    Maybe a stupid question but can sex with a escort be as damaging to you as porn in anyway?

    If it's not sex in a normal, healthy relationship with someone you love, then it's bad for you to some degree. There is zero emotional bond with an escort. You may as well use VR porn and a fleshlight and then at least you avoid the risk of STDs. Of course, it's better to just stick with NoFap altogether.
     
  3. Yup and it can also be very addicting. Don't replace one bad habit with another.
     
  4. Pretty stupid question, yes. If it's not equally consensual sex with another person, it hurts your ability to interact in healthy sexual relations. Healthy sex is a social act. With an escort, you would simply replace Pornhub with another person as a toy for your personal pleasure. (Not to mention supporting the very industry that made you addicted in the first place...)

    Worse. It's all part of the same thing: sexual activity outside of a relationship with another human being (besides the occasional, basic M by yourself without P or other related stimulation) makes everything harder when you are in fact with someone with whom you have a relationship.

    Much worse. Virtually every person who currently has a prostitution addiction started with a porn addiction. Hiring a prostitute is an escalation of behavior, not a de-escalation.

    Think about it--your addiction to porn is caused by the dopamine you're conditioning your brain with. If porn makes my dopamine spike, what do you think will happen to my dopamine levels when a hot woman in the flesh is going to town on me? And not only that--but now I'm on my way from being addicted to something that was 100% free to something that costs me a few hundred $$$ each time.

    Jes because you are not getting the dopamine feeling when you seduce a woman and get laid with her.

    The reason why we stopped NoFap and porn is to change our dopamine changes in our brain.

    When you actually like a girl and seduce her and get sex with her you get "positive dopamine" like it should be..

    You're brain does now the difference between "payed sex" and sex when you seduced one how? THE FEAR OF REJECTION. if you overcome that and get laid you get a amazing feeling..

    If you stop doing masturbation you will get a drive to seduce woman.

    Part of the same cycle. If you paid for sex and you are not satisfied, it will trigger you to watch porn and masturbate. One thing lead to an other.

    Recovering sex addict here. Yeah, stay away from that shit. Surprised nobody mentioned it, but the risk profile is very different. You run the risks of STDs, arrest, being ripped off or robbed, etc.

    Superfan said it best: it's an escalation. Greater risk, more expensive, different "high." You'd be moving from beer to crack.

    Yes, it can also easily become an addiction. And an expensive and dangerous one at that.

    I don't know. I met some really nice escorts who I had a very nice conversation with and they given me honest compliments. I think for a single man like me who doesn't get the time of the day with other women it can mean alot.
    So basically its not really the sex for me but more the interaction and being with a woman that I seek and the only way I get it is from escorts how sad that may seem.

    I believe in freedom of choice, so as long an escort is not a victim of human trafficking, i wouldn't try to tell you that you're wrong. Moreover, i would be a hypocrite, because i've used escorts as well. And i agree, it can be a very satisfactory experience, in ways other than just sexual.

    I think what some of us here are worried about is that use of prostitutes is arguably a "harder drug" than porn, as it can be highly addictive and carries some more extreme risks.

    Paying for sex is a far worse symptom of a disease that starts with watching others having sex.

    Both are secretive unhealthy ways to act out sexually. The addiction that includes escorts will certainly be discovered when the low bank account and unpaid bills can no longer be explained away.

    It's only bad if the girl is not hot.

    Why can't you find a non- hooker gal to possibly date?
     
  18. My guess is he has some insecurities.

    Paid sex is worse than porn, not only because of the greater risk, but also because you're now hurting another human being just to get your fix. Who cares if escorts say they're "happy" or "like what they do". The simple reality is no woman in her right mind would choose prostitution as a desired career path. Most escorts are drug addicts, sex slaves, or single parents doing what they can to survive in a system that shits on parents and even more so on single parents.

    The reality is none of these women really want to fuck you for cash.
     
  19. well put.

    Gotta similar mind. I stopped using right now, but in the past, when I entered escort service or girls apartment and saw that she's not able to spend time with tease, small talk, being warm i did step back and runaway. I am sapiosexualist I hope and I just can't have sex with stupid girl...
