“Why I pay for sex” – BBC News
Catrin Nye spoke to one man, ‘Ben’, who has slept with between 30 and 40 prostitutes. He is 30, single, lives in London and works in PR. On June 1st paying for sex will become illegal in Northern Ireland. It will be following Sweden and Norway in criminalising men who use prostitutes. There are calls for the same to be done across the rest of the UK. Others argue that the best protection for prostitutes is actually legalisation.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

The only people who are gonna call him desperate are women and priviledged men who have no problem attracting women..In todays modern world most men are in his situation whether they realize it or not..When women are indipendent they only want top tier men which is like 5% and they end up sharing the same guys and end up getting hurt then they are mad how the world isn't fair and why those top tier men won't commit only to her and in the end when they are 40 some average guy has to take her and deal with her baggage and her attitude cuz she thinks she's settling..

Its become even harder for men today we get shamed for wanting affection from a woman. They call us simps. Like its bad to be wanting to be loved. so men start needing affection secretly which leads them to visiting escorts etc behind closed doors

I’m Redpill MGTOW. Women are nothing of worth to me. No stinky fish, no friends of her waiting in line, no bullshit, no drama, no problems, nothing.
If a woman tries to gain your attention, it’s not you, it’s something you’ve got she wants. This is something a lot of men don’t understand and never will. Why is a man’s sexual market worth he’s assets doesn’t seem to fall in their small brains.

Well, well, well, it seems like our striking Scandinavian sisters have found a booming market in the exotic land of Dubai! These Swedish femmes fatales are making waves as they confidently sell their wares, proving that financial stability and education go hand in hand. Unlike most stereotypes, these ladies aren't struggling to make ends meet or trying to escape overwhelming student debt. No sirree, they are independent and empowered individuals who have turned their charm into cold hard cash. And why Dubai, you may ask? It's simple: sun-kissed beaches, luxurious shopping malls, and an undeniable air of opulence make it the perfect playground for these enterprising ladies. So next time you think about Sweden-Dubai relations, remember that it's not all about IKEA furniture or falafel kebabs; there's a thriving business of independent Swedish women who have found their niche in this glittering desert city.😢

From the first few seconds of the video I knew why he sees prostitutes…he is a turbo manlet. He was probably bullied growing up, which resulted in him having very little confidence in himself. I don't blame him one bit for escortcelling.

Ive never gone to a prostitute myself but honestly I can't blame men who do. At the end of the day there are so many guys out there who are literally so touch-starved and deprived of appreciation from women nowadays they are committing suicide due to loneliness and other mental issues. I hope things improve for Ben.

For me, being brown dude in majority white North America, civilian white women prefer dating civilian white men & civilian black women prefer dating civilian black men, and Latinas you have to know Spanish to date most of them. Most women in North America, are vary of brown middle-eastern or brown South-Asian guys, escorts give me the once in a while sexual release so I can concentrate in my work. Jacking off to porn feels like some cuck shyt & never truly satisfies you.

I'm 32, I lost my virginity to a prostitute when i was 24. I've never had sex without paying for it, I've never been on a date. I stopped paying for sex a few years ago because it was just utterly depressing sometimes during and especially after. I need intimacy. I'm an average looking guy, but I suffered from serious depression since my teens. Became addicted to the internet and my youth passed me by. I missed out on a lot of key developments and now at a older age I think I'm unworthy of any woman. I wouldn't fuck me tbh. All I can say is young guys try to make it the best of it when your young, it only gets harder and you get older.

Ben is really well spoken and his candor is refreshing. I truly believe a man pays for sex one way or another. Not everyone can have a healthy relationship complete with sex.

This is just a stupid anglo culture halfbred taboo between puritan christianity and feminism…
In most other cultures prostitution is a notmal part of mens nights out even when being married or having a good love life.
Back in the day guys used to go to stripclubs, brothels etc after a night out drinking not out of neccesity but just a fun escapade.
Only in english speaking countries and now millenials and genz soy people is this some crazy taboo
In non anglo europe, latinamerica etc prostitution was a pretty normal ocurrence of night life.
The crazy thing is anglo and millenial/gen z culture make a big fuzz of prostitution but consume porn almost daily which is a digital version of the same thing.

I honestly think we should normalize this. Most guy that do this aren't sex addicts or can't get laid. It's simply more convenient. No baggage, no drama, no paying for the first date. Just a one time payment to get your rocks off and you're back to your day to day. The hoops we need to jump through to get laid or even to get noticed is substantially more difficult. This allows us to bypass all of that. I wish this was legal with restrictions of course. I defenently don't wont sex trafficking or anything like that going on. If we can just regulate it then I think we'd have an overall better society.
