I'd be really interested to see your source for this. More than 50% of men pay for sex? No way. Most sources I've seen put it about 10%. Of course this is a huge number, but it's still an unrepresentative minority.



Because it's an illegal business, and because men seldom accurately self-report when polled on this matter, there's just no way to know. My best guess would be somewhere in the avenue of 20-25%.

I think the popularity of the GFE is because the better an actress the girl is, the more it takes the client's mind off the fakeness of the whole situation.



That's one (very cynical) explanation for it and it could be correct. I think it's more to do with loneliness and lack of affection. There's a lot of that going around, particularly in marriages.

But as you said originally, they also want porno-style fucking - something you don't get from a typical girlfriend. Do you believe they'd be just the same with a civilian girlfriend? Don't you think that the fact that they are paying for it has some influence on this? The fact that they can enact the fantasy with an escort, and she will pretend to like it?




Depends on what you mean by "porno-style fucking". Plenty of girlfriends like anal sex and facials. It's wives who don't. I used to believe that any male inconsiderate enough to shove a dry finger into the ass of an escort and then try to force it in her mouth probably doesn't have the social skills to get a girlfriend, but I've had very physically attractive clients do exactly that to me, so you may be correct.

But I'm the wrong person to ask. I was a whore who expected to be fucked well AND get paid for it. And it worked out sometimes, but increasingly (and I attribute this to porn shaping mens' sexual expectations) it did not. I still find it amazing that so many men don't care to find out what turns their partners on; they want to do it the way they want to do it, and want validation for it. Good sex just doesn't work that way.

Eh? Your perspective makes you one of the more interesting poster here.



I thought going off-topic was bad, but from what's happened in this thread, when in Rome...

I liked "Baise-Moi" BTW. It's a pity Karen Launcaume offed herself.
