Hi. I was talkin to a friend, her friends husband (they have 2 girls) goes to thailand for a boys holiday and sleeps with prostititues, the wife also knows this! He was talking and saying all men sleep with them. I certanely don't think my DP does and he works in germany all week. This man is a sleeze and goes out with a group of sleezy men who you can imagine do the same thing but surely he is wrong saying that?!

Hogwash.

Not all men sleep with prostitutes.

I think the guy is just saying that to justify his behaviour, almost like he 'can't help it'

"Its just wot us blokes do, luv!"

LuckySalem · 13/06/2008 22:25

Yeh i'd have thought he was wrong.

I'd believe that all men at some point have slept with prostitues and that some married men sleep with prostitutes.

I used to believe that all men loved strip clubs till I tried to persuade DP to take me to one (I'm intrigued) and he's said he's not interested after going once cos your not allowed to touch them. lol

maidamess · 13/06/2008 22:26

I wouldn't believe that all men had at some point slept with a prostitute. I'm married to one that hasn't.

harpsichordcarrier · 13/06/2008 22:26

what a twat
of course not all men have slept with prostitutes that's just fkn ridiculous.
and very very offensive to men.

emkana · 13/06/2008 22:27

boll*s

And I don't think that all men have slept with prostitutes either, LuckySalem

Hulababy · 13/06/2008 22:27

I have just asked DH and he says that is definitely not the case. He nly knows of one man who has used prostitutes - not a friend, an acquaintance.

harpsichordcarrier · 13/06/2008 22:27

plenty of men would find it revolting to pay someone for sex

Hulababy · 13/06/2008 22:28

Def don't believe tht all men have slept with a prostitute at some time either. None of the blokes I know would ever pay out for it TBH!

sweetkitty · 13/06/2008 22:28

I know mine hasn't as he's too terrified of catching anything and his knob falling off or something.

expatinscotland · 13/06/2008 22:29

No, no they don't.

Some would never do this. Some couldn't even get an erection with one as they find the idea that you have to pay for sex repulsive.

LuckySalem · 13/06/2008 22:30

emkana - I'm not saying all men have. I'm just saying if someone told me all men had I may believe it. Just not all what the OP has said.

yes this is what I thought but being an insecure person whose husband works away thought I had better check! I reaaly dont think he is the kind of man that would, dont even think he knows how to flirt anymore!!!

also, lots of men like sex with people that they love or at least like, rather than complete strangers

MegBusset · 13/06/2008 22:32

No, of course all men haven't slept with a prostitute. DH certainly hasn't and in fact turned down a lapdance as he was uncomfortable with it.

davidtennantsmistress · 13/06/2008 22:34

I can categorically say my XH never did - he did a lot of things and is a lot of things but sleeping with a prostitute he never did.

madamez · 13/06/2008 22:35

Now among my friends are both sex workers and clients of sex workers. But I certainly don't agree that all men pay for sex or have done at some stage in their lives: i have known plenty of men who wouldn't do it (some because they have wierd and rather unpleasant attitudes about 'real' men never paying for it, some because they are celibate, some because they are love fetishists (ie don't have sex unless in love).
If you have a partner who generally behaves in a monogamous fashion, says he loves you and is trustworthy, then trust him: he's not going to pay a sex worker just because he knows someone else who does. Men are individuals with individual standards and preferences, just like women.

LuckySalem · 13/06/2008 22:35

Your not understanding me are you? lol. I'm not saying I believe it. I'm saying i'd believe it more than what the OP posted.

Oh nevermind.

MegBusset · 13/06/2008 22:37

LOL at 'love fetishists'

Remotew · 13/06/2008 22:38

Is it not the case that all men pay for sex in one way or another? Ducks the eggs being thrown and runs.

Quattrocento · 13/06/2008 22:38

This is an odd symptom of own-world-itis. Very few men actually sleep with prostitutes,
there are only around 80,000, a fifth of which are male

I imagine only pretty sleazy blokes use prostitutes - not that I have ever met a man who has used them (or voluntarily disclosed using them).

It's such an obvious attempt at self-justification really.

MegBusset · 13/06/2008 22:39

Too true

LuckySalem · 13/06/2008 22:40

abouteve - lol

MegBusset · 13/06/2008 22:40

I knew someone who regularly used a prostitute. He was middle-aged and disabled and had one regular prostitute that he went to for years. Eventually the sex stopped but they still remained very close, she sadly contracted Aids and he married her on her death bed.
