I was reading a thread on hookers and the same usual complaints came up:
- Fear of diseases
- Fear of being guy #100 (ie. fear of inadequacy? fear of cooties?)
- Fear of getting busted
- Fear that she won't enjoy it and thus YOU won't enjoy it
Those are honestly many of the same fears that have prevented me from buying a hooker.
I was reflecting on this, and it occurred to me we are probably the first generation of men to be so paralyzed by fear of prostitutes.
A lot of changes have supposedly happened to us as men over time. For example, we have lower sperm counts than prior generations. People often say we're softer and more neurotic. We're apparently such pussies as an entire generation, we're now afraid to even handle raw meat in the kitchen. In older generations, not only did you handle the meat - you hunted, killed, and butchered the meat.
Is our fear of prostitutes a manifestation of the same processes? Are we becoming so risk-averse, so germophobic, so "sensitive", we can't do what men have done for centuries before us?
In the old days, many men were "incel" too, because respectable women would only have sex after marriage. There was no Tinder. Religion was enforced. So if you wanted to get laid without "buying the cow", you went to a prostitute.
Some of the most famous men in history were frequenters of prostitutes:
- Beethoven
- Abe Lincoln
- Howard Hughes
- John F Kennedy
- King Charles II
- Charlie Sheen
The list is endless, but looking at just those men, you can see they come from many backgrounds. Beethoven was one of the greatest musicians of all time but short, ugly, and only wanted to marry high class woman out of his league, so he had no choice but to get drunk and fuck hookers in the Red Light District. John F Kennedy was considered one of the Chaddest presidents in American history, yet he supposedly lost his virginity at 17 to a hooker in Harlem. Charlie Sheen was a Chad in his day and never had trouble getting women, yet he's said he's spent over $1 million on hookers because he says they're efficient and easy.
Prostitutes have played a major role in every culture through history, from Renaissance Europe, to the Ottoman Empire, to Japanese OIran, to the Brothels and Bawdy Houses of the Old West. Sex slaves have been taken by every army prior to the 19th century from every conquest, and shared broadly among the men to be used one after another like prostitutes.
In historical times, prostitutes were quite literally deadly. There were no condoms. Men died frequently from syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea from these hookers.
And yet that did not stop them from going.
Currently, the biggest health risk of sex with prostitutes is herpes, which is at worse a nuissance. As long as you use a condom, you're not going to catch anything else. Compared to the Russian Roulette of Beethoven's day, it's never been safer.
And yet we've never been more afraid.
Why is that?
I honestly don't know, but I think it probably does reflect that there are some changes that are happening in terms of who we are as men. Probably the fact that our sperm is dropping so much is not an isolated issue. This may reflect other changes in our gender. We seem more risk averse. Our fear of germs and "ick" is starting to border on irrational (ie. to the point where we can't even handle meat). Probably this is also a manifestation of why so many guys seem "grossed out" by even the female vagina and describe it as "roast beef" even if it's perfectly normal.
I think that it's probably fair to say that buying hookers has always been considered pretty normal for men. And despite it being safer than ever, in our generation, the fear of doing so has never been higher. If JFK was not afraid to lose his virginity to a hooker at 17, then why are we so afraid that we are going until our late 20s or 30s without being willing to do the same?
Are we losing our virility? ie. Our raw drive for sex, which is meant to overpower almost all reason for men? Are we all becoming "grass eaters" as the Japanese say? Are we "beta nu-male cucks"?
I'm starting to think that may be the case.
