I met up with a very good friend of mine today. The kind you can say anything to. We have so much sympathy for each other, because we are so similar, that we never get competitive.
We swapped sex stories. We talked about prostitution and he gave me this books.
We both have the same blocks when it comes to prostitution.
We are afraid that the women are being forced, that someone is taking their profit, that they hate it, that they are underage, that they don’t feel comfortable around us. Etc. In the end we never do it.
But it’s out there, and it fascinates us. How do you live like that? Working as a prostitute? How humiliating is it to pay for it? Isn’t it the most glaring sign of one’s faillure as a man?
I’m looking forward to read this book.
I gave him a copy of ‘the suicide bunnies’ in return.
We have that in common to, we never feel like we are enough. We have to bring a gift, or something interesting, to compensate for nothing being enough.
Objectively I would say we are both quite talented, but that’s not how we feel.
It’s also why we can’t use prostitutes. The idea to lop-sidedly extract pleasure from an interaction is anathema to us.

Looks like a fantastic book

It really is. It’s refreshingly honest. The author just exposes all his own insecurities and fears, and it’s all verj tasteful and also respectful towards the prostitutes he slept with. It reads like a movie.

I’ve just finished reading it. It’s very respectful of women. It’s pro prostitution, but does try hard to answer all questions. It’s too positive about it according to me, but it’s a very tasteful book. I just think the author didn’t experience the worst sides of it. For that I recommend the book ‘Paid for’, by Rachel Moran. Chester Brown is not critical enough, BUT the book is tasteful, and I assume there are prostitutes who enjoy their job, or at least like it about as much as most people like their job, but I think it’s a minority. I’m not a fan of prostitution and don’t feel comfortable having sex with someone who’s not attracted to me and doesn’t want to have sex with me, but the book gives you stuff to think about.

Ok noted, another book in row to read 🙂
On topic, I would say there are more categories of men, who paying for this kind of service. You have these top luxury prostitues, but they call themselves as female companions. For sure those, both sides dont feel guilty and neither humiliating for doing it and paying for it.
Then you have this second category, where meet average women and average men from society. Those women just had to do this, because they didnt get proper education, or are in some bad financial situation and they often feel bad and terrible dirty. Usually they dont last really long with this job. Same about men, ones who sleeping with them, are men, who you wouldnt probably even mark in society that they could do it. They also feel guilty, because most of time, they have families at home and this was just mental cut off.
Last category is lowest in social ratio of this world. These women do it for whole their life, do not feel bad about it, its only lifestyle they know. Same about their customers, usually frustrated men from edge of society, often on roads, willing pay less just for sex. Nothing else.
Maybe Im wrong, just read once article about it, also it was this hot discussed topic in Slovakia on political scene few years ago.

Am not sure if I would categorize them exactly as you do, but I agree that certain categories do exist and that the minority who are luxury escorts who can easily charge 500 euro a night or more, pick their own clients, etc are the best off. There’s a docu on prostitution in Russia and there you see all categories, sort of. You can find it here: https://youtu.be/TKWsHLOT8kw In Slovakia prostitution seems to largely go through this site: https://zafo.sk I’ve been told you rarely get to see the girl in the picture. They use whole floors of apartment buildings, from the outside one would never guess what goes on there
