I was reading some accounts from guys about half my age on another site about their practice of ‘dating’, hmmm ... working girls.
A common thread seemed to be that they weren’t just paying for sex, but so they could tell her when to leave. Now that’s some sordid stuff.
When I was that age, you just didn’t do things like that.
The chef in “South Park” explains prostitutes to the children in that way: “You don’t pay them to stay, you pay them to leave”.
An acquaintance had a live-in girlfriend for years; he was wealthy, and wouldn’t let her pay for anything. When asked why, he said tenants had rights; he was cold, but shrewd and calculating. After many years she left; he’d always made it clear he never wanted kids, and eventually she decided she did.
