Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health Guys, My boyfriend has used prostitutes before. Is it a red flag?
Anonymous
My boyfriend recently told me that he has used prostitutes before we met. He says he only did it once and that it was many years ago but I am not sure if this is true. I don't really know what I think because I just don't know if this is normal for guys. Are there certain types of guys who visit prostitutes or do most guys try it out at some point in their lives? Is it a red flag? If they have used them before are they likely to do it again when they are married or can it simply be something they tried when they were young and that's it? Do guys typically continue to use prostitutes if they have done so in the past? I don't really care that he did it in his past, I am just concerned what it might mean in the future.

What Guys Said
(23)He didn't have to tell you, did he? He chose to tell you because he trusted you, tried it once and never tried it again. Some people just like to try everything in life at least once before they kick the bucket.
i used a prostitute before.. paid and got on with life.
never went back again. call it peer pressure call it curiosity call it hornyness..
for me it was nothing like it was cracked to be.
yes yes I did wear a condom.
I am not as dumb as I look :)
What was it like? lol
@frozenhorizon I went though the mechanics and did the deed :) but it was like blaah.. interesting tough other army buddies would go crazy about screwing ad paying for it. it just made it more exciting. I guess.
I would find someone else. You are going to be thinking about that your whole relationship. If your not sure its true then why would you trust him?
Nothing wrong with seeing prostitutes.
he said it was ONCE many years ago.
it was probably ONCE many years ago.
I did this once many years ago myself. more out of curiosity than anything else. it was underwhelming.
"He says he only did it once and that it was many years ago but I am not sure if this is true."
Do you have grounds for your disbelief?
I would not red flag it...
all men do this at some point. Mostly not for their whole life. Its' not much different than marriage really
Nah, it's no big deal.
Not many do, it's kinda a red flag
Lol yeah millions of Backpage girls spend $1000 at a time for escort ads while every guy admits to it when asked. Hell I'd say the majority do at least once in the lives, you are very naive to think otherwise. Hell I do, it's cheaper than traditional dating even at $300 an hour (most people's time is not free or worthless).
