UBT on Guy Who Wants to Keep Both Sex Workers and His Girlfriend

‘Tis the season for cake.

Here’s a new flavor, courtesy of some whackadoodle advice columnist at Slate — a guy who’s dating an “amazing” woman, but doesn’t want to give up his hooker habit.

I (35, male) started dating someone (33, female) recently that I’ve really enjoyed connecting with and have found a higher level of chemistry with than anyone else I’ve dated. It’s exciting and has given me a chance to imagine a stable future with someone, something I’ve struggled to imagine in the past. But there’s something else that’s new for me this year that complicates things: I’ve started seeing sex workers.

To be clear, I’ve attempted to pursue it in the most ethical manner possible, being careful to consider everyone’s safety and consent. The moral issue of sex buying is a serious one for me, but one that I’ve ultimately come to believe can be ethical in the right context. What ultimately drove me to go in this direction is the desire to have good sex without judgment or pressure and in a way that doesn’t involve random hookups via dating apps.

But to most of the people in my life and our society, this comes with an incredible amount of stigma. It just doesn’t seem plausible to me that she’d be accepting of this part of my recent past, let alone my or our future. Our sexual chemistry isn’t terrible, but it isn’t as strong as I’d like nor as strong as the nonsexual chemistry we have. This has left me torn and wondering how I can bridge the two desires to have a stable, fulfilling relationship with an exciting, expressive sex life. If there’s anything I’d want my new partner to understand, it’s that I believe seeing a sex worker can make me a better partner. Not unlike seeing a therapist, seeing a sex worker allows me to focus on myself for that moment and it alleviates the expectation that my girlfriend be or do things she’s simply not comfortable with or good at. Getting certain sexual needs taken care of elsewhere would allow me to better focus my attention and invest in our relationship.

Am I crazy? Is this simply me trying to have my cake and eat it too? Or do I need to drop my fear of judgment, stand up for what I believe is true, communicate all of this to my partner, and see how it plays out? My inner voice says to do the latter, but everything I know about our culture says the former is how she’ll react.

—Side Hustle

The Universal Bullshit Translator doesn’t have time to sufficiently parse the idiotic reply to this nonsense. The UBT is held together flimsily as it is. I’d have to re-bolt all its sockets after “Unless you meet via a nonmonogamous community or nonmonogamous intentions are stated upfront and essentially written into your union, relationships tend to morph over time into an open arrangement.”

You’ll have to head over to Slate and read it for yourself. Or just engulf your head in flames. Same diff.

Let’s imagine instead that Side Hustle has written to Chump Lady, and been thrown into the Universal Bullshit Translator like a rat in a chipper shredder.

I (35, male) started dating someone (33, female) recently that I’ve really enjoyed connecting with and have found a higher level of chemistry with than anyone else I’ve dated. It’s exciting and has given me a chance to imagine a stable future with someone, something I’ve struggled to imagine in the past. But there’s something else that’s new for me this year that complicates things: I’ve started seeing sex workers.

I’ve started dating someone special. But is she the kind of girl you take home to your stripper?

We have chemistry together, but it’s not the same kind of butterflies I get when I’m buying trafficked 14-year olds.

To be clear, I’ve attempted to pursue it in the most ethical manner possible, being careful to consider everyone’s safety and consent.

Which is why I’m writing to an advice columnist about whether I should tell. My understanding of consent is stuck up my ass along with my butt plug.

Hey, I attempted ethics. Don’t try this at home, kids.

The moral issue of sex buying is a serious one for me, but one that I’ve ultimately come to believe can be ethical in the right context.

If you dim the lights, put on some Al Green… it’s all about the context.

I’ve ultimately come to believe I can justify my entitlement. I take purchasing human beings, supporting organized crime, and exploitation of vulnerable people seriously. It turns me on, so seriously, it’s okay.

What ultimately drove me to go in this direction is the desire to have good sex without judgment or pressure and in a way that doesn’t involve random hookups via dating apps.

I have to buy women because the free ones judge me. You can gag the paid ones, and not hear the withering sarcasm.

I am above random hookups and dating apps. I’m saving myself for backpage ads.

(Is there a chastity ring for that?)

But to most of the people in my life and our society, this comes with an incredible amount of stigma.

Hookers face zero stigma. I, the John, am the real victim here.

It just doesn’t seem plausible to me that she’d be accepting of this part of my recent past, let alone my or our future.

The very worst thing that could happen is a Woman Might Judge Me, so best to keep her in the dark about who I really am, risk her health, and base a future on lies!

Our sexual chemistry isn’t terrible, but it isn’t as strong as I’d like nor as strong as the nonsexual chemistry we have. This has left me torn and wondering how I can bridge the two desires to have a stable, fulfilling relationship with an exciting, expressive sex life.

Fucking women who have no choice but to fuck me is the kind of stability I’ve after.

Bitches with free will? Sorry, you don’t turn me on. But let’s frame this as sex positive bullshit about expression! and excitement! Calling Esther Perel!

If there’s anything I’d want my new partner to understand, it’s that I believe seeing a sex worker can make me a better partner.

I fuck hookers for you, Babe.

#takingonefortheteam

Not unlike seeing a therapist, seeing a sex worker allows me to focus on myself for that moment and it alleviates the expectation that my girlfriend be or do things she’s simply not comfortable with or good at.

I’m sorry, the UBT has had a momentary malfunction as its transponder panel has gone up in flames. 

FOCUS ON MYSELF! (whirrp!) FOCUS ON MYSELF! (clackety-click!) FOCUS ON MYSELF! (bzzzzz!)

MY NARCISSISM BEHOOVES YOU ALL! (whirrp!)

OMG the burning smell.

Getting certain sexual needs taken care of elsewhere would allow me to better focus my attention and invest in our relationship.

Leaving my legs in Toledo would allow me to better focus on my cookie baking.

I’m sorry, the engine fire is still smoldering. 

Am I crazy? Is this simply me trying to have my cake and eat it too? Or do I need to drop my fear of judgment, stand up for what I believe is true, communicate all of this to my partner, and see how it plays out?

I am the true patriot here! GIVE ME STRANGE PUSSY OR GIVE ME DEATH!

My inner voice says to do the latter, but everything I know about our culture says the former is how she’ll react.

The CULTURE denies me my God-given entitlement! But I am called by an Inner Voice to stand for wandering dick freedom! To boldly purchase teenagers in Tennessee or Thailand! To fuck without judgement! Without criminal penalty! AND without charge! (Girlfriends are free).

Validate my misogyny, Slate!

I’m sure you will.

No, but there are cock rings. I hope someone goes straight for a serious chastity cage, keeping the key and sending him on his merry way after they have drugged and robbed him.

The columnist also advised that he devote himself to the real girl for 1-5 years and THEN having the conversation about opening their relationship to hookers and other sex workers so he could have the real girl and his fun on the side as well. The real girl is 33 . . . if she devotes five years to this fuckwit before finding out he wasn’t really serious about monogamy AND he thinks she isn’t good enough in bed, she’s wasted five years of her fertility she could have been using to find a real man who really loves her and wants to create a real family with her. I’m thinking the columnist is a fuckwit as well.

The extreme egocentrism of equating “I don’t want to date you if this is the relationship you’re offering” with “I’m personally judging you personally” is a red flag of epic proportions.

Agency about one’s own life isn’t judgment of anyone else’s life. Anyone who tries to tell you differently is trying to exploit you.

If she doesn’t want to be with him if he purchases sex, he can simply consider that an incompatibility and move on to find someone who wants what he is. The fact that he wants to figure out how to possess her and also do a thing he knows she won’t like, even though it means lying to her about something very significant, is chilling.

And for THAT, yes, you bet I judged the facts, and I concluded that he is a liar and a user and a fraud. And, about those things, I am objectively correct.

TL;DR – my favorite kind of sex is with someone who understands that she’s being paid to provide a service on demand and she shouldn’t expect me to provide charm, good company, orgasms, or cuddling afterwards – although obviously she should pretend to be as precisely as enthusiastic as I require her to be. However, I also need a wife appliance to keep my house, have my kids, and provide me with emotional support. Is this cool? Will my potential wife appliance be ok with this, or will she be too bRaInWaShEd bY sOcIeTy to accept my advanced way of thinking?

Right? Why don’t they pay home care companions to cook, clean, run their errands, take them to the doctor, etc. and date openly? It would make a lot more sense AND it would be WAY less skeevy and child molesty.

For my part, I’m saying, don’t pay prostitutes for sex. If the person wants help at home, pay people to provide legal home care services only, NOT sex, then seek out sex with separate people who are willing to have non-committed sexual encounters, and don’t entrap anyone into a sham by lying about monogamy.

I see no problem. With his sophisticated sense of morality, of course he’ll disclose it to his girlfriend. Then she can thank him for his honesty, counter-culture attitudes and make an informed decision.

She also deserves good sex life and proper sexual chemistry. I’ve been around the block a few times. In my experience, the guys who can’t f**k always need something extra (strange sexual practices, prostitutes, flagellation etc.) because their sexual awkwardness prevents them to enjoy mundane sex.

He might be pleasantly surprised that his girlfriend also think their sex life isn’t something to brag about and might want to leave him and find herself more compatible partner. Or she might also want to have additional lover or two around for when stable relationship just isn’t enough.

This is a college educated guy, he knows how to write correctly yet everything he tries to write contains a plethora of unneeded and awkward adjectives, mishmash of ideas, and run-on sentences of epic proportions. And his ideas tend to be overly inflated and grandiose – which shows you how he views himself…

“This has left me torn and wondering how I can bridge the two desires to have a stable, fulfilling relationship with an exciting, expressive sex life.”

In other words, I know my girlfriend is highly unlikely to accept my “hobby”. However, I’m ENTITLED to both because that would be some delicious cake. Surely there is some way that I can get both. It would be a lot of hard work to keep it secret. It would be so much better if she just accepted it!

Notice the complete lack of care of the woman he “really enjoyed connecting with and have found a higher level of chemistry with than anyone else”? After D-Day I asked my ex-wife why she decided to marry me. She said a bunch of sappy stuff (kind, sweet, loving, etc) but finished the list with “you would do what I wanted”. This guy is exactly the same. He doesn’t care what she wants, he just wants to figure out a way to get her to do what he wants.

Blatant case of entitlement without empathy.

Does he really fail to understand that the sex worker smiles and complies because he is paying her (or her pimp)? Does he really fail to understand that she gives him answers that make him comfortable about his choices as part of her job–that she lies about her work conditions or her motivations or dangers she faces because to tell the truth would put her in even more danger? Does he really fail to understand that her “consent” is coerced? If she wasn’t being coerced, she would do these things for free. Since she won’t, she is not fully consenting.

Lots of doctors and teachers and social workers and chefs and plumbers would do they work they do (at least part-time) for free if they didn’t need an income. How many sex workers would still be sex workers because they love their profession?

I am friends with many people in the ethical non-monogamy community. This is *emphatically* not that. While everyone has the right to whatever ethical, consensual sexual expression they choose to pursue – I refuse to slut shame sex workers – sexual contact with anyone outside of the relationship crosses the line. It does so because he is the only one with knowledge and agency at this point. He should have picked someone from the poly community. This isn’t going to work and he should never even have thought of trying. His attitude is selfish and misguided.

Sunny and No Shit Cupcakes I am also friends with people in these communities and this man would be ostracized in a heartbeat for this behavior. His desire to connect with someone solely for the purposes of sex would place him more in the swinger community than the poly community, and definitely in the kink community (“expressive sex life”) but even the swinger community values honesty and transparency, and the kink community has its foundations in mutual consent and trust (No kink shaming, either). He could get his needs for “an expressive sex life” met in an ethical and moral manner, but that would require him to have ethical standards and a moral compass, which he clearly lacks. This man’s state of denial is staggering

He should have but he would still have to be honest and upfront about his actions and intentions. I don’t think he has the spine for it. I think he simply likes cake and it would extra-moist and delicious if he does this while in a poly couple because it isn’t about the sex, it’s about the frisson he gets from sneaking around someone’s back. He doesn’t have a soupçon of empathy which he will need in an ethical relationship of any sort.

Well, that’s my opinion at any rate.

Buying human bodies is wrong. How far as a society have we fallen that the purchase of humans is considered a “cultural” taboo. The dehumanizing of the poor women and minor children who are trafficked (and nearly all prostitutes begin as trafficked minors) that these sick bastards do is horrifying. I can’t ask my girlfriend to be abused and degraded so I’ll just purchase a teenage girl some pimp has gotten drug addicted and beaten. I hate prostitution and the men who perpetuate it.

I just found out about my husband (married 1.5 yrs, together 8yrs) and almost wish I never knew…he is blaming it on me and how he has been “unhappy for a long time”. I go from being upset with him, to worried that he is “so unhappy”, to wanting to beg for him back. Maybe it is because this is all so fresh…but I am hoping I can get to that point one day where I can say…”you know what, I am glad I found out about that fucker and I am blessed he left me”…until that day comes I seem to be a walking zombie.

Same. 14 years wasted. These assholes love abusing women – their wives and the prostitutes.

I read the article CL links to about Chrystul Kizer. I am FUCKING INCANDESCENT. Tracey must know better than anyone else, after all our thousands of letters, what emotional abuse, gaslighting, poverty, insecurity and hopium does to a human being, no wonder she despises prostitution and trafficking. These lawyers and Judges who don’t understand any of that – they need to be GONE. FUCK.

I just hate so much the unsaid attitude that “if I pay for it, the sex worker has no choice to do what I want but she’s not really ‘human’ anyway, like a proper girlfriend”.
I would think there are far fewer women /people in sex work as a career choice than those in it through trafficking, addiction or shitty circumstances. I just don’t even begin yo understand how people who pay for sex think it’s OK or that they are being “ethical”.

He rates very high on the Ick factor. And he knows it. I hope to God he tells any potential girlfriends about his little hobby BEFORE they have sex. Shudder.

“Unless you meet via a nonmonogamous community or nonmonogamous intentions are stated upfront and essentially written into your union, relationships tend to morph over time into an open arrangement.”

How about monogamy is assumed in relationships UNLESS non-monogamous relations are stated up front?

Honesty first, Slate.

Where do these people come from? Misogynistic, self absorbed, entitled idiots that crawl out from under rocks looking for justification. “Look at me! I’m ethical (except for that whole cheating for 12 years)! I have integrity (except for those hundreds of lies I told you so you wouldn’t feel bad for the 12 years of cheating)! I have morals (I practice safe sex with the women I find on craigslist)! I’m empathetic (I can’t leave Schmoopie- she has abandonment issues)! I’m honest (I’m telling you about the sex workers so you can work it into our budget.)!“ Etc etc etc

22 years married, cheated last half with hookers and in gay clubs. Surname means “truth” in some languages.
“I take the name of my birth very seriously and am a fundamentally honest man. I ONLY lied about my activities in the sexual realm; I ONLY lied to one person; and they were ONLY lies of omission.”

Oh yeah.

I’m late to this post but feel overwhelmingly compelled to still comment.

If you truly want any understanding to the real WHY behind the reason someone cheats, this man’s article is great insight. You just have to wade through his own internal justifications – which are mind-boggling gymnastics at their best. (And that alone is also extremely insightful.)

THIS is why people cheat…whether numerous, simultaneous, ongoing partners…or just one flame they keep burning for years. “I have met someone. We have chemistry. What is this strange feeling I have stirring in me? It feels so, so…threatening, so unsafe. Is this INTIMACY? Am I being exposed to potentially horrible outcomes as a result? OMG…I must go get something on the side that pulls me away from this feeling…that distracts me and prevents me from being pulled into this strange feeling any further!”

So many times we chumps ask ourselves over and over, what is wrong with me? Why did he/she not want me? Why was I not enough? Why did they not love me? But so much of the time the problem in the relationship stems from the fact that we WERE enough, we WERE lovable, we WERE right – and in that, we were also all WRONG. Because we were threatening. We had the power to call them into intimacy…and for disordered people, intimacy is intolerable. It’s not that they don’t/can’t see us…it’s that what they really are avoiding is seeing themselves.

This is why I say that without his cheating I would not have had a *good* marriage…it would have instead been NO marriage. He could not have ever been able to step in had he also not had an easily accessible way to step out.

Oh that poor woman. It’s horrible to have an insight into these disordered people’s mindset and know that their partner may or may not find out while we all know. Ugh.

As someone who is about to get a divorce because her husband sleeps with escorts, I would like to say to this guy…go screw yourself. There is nothing ethical about this, wtf kinda of bullshit are spitting to make yourself sleep better at night? Ethical and moral my ass…its illegal for a reason.

AND now you have started dating someone who probably has NO idea what kinda bull shit she got herself into, do her a favor and tell her NOW and not when she is happily married and unaware that her creep of a husband is fucking whores on the side.

Also, my husband said the same shit … “Don’t you see, I was sleeping with her to keep everything together in our life”… maybe he really believes this? Either way, its bull shit…I am stressed too and have needs that he doesn’t exactly meet so I COMMUNICATE with him, not fuck some rando for 500 an hr.

My husband still is spitting bullshit rather than just saying “hey I am a shitty person and I am so I did this horrible thing to you because I am a selfish asshole”…narcissists are always FOS.

Just a couple of days ago my cheater STBX was caught in a lie that confirms my strong suspicion of him having had sex with a prostitute and having had an STD treated. Who knows how many times he’s done it that I know nothing about. He travels abroad for work a few times a year so it would have been really easy.

I haven’t told him that I know he is lying about this, not yet. I can’t deal with any more mindfuckery right now and at Christmas time. This is so, so hard for me to grasp. I’m horrified at the thought of him using another human being, someone’s daughter… The thought makes me want to vomit.

I’m sorry, but here you go, sweetheart.

If she finds out, she will dump you. Which is her prerogative, and the one who’s judging is you, not her. It’s her life, it’s her decision, if she doesn’t want to be with an opinionated philandering gasbag that’s her right. It is possible that, by lying to her, you are personally saving her from making an absolutely devastating mistake, one she will regret every day for the rest of her life: missing the joy of a sexless marriage to someone whose needs are far more important than hers are. It’s possible you’re rescuing her from the heartbreak of a lifetime of loneliness without you.

Somehow I doubt it. So stop lying, and see what happens next.

Whew! Once again, I apologize for a late comment (we are now in 2022).
But man…Chump Lady never fails to deliver truth. And the same is true for the other folks here.

To this guy…hopefully your girlfriend woke up and left your ass, or you decided to be a better person.
I have nothing against sex workers. They are human beings like me, and there are different reasons why people end up in that situation.
With that said, I agree with what everyone had to say to this man. One person was correct in saying that sex workers don’t actually like you…they like your money.

I know somebody who is very, shall we say…interested in escorts/prostitutes.
Not sure if he visits them or partakes in their services, but he seems to have a rather unhealthy interest in them.
His wife of 14 years is a lot younger than he is, very attractive, devoted to him…and she told me that she’s afraid he might be dealing with hookers.
She can’t prove it, but there are some red flags.

The guy I know (like many others) seems to have this delusional “Pretty Woman” fantasy of sex workers.
I explained to him that even call girls and more “upscale” escorts are still working for money.
They don’t want to be your girlfriend. They might pretend, but it’s an act.
They don’t care about you. And for the man using their services, you don’t care about them either.
This same guy likes a movie called “The Escort” which is an unrealistic rom-com about this Stanford educated prostitute who falls in love with this nerd (who spends most of the film trying to “save” her from herself).
And of course, in the end, she decides to become a full-time teacher and quit sex work and live happily ever after with the nerd.

I told him that while it’s a cute comedy, it’s not a real representation of life for most women who do sex work. Most women don’t have the option of quitting, because their survival depends on being a prostitute.
Some have been trafficked or forced into it and can’t escape (as many here have said).
Some don’t have the means to get a “normal” job. Hollywood is not real life.
That’s what I told him. It’s not all pretty girls in high heels and expensive outfits, wanting to give you the “girlfriend experience” (barf).

That is not the reality of most women caught up in the life. I also knew a girl years ago who ended up in that life because people abused her, and she had low self-esteem.
She died at around 30 years old. There was no “Pretty Woman” or “happily ever after” for her.
So that’s what I try to tell guys like that. It’s not about feminism…it’s about seeing the reality and respecting women, ALL women.
Sex workers, wives, girlfriends, all women. And you can’t have it both ways.

I asked the dude I know, would you want your wife to have you (her husband) AND a boyfriend on the side?
He didn’t like that idea!

Replying to my own post, to add…I also told him that hookers also have lives outside of their jobs.
Some have children (or themselves) to feed, bills/payments, etc.
Hollywood often puts forth this image of the young, pretty white woman doing sex work to pay her way through school. Or some other plot that doesn’t show the grim reality of what it entails.
Most sex workers are women of color, they are relatively poor, they have issues with addiction, they have been abused both as children and as adults. Not saying this is always the case but it is often what happens.

What I would tell this guy who wrote to CL is that he’s probably not all that exciting in bed either, but his girlfriend doesn’t complain (so as not to hurt his feelings). But “men” like him only consider their own pleasure, not their partner’s.
And like the other guy I mentioned (the married dude) they foolishly believe that the hooker likes/loves them! She likes the MONEY, my friend. Not you…the $$$. You are paying somebody to pretend to care about you. How sad is that?

Whereas the girlfriend or wife is the real deal, because unlike the hooker, she loves you.
She isn’t faking affection in exchange for money. He should let his girlfriend move on with her life, because he might expose her to disease, and she deserves better than him.
