h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Good grief Xan, no wonder you never get any! Men don't just have one erogenous zone, they have loads! Insides of the thighs, inner forearms, nipples- there are just as many as for women. Just because chicken tastes good, that doesn't mean it's all you can eat

More to the point- dildos and vibrators are different from penises. They're usually harder, with little give in the surfaces, and they frequently move in unusual ways. Condoms don't mould to them properly- that's why they feel uncomfortable and are more likely to tear than if they were on a penis.

Hey Xan, what do you have against wetsuits?

Nothing at all, girls look very nice in tight wetsuits.

As long as they have some womanliness about their figure All the wonderful roundness and slopes and curves about legs and waists and hips and bums get even better.

Mind you, it's not just a neoprene thing - a female figure in PVC suit and caving harness can look pretty damn as well.

wetsuits.
Yes.

Hmm, does the caving harness add anything? Or is it just cos then there is more to hold on to?

Caving oversuits tend not to be body-hugging, since they need to leave room for movement.
A properly adjusted sit-harness (with the belt section tight around the waist, and the leg-loops defining the bottom of the backside) does great things for the figure.
Heck, even some *bloke's* bums can start to look reasonable.

So, ever done it in a cave?

It does kinda answer the questions. Interestingly he explicitly states most of the conclusions that this thread came to. Men pay women to go away after sex, and that putting a cost on the transaction is a self-respect thing for prostitutes and a respect thing for their clients.

Interesting stuff. I wonder if he was raised a Catholic.

Do men really feel like this?

Or is he the exception?!?

Some men do, GB, and some men don't.

I suspect that he is at one end of the bell curve. What he has is a fetish for anonymous, functional, transactionised sex. My guess is that all men are aware of the allure of that, some men act on it occasionally with varying degrees of satisfaction and self-disgust. This one has a full-blown kink for it.

I guess it depends on what a man wants on the other end of his transaction. Some men I would guess would rather have that loathesome security of a long-term relationship. I suppose the problem might not be so much men like the author, but men who want to play both games and expect it to work out.

I used to work in a bar that served as a meeting point for a local Escort Agency and their clients. I got to know the girls quite well as they chatted over the bar, waiting for Mr X to show up.
One in particular, was new to the whole game. She was absolutely stunning. and still had a gleam in her eye. Her reasons for doing it was (at least this is what she said) was to pay her mortgage at a time she was out of work.
I got to know her well, so wel lthat we went out for several meals but I never overstepped the mark, just wanting to be a friend. I told her once that she still looked so alive, and that she should get out before the "look" in her eyes died...........eight months later, it had and she now found herself so used to the money, that going back into legitimate work would simply not fund this new lifestyle.

Having said all that, men can and do visit these girls and can function completely normally back home with the wife. Speaking to the girls, I got a good insight into what went on (Some hysterically funny, others plain weird) but a number of them had clients going back years that maybe saw them once a month. The vast majority normally came to the girls for the usual Nurse, Schoolgirl, etc outfits - the sort of clothing thing that the wives/girlfriends would not do.
There was the other stuff going on, but in their opinion, it was the lack of female partners (for whatever reason) declining to do the mild fantasy stuff that kept them coming back.

>> in their opinion, it was the lack of female partners (for whatever reason) declining to do the mild fantasy stuff that kept them coming back.

I have to wonder whether or not they asked, though.

Yeah, maybe it would be no fun/too wierd to allow the partner to meet that need. I'd hate to not even be given a chance .

I guess I don't understand why people are so unfair as to be willing to to be in a relationship if they're going to make themselves liars over it. If the significant other approves of something like visiting whores, fine. But people who live deceitful, double lives just to have what they want are so damned selfish, IMO. Then again, I come from the school of relationship thought that it's a fundamental right for a person to know what kind of person he/she is with (and of course, if he/she can trust her partner not to bring home a risk of disease). Maybe that's just not realistic.
