Ask him why now. Should be interesting.
1. Men’s baseline sex drive is more visually-triggered and opportunistic.
Biology leans that way. Men tend to separate sex from emotion more easily, so a transactional encounter scratches the itch without guilt.
2. Women can get sex for free.
Brutally simple. Even average-looking women have a much easier time finding willing partners. When the supply is abundant, why pay?
3. Social reputation works differently.
Men get ribbed for
not getting sex. Women get judged for “too many partners.” So discreet paid sex fills a need for men while offering control. For women, paying introduces social risk for little benefit.
4. Emotional context.
On average, women care more about connection, chemistry, and safety. Paying for a stranger rarely satisfies that, while men are more comfortable with purely physical novelty.
5. Sexual power dynamics.
Historically, women have been the gatekeepers of sex and men have been the pursuers. The sex trade simply industrialized that old dance.
6. Greater male loneliness.
A lot of men struggle with dating, confidence, or even basic intimacy skills. Paying becomes the only door not slammed in their face.
7. Age mismatch pressure.
As men age, sexual access declines
harder and faster than women realize. Escorts become the fallback.
Combine all that and you get a reality that hasn’t budged in centuries:
Men chase.
Women choose.
Money fills the gap when choosing fails.
