I wonder if there's a third type too where a person has an extremely busy life and doesn't have time or possibly doesn't want an intimate relationship.
I don't know if it's "right" that this type of person pays for sex. I think it makes sense as long as they respect the person that they're paying and understand this person does not 'belong' to them - but this last point appears to be a problem for people whenever they pay anyone for anything.
There's plenty of other types, those were just the ones I had time to write about before I pop off to work for the day.
Your comment led me towards an amusing thought: in the Harry Potter universe, goblins sell things to wizards for the duration of the wizard's life, but then they expect it to go back to the goblins because ownership works differently for them vs wizards. Wizards don't always/usually understand or respect that. So... If I ever was in the position to open a brothel, perhaps I'd name it "The Goblin's Den." I... Don't know what kind of clientele that would attract though.
Weird cross over but okay :D
That would be me. I work 60 hours a week most weeks. I just want regular, casual, no strings attached sex.
Unfortunately I can't actually afford sex workers, but some day...
