OK Guys hear me out on this one.
I am a recently divorced 100% faithful husband of 28 years. I never even considered seeing an escort or even looked into it until a month ago when I realized that I was a free man.  
It is my opinion however that allowing a married man to see an escort or a woman to see the male equivalent should be allowable in a marriage with the following parameter which is already in place for the most part:

What happens in the hotel room stays in the hotel room. In other words it is 100% about the sexual experience and that 's it.  

I mean there is a reason why Ashley Madison is so popular and that more than 50% of the marriages end in divorce and a high percentage is because guys are unfaithful anyway mainly because they are sick of making love to the same woman for life. No matter how attractive you wife is (and my ex wife is considered a MILF by everybody who sees her) you grow tired of the same old thing. The real problem is when you meet a woman who is not an escort that may threaten the marriage and that should not be allowed obviously. But a no strings escort poses no such threat.  

Perhaps I haven't thought this through completely but I actually think it might even be healthy for the marriage. It's kinda like the same idea behind legalizing pot.  

Let me know where my thought process breaks down. Thanks, guys

To the GD board. You'll get a livelier discussion.

My answer is that many people here, probably more guys, will agree with you.
I'd guess that women tend not to work like this unless she married you for money or a similar reason.  
I'm in an open relationship so I'm with you, but many will not be

seem a little wracked with guilt and maybe some second guessing of choices. It's normal. 1st timer-itis.

It's ok you saw a hooker. ok?

doesn't make you a bad person. yeah, it would help lots of marriages. in a fucked up way.

I bet for every marriage broken up by a provider, there are two that are saved.

In any case, there's a big disconnect in our society regarding what makes sense and what ends up being the case.

The whole sexual thing is just one part of that disconnect.

you've always been.  
Further more, it's he duty to service you or else.  
Try this next time,  everytime you expect her I service you, stuff an envelope full of benjis n and her to the mall,  
Sound fair?

... its called an "open relationship". Many people do it in various forms.  

The question is ... Are you truly able to deal with your wife sleeping with other men whenever she feels like it? When I was a younger man, I would have definitively said "no fucking way". Now, I'm not so sure. I too got bored being with the same woman year after year after year ... marriage isn't for everyone. I wouldn't cheat on her, neither of us was happy with our sex life anymore, so we got divorced. I still love her, she was my best friend as well. I've often wondered if I should have brought this up before we decided to give up ... probably would have just gotten me bitch slapped though.

I'm not disagreeing with what you are saying or that your theory is wrong in any way but to put some what of a twist on it ... how about we think of it this way? If it is helpful to maintain a good marriage for a man who gets bored with having sex with the same woman for the rest of his life that going to an escort for short term type of relief ... then the same should be true for a woman who is bored of having the same romantic gestures for the rest of her life and seeks that in other men. I apologize for my grammar and run on sentence ... Its late and I'm tired

On that same note, don't tell others what 'should' be allowed in theirs. I've never cheated on a man in my life, but I have participated in cheating by being with married men. NOT something I have ever felt good about, either.

It's good to get away from idealistic expectations for what a marriage should be. A better approach would be to view the act of marriage as a gesture that you want your partner to be a central part of your life for as long as you live - that's the baseline. From there, a marriage is whatever the two agree it to be. It's a constant negotiation and both parties need to be open-minded. People get divorced because one or the other can't accept that people and circumstances change over time. The person you fell in love with at 25 is different at 45. Evolution baby, it's adapt or die (the marriage, that is)!  

Although it seems like the last remaining taboo in America, there's plenty of literature to support the notion that a little extramarital play helps maintain passion in any LTR.

Heather my dear, you obviously did not read the whole post. Besides the above quote, he also mentions that his wife is a hot milf, and that it is NOT about her not being good enough, but simply about needing some strange.
 

Hmmmm I'm not so sure I agree. First of all a very low percentage of marriages are considered open relationships and even if they do exist they are not really accepted by society. Swinging for example does exist but it is done in an underground world setting. Open relationships also imply that even non escort sex is allowable for example with the hot girl at work. I do not condone this type of strings attached relationship. I'm talking about a non strings attached escort only relationship for both parties with no mention of course to the spouse
