    Perhaps not so much pay for sex, but I do seem to recall reading an article on bbc reporting on the rise of high powered career women paying for 'dates' to social occasions and such as they claimed they didn't have the time / energy to maintain relationships or get dates in the conventional way, but who did it to maintain an image.

    Crazy stuff..

    Men are often happy to cheat with women less attractive than their OH, I think women usually cheat with men more attractive than their OH.

    No offence but any woman is better off without them. They're giving in pretty easy themselves by actively pursuing sex from her like

    What's wrong with wanting sex when you meet someone you have chemistry with?

    Well then you teach them.

    Do you think that is always possible and what if they don't like the things that get you going and say no?

    Nothing, maybe I misread your post but you seem to be saying that they take a woman out, try and get sex from her but wouldn't have any interest in taking the relationship further if she 'gives in too easy', which is some bullsh1t behaviour

    A lot of the time it is, but if the person isn't satisfied in the relationship/ sex life then they can either try to fix it (whatever that entails for the couple) or else end it.

    I remember seeing a BBC documentary back in 2001 that took a look at male prostitutes in one of the states in Australia where it was legal.

    The guy (married) set himself up after losing his job and his wife was doing his bookings, etc answering questions from prospective clients. Yes he has a long penis, oh 8 inches and its very thick!

    Crazy stuff indeed...

    Woman don't have to because it's so freely available to us any time we want it regardless of how attractive we are.

    I agree with other posters..I would have much more interest in a **** buddy than a string of one nighters. .

    I don't think women paying for sex is as often occurrence as the other way around but there certainly are some. What would gigolos do for living if there weren't any! As somebody mentioned before, there seems to be a rise of professional women paying for 'escorts' to accompany them to social events etc. How often do the deals include sex I don't know. It all sounds a bit mad to me but I guess it depends on the lifestyle of said people.

    I can see where you got that from. I'm more talking about guys I have discussed this with, who go out looking for some attention and will take it if it is offered (not necessarily pursuing) but where they might have at first thought she was dating material, the fact that they initiated sex on the first night they would not date them, as they assume she would do it with anyone.

    Where as, a guy is almost expected to want sex from the off and is not necessarily pre-judged for trying?

    A lot of guys don't try and fix it though. They find that they can't talk to their partner about it or they won't listen, so either seek it else where or are miserable.

    I think reading all the casual, generalised contempt the sexes have for each other is payment enough. :(

    "I think women who have sex the first night I meet them are a disgrace, and that includes when the man they are having sex with is me on my first night meeting them."

    Please let me know where it's so freely available to the unattractive?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,779 ✭✭✭Spunge


    Yes they pay for it by having to give birth.

    If only we could come up with some sort of voucher system, you know? Where the more vouchers you have the more people want to have sex with you? Could something like that be implemented? Like some sort of currency?

    Just awaiting that guy who keeps re-registering to go on about how women demand only male models and don't go near any guys less good-looking, even if the women in question look like Mutha Bacon.

    Are there many male prostitutes?

    There may be, but I would assume there would be a much bigger market for male prostitutes on the gay scene, rather than for women.

    Personally speaking, as a woman, I would feel utterly humiliated having to pay someone to have sex with me. If the guy doesn't find me sexually attractive, then I wouldn't feel sexually attractive. Sex is all about chemistry and mutual pleasure for me, it's not just about the act itself.

    Would you pay to have an itch on your back scratched if you couldn't scratch it and no one else would scratch it for free?

    For a lot of people though, there has to be some degree of attraction before they can even get into the sex zone. Personally I would not be able to have sex with someone I don't fancy. I don't have to be utterly bowled over by them, but there has to be some attraction.

    That's true for some, but for others no sex is worse than sex with someone who doesn't even fancy them, hence there is a thriving sex industry. It's the least bad option for some.

    If having your back scratched was-as is stated in the post-'not just about the act itself' but equally as much about enjoying finding someone who enjoys scratching your back, would you bother paying for it?

    If your mother died and you missed her cooking, and you paid someone to cook the same dinner that she used to cook, would you think-ah, this is exactly like my mother being alive?

    If my aunty had a bollocks she'd be my uncle like, but so what? The analogies some people come up with for sex are mind-blowing

    The clever thing about humans, and apes and monkeys and crows, is that we can always come up with a tool for that sort of thing.

    Maybe that is a difference. Perhaps the guys are more concerned with finding the woman hot and not thinking about if she fancy's him or not, as long as he can get her to do the deed.

    guys?

    That's what sex toys were invented for ;)

    Your logic is faulty.

    My logic? That back-scratching is not a suitable analogy for sex because in a lot of cases, including the case to which you were responding, the enjoyment is not purely or not primarily physical? How so?
