OK, so why DO men frequent prostitutes?

175. Therapy.

I never visited a prostitute before my divorce - which was my mistake.

Afterwards, I have only visited 4 or 5, some of them multiple times, but I found them to be very comforting. They were very reassuring in the ways that I needed reassurance. Some of them I spent most of our time together just talking - we were naked and cuddling, but I was able to open up and talk like I never could have with a woman that ... well, that I felt like I was being judged by.

They all knew how to ask the right questions, and how to "draw me out" and get me to talk.

From talking to them, some of their clients are the "I just want sex" type, but the vast majority just really want to talk. The sex is a "plus" - even though that is what they paid for.

Perhaps, because it's paid for and is going to happen no matter what, the pressure is off! So the guy can be himself, instead of what he thinks the girl expects.

Regardless, every prostitute I have known was more of a therapist than a "piece of meat".
