So, we've done the first two controversial subjects. I started these partially out of self-interest but also as I often read threads where assumptions are made. I though it would be useful to hear things from men. First thread was popular, second not so much.
The first thread I thought proved that SOME MEN DO NOT WATCH PORN. So maybe some women who say this about their partners should be believed. Granted, probably more men do, or lie, or minimise etc. But some simply do not.
Anyway. Last of three. PAYING FOR SEX. Again, hundreds of threads debating this or discussing the devastation caused by it in a relationship. The aim of this thread if it does get any replies is not that. I am interested, not in why someone never would. Not in why someone is a regular punter and thinks it's okay.
I am interested in if any men of Mumsnet... have done and wouldn't now/ever again.
Is doing it once/ever an indication of deeply held attitudes to women that will never change. Or, as seems to be the case often, have you done this when younger, more foolish, drunk, in Amsterdam (etc.), on a stag night, in curiosity. And yet, you would never do it now for whatever reason. Is it something that can mean nothing (for the man) in terms of future behaviours. I would not for a minute claim it means nothing from a feminist/women's perspective, just trying to keep the thread from veering towards absolute ethics, and more about past versus present versus future actions and behaviour.
