Would you pay a prostitute $100 for a cuddle?

Is an "I would never go to a prostitute" option too innappropriate?

Can't really answer this as the poll doesn't include an answer that I would never use a prostitute, period.

I don't think I would ever use a prostitute, but I've never lacked the kind of companionship I want for various sexual and non-sexual things. I don't know if I ever would go to one.

I'm a sex worker, and I've been paid more than that "just for a cuddle". My hourly rate is my hourly rate- what we get up to during that time is flexible.

I personally find that having a chat about politics and critical sexology ends up happening whatever the scene and whomever the client. I just attract the sort of clients who want to chat, which is good, cause I like to chat too! I do sex work partially because I enjoy getting to know people in this intimate, intense way. I also enjoy helping people with their sexual/relationship issues, and we often talk about how to challenge their worries about communication and honesty.

Oh, also, I have paid for sex work and would again- perhaps because I like the simplicity and the boundaries that are in place. If I wanted to have a threesome with my lover, we might pay a professional so we didn't have to worry about drama. If I developed a disability, I would use a sex worker to learn how to be a sexual being with my disability. I've worked with women who had sexual trauma and wanted to learn how to enjoy erotic touch. Sex work does not equal sleazy.

I'd never pay a prostitute. I would talk to her/him and talk to them about the lifestyle but I'm happy with my guy!

first i have to say that i don't understand why over 1/3 of people refuse to answer this question. if i used prostitutes, i don't think i would pay them for cuddling. though, if someone was feeling very lonely (not just sexually but emotionally too) i can understand why they would.

Prostitues aren't my thing... plus I don't think I'd need to pay any guy to have sex with me, so no need for a prostitue anyways haha

If I was that touch-starved I could probably find someone in a bar to cuddle me I'm sure.

Well, if someone's desperate enough for human contact and they can't afford a Realdoll, I don't see the harm in paying for a prostitute to cuddle with. Going to prostitutes instead of searching for legitimate relationships might not be the healthiest thing to do, but it's better than wallowing in misery and self-pity and ending up slashing prostitutes out of some misguided sense of being wronged by women... :|

People pay sex workers to provide a variety of services for a variety of reasons. I wouldn't personally do it (pay for cuddling), but I think generalizing why people do things is very simplistic.

A little pricey, no?

Haha, no, I would not pay a prostitute to cuddle. =P

If I ever paid for a prostitute, it's going to be for sex not cuddling.

... This is kind of odd for me to say, since I generally hate touching or being touched by strangers, but I might actually pay someone for an hour of hugging and cuddling. (Maybe not $100, though.)

It could just be the loneliness talking, though. For a few reasons, I don't get many opportunities for hugs anymore, and it's been really wearing on me lately. I love hugs - I get a far greater euphoric response out of being hugged than I do from kissing.

... Hey, kids, it's the "Listen to Rin Sound as Pathetic as Possible" show! Sorry, folks. I don't mean to do it.

Eh, can't see why someone would, but most of the people I hang out with are huggy, so I'm content on that aspect of my life.

Umm, you didn't list my option here. I'd never even hire a prostitute, for anything.

Interesting article. I don't quite know how to answer the question so I chose I refuse. Here's why, I wouldn't pay a prostitute to do anything because I have friends that are more than willing to be my shoulder to cry on. I have a husband that is more than willing to give me loving.

No. Cuddling is something I do with a loved one. I'm not sure what the point would be if the person doing the cuddling was only doing it for cash.
