People of Reddit, have you ever used a prostitute and would you ever do it again/recommend?

Yes, I had sex with a woman I paid. Minutes before it wasn't even a thought.

Would I again? I don't know.

Would I recommend it? That would depend on the person, their situation and many other factors.

My story:. This took place in the small window between my first and second wife.

It was a miserable hot and muggy night and I couldn't sleep, no air. On nights like this I would ride my bicycle to the end of the next street, an unofficial park/beach/party place, and sit on the water's edge and enjoy the only coolness I could.

There was a girl with two guys drinking on the other side of the beach. After awhile the girl came over to me and asked me if I was with an acronym I never heard. No, I don't even know what it is. It is the local interagency drug enforcement unit.

Since I wasn't a cop she asked me if I wanted to party. I'm still ignorant. She asked me if I had a certain amount of money. I was starting to catch on... sure, I could use what I thought was going to be a blowjob, I handed her the money and she handed me a condom and took her pants off. That is when I finally understood what was going on.

So I fucked her. Her and her friends had beer money.

I went home and slept much better.
