Paying for sex - is this more common than I thought?
Hi everyone, This is my first post, but I've been reading GC for a while now. It's very addicting. . . GC has kept me very entertained for many months. I'm not greek, but maybe one day I will be. I just need to get myself together before making that lifetime commitment.
Anyway. . . I'm very curious to see what GC folks think about the following situation. I look forward to honest, real anwers:
I've been seeing this gentleman for 8 months and it has been wonderful.
One day (jokingly) I asked if he had ever paid for sex and he seriously said yes! I did not expect that because I was just trying to be funny. Big mistake on my part. He went on to share the story of when he went to Mexico in his mid 20s (he is now in his early 40s) on vacation and he hired 2 prostitutes for a 3some. He said he only did it to see what a 3some felt like and after that came to the conclusion that one-on-one sex was the only way to go for him because he preffered to focus on one woman during sex. He also said he never did it again and never wants to. He told me he shared the story with me because "it was a long time ago, it's not me anymore and I don't want to spoil what we have by me telling you a lie." I was shocked so I just sat there. Speechless. Then I thanked him for being so honest. I went home and been thinking about it alot and what this means for the future of our relationship. I was beginning to think he might actually be my Mr. Right because of how well the past 8 months have been going. But now after this story, I'm wondering if I should be concerned and run away as fast as I can!
Uh, should I be happy he trusted me enough to tell me? I realize this is hard for men to do because of how we women react to their honesty. . . A part of me is very disappointed that he has it in his character to do something like this, even if it was 15 years ago. He also mentioned that it is not uncommon for men in their 20s to pay for sex as a one time thing, for exploration purposes. Is this true?
Anyway, I was just wondering what GCers thougth about this? Any personal experiences would be appreciated, but opiniions are good too.
