Every culture has them (Japanese with Geisha's, Netherlands, etc.), Bible cites them....is it ever right? Just because history has them doesn't mean it's right (e.g. slavery). and i wouldn't want my daughter to become one, yet we see even the best of men failing (e.g. JFK and Marilyn Monroe). Is it really failure, or just human flesh?

There are a few flaws in your description, but to answer your question: Men go to prostitutes because of an overwhelming sexual temptation that has a hold on them.

No it is never right. There are so many reasons why a man would go to a prostitute. Some go to keep spending money and get nothing - LOL - it is cheaper in the long run to go pay a hooker than to waste 4 hrs on a date and paying 200 or 300 for the evening out and maybe get nothing or just go pay for a sure thing. Some go because there is no sex at home. Some go out of curiosity. I am sure there are other reasons but I will leave them to others - gotta go - the madame is calling my number - not really.

Some guys can't seem to get a girl to sleep with him so he goes to prostitutes other have weird fantasies and fetishes that they feel their wife or girlfriend just won't understand so they go to prostitutes. Some just want meaningless sex without all the hassle so they go to prostitutes. Its cheaper to go to a prostitute then to wine and dine a women for a few dates and then MAYBE have sex with her. Some are stationed overseas and just really need to have sex and get so horny they go to prostitutes. Some women want to be touched the right way or want a no strings attached sex or just want a night or thrill and passion so they hire "professionals" that can give it to them. Your daughter won't become one unless she is kidnapped and sold into human trafficking or if you kick her out the house and the only way to survive is to sell her body on the streets. Provide well for her and giver her the opportunity of a bright future and she will be fine.

Men are biologically programmed to seek sexual variety. Men go to prostitutes because they do not want to hurt their marriage by having an affair and possibly falling in love with another woman. Prostitutes provide sexual gratification without strings attached. This is why after farming, it is the world's oldest profession.



How can you compare slavery to prostitution? 15% of prostitutes are streetwalkers and put themselves in danger, the other 85% work at brothels, are protected by legal regulations, and pay taxes like everyone else. Please do your research about sex workers before implementing untrue stereotypes concocted by people with obvious political agendas.

Geishas are not prostitutes. I don't see prostitution in and of itself as necessarily wrong, though I'd agree I wouldn't want to be one (I never mix business pleasure) and I would not want my daughter to be one. I don't think 'failures' and prostitution necessarily equate. We err though, because we're human ; and everyone errs in one way or another.



As to why, I'd guess because it's 'uncomplicated', but that's just a guess.



edit,...oh yes, I'm not sure if you were insinuating Marilyn was a prostitute or not but I assume you know she was not...

Flesh....every man unless there are other issues going on desires physical pleasure and especially sexual pleasure, but how we go about satisfying these desires is the issue here. Some men choose to utilize prostitutes and other not so healthy ways to satisfy this craving. By far the most honorable way is within the bonds of marriage with your spouse.

When talking about Desi's unfaithfullness, this is what Lucille Ball said; "Cuban men will fight to the death defending the honor of their mothers, daughters and sisters. But, as far as they are concerned, there is a reason for prostitutes".



Fleshly desires are a fall for mankind.



But most of why people sin is they don't know, or want to accept how serious consequences for some sins can be.

Because it's less time consuming and cheaper than going on dates.



Sex is a normal desire. Prostitutes provide a service that helps people with those desires.



Not everyone wants a relationship and prostitutes are very honest about what they want.

Both - can't 'handle' your partner or thoughts... want more than you can communicate or respect close to home... failure for flesh.



If seeking variety, definitely failure as you don't need money for this... an open mind and open partner go far without any need for discretion.



note: this does work both ways, it is not only men who use the sex trade.

I never have, but I can understand why guys do. Sometimes a guy just wants to get laid without having to talk and go through the motions of acting like he gives a rats rear end.

Marilyn Monroe wasn't a prostitute, and I don't think geishas are quite the same thing.

well marilyn monroe was not a prostitute JFK did not pay her a fee for her services...they may have had an affair....but having an affair is different from prostitution...it is there because something in men makes them seek them out and be willing to pay for it...

Men are horny and then their hormone testosterone makes them unable to think clearly. It causes them to act on impulse. Its the same hormone that causes rage in teenage boys and the need to show off and take risks with their friends.

I guess probably because men need intimate contact with a women and hormones of course, or they simply aren't attracted to who the are with any more

Wooo Wee! As you can see I'm a dustbunny and we normally stay under beds, NORMALLY! Not anymore they are just a bouncing all over the place I lost a sister about a month ago!



It's called the lust of the flesh by Christians and many call it a fun hobby! Me? My parents came from all over, duh, I'm just the dust of the earth.

Men go to prostitutes to have sex.

No hidden meanings, no deep intellectual reasons.

Just base urges. Don't you have them ?

It's testosterone- men have an irresistible urge to procreate and occasionally they have to find an outlet for their desires.
