Why Men Go To Prostitutes, A New Study

[G_Zidane]

I just had to post this here:

This is a London England study and pertains to London's demographics. Would be interesting to have a Toronto study of this sort.

"Two agencies collaborated in producing this research report.
Eaves runs the POPPY Project, providing accommodation and support to women trafficked into the UK for the purposes of exploitation through prostitution and domestic servitude. The POPPY Project is an internationally recognised model of good practice in supporting women who have been trafficked into prostitution to exit the sex industry."
Prostitution Research & Education (PRE) is a US non-governmental non-profit organisation which has since 1995 researched and documented the harms resulting from prostitution and trafficking and explored alternatives to prostitution. PRE offers educational materials and resources on its widely-used website (www.prostitutionresearch.com). PRE is formally affiliated with the Pacific Graduate School of Psychology and with the Center for World Indigenous Studies"

Table 1 – Selected comments about prostitution by London men who buy sex


It’s like renting a girlfriend or wife. You get to choose like a catalogue.”
“I feel sorry for these girls but this is what I want.”
“No big deal, it’s just like getting a beer.”
“I like it if it’d be super expensive…she comes in, nothing said and she is instantly very sexual, a sexual creature.”
“My favourite experience in prostitution was when she was totally submissive.”
“I don’t like the ones that make no secret of it being a job. I like customer care. They try to finish quickly but I want to take a little bit of time.”
“I have sex as a means to an end to meet my sexual needs… It’s a financial transaction.”
“I found her on punternet.com and she looked at me with the look of a puppy dog in the Christmas window.”
“Look, men pay for women because he can have whatever and whoever he wants. Lots of men go to prostitutes so they can do things to them that real women would not put up with.
“If you go to the wrong one, you might as well be in a morgue, there’s a slab of flesh there.”
“We’re living in the age of instant coffee, instant food. This is instant sex.”
“Prostitution is a last resort to unfulfilled sexual desires. Rape would be less safe, or if you’re forced to hurt someone or if you’re so frustrated you jack off all day.”
“Prostitution is being able to do what you want without the taxation.”
”It’s no strings attached sex, no bother about buying gifts, it’s a one off financial commitment.”
“It should be legalised over here. This is the way God created us. It is being human. If you don’t have a partner then you have to go to a prostitute.”
“It’s unfulfilling, there’s no reward. It’s empty. It’s terrible. You come out feeling even more empty and unloved. You will likely feel quite empty afterwards, as if you have been used.”
“Prostitution is like being able to masturbate without doing any of the work.”
“You pay for the convenience, a bit like going to a public loo.”
“I hugely recommend it but be sure you know there’s a threshold you’ll be crossing. Prostitution is naturally questionable, whether it’s to yourself or to society.”

4.1 Sample demographics
4.1 Age
T
able 2
Age 18-29 30% (n=31)
Age 30-40 36% (n=37)
Age 41-70 33% (n=34)

The average age of the 103 research participants was 38, with a range of 18 to 70.
These age ranges are consistent with other studies of men who buy sex. McKeganey (1994) interviewed 70 men in Glasgow, whose average age was 37 years, ranging from age 23 to 61. Busch, Bell and colleagues (2002) interviewed 1,342 buyers arrested for solicitation of prostitution in the Western United States whose average age was 39, ranging from 18 to 84 years.

And in next month's highly expensive, grossly over budget government study...

Great, now some born again politician is going to try and stiffen the prostitution laws.

When asked how many prostitutes they had ever paid for, 15 was the number most often mentioned, although the numbers ranged from 1 to 2,000. Twelve percent of

[Pompal 09.]

The simple answer... because they can! :roll:

Simple a case of supply and demand... if the demand is there, low and behold, the supply finds a way.

They had to justify the grant they rec'd somehow... come on...

Ya can't blow $50,000 on hookers and not have ANYTHING to show for it!

Submit your report in person to this building...

I'm sure there'll be a few guys showing more than a hint of interest! (Ms. Carter gets that a lot... I'm sure... )

 

[Tara C]

Is there any particular reason you named iceman_dci twice???

Poor guy. Tell us what you really think of him, CG....

Too be honest, I just copy and pasted from the awards page. Hee hee :???:

Since I don't spend much time at all in the reviews section, I took a short cut as to whom the "power" reviewers were, I figured it was a safe bet to use the awards page as a benchmark... and since the iceman is SO prolific... he was mention several times, and I simply overlooked it... (is anyone buying any of this or should I stop now?)

OK... You busted me! I'm living vicariously through the reviewers on this board!!!

Can someone send this officer to slap the cuffs on me??

PREASE!
