I wonder this to myself sometimes. I wonder what it would be like to have real life friends to talk to about escorts lol. I'm sure the number goes up as you get older. But with me being rather young and in my mid 20's, I sometimes wonder if I'm the only perv I know who has been with escorts.

I know a lot of people are escorts.  It's easy, no drama, no stings attached  
It's SO much easier than dating with NO drama.  No calling you after the date or texting you.  It's over until the next time you want to get laid.  Perfect for me anyway.

and an even larger percentage of people I know have done so, but choose to keep it very quiet and would never admit to it in "polite society"

Of course my numbers are skewed from most of the rest of the people here as I don't live a "secret life" here, most everyone that knows me knows I am a whore monger as I make no secret of the fact, many people that tell me that they also have seen prostitutes would probably never have done so if they didn't already know that I would not be one to judge them harshly for doing something that I openly do myself. They would most likely not be opening up to me on the subject if they thought for a minute that telling me might have repercussions.

I don't discuss my mongering with any of my personal  friends.   Now when it comes to my business friends ,while I don't discuss mongering with them either, based on the industry I'm in,  I'd say quite a few.    

They saw really low end girls though.
Seeing them get ripped off 70% of the time didn't encourage me very much.

Dear Ms. Rayne:
I understand why you would exclude your gay friends from interaction with escorts or at least those escorts that cater to a heterosexual population. However, why would you exclude most of your male friends who happen to be in their 30's? Although you wouldn't know about it, it is a fact that at least 10 percent of the male population has participated in commercial sex at some point in their adult lives. Thus if the aforementioned statement is true there is a good possibility that they have bartered currency for pleasure at some point and time.  Although you might doubt it strongly there is a small possibility that they have partaken in it.

Pretty sure none of my friends see escorts. Not saying they would never even though they say they won't.  Even going to a strip club for a bachcelor party is like pulling teeth with them. They talk a lot of shit about how much they whored around in college but shrink like snails into their shells when a smoking hot lady pays them a little attention. I think being younger and still happy at home has them content enough not to be tempted as of yet. I however I am single and sometimes it's just easier and more enjoyable to be with a lady who really knows how to make a man feel like a man and not just some drunken lousy fuck after closing down the bar.

Some of my gay friends have told me they have seen male escorts but I haven't told them about seeing female escorts

I'm in my mid-20s as well and I highly doubt that any of my friends have seen escorts before. Mostly because they can't afford it haha.

....we'd all be shocked.
