Paying for sex

Anyone seen this article in the Mail:
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2838656/One-nine-men-admits-paid-sex-Single-men-aged-25-34-professional-jobs-likeliest-group-use-prostitutes.html#comments
Looking at the comments at the bottom, most think that most men pay. Is this more true than we like to admit?

Well she did say it was her "guess" - not sure how that was ambiguous?

And that probably accounts for a fair % of men who use prostitutes too.

Twinkle I'd love to believe that but a lot of them had female partners on their profile pics! I think a lot of women still see it as 'banter' and don't want to bring up the attitudes their partners have at home in case it rocks the boat which in turn perpetuates the attitudes for their kids and therefore society as a whole.

Surely these men have mothers, sisters, grandma's and so forth? They presumably went to school or college or uni with females? How does a man go about avoiding all females throughout his life?

There's not a single poster with a pic of a woman on that Indie thread.

A dog, a penguin and a couple of ill-advised selfies.

The Indie out of all the broadsheets has the most arseholes. Not sure why.

I haven't read the Mail story, and don't see how anything in such a fictional publication can help enlighten us, but among people I know I think it would be rare for men to have paid for sex.

Don't forget that there are considerable practical reasons not to, not just moral ones. Since the advent of HIV/AIDS, the disease aspect has become even more of a turn-off than it already was. And many men don't like using condoms.

I think even if I felt alright about it morally (which I don't) I still just wouldn't want to. Too much risk, expense, and hassle.

I linked to the wrong thing - the Indie on FB comments are what I was reading (thought I was on the site and linked to that) but if you have a FB account and look the story up on that you will see them in all of their glory.

I've read a lot worse tbh, that Kris Gerbil (sic) is a bit of a card isn't he?

Sorry, second one was meant to be this one - I could go on but you get the idea! The comment about 'real men rape' is just one of a few sadly.

We have the net to thank for revealing the true number of misogynist cockwombles in the world.

Indeed we do, and they wonder why feminism is apparently on the rise!

I think a lot of men behave particularly badly when on holiday with other blokes. My ex went on a trip to Spain with 40 odd other blokes and he told me that 8 of them went to a brothel (all married or partnered up) I'm pretty sure that they didn't go for a drink! On top of that at least 4 others slept with prostitutes that were hanging around outside! This was a so called golfing holiday! He didn't of course......Hmm

Of course not...the others would have told their women that too!

How do you indirectly pay for sex? Blimey..you do know the answer to that really don't you? If not, look at the comments on the Mail's article.

I would say at least 95% of men who aren't virgins will have done.

Confirms that about 1 in 9 men you will encounter are total cunts.
