I've paid for sex four times with three different women. The first time was inspired when I was going home from a club in SoHo (London) and a girl approached me. I turned her down, but that got me looking at all the phonebooth ads differently and one night, horny and bored I called one up. I was at her place 20 minutes later. She was having a very busy night (at one point she had three guys waiting). It wasn't very good, just quick in and out. I was pretty dissatisfied. A couple months later I decided to try another girl on a weekday night. This was far more relaxed, but still not that great. When I got back from England I started looking up escorts in my area and found one everyone described as a GFE (Girlfriend experience), I thought that would be more what I'd be happy with so for a birthday present to myself one year I went to see her. It was better, but still not as good as in a real relationship. I went to her one more time about a year later and had a pretty bad time, which put me off the biz for good. I'm not opposed to the concept of paying for sex, lord knows without it I'd have gone a looong stretch of time without any sex, but in the end I decided it's not worth the money.
