That's not always the case, though. I was stationed at a tiny, secret USAF base on the Black Sea in Turkiye in the late 1960s. As an official "isolated" base, no women were stationed there. Not so isolated, though. It was near a city of about 200,000 people.
Everyone was assigned to that base for 15 months. There was no possibility of meeting women from that city, because we were Americans and the locals were Muslims. It just didn't happen. However, that country operated official brothels, populated by women who had accumulated debts. Don't get me started on the immorality of that crap.
So, quite a hefty percentage of the USAF guys made regular visits to that government-run brothel, generally called "The Compound." What it was was a debtors prison for women, who could apparently pay off their debt by working as prostitutes. I can't even describe how ugly that seemed to me. I learned about "The Compound" shortly after arriving. Lots of young guys bragged about their visits to it. If you refused to go there, you got called ugly homophobic names by the guys who frequented it.
So, apparently, some men are just fine about bragging about paying for sex. Fortunately, most men on that base did not visit "The Compound." So we were in good company. I was 21 years old when I arrived there. 22 when I left. 15 months without any partners. It wasn't all that difficult, really. I never had any respect for any of the men who fell into that trap.
