP's right too. OP doesn't just have to acrt dumbly obedient and ask nothing and 'trust' her boyfriend and never ask questions, what kind of deal is that? Nice dopey, oblivious, gullible, obedient, ask-no-questions people get shat on in this life. You've goto to be a bit smarter than that. As it is she now knows something salient she didn't know before, something that is possibly a deal breaker for her. She has the right to make informed decisions about the man she is seeing and about her own sexual health too.
    PlainP wrote: »

    That's disingenuous. Nowhere in the OP's description has she mentioned she is nosey or pushy about her boyfriends past conquests. To try to draw a parallel between his past girlfriends and roasting a prostitute with his friends is comparing apples and oranges and frankly a weak argument. Trying to paint OP as some sort of hysterical bunny boiler is just an attempt to distract from the inconvenient and unpaletable truth that this lads story is beyond the pale on many levels.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12 Targer


    I want to add to my first post where I don't think I was clear:
    OP this is a MAJOR RED FLAG for you, the point I want to make is that what you need to decide is if this reflects the man he was then or the man he is now. Your relationship is only viable if you can prove to yourself that he is not the same person now as he was then; i also agree with the other poster that he should not have left you to deal with it alone, he should have stayed to discuss it, not run away.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 714 ✭✭✭PlainP

    I don't see where I tried to paint anyone as a hysterical bunny boiler..

    The OP said she doesn't have a problem with prostitution just the fact that her BF was with one this is double standards IMO.

    What the lads got up to is not beyond the pale on so many levels. People get up to all sorts in the bedroom and just because this happend with a prostitute does not make it wrong. It was consenting sexual acts between consenting adults. Just because you don't agree with it doesn't make it wrong.

    I don't think it is double standards. Most people don't mind things going on as long as it doesn't effect them. And this is when something has effected the OP directly.

    The fact of the matter is, the prostitute is being paid to consent. Not actually consenting. Being told to be okay with what is happening because of circumstance and the need for money is not consenting to having three men have sex with you. The OP even said the friend before her OH came on her and she got angry. That is not being ok with what is happening.

    I'm not going to pull this off topic with talk of why people become prostitutes.

    The OP needs to talk to her BF tell him how she feels. Explain to him how this has affected her. But she also needs to understand that the past is the past and she has also has stated how good he is with her.

    I think she shouldn't give up on this relationship just because of something that happened in his past.

    What about that? You try to draw a parallel between people in his past and the incident he described? You used the word 'scrutinized'. You said she 'badgered' the story out of him. If you weren't making her out to be overly nosey into his past, then what was your point?

    I think her point has gone over your head. I don't think the prostitution is her problem exactly.

    I don't know it was consenting adults though, do I? And neither do you. we know the woman 'got mad' with at least one non-consensual act.

    As for 'the bedroom', I couldn't give a monkeys if consensual adults orgied their brains out till they couldn't walk. That's their own business, but three drubk lads abusing a prostitute is not the same thing. When I talk about abusing, I'm specifically referring to one of them cumming on her against her wishes and another of them calling her 'sh1t'. It doesn't souns as though she was in control and their attitude shows they didn't care too much about her consent. It's all just a bit too vague and blurry when multiple punters roast one girl. I can't break it down any further for you than that.

    Even if this had not been a prostitute but a woman who had agreed to this because she wanted to out of her own personal interest rather than money. This was still 3 men, including the OP's boyfriend taking turns having sex with a woman whose enjoyment or personal boundaries they were obviously not in the slightest concerned about. That alone would be raising alarm bells for most women if they heard it about someone they thought they knew.

    I am not a prude my any manner or means but looking for a prostitute taking her back and degrading her with two of your friends crosses many boundaries for me. On the other hand they were drunk and should have known better .... alot better. Not that drinking excuses it.

    Maybe yes its all very screwed up. Its a big shock to the system. It was long before you were on the scene. The real question is can you move on because if you cant then you had better end it now than harbouring it for the rest of your life.

    I had a friend who could get over one of my problems (not my fault I didnt cause it) and he used to pick and pick and pick. I dont have that friend any more ........ and he is the poorer for it.

    Get over it and move on and DONT EVER BRING IT UP AGAIN or get a new boyfriend. I cant advise you anymore than this because I have never been in this situation.

    OK in fairness bouncebouncey does make a very good point. It's not standard skeleton in the closet kind of stuff.

    It does seem a bit sketchy when bouncebouncey describes it. How do you think he is in general? Have you ever noticed anything else that would make you question his morals?

    Op I think another poster mentioned it but being with a prostitute says a lot about what kind of a guy he is. My ex went to Amsterdam with a massive group of his friends when he was 21. I pestered him into telling me which ones had been with a prostitute or not and it was very revealing and not all that shocking.
    There is a certain lack of respect for yourself that would allow you to do something like that.

    Peer pressure isn't an excuse. From your post i get that he was 23 not 13! The idea had to be cooked up by some one and all it would have taken was for him to say, ah now lads cop on or ah sure yous head on and i'll sit this one out don't want to catch anything or whatever!

    OP here. Thanks for your replies guys.

    Ok, here's what happened (as far as I know). They were going up and down the boulevard drinking and stuff, and there was lots of street girls. They joked about getting hookers, but then my bf said the other guys were getting more and more serious about it.
    So, they went outside the bar, picked 'their girls' and my bf had oral sex with this girl (now that I think about it I have no idea WHERE) while the other guys did stuff with 'their girls'. Anyway, 'his' prostitute left, and his other friend's did too, but one of the girls stayed and was asking them to come back to her apartment. He said he just "went along with it" and once they got there she was all "who first?".

    His friends weren't in the room, they went out on the balcony to smoke. He said he was only gonna let her suck him off (sorry again, tmi) but ended up saying "what the heck" and he had sex with her. Then he came out to the balcony, and one of the other guys went in..etc. : /

    To answer some peoples' concerns, I have no doubt that it wasn't "rape", but from my point of view, they took serious advantage. It makes my stomach turn. What sort of girl f*cks 3 guys off the street for money? I can't help but think of her situation, it bothers me that he wouldn't consider this wrong. In my opinion, it's so much worse than some lonely guy getting a escort. All I can think about is the three of them having a laugh and f*cking this girl just because they could. Also, at the time, both his friends had girlfriends, and though my bf was single, I just think the whole thing is f*cked.

    Anyway, he rang me last night and he said "I left because I didn't want to say anything else stupid". But It was as if he kind of had a problem with me being mad over this!! He was kind of impatient on the phone almost. He just kept saying "it was a long time ago, I was hammered" and stuff. He was apologetic, but he doesn't seem to 'get' how angry I am over this. I know to a certain extent, he knows it was wrong; he kept saying "no really, you're gonna hate me though", but I can't explain it, he was quite jovial about it. I kept pestering him to tell me because I was expecting some funny, drunken story. I kept saying "oh come on! How bad could it be? So long as you didn't sleep with your sister or something I'm not gonna care!". THIS didn't even enter my mind.

    I feel a little sick talking/thinking about tbh..all I've done all day is think about it, and I've been ignoring his calls for the most part. Please keep in mind that this is a good guy, he's not a "bad person". He's just a funny, normal guy, not the kind of "creep" I would associate with sh*t like this. It's shocking. I haven't really talked to him about how HE feels about it, but I need to calm down more before we talk about this.
    Tbh, I'm surprised he even told me, what sort of idiot would think their GIRLFRIEND would be ok with this.

    Anyway, long post again! Thanks for your replies though, very helpful xx

    I can understand your problem with the whole thing. Ive noticed over the years that even though some men would be totally against the idea of prostitution, its more of a moral objection to the trade than concern for the women who are in that unfortunate position.
