Do you eventually see yourself getting hookers instead of dating?

Asked by rem1981 (393points) September 16th, 2016

I know an 83 year old guy who has a hooker come over twice a month. I also know a 75 year old guy who gets all dressed up 2–3 nights a week and goes out to eat with a woman 15 years younger than him who doesn’t give him anything. I like both guys and they are both exceptional artists. One is a musician and the other paints. The musician likes the hookers and the painter is the one not getting laid. Who would you rather be? The Musician or the Painter?

I’d like to have enough money to do either one and then use it for something else!

I’m a women so hiring a gigalo doesn’t appeal to me at all. I’d rather be the one not getting any but enjoying the non-sexual company of a nice person so I’d take the dinner date.
I can always go home to B.O.B. and sleeping with an old geezer doesn’t sound very exciting, even if I was a hooker, I think I’d pass on the ancient ones.I wouldn’t find being gummed to death or having some old dudes dentures in a glass next to the bed much of a turn on. haha

Nah, too expensive.

I would like my first time to be special. No hookers just yet.

I know a couple of guys like the musician. Older, divorced or widowed—not really interested in having a relationship. They’re good people and have they’re reasons for going for hookers and not regular relationships. I think they are afraid of domestic and financial entanglements. The domestic takes an emotional toll and they might not have it in them for that anymore, and the financial can ruin you for a long, long time. They also get what they want when they want it from whom they want it from; no dancing around, no entanglements. CIark Gable was once asked why he paid for hookers when he could have any woman he wanted and he said, “I don’t pay them to screw me, I pay them to go away.”

Ask any concierge down here or in South Beach, Miami and they’ll tell you that there has been a growing tourist market in the past twenty years for gigolos as well, although women tend to be more discreet. The term “rentboy” is no longer exclusive to homosexual relationships. I imagine their reasons are along the same lines as the men above. They can shop for exactly what they want, pretty much guaranteed to get it from a very charming pro, then pay them to go away. No entanglements.

Personally, I need to know that the woman really wants to be with me. That’s the foreplay before the foreplay. And I enjoy charming them. That leaves me open to a lot of things, but I can’t be any other way. I think the artist you describe in your details is like this. He might be paying to simply have a nice evening with a beautiful woman he may not be able to attract anymore. Nothing else, no physical intimacy, because she’s basically a paid actress in bed. And the hookers probably love the guy.

My flesh would want to be the guy boinking like bunnies, be it an old rabbit, but I am more like the painter, (being I do actually paint), if it ain’t got a ring on it, I ain’t dipping my wick in it.

I had sex with a call girl once. I was 18, and crazy.

Not a street walker. A girl from ‘the yellow pages.’ Lol.

I didn’t /don’t see it as a big deal. Money in exchange for goods,or services. Like any other transaction. Although it ‘wasn’t a transaction. ’

I don’t think I would do it again. But I did it once ,because I could. And I was admittedly young, and stupid…

I don’t regret it, or feel bad, in any way. It was just a life experience. And a long time ago .

Yes, it’s always good if the woman has a husband at home. That way he’s the one that has to deal with her shit while you get all the benefits.
