IMO, prostitute sex doesn't even count as sex... it's basically masturbating inside a person.

I totally disagree on both parts. I don't know any guy who really enjoyed his first time on a deeply emotional level. It is a mechanical thing that has to be done and once you start developing more physical confidence then maybe emotions may develop (but for many men they never do and it stays a physical affair).

On the second point: it really depends on what kind of prostitute you are talking about. I'd imagine you're right when it comes to whores you pick up from the sidewalk for a 10-minute masturbation session. That's not what I was talking about...ew. A higher-priced escort offers all sorts of emotional and companionship type stuff as well. There are even ones that "specialize" in taking virginity if you look for it, so I bet you they will do it right and in such a way that you don't end up being in love with her for the rest of your life.

Disclaimer: I'm not speaking from experience, I've never paid for sex. I'm just repeating what I've heard from others + common sense.
