Explain the allure of hiring a prostitute?

With all the discussion in this thread to date, and despite the tangential side-tracks, I think the OP is answered. OP can’t imagine getting it up for a whore, and his only picture of a prostitute is the sleazy street-walker whore standing on the corner (from the OP). The answers to his question, to summarize, are:
– No, not all prostitutes are like that.
– Many males have a really powerful urge to get laid.
– Yes, Virginia, there really are many males that simply can’t get any, for various reasons.
– Yes, Grude, among such males there really are:
– – (a) Many who really want and will only accept a relation that has something more than bare naked pussy to it.
– – (b) Many who really want a relation that has something more than bare naked pussy to it, but failing that, will get that B.N.P. however they can, often by bare naked $$$, and yes they can get it up for that.
– – (c) Many who really aren’t all that insistent on having a real relation, or who don’t care for that at all (witness Polar Bear) are are quite content to get all their needs bought with bare naked $$$.

At the risk of being redundant (all the above having been thrashed out in this thread already), I wanted to add this, with the following quote:

Yes, there really are plenty of people “so absolutely lacking in any personality or charm”. Here’s one perception of such a person:

But wait, you say! Even THAT guy somehow got married and had a family. Well… There are plenty others who simply never manage anything like that.
