Are Sex Workers Relationship Deal Breakers?
What does paying for sex work say about a man's character?
During my Fifty First Dates experiment, I encountered something I'd never anticipated: men who sought out sex workers.
I should tell you that despite the fact that I'm terribly chatty (I was always in trouble for talking in school), I can be a good listener. Because I'm insatiably curious about people, I also ask a lot of questions. In this instance, the answers surprised me.
It went a little something like this.
Guy one, whom I call Thunderbolt in my dating memoir, mentioned hiring a sex worker the very first time I met him. He was (is!) very attractive and charming. I was somewhat surprised he was single. (FYI the answer to the single question is he's avoidant with a capital 'A' as he looks for his Manic Pixie Dream Girl). I'm not sure what prompted the question, but I did ask what he did for companionship as he's mostly not been in any kind of serious long-term relationship in his late twenties, thirties, nor early forties.
His answer?
"Massages."
I'm rarely stumped, but I'll admit to taking a long pause as I tried to put two and two together and not come up with five. Thunderbolt must have seen the question on my face because he elaborated. "Happy ending massages."
