Calling all MN men - viewpoints needed on escorts..

Do nearly all men search online for escorts out of 'curiosity' with no intention of taking it any further? I'm told by my DP that 'all men do this'.
AIBU- yes they do

Er? No.

@Gancanny mine bought a 3D printer for that purpose, the monstrosity now has pride of place in my living room (the printer not the husband)

Esmeralda1988 · 31/10/2020 10:13

@Gancanny I may suggest that, it would save a considerable amount of money

@whatup he's had worse hobbies Grin

NiceGerbil · 31/10/2020 10:14

Esmeralda and others Grin

I love that on a thread about men potentially paying for sex, someone is Warhammer OMG HOW AWFUL Grin

mine doesn't play the game but he paints the little men. The kids do sometimes as well or they just all sit around doing different painting and drawing etc. As hobbies goes I'd think it's better than having then go off for the whole weekend cycling/ golf / paying for sex with women be knows in no way want him but hey ho, takes all sorts!

It's surprisingly expensive isn't it. He does like buying stuff though! Air brush/ boxes of big ones waiting to be done/ always new and exciting shades of green coming out 😂😂😂

NiceGerbil · 31/10/2020 10:16

3D printers are pretty cool though.

Maybe they should give them to all the men who like buying women like cars. They can print one instead.. probably wouldn't be the same though. For many I think the fact they know she doesn't want them/ is repulsed is part of the pleasure.

Escort equals prostitute to me. No interest here apart from concern about vulnerable in society generally.

Shoxfordian · 31/10/2020 10:19

@NiceGerbil
Is paint his little orc some kind of euphemism? Grin

No op, it isn't normal to just be googling escorts with no intention of going. Don't be a mug

StonedRoses · 31/10/2020 10:21

Can’t say it’s ever crossed my mind to google or look up escorts. Either for curiosity or to go further!
No idea though if I’m normal or the outlier!

Well, yes. WTF would any man who has a partner need an 'escort'? Is he planning to go somewhere (chance would be a fine thing at the moment) which requires he's accompanied by a woman but his partner won't do? Apart from everything else, it sounds bloody disrespectful of his partner.
NiceGerbil · 31/10/2020 10:28

Shox I just realised I misspoke.

His orc is actually rather large Grin

randomchap · 31/10/2020 10:30

I can't speak for all men, but I never have.

I imagine some people would have a look out of curiosity. It's a world that most people don't come into contact with.

NiceGerbil · 31/10/2020 10:30

I'd say about 9 inches.

I asked to see it the other day and he showed it to me, he said it looks best when standing proud on a grassy hillock.

I'm not usually keen to be honest but even I was pretty impressed.

NiceGerbil · 31/10/2020 10:32

Does being asked how much for sex twice when a teenager count as coming into contact with 'that world'?

Seedy manky men are everywhere.

Hoppinggreen · 31/10/2020 10:32

Window shopping? For human beings?
Bloody awful

secretrugbyfan · 31/10/2020 10:36

No.....not at all. Can't see the reason why.

TruckinRight · 31/10/2020 10:37

Asked DH, and he said, "Fuck off with your stupid questions. Do you want another coffee yet?"

Terralee · 31/10/2020 10:38

The only man I know currently is my dad & he does lots of YouTube searches for erm, dodgy aircraft landings... that kind of thing... can't see him looking for an Escort unless it's building a new engine for one...

17thEarlOfOxford · 31/10/2020 10:48

I hadn't previously, but I've just done so now prompted by this thread. Wow, it was depressing.

Notverybright · 31/10/2020 10:51

Well in the war hammer vein (is that the right vein?)

Dp is very interested in guitars, if I find him hunched over his phone he’s looking at a guitar he can’t afford. If he had the money, he’d be buying A LOT of guitars.

Women are cheaper than guitars op, so what do you think?

Therunecaster · 31/10/2020 10:54

@Gancanny

Mine googles how to better paint his little orcs and things.

are you a fellow Warhammer widow?!

@NiceGerbil and @Esmeralda1988 mine also googles how to paint his little figures and his current googling is all about how to go a step further and make his own figures from silicone and resin (said in the tone of voice that suggests he thinks I'm as excited by this as he is).

Ahhhh I love warhammer. My Deff Dread I've just had painted by my DP

Mustbe3ormorecharacters · 31/10/2020 11:04

Of course not all men do, I’m a man and have looked escorts up in the past out of curiosity but never with the intent to see one.
I searched just to see if any were in my local area, apparently loads of escorts see clients in hotels in my area.

Buster72 · 31/10/2020 11:09

I look up a lot of things I dont need nor can i afford out of curiosity and that includes prostitutes.

Luxury yachts, classic motorcycles, holidays in exotic locations, bizzare crimes, the price of scrap metal....and local prostitutes.

Some of the better websites the woman have put more effort into and the photos could be considered glamourous.

Some are cheap and tacky

It's a crazy world and some people have a curious mind. Doesn't mean they go there.

addler · 31/10/2020 11:18

How many of you are with my DP? And can you tell him to stop sending me pictures of fucking monoliths I DON'T CARE. The only thing I like doing is arranging his paints in colour order. That brings me joy.

NiceGerbil · 31/10/2020 11:28

No one needs to fuck another human being.

I'm sure there is a woman for all price ranges. A few spare pound coins will probably get you at least a hand or blow job if you know where to go. Alternatively, you can get to know men who groom girls and young women and you might get some really cheap or even free action. Ditto boys/ men.

I like the comparison of living breathing women to scrap metal though. That's the high point of a thread.

Yeah gutted mine likes painting orcs rather than using financial power to get sexually serviced by people who don't want to touch him. All the sads.

NiceGerbil · 31/10/2020 11:32

Addler.

I like to wander over and say something like... Ooh that battle damage looks really realistic.

He knows I'm indulging him (taking the piss gently) but also looks quite proud Grin
