I mean, it just depends on why. I don't look down on it as a whole, but if you're in a relationship and doing it on the side, I think you're a scumbag. That would go for women, too though.

I personally wouldn't date a man who's into that, I'd be too worried they'd indulge while we're together, and that's a hard no for me.

My opinion is based on an older gentleman commiserating on how difficult it was for young impoverished students to pay for everything nowadays. I was in debt, and had at just that moment come out at the LGB soc. That person was my bank manager.

Subs that pay doms don't bother me at all.

I believe a lot do not care whether the sex worker really does the job as a free decision. I think even more have no respect for sex workers. A few do not see sex workers as people, but rather as usable bodies. A few go to sex workers because they are misogynists. I think a few use it to be unfaithful towards their partners without their partners having the same opportunities.

I've got to get around to learning how to do this... it's so much easier just to wank and move along with your day.

Disposable income and need for intimacy lol. Some things are not just about the sexual pleasure but fulfilling specific fetishes

No opinion. Not my business.

Why not. As long as no one suffers, it's fine by me. It's a transaction like any other. Just be a decent human being (which applies in every context) and I won't think any less of you.
