Hundreds ? Just to ejaculate ? Whoa. I guess that’s why I will never hire a prostitute. That amount of money could buy me a nice goody bag of far more pleasurable stuff (fine booze, fancy food, books, CDs, DVDs) than having 20 minutes of “sex” with a woman who does me not because I’m handsome and intelligent but because I paid for it.
Frankly, I don’t know what “johns” find in that.
I think this has been answered before, but I don’t recollect the details :- you can’t put them through without a room number because there’s some scams possible if you do, correct ? Something along the lines of pretending to be hotel security ?
On your original question :- if I had a gorgeous prostitute in my room, yes I’d want to spend more than 20 minutes with her, even to spend time just looking at her and carressing her nonsexually. But I’d never employ a prostitute in the first place.
I suspect the set of prostitute users and the set of men who adore just looking at and caressing woman doesn’t intersect very much.
I see what you did 
I don’t get the thrill of the hunt thing, Sage Rat. If finding women to have sex with is “the hunt”, then hiring a prostitute is the equivalent of shooting animals at the zoo.
It depends on the man. Going against society’s rules, against his wife’s boundaries, having the financial surplus to purchase a prostitute, etc. are all reasons why a man might feel like he’s accomplishing something for which he can beat his chest.
A good overview of men and their various motivations can be read in this PDF. It uses several studies, from both the mens and womens sides, to get a look at what all happens and why.
Me too. Everytime I go shopping at Sams, I see this big sign for some major drugs, one of them being Viagra. I always note that its like 10 or 20 dollars a pop. And I always think “man, thats kinda pricey”.
Obviously, a lower than normal sex drive and excessive thriftyness is a bad combo.
I was thinking about the possibility of it being another financial transaction than sex such as drugs (or maybe a Russian mole handing off critical intelligence!).
Or, maybe, she got in the room and he showed her the three feet of broom handle he planned to shove up her ass while choking her and she said “no thanks” and left.
As for the fun of foreplay and postplay, I’ve not used a prostitute but for me those things would be significantly less fun for knowing that the other person involved likely doesn’t give a damn (so would the sex itself but I’d say the diminishment there would be to a lesser degree).
Several years ago there was an “Ask the Guy who Used to Frequent Prostitutes” thread. Very interesting.
That’s the crux of the OP’s question, I think: what sort of person finds a 20 minute quicky with a prostitute hundreds of dollars better than masterbation? Is there some appeal that can be explained?
An actual person who I have a relationship with, yes. Random person to whom I am one of four or more customers that night, no. Not to mention that a hand is cheaper and more sanitary. I’ve never understood the appeal of prostitutes myself. I’d just think of what she would be thinking about me, and that would kill it right there.
One of my favourite stories was the little man in the hat. A small guy (under 5 feet) walks into the lobby with an obvious prostitute. This was a Red Roof Inn.
He came in and wanted a room. I gave it to him and it was very busy. Back then we’d write the check in time on the card. Then five minutes later he came back and threw his key down. I said, “Something wrong, you need a new room.” He says “I’m done.” And he left.
As a gay man I know many gay men who use “Call boys” or whatever. As they explained to me, “I don’t have time to fool around with this crap.”
And it makes sense. Most are men making good salaries. They make over $50,000 a year, which is a bit mor than 24 dollars an hour. It’s gonna cost them about $100 bucks for an hour. That’s not that much really. It’s only what like a bit more than fours hours (I know I’m ignoring taxes but you get the idea)
As one guys said to me. “What I go to a bar, spend four or five hours there, spend $50 bucks on drinks, HOPE I find someone that I’m attacted to, and then MAYBE he’ll do what I want him to.” This way I get exactly what I want, I get it WHEN I want it, and then I can get on to other things.
I was so dumb when I started working overnights in hotels. I would have people cheating on the the people they’re cheating with.
I worked up by O’Hare airport once and a very beautiful young woman says “Can you call me a cab. I’m going downtown.” I said, “Oh that’ll cost a lot, like $75.00. Why don’t you take our free shuttle bus to O’Hare and catch the subway.” She was smiling at me and the security guard comes over and says “Mark, just get her a cab.” So I did, and then he says “Mark that was a prostitute. She don’t care how much it costs. She ain’t paying for it.”
Well the OP already answered his own question with that old adage “people don’t pay prostitutes for sex they pay them to leave after.” I imagine most people employ prostitutes for ease and convenience, not sheer desperation or inability to get any female companionship period. The patron in the story could have been married or had a girlfriend. He probably already gets all the small talk he needs. I’ve heard people sometimes like companionship from their prostitutes, but it doesn’t strike me as odd that someone would want to do their business then bounce.
All you know about this woman is that she’s hot and has sex for money. What if you didn’t have much in common? What would you talk about? If you are engaging her in that type of relationship, you essentially view her as walking talking pornography, and she views you as a source of income. Which is fine, but I don’t know if it lends much to sparkling conversation.
It’s my opinion that 20 minutes of sex with a beautiful woman is more entertaining than jerking off. In addition, maybe this patron frequently engages prostitutes of that caliber. Maybe it’s not such a big deal to him that he feels it is necessary to spend hours simply gazing at her beauty.
BTW, bienville, do you resell rooms? Just after we were married my wife worked a 4 - midnight shift on the desk of a fairly cheap chain, and she had one or two customers a night check in and check out again a few hours later. The managers loved it - housekeeping made up the room, and they sold it again. She was under the impression that these were people screwing around on the side, not hookers and Johns, though.
You’re in (or near) Chicago and you’re dealing with $100/hr Call Girls/Boys???
Although I have never actually hired a prostitute there was a period of time a while back when I would regularly research the availability of prostitutes (at this particular time, my self esteem was low and I hadn’t been in a relationship for quite some time).
Anyone I would have felt comfortable booking cost about $300/hr (and such a large percentage cost $300/hr that it seemed the industry standard).
Also, there was always a 1 hour minimum. So if you’re done in 20mins, you’re still paying for the entire hour- I didn’t make this point in my OP, but that’s definitely part of my “why send her away after 20mins?”
Voyager, no overnight housekeeping staff so no reselling of rooms.
Heh. My first thought: the John got cold feet. I mean, hiring prostitutes in most of the USA is illegal, after all. And this is just such a strange interaction - we normally don’t find strangers expecting us to boink them minutes after meeting. I could see a guy after a few beers thinking that hiring a prostitute sounded like a fine idea, but in the clinch just saying “I’m sorry, this is just too weird.”
If this girl seemed so much more beautiful than any other prostitute you’d ever seen, maybe she made up for it with some blemish or disfigurement that you couldn’t see until the clothes came off.
Another possibility is that the girl came in, the john tried to insist on something kinky or unusual that would have cost more (or simply been off limits), negotiations fell through and she left.
There is an appeal of hookers for some people; the appeal is sex. For some it’s sex even with hookers. But we’ll leave the kinky people out of it for a second. I think once you’ve reached the point where you’d rather pay than go without, the amount of time spent is largely irrelevant. You’ve already decided that real human being sex is worth the money.
I am given to understand that gay men come a lot cheaper (no pun intended).
My curiosity finally got the better of me. What does the security guy do if she calls him? Kick the door in? How does this go down with the hotel employee on duty? Even if security is preventing a crime, now you’ve got a broken door–one that was broken in the commission of another crime. So what happens?
Yeah, I think this whole prostitution thing is a fad. Never gonna catch on.
