Men’s motives for buying sex are hotly contested among researchers. Some believe the practice serves as a salve for common psychological afflictions, such as an unfulfilled craving for sex or romance. Others, meanwhile, paint a dimmer portrait of johns, believing they are driven by chauvinistic motives, such as a desire to dominate and control women.
Of course, the simplest explanation for men buying sex is that they like it. After all, people are generally willing to pay for activities they enjoy as much as they do sex. On the other hand, a man can usually get sex for free in the context of an ordinary intimate relationship. So why pay good money for it, especially given the social and health risks of having sex with a prostitute? Are all johns so unappealing that they cannot get sex any other way?"
Fellas! Every pay for sex? Why or why not?
Ladies, would YOU ever pay for sex or take money for it? Why or why not?

every guy pays for sex... most just go through the game and dance of dates and dinner (paying the whole time) before they get anything... others just figure, 'oh well, I'll be paying either way, so why go through the trouble and expence of a date and relationship when I can just fork over the cash and get what I want NOW.'

Reverend papa bear says what most women want.
Most women, I have observed, want it all and they want it at the same time.
They want to be the pure virgin and the town whore and at the same time. One gal said "It's like I have this angle on one shoulder and this little devil on the other... "You see, they say it's multi-tasking.

Ive never had sex with a prostitute but I guess its a perfectly reasonable way of avoiding all the hassle of going through dates and actually trying.
I like trying, and I like actually turning my girl on. I disagree with all the people that say that its stupid.
What do you mean its stupid? If by stupid you mean pointless, then your wrong. Imagine all the time and effort you save when you get pay for sex.
Ive known friends who have spent weeks trying to get with a girl only to see them fail at the end and lose the girl to someone else. I wouldn't blame them if at the end, they went to some hot woman and just simply paid for sex...

I still think it is absolutely STUPID to pay for sex!
You see, if you would look at a women as being something more than for your physical enjoyment then you'd get all the sex you want!
The ONLY women who give men sex for money are hookers and gold diggers.
By the way MOST women want to make love, not be food for your tool!

because most normal guys can't get laid that easy and don't want to wait for women who don't want to do it immediately. Plus it gets rid of the rejection and going out night after night to try to get laid. it's a sure thing without all the headaches. well worth the money.

Men are stupid, so they do stupid things. Even if there is some psychological aspect to give some rational explanation to their decisions, using a prostitute means they're taking the easiest way out to solve their problems, rather than working on what their real problem is.
Whatever your reason, it's stupid.

I agree. I think protitution should be legalized, but at this point it's a state decision. States are free to vote on it- they did in Cali, for example, during this year's election. (It didn't pass.) The amount of money that could be made is mindblowing.
Can you imagine if they legalized prostitution and put some of that money towards finding a cure for HIV/AIDS and other STDS? Can you imagine brothels with tuition reimbursement programs? There is so much potential for good, but people are afraid of the things they consider "evil".

Well to be a little off topic. This is a huge untapped tax generating resource for the goverment. They could collect a licensing tax and usage tax. This would allow these people to have an honest profession and not have to hide and be exploited. Besides the government needs the money to bail everyone else out.

What I fail to understand is why most men don't just jerk off instead of going through all the hassle of involving a person that has had countless other d*cks inside her with whatever diseases and issues they undoubtedly carry.
I've found sluts to generally be extremely broken creatures on the inside, and that is the ultimate turnoff...well, unless your one of those twisted types that finds power in pretending you're in control of such broken creatures as they exploit in porn videos.
Gross.
Perhaps you just don't have the imagination I do? If you can effortlessly pretend to have sex with whichever (or any combination of them) girl you desire in your mind, and your little co-pilot doesn't know the difference as long as you pull that trigger, why go through all the b.s. of exposing yourself to such broken and used human spirits?
Gross.
I have a life unlike most in that I was actually a nightclub producer/promoter in Hollywood despite the fact that I have relatively conservative sexual morals. It was weird, because I always had hot women throwing themselves at me for one reason or another (namely because I could get them into my (or most other) clubs and provide them with any party favors they desired...possibly because I was an underwear model too), but I would always just politely decline the advances and retreat to hanging out in the DJ booth instead.
To be honest, their overly friendly behavior disgusted and scared me because of the realization that if they were acting that easy to me, they have acted that easy to any number of other guys before me, and the odds of STD's etc. being involved in that equation are frightening.
Ewww gross.
As such, I would sneak out of the club and just go home and jerk off rather than immerse myself in the ??? world these strangers came from. And these are pretty, really hot club girls, not real-life whores for Christ's sake. Nonetheless, their behavior disgusted me because it was so valueless and reckless.
Sure, given my extreme life story, I've slept with women just for the hell of it, but I always found myself going WTF am I doing? afterwards, and so consequently I realized that just because I can where others can't doesn't necessarily mean it's the smart thing to do.
Sex with worthwhile women in worthwhile relationships is much more gratifying, so I really can't understand why people would whore themselves out so easily when they have so little to gain and so much to lose in the long-run. Perhaps they just don't think that far ahead.
I have noticed that "live for the day" mantra to be quite common in stupid people I've met whose lives are F*cked Up Beyond All Recognition by my standards.
Meeting the people I met in the club scene painted a very tragic picture of what many of those "easy" types of girls lives were really like, and so the thought of prostitutes, strippers, and porn stars is not something that turns me on.
I guess most people that partake in such things are much more self-centered than I and don't have that "conscious" concern for the well-being of those they interact with as I do, but I just can't wrap my head around the idea of having sex with someone I don't trust much less respect.
It's risky business kids, and I'm really not so sure the pros outweigh the cons.

Ever since the "founding fathers" commandeered this land, we've been told sex is dirty and bad and off limits... Hell - at a young age I was warned that "white girls will give me worms..." LOL We have this thing where we want (and get) what we are not supposed to have... Banned movies, illegal weapons, drugs, sex...
We may invite these sexual transactions because they involve very little ambiguity.
With our girlfriends, fiancees, wives we have to guess, beg and barter for tonight to be a get-down night... With the other set-up, as long as we have $, we men can have "shake-n-bake" EVERY night! Look - there is an old saying, "If you don't scratch a dog's ears every now and again, he will eventually leave the porch..." - 3 years ago

Occasionally we all get sex, you meet someone on the street, in a disco or bar, you like each other and have a night stand. Not you or her is paying any money for it, it's just pure fun.
Made this premise, isn't smart from a woman to get fun just like that and on top of it getting payed?
Somebody might say where is her dignity as woman if she accepts money for having fun?
For fun it's ok to have sex one night and we do not know each other tomorrow anymore but for money will it become less noble?
My question is:
What's noble about having a night stand in the first place? - 3 years ago

But To seduce a Goddess of pleasure and erotic sensual desire is an art form that many men fear they lack, when the truth is All are capable of extreme passion for loving the one you are with in the moment!

WHY PAY STRAIT- OUT FOR SEX instead of going threw the trial and err of old fashion sentimental dating, LAYERS OF THE ONION, NO TWO ARE THE SAME! Everyone’s answer differs, mine is "If you can find her (a prostitute who a tour is ok with) It seems smarter and easier than pursuing and being denied." besides it beats self-service.

I think men just in general are too obsessed with sex....Many reasons why they love sex is because women cater to their needs it usually isn't as much about the woman as it is for the man. This is partially us, womens, fault because we do not demand more and we do not stand up for our image. Men need to learn that sex...is not about recieving it is about giving. We, as women, need to start standing up for our needs and rights, rather then knowing this is an easy buck!!!!

some men need to pay for sex because they don't know how to approach a lady properly. Women can really intimidate some men, especially now that they are thought to be equal. Then there are the women who become young sluts and then turn into whores after an abuse or two. That becomes all they know and becomes the means to their end. There is much more wrapped in this then the simple men like to pay for sex because it feels good. Sex can empower a once weak man, uncover a new confidence, or even give him an infinite happiness along the likelihood of love. Therefore we love sex no matter what it costs -- and you need money for sure if you want to have sex in a relationship too, for dates, and gifts, etc.

Man there are a lot of gender generalizations going on in this thread on both sides.
Hey guys, you wonder why you cant get sex? Its not because you dont have enough cash or women are all cold bitches or they are all 'emotional baggage', it might be because you have that attitude though. Trust us we can tell when you are one of those guys that thinks all women are the same cold prudes and we want nothing to do with you. Change you attitude and you might actually get laid a lot easier.
Women also need to get over the idea that men are just sex crazed idiots that they have to battle. Sex is a good thing and should be enjoyed as much as physically possible! A lot of girls just get sucked into that propaganda that we are supposed to hate sex or something...which is total bull.
Ultimately Ive got no problems with prostitution....hell I think it should be legalized. I just think that people need to get over their preconceived generalizations about sex and gender....we've been trained so long to think that sex is a battle ground between men and women. men are trained to think that they'll never get enough sex from women and women are trained to think that we should never talk or think about sex otherwise we'll be labeled as whores. Trust me...if we all got over this stupid bullshit, there would be a lot more f**ckin going on.

Because its such a rush. This is the only shopping trip your man will find enjoyable, if not down right addicting. Then once you find the one you want theres only a few paper money things separating you from your fantasy. A lot of times they sell drugs too and you can kill 2 birds with one stone. I would not do it now however in these economic times, but I bet the price went way down if you know what I mean.

The numbers are much higher. The stats only show the people caught and the people who admit to it.
Most guys I know who do this sort of thing say that it would cost that much or more once they start dating to get some anyway, so they might as well pay their money and get straight to it.
They just want the sex and none of the other stuff that comes with dating.

Actually, men buy sex because their psychology is easily manipulated to believe that sex relieve's their pain of hate, it's the psychology of Stockholm Syndrome, the bully of the pass on the abuse's they've had themselves onto the next victim, instead of returning the hate mechanism onto the perpetrator of the abuse. Very old story about how Schitzophrenic's use a Munchausen by proxy system to make themselve's look like a Virgin that's paid for the right to abuse someone else with their hate, or rather, how they keep a Speenhmalander Law of Poverty in reverse psychology as an excuse to prostitute a Nation!

Personally I would never pay for a hooker. I can control my lusts enough not too. Plus I think its a turn off too have sex with a women while she is just wanting to make money and wishing she had enough to change her life. I have friends that go to the Red Light in Amsterdam and I have other friends that like i smoke in Amsterdam but in no way would ever consider paying for sex.

Prostitution has been around since the dawn of time. This has probably been said a multitude of times, but it does seem that a large part of prostitution is that men desire sex very much. It seems like an inherent quality (or maybe I just speak for myself.)
I have never paid for a prostitute. On the other hand, I have also never had sex. If I would admit that to a lot of males it would be good jokes, which I have never really understood. Seems to a lot of people like a right of passage.
I think our culture sends a lot of mixed signals about relationships and the importance that we place upon certain aspects. I desire sex because I just do, but this is also related to a deeply social drive to be accepted by the common populace (especially other males). I would rather meet someone and have a consistent, more long term relationship, but the urge is just so strong sometimes. I think it is ultimately an acceptance thing. Whether it is a prostitute, a one-night stand, or a long term relationship, its all about human interaction. Even spending one night with a person, even under the context of money, will make you feel better about yourself. And obviously their is a pleasure factor there for both people involved. I would rather have someone I know better (more trust, etc.) The world is sometimes a lonely place though, and sometimes even our best efforts end in disappointment. I don't condone it and unfortunately think that a lot of people don't get substantial love in their lives, and this probably makes someone feel better. We are human after all.

not to justify anything: but prostitution is men playing out their instincts. because human females tend to do the great majority of child rearing activities. human male reproductive strategy is best served having a multiple women pregnant at a time. how this plays out in a very complex human society varies. men still have this "leftover instinct", which is why they seek undue power/control over females. prostitution has probably only been around for as long as humans have had daily regular contact with strangers (ie: when first cities appeared ~ between 8000 - 6000 years ago).

Prostitution is one of the oldest trades. It exists across all cultures so there is clearly a legitimate human demand and a willing supply.
As long as women aren't forced into the trade, both parties are careful, both sides set out their expectations and neither partner is short changed, there is little difference between prostitution and any other business agreement.

Its not that men are hornier than women, its due to the fact that women have been socially conditioned to inhibit their sexual desires so as to avoid being considered a ''whore'' or a ''slut''. But lets face it, many women, and not all, solicit their bodies in many ways, but i wont touch that subject. Now, I'm 24 and I haven't been to a strip club, let alone sleep with a prostitute, I just think thats detestable, I'm perfectly satisfied with the effort of getting a woman to sleep with me for free. Which brings me to my point. Many men find navigating through the obstacle that is the female mind, a daunting task. Some women like to play mental games, and put up resistance so as to avoid looking like a ''slut''. It can be annoying, especially when your intentions are good, its not like we're trying to hurt you girls or anything., but anyway. Most men get fed up of the emotional obstacles and ''games'', so they bypass all that and get a hooker, saves a lot of time, and probably money, considering the amount of money we spend on wining and dining on any given weekend.

Everybody knows that prostitution is the oldest profession on the face of the earth, the reason why the police arrest so many people soliciting sex or prostitution is because here in america in some states is ilegal.
Another reason, I believe is that some men are affraid to ask their wifes to perform certain acts in bed example: kinki stuffs.
For me to be honest Im in favor of prostitution , I believe this women are giving a service to the comunity in a way that they help some men to release their stress.
Some people believe that prostitution is a sin that should not be allowed but I believe if we legalized prostitution we wont have that many rapists and childmolester on the streets.
I think that a girlfriend or a wife should be a lady of the bed but in the bed she should a whore.
And all you women out there dont look at us like we were perverts , if your boyfriend ask you to do something in bed and you dont feel comfortable talk with your boyfriend or husband
and let them know how you feel.
And by the way Im a die hard fan of strippers and hookers so dont get me wrong.
Oh forgot to say something else there are women who are married and behave like prostitutes, why ? well they only gave sex to their husbands when they buy things for them , in other words they are getting paid for sex. - 3 years ago

I think a small number of men pay for sex for chauvinistic purposes. Surely most men who use prostitutes do it because they see it as handy or something....

Because women dont pay for sex?
both do, so why write about only one sex doing this?either way i never would, besides the fact that it goes against my moral beliefs, it is dangerous.
also my money can be spent in much better ways.

This article points out that women pay for sex, men just do it more, by surprising numbers.

When doesn't a man pay for sex? Few women will even bat an eyelash at you unless you buy them a drink/ coffee/ dinner. Hell most of the time I pay for not-sex. "Oh thanks for the coffee, I've gotta run and meet up with some friends."

I don't think all men purchase sex, but for those who do, I think, and it's just my thought. That first of all they want it. Scientist have said that men think of sex in some form or another every 3 minutes. That's alot of thought power. And buying sex is the lazy way out. They don't have to be involved, they do not have to please her, they just pay and get their rockets fired. With a girlfriend or a spouse, it's emotional and they do have to put forth some sort of effort to please her if they want her to be receptive in the future to their sexual needs. And lastly, sorry guys, there is the Rover affect. Some men are just selfish, lazy and doggish at home and that pours water all over romance. Want more free sex at home? Do the dishes every now and then, take out some garbage, help out more and then maybe she'll have more energy when she finally makes it to bed. Hell I know the sight of my husband taking out the garbage turns me on. LOL

At least "Dog saves other injured dog lying on a highway" didn't make it to TV. I feel like we dodged a bullet on that one.

Not primarily. If that were my primary reason I would try stunts like this to get attention, but I don't. I'm here to put up information you don't see on the MSM and to get away from crap like this with the half naked pictures on them that insult the intelligence of men and women to entice votes just for the hell of it, and mindless questions that have no importance or substance. Because if I want to see that all I have to do is turn on the TV which i try actually not to do. THAT's why I'm here.

"stunts like this to get attention, but I don't"
Stunts like WHAT? This article is from Scientific American, the whole thing is like a 3 page psychological study questioning our society and urges for sex.
As far as doing it for "attention" goes, that's just a load of BS. I post like crazy on a variety of different topics; what gets voted up is what OTHER people are interested in.
I think it's really shitty for you to say something like this. I haven't been on Current for very long but I love it, and I try to post as many interesting things as possible that question our society. Just because YOU don't like it doesn't mean it's not worthy of people's time.
To say that I'm just trying to "get on TV" is ridiculous as well- I never even "share" any articles by emailing notices to anyone or anything. I let the stories get voted up by themselves without asking anyone's help. I've never given anyone a reason to think that my motivations for posting things on Current are just to get on TV, so why would you say that?

I'm with you Delia, I thought this was a place to start conversations on topics that are interesting to who ever chooses to read them... Its simple, if you're not interested, don't participate.
and a side note to you Delia - I enjoy your posts, keep doing what you do.

I have to agree. Delia your posts are consistently interesting and I enjoy seeing what you have to say.
Jan please read this... I think that you may be reacting solely to the picture, and overreacting I may add. But if you did take the time to read it then I don't know why you can't understand how people are so interested in sex.
It's one activity that almost all people engage in and it's one of the least openly and seriously talked about subjects I can think of. So when people get the chance to discuss and see other people's ideas, especially in such an unfiltered environment as the internet, they're going to take advantage.
It's certainly one of the most significant activities in our society and its discussion deserves and open mind... What I'm trying to say is that there are so many other reasons that the article made it to TV than what you're mentioning and that's what the discussion should be about. Notice that you're the only person who mentioned anything about the "sex appeal" of the article.

Hey if you dont like the story dont click on it or comment on it! The stories that make it on the news show are a result of users clicking on them and commenting....so essentially you reading this page and commenting on this article means that youre part of the reason why its at the top of the page and on TV!
Current is for people to post and discuss what they find interesting whether is genocide in Africa or the practical applications of Silly Putty. If you dont want to participate in a particular discussion then dont...there are plenty of topics on the front page or even on the news show that I never click on.

You know what Jan? Delia is right! When you put up something you THINK is good or informative, it gets shot down full of holes.
But just put something up pertaining to sex, and BINGO, you hit number one!
Jan, I have known you for a long time off and on, but Delia is my friend too! I don't have ANYTHING hit TV like you do, and you don't hear me complaining about it.
(at least not anymore, Why? Because it is useless!)
As I said Jan, we can't ALL be like you!
