Calling all MN men - viewpoints needed on escorts..

[Conchinilla]

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

Not a man but DP is and he says that no, men don’t tend to look up escorts out of “curiosity”.

I can only tell you that my “only looking from curiosity” ex husband had years of bookings when I finally came upon his Adultwork password 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would say: it’s an odd thing to be “just curious” about it, isn’t it?

@Buster72

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.

Any other women feel sick at being in the same category as transport, holidays and scrap metal...

I'm a straight woman and I've looked out of curiosity. But then I'm the type to look up any passing thought I have. I just like finding out useless random knowledge

Same here. Plus I remember a MN thread some years back where many of us had a bloody good laugh trawling a male escorts for women site and I bet none of us booked any of the men on there many of which were bloody grim.

I’m not your target demographic, I’m a heterosexual female, but I’ve looked up local prostitutes (women and men) in my local area, on quite a few occasions. I also used to sometimes look at a forum where men reviewed female sex workers (grim I know). And a forum where female sex workers chatted on.

For me it’s just curiosity, I have zero wish to hire (or become) a prostitute. I might be a weirdo, but I’m not the only one in the world (or even on this thread) who looks at this stuff out of curiosity. So anyone saying with certainty that your partner is lying should be ignored. He might well be lying, but no one here knows that.

@BubblyBarbara

I Google all sorts of nonsense I never actually want to do or buy to be honest though it is usually antique teapots and not slappers

@bubblybarbara

Slappers? Lovely, judgmental language there. Do you mean often drug addicted, trafficked, vulnerable and desperate women? Slappers implies they take some sort of enjoyment out of it

@NiceGerbil @addler I like to pretend that I think the termagants are actually called turdigants and refer to them as such. I even allowed a small(ish) display cabinet IN THE LIVING ROOM.

Re the escorts I very much doubt this is something every man does. Certain sorts of men, yes.

Asked DH
“Ew, no”

Slappers.

The term you are looking for is women. Sometimes girls.

This was the attitude that led to the police etc turning a blind eye to Rotherham etc for so many years. They're just slappers.

The dehumanising of women is how we end up with so many awful situations. Like oh well look how she was dressed etc. Or if you've ever been paid for sex you're no longer human but akin to scrap metal or whatever other inanimate object comes to mind.

Any other women feel sick at being in the same category as transport, holidays and scrap metal...

Yes. These are the sort of men who, not as deep down as they'd like to claim, view women as merely a collection of holes.

I even allowed a small(ish) display cabinet IN THE LIVING ROOM

You're a far cooler wife than I am. I have allowed one in the dining room though.

I'm heartened by all the Warcraft DHs out there

A close friend of mine is a male escort. There are as many male ones as female ones.
Until this pandemic it gave him a lucrative business and lifestyle.
Apparently the male ones are in demand, which looking at his lifestyle I can believe, so there must be as many women looking at the men as there are men looking at the women.
I've had a good look at the male ones purely because I'm nosey.

I have never felt the need to. IM0 your partner is probably lying.

A close friend of mine is a male escort. There are as many male ones as female ones

I don't for one minute believe that there is an equal number of male and female prostitutes.

Lololol

Yes sure there are as many male as female ones.

And the male ones are taking it in having sex with women

You forgot about the young fella who that male politician was going to 'break in' then... Surprising as clearly is pretty rare for men to sell sex to men, or do so because they are desperate/ for little reward etc.

Tell us more about this!

The men on street corners selling oral sex to women for a fiver a go....

Because surely of the numbers are the same of male and female prostitutes, the demographics must be also? Or do you assert that the men who are operating area all doing so at the higher end?

I had no idea that women were more likely to pay for sex than gay men. That's a real eye opener as well.

@Notverybright

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?

With mine it's motorhomes and classic cars, occasionally motorbikes.

Only around 20% of sex workers in the UK are male, nowhere near 50:50.

@Esmeralda1988 we've got a display cabinet in the living room as well But I've managed to mould him to my hidden storage ways and everything else is in very well-organised boxes in kallax units.

He bought me some admech thing for my first birthday we were together. All because I made the mistake of saying I liked robots.

Lolling at the posters saying they asked their DPs and they said no.

Of course they said no! Few of us are stupid enough to answer a question like that truthfully. I'd bet your DPs hearts were in their mouths when you asked that question and they were furiously deleting their browser histories the moment you left the room.

Not a man but DP is and he says that no, men don’t tend to look up escorts out of “curiosity" Ok, well maybe he doesn't, but how can he speak for all men?!

and, completely agree @Buccanarab, as if they would say yes! (if they had)

It's an alternative form of porn for some people definitely

I just asked DH and once we’d established I didn’t mean the car, he said no and that he’s pretty sure with the exception of maybe one or two none of his friends would either.

War hammer widow? Oh dear. DW has got her own army to fight mine with although this is wargaming which is far mors grown up. Lol. And nope I don't search for escorts either.

Oh I’ve searched for all sorts escorts, dominatrixes, sexclubs, swingers clubs, dog walkers etc.im a straight woman with no intention of using any, but much more entertaining use of google than looking up some celebs insta photoshopped page

I highly doubt any man would give a straight answer to his wife/partner when asked this question. Indeed if Mrs buster asked I would literally throw my phone in the river to avoid detection.
I have no need of a prostitute but I am curious that's all.

@addler he wanted to put it in our bedroom but I had a suspicion he might look at it whilst we DTD so living room it was
