No. Provided all parties in the transaction are willingly participating and not coerced against their will and are safe and secure.
Not all people can get sex easily and we all have needs that sometimes a wank alone can’t satisfy, so paid professionals can definitely provide a valued service to the community!
IMHO! |

It depends on all kinds of moral questions, no straight answer."
Would you ever pay for sex? I guess it’s different for men than woman . |

I wouldn't personally no. I have no moral objection per se if the professional is not being exploited, but not quite sure how one would know that for sure? |

Definitely agree with this. As long as the people providing the service are in a safe environment and there sexual health is checked, regularly.  |

I know some very respectable women that sell or have sold sex. As gas as they are concerned it’s a service industry and the customer is paying for the service they require. I guess this is why it’s known as the oldest profession.
One women told me she sees women sell sex in different ways such as gifts, meals and nights out in top hotels...but they call it dating!

It's an interesting topic,
As long as its consenting who cares?
Ultimately its down to the wants/needs of the person and if they cant satisfy a certain urge, why shouldn't they pay for it?
Go on the internet, you can find escorts, dungeons and mistresses for hire, things that cater to all tastes.
Personally I think the government should make it legal and at least that way the police could monitor it properly rather than the darker side of it happen |

Interestingly, some countries have seen an increase in illegal trafficking following legalisation of prostitution, it increased demand which then made trafficking more profitable |

But even then I think it depends on who. If it is a legitimate, unexploited service in the area then who's to say what they do with their free time and own money, like (single) soldiers away from home for months? |

The question should be is the commodatisation of sex wrong? There will always be an exploited party in this dynamic, be it the worker or the consumer. |

I'm inclined to agree with this. What they do in their own time is their business, so long as they're not breaking any laws. |

One would like to think that a loving married couple has an equal investment in such things, I really don’t see that as comparable to what this women was saying. Some women make quite a good career out of “dating” several wealthy men.

People should have the freedom make their own choices on how they use their body or give services. Sex work of any kind is Ok with me as long as it's ethical.
The problem we see with a huge amount of sex work globally is that it's exploitative. Not always for forced or cohersed per se. There are many people who knowingly take advantage of others dreadful situations for their own pleasure. I would say the sex work its self is not wrong but there is often something wrong with the people who control it, the people who use it and inequalities in society. |

I guess so after they’ve dated several perhaps? I’ll leave this with you as you seem instant that marriage is the same thing.
But this doesn’t answer the OP question
Is wrong to pay for sex?

I said some women use marriage in this way, I don't see that there is necessarily anything wrong with it, be it via marriage, dating or prostitution, so long as nobody is being exploited. |

But buying anything from someone who is financially or otherwise vulnerable could be described as taking advantage, could it not? |

Right and wrong are subjective and shift between cultures and over time.
The truth is that despite concerted efforts by many, no country has ever succeeded in eliminating prostitution, and never will. |

I like it. Far better than pretending to be interested in a woman for an evening to get some. Basically i consider the seduction time saved to be more valuable than the cost of them. Like all service providers, i treat the women respectfully. |

Yes, I do believe it can be, which is why I say it depends on who and their circumstances and a whole heap of moral criteria! I don't believe anyone has a right to say 'charity workers in the field can never purchase sex' but it's very easy for them to overstep the mark I would say. |

Sex in return for aid, or to prevent withholding of aid is morally questionable. Whilst I wouldn't do it myself, I don't see the fuss about paying for sex with someone who is not coerced, and gets to keep all the money. Surely this means that at the very least one person has benefitted (via an increase in business) from aid workers being in the country!!
On a wider note, it strikes me as a shame that there is a need for these organisations to exist at all in a world where people should be able to be helped by international cooperation at government level.
What this story has shown is most charities are corrupt at some level. Domestically the employment of fundraisers, the huge bonuses paid to directors and the investment of donations into dodgy hedge fund schemes should be the things questioned by a select committee. |

On principle, no, it's not wrong. As has been said by others if (as is usually the case) all parties are responsible agents in the transaction then it's a service rendered like any other.
In practice, I've never done it and I always said I never would because ultimately it didn't provide what I wanted from sex which was the sense of mutual desire and in some cases conquest. The WG is always (even if the tone of the session is overtly the opposite) in the dominant position as she is the one able to command compensation for her time over the customer who is providing his/her time as well as compensation. That has traditionally been the stumbling block for me. I've slept with a lot of WGs, but never as a paying customer.
That having been said, in recent months I have revisited my thoughts on this and have been considering the idea as a way of having playmates without the issues that come from the swinging scene. Since playing as a couple serves a different need (purely physical as the emotional needs are already served) then in theory it may actually be an effective avenue. Still never done it however. |

I don't think it's wrong, but as others have said, both people consenting, the problem with the vice business is that so many women are forced into it, out of desperation, as a way out of their situation, drug addiction, and those sold into prostitution. Sadly the former make up a huge number of women selling sex.
And no I've never paid for sex or ever likely to do so, even when at the lowest in my marriage I never sought solace with a prostitute (I never struggled for a one off ).
I spent a winter working in Gran Canaria about 4 years ago and got to know a few of the local prostitites (always waiting outside the clubs and would seen recognise me as not a pynter), they had all been forced into prostitution on arriving in the Canaries. They had paid for someone to provide transport and work from West Africa, but on arrival in the Canaries were told they had no right to work and that they'd have to work on the streets in order to pay their debts. Some of their stories were truly horrific and incredibly humbling, they were trapped with no way out.
Sorry to put a dampner on the thread, but the reality of prostitution for many women isn't high class and high society riches  |

Maybe if it's legalised you'll be able to approach your doctor. If you can prove it's essential to your health and wellbeing they could write you out a government subsidised prescription good luck
But yes it should be legalized and regulated... doubt it will eradicate all the criminal elements and protect all sex workers though but, it would help. |

Yes that represents some prostitutes. I know others who simply want to earn the maximum amount of money with the least amount of intellectual effort. I actually think they get a bad wage when you factor the physical and emotional effort but they still prefer it over an admin / reception job and the wages they'd get for that.
A lot of sex workers have a cock and bull story about why they can't do anything else but for most, that's just a defence mechanism against the social scorn they face. For most it's the least evil of the choices they have. |

I would pay for it.
Fed up with lousy selfish lovers. Never met anyone on here who was interested whether I was enjoying it or not.
I asked on here before, would paying for it, provide me with a better quality sex? Practically everyone said yes.
Someone mentioned morals... well I see it as escorts/ prostitutes have a higher level of self respect. Least they have a higher level of self worth by actually charging for it, instead of giving it away for free to some stranger in a club because he's brought them a drink!
Yet no one bats an eyelid to those who have one night stands but will think of escorts and prostitutes in a vile manner!
Legalise it, regulate it and tax it! |

Absolutely not. Adults should be free to do whatever they wish consensually with their bodies, as well as their finances.
This against many of the moves to make financial gains from sex etc to be against the law: I hate this with a vengeance, as people have very little freedom. |

If you desire sex so much and can't be arsed trying to chat up Women/Men in pubs, clubs or on here etc,
If people are offering a service why not pay for it,
We pay for everything else we want, I cant understand why a lot more couples don't do it, Find that unicorn or exceptional hot looking fella some seem to be looking for,
Or maybe they do and don't need to broadcast it |

I've always been fine with it and still am.
However it has crossed my mind with recent events that you never quite no l know the circumstances as to why the other person is accepting cash.
Are they pressured into it, desperate to make ends meet and therefore pressured under necessity or just doing it for fun or a bit of spare cash. |

Hard to make it less safe than today where they are forced to work individually in order to stay on the right side of the law. I really question the intellect of anyone who thinks sex workers are safer in the UK than say Germany or Holland. |

I think it should legalised in certain areas of the country so it could be monitored for everyone’s safety especially the workers. Then it can also be taxed and use some of that money for support systems for the people involved. I would think everyone would agree paying for sex where the person selling it has been forced into it is completely wrong.

It's hard to say as there isn't a lot of hard evidence either way. Some studies have suggested legalising prostitution drives trafficking up, but these have been quite well criticised.
However mighty our intellect may be, this is an area where it's a challenge for us all to understand the cause and effects in play. |

"Legalise it" as a basic attitude is fine, but making this work practically to make sex workers safer would be very complicated.
Hard to make it less safe than today where they are forced to work individually in order to stay on the right side of the law. I really question the intellect of anyone who thinks sex workers are safer in the UK than say Germany or Holland.
It's hard to say as there isn't a lot of hard evidence either way. Some studies have suggested legalising prostitution drives trafficking up, but these have been quite well criticised.
However mighty our intellect may be, this is an area where it's a challenge for us all to understand the cause and effects in play."
How difficult is it to find the 'victims of trafficking' when they are stood half naked in a bright pink window next to a central train station? I really struggle to understand how the police would struggle to locate those people relative to the UK where they are dispersed. |

Maybe because the situation you describe is absurdly simplistic. |

"I think it should legalised in certain areas of the country so it could be monitored for everyone’s safety especially the workers. Then it can also be taxed and use some of that money for support systems for the people involved. I would think everyone would agree paying for sex where the person selling it has been forced into it is completely wrong.

"I would pay for it.
Fed up with lousy selfish lovers. Never met anyone on here who was interested whether I was enjoying it or not.
I asked on here before, would paying for it, provide me with a better quality sex? Practically everyone said yes.
Someone mentioned morals... well I see it as escorts/ prostitutes have a higher level of self respect. Least they have a higher level of self worth by actually charging for it, instead of giving it away for free to some stranger in a club because he's brought them a drink!
Yet no one bats an eyelid to those who have one night stands but will think of escorts and prostitutes in a vile manner!
Legalise it, regulate it and tax it!"
Maybe dont just go for the ripped guys. Tubby guys have more to prove as we cant rely on our bodies to win women over  |

No it is not. Anyone that gets in their high horse and looks down on others about it is an idiot. As long as the seller of 'goods' has a choice in who and how they go about it then it's fine. We need to get rid of this negative stigma surrounding sex. We sell it anyway in western culture we just justify it by having a video camera in front room |

I don't think it's wrong to pay for sex, as long as the person doing the job hasn't been forced into it. I love sex, if I could make a living doing something I love...that's the dream isn't it? To do work you enjoy? |

I'd be scared it would feel like work and I wouldn't want to do it recreationally |

Yes, I can understand that, it might be a hard one to get the right balance. |
