One poll said 14% of men have paid for sex at one point in their life. Seems low. How many more are not admitting it?

Depends what your definition of “seeing” sex workers is. Viewing poem would be considered In Some circles as that, even though it doesn’t fit in my circle. In Icey Locos world it’s not seeing them as long as you are pimping them out and collecting money from them, hence turning hoes out.

If it's on a regular basis It'd probably be low - for one it's illegal; then there's the cost; then there's the STD concern; then the availability since it's illegal; then fear of divorce and losing your family - the US is still not too P4P accepting compared to other nations.

If one is talking about % that have ever done it then it's a lot higher.

Prostitutes aren't the only women classified as sex workers. Strippers, for example, are sex workers.

Every guy I know well enough to have this discussion has paid for it more than a few times. I'd say anyone who denies it - there's a 75% chance they're lying.

Winex, yes I meant to use a broad term.

Papi, you seem to be implying that a woman might divorce her husband because he fucked a prostitute; seems like a stretch.

It's like those surveys of how many men masturbate. Who believes them?

Women divorce their husbands for a lot less.

I know there are obviously women who would divorce over cheating. I was just kidding. It is ridiculous though. As long as he was being safe who cares?

Been divorced twice. I've paid a ridiculous amount for sex. My big break through came when I realized it is cheaper to pay per encounter. (not to mention the benefit of variety.)

100% of men have “seen” “sex workers” in the streets and malls and public places at the store, supermarket. But they may don’t know they are sex workers.

99% of men have thought of “seeing” a “known”/“advertised” sex worker and pay her to have sex, but realistically and probably only 50% of them have attempted it.

1% of men pay high end escorts for the sake of pleasure. Pay Mistresses/Sugar Babies for daily needs. “Pay” Wives as trophies and to bear offspring.

Almost 100% would not admit “paying” because we live in a society in denial.

People seldom get divorced due to infidelity, as infidelity is more a symptom than the cause of a bad marriage. Even it they do, its because of the lie and not the sex.

Cj's response reminded me of a funny encounter I had on a business trip to Detroit.

Before going out, I had scouted escorts in Detroit but not really done anything more. I saw an ad for a visiting escort and, wouldn't you know it, I was checking into the same hotel at the same time as she was.

I went down to the bar and was having dinner and drinks when she walks in and sits next to me at the bar. We enjoyed some small talk and she had a complete phony story at what she was doing there. We were enjoying each other's company but I felt guilty about not telling her I knew why she was there. Eventually, I whispered in her ear that I knew the real reason and she got scared she was going to get outed. I just told her, that I would have been as discrete as I was if I was going to out her.

We talked and enjoyed each other's company for another hour or so. I walked her to her room and kissed her at her door. Cheapest escort date I have ever heard of.

I love these surveys, 14% of the Men who found this survey and were willing to spend the time to answer it, but the headline implies so much more.

In one way or another, men pay to have sex, the issue is whether to buy or rent.

It depends on the age group and how they define sex workers.

The number goes up if they include amateur hoes.

And definitely goes through the roof if they include going to a strip club.

Maybe 65%

But I think younger guys have been more likely to pay for sex than go to a strip club
