I've never been with a prostitute, but when I was single, I always thought if I was ever in Nevada, I would give it a go. I've heard it's pretty safe in a legal situation. When I was in high school and college, all my money went toward camera equipment, so I couldn't afford one anyway.
I don't expect much in the way of confessions on this one, but anyone had prostitution experiences? Good, bad, life altering? On either side of the deal? And what did it cost?
(and yes, this thread was inspired by the "how much have you paid for X" thread which made me think of sex.)

Are talking about soliciting a prostitute or trying to earn a few bucks on the side?

I know, I know, even if we get one poster to relate an experience this thread will probably have been worthwhile.

I was with some friends in Amsterdam, and one of them decided to give it a go. He came back in about 10 minutes, and said that he couldn't get an erection, so the woman got some "machine" (as he described it) to get him up. It freaked him out so much that he just left.
I always kind of admired him after that. I'd like to think I'd also be too grossed out to actually go through with it.

I've bought girls things and/or given them money and they banged me. Actually, that pretty much sums up every relationship with women I've ever had. I'm not saying all women are prostitutes, but quite a few are (at least) part-timers.

I've been with a prostitute - that was how I lost my virginity.
A friend of mine was getting sick and tired of hearing my whine about not having been with a girl, so, as the nice guy he was, he called his rather dodgy dad and asked him if he knew any prostitues in Copenhagen?
As it happened, he did know a place, gave my friend the phonenumber, and then he rang and got an appointment...
We showed up, chatted for a bit, had a cup of coffee - and got down to business
The prostitute I was with, wasn't the youngest - must have been 45 years old or so, but she did know her trade.
To sum it up, it was quite successful: It got a nice blowjob, got to shag her and was told the my wedding vegetable was bigger than average
I was 19 and happy as an clam! I paid roughly $100 for 4 hours...
To be honest, I think it was a nice way to lose ones virginity - with someone who knows what they are doing, and together with another confused teenager.

No, if you have ideas, feel free to start one up!
I think drugs, gambling, maybe lies, I don't know. Ideas are welcomed.

If you were going to get busy with your buddy, you didn't need to pay the $100!

I haven't been able to dig it up but there's a "legal prostitution faq" that describes the (somewhat standardized) process of going to a legal brothel in Nevada.
It's entertaining reading. I'll keep looking for it.

Back then (1992) it was cheap - and safe. Of course condoms were used.

I see it the way that prostitutes do the society a favour - at least in Denmark, not everybody can get a girl just by snapping their fingers. For some this could lead to frustations, perhaps drinking - and it might end up in violence, sexual assult or something worse.
Prosititutes acts as an safety valve.
Of course not every "girl of the night" are in it for the money, some have a drugs problem, are forced into it...

You're not paying for sex. You're paying them to leave.
I've never paid for sex. I'm always surprised by the men who casually bring it up in conversation. I just remind them to always bag it: memories are better than souvenirs.

But as soon as they hit that $101 per hour mark...BAM! Nothing but class!

I never got the idea of paying for sex. Girls are as horny as guys, if not more so, and the chase is all part of the fun. Why pay?

True, but it misses the point.
FWIW, you should note I'm judging your argument here, not your actions.

I find people who frequent strip clubs more idiotic than those who see hookers.
What the hell is the point of giving a woman sums of money for working you up and then leaving? At least there is a rational quid pro quo from prostitution.
Nevertheless both options are poorly thought out. You can walk into any bar buy two drinks and have better sexual prospects from that investment. There's no need to spend the kind of money a stripper or hooker requires to get ass. That is unless you are ugly, obese, or just plain sexually undesirable.
With all that said, I think there is a very legitimate argument to be made that the majority of sex a man gets in his lifetime does cost him on some level.

Your analogy lacks an analogous situation. Hookers aren't slaves.
I don't think prostitution is a "safety valve" for anything. Spending money on prosecuting pros and their clients is just a waste of resources.

I think you can find the answer to that question in those back rooms.
Be sure to wear your galoshes during your investigation.

Uhh... If hookers were slaves why would I have bothered using an analogy?
The parallel I'm trying to draw is one of attitude.
Edit: got a little distracted and let this get out even though it needs clarification... stand by.

Okay. I don't think my analogy is "wrong", but man, it's horribly constructed considering the point I'm trying to make.
What I'm taking issue with is prostitution being presented as a solution for the problem of men who would otherwise be criminals.
This is like the slave owner presenting "owning slaves" as a solution for the problem of having to work.
In both cases the solution is self-serving to the arguer, and in both cases it's the arguer who's the problem... not that they have a problem, they are the problem.
Of course, I'm guessing vexborg isn't someone for whom the legality of prostitution is the only thing keeping him from sexually assaulting someone, but he is making an argument on behalf of men who are.
Likewise, making the slave owner no longer a problem is (at least technically) an easy proposition, making the ****head who lacks self-control find himself some is a tougher row to hoe. Much of that lack of self-control is cultural, and we haven't even come close to doing all we can do to make that culturally unacceptable.
Until that point, that prostitution does serve a purpose as a safety valve is something over which we should be hanging our heads in shame.

I had someone offer me sex for money once on the internet... I replied with, "If I want sex I don't have to pay for it." I was like, you just told a average looking young gay man that you will have sex with him for money. Like, I mean, really I've had some pretty hot guys offer to have sex with me so why would I pay for it?

Completely for legalised prostitution. Never paid for sex other than in the traditional sense (wine-dine-make you mine).

I grew up in San Diego. Back when I was in high school the border crossing was very lax for Americans. So, being that Tijuana was only 30 miles away, we would go down there all the time. It was a lot safer back then too (in the mid 90's). Anyway, we would regularly hit up Adelita's and the Chicago Club. Back then it was about $60 for full service for an hour, but I am sure it has gone up. You had to go at the right time too, the quality of the women could vary greatly. Although, sometimes it was worse when the most attractive women were in because that was also when all of the really rich guys were there. Needless to say, the hottest whores would not be approaching the high school students. Ah, you gotta love the legal brothels.

The idea has never appealed to me.
I just don't find women who've slept with large numbers of men attractive, whether they be whores or just barsluts.
Very unhygienic.

Yeah, they're horny as guys until you marry them. Then the sex stops because they got what they wanted.

Ha!
But yeah, girls may be as horny as guys, but they do not have the same attitudes as guys towards casual sex. It's considered to be probably the biggest gender difference that there is.

Because you're too proud to accept charity?
I've never paid for sex but I have shared a flat with a high class call girl and a... err... budget hooker. I find it sad that girls will do that, but then these girls weren't stupid and they weren't junkies and damn the "high class" girl got paid a lot. She'd make my weekly wage in an hour. So who's the stupid one?

Explain share a flat? You mean you were living with them?
