@@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr That's not entirely true. Sex workers just tend to be cheaper, and trained professionals will focus on helping you through the problem on both sides. You go to a trained professional if you want to rebuild the house that's on fire. You go to a sex worker to find out it'd be easier to bulldoze it and build a new one. But the sex worker can't help you learn how to ensure the second house doesn't suffer the same fate as the first.
Man I don't get why the internet pretends that girls don't get treated like crap for having mental illness. Did u forget when everyone was saying girls who self harm or say they're depressed or even attempt suicide are just attention seekers? Because I sure do and it was fucked up.
@@Artizap_ I'm sorry but no one performs self mutilation just for attention. That's just not how it works. Self harm is an extremely unhealthy coping mechanism that the brain would only develop as a necessity. Besides if a girl is causing harm to herself just to call for attention that doesn't seem like healthy behavior don't you think? There is just no excuse for the way that society shamed girls struggling with self harm and branded them as attention seekers. Also, no one can tell for sure if someone truly has a mental illness except for a trained professional. If someone tells you they think they have depression, saying that they're just saying that for attention is probably one of the very least helpful things you can do.
Angry Mongorian, the men in the video aren’t afraid of getting therapy, but most “trained professionals” have personal biases towards women unlike sex workers, so that’s why the how MGTOW and Incel communities exist nowadays.
@Valhallen it depends on the therapist you have to find a good one which I think the majority are from my own experience. You just gotta know what to look for.
For me I feel that therapy doesn’t work. I feel like I’m just telling a person all of my flaws and problems and they just repeat it back to me.( btw I am male)
If girls want cheap and Greasy sex, they just need to go to the bar and lower their standards a little, most guys have no such luck. I've found that it's impossible to maintain an erection if i'm not 100% attracted to a girl, so things are especially hard for me 😪
Cj Looklin exactly and plus men suffer mental health problems more than women but women are able to make it more visible because a lot of guys view male emotions as weak. As brothers we need to build each other
@Masked Agent So are you one of those people who believe it is possible for men and women to be friends? I've heard many men say that women and men can't be friends with each other, because there will always be sexual tension.
The fact that men are paying for women just to treat them decently tells you how shit our humanity is... I swear, I look at the world more and more bleakly as I grow older.
Does it? The fact that men are paying for women tells me they still haven’t figured out intimacy and are thinking it is a commodity to trade money for. It’s nobody’s job to hold you and treat you well. You have to learn how to do that for yourself. And then you can begin finding someone who you can do that for.
Thomas Bashore And why aren’t these men giving themselves the love and support? Why do they need external validation? Why isn’t their own validation enough for them?
@@lazyfoxplays8503 Everyone needs external support and love, no matter how strong and self-sufficient you think you are. This doesn't happen to women often, but if they were left without external care they too would become depressed and have emotional issues.
Let's see, I'm a 40 year old guy that has now had three nervous breakdowns. I've not touched another human being in about 6 years, I have to take a lot of meds for depression, it mostly turns me into a miserable zombie, each breakdown I've lost more functionality, I'm not as smart as I once was, my memory is going, I just space out a lot, on disability now as I am considered "unsuitable for the workplace" the amount of times I have considered getting an escort to simply come over give me a hug is non trivial. It's not like you can get that from a therapist, nor can you get someone to listen and give you a hug after you just meet them... When you life is utterly empty, sometimes you just want someone to tell you you matter, even if it is a lie.
@@cursedchest6469 i would suggest not doing this. not trying to be an asshole or anything but there are a lot of predators in churches who are there precisely because they attract people who are hurting and vulnerable (a good group to prey on).
Wow imagine being so ignored in a relationship that you have to go to a dungeon and pay them to dress like your wife and compliment you. WOW. Edit: I'm not making fun of the person being lonely. I'm just shocked that a relationship could reach that point and have both parties ignore the issue and look for a different way, like sex workers, to get the affection needed instead of just... actually being kind to your spouse. That's insane to me. Didnt mean to confuse anyone.
yeah that's a real problem for women they think all a man needs is just sex. the number one reason for a guy to cheat is because emotional neglect. 83% of men say the girl they cheated with is less attractive then their SO but they made them feel nice because of compliments and stuff like that.
@@P0rt4L. I'm sorry you took it that way, I more meant that its insane people can stay in a relationship that makes them feel so lonely and not be able to recognize that they deserve more than just paying for affection, and that its insane that the partner doesn't recognize how neglectful they're being to their spouse.
@@helvat not really making fun of anyone, just shocked that a relationship could get to that point without either partner recognizing a problem. Idk if they talked about it and the spouse just didn't care about the emotional needs of the other, but in any suituation its just insane that a relationship could reach that point without consequences. Like it seems like the dude just accepted it and started paying for compliments. Thats insane.
This makes me feel sad. I luckily found my wife who is perfect for me. We do all these things every post was asking for. I know how lucky I am, but could see myself being in that situation... I don't think it's inconceivable for every single person reading this to be in the same situation. Wrong place, wrong time... we could all be like this, just desperate for someone to hug them and say they care about them.
Ive seen two Therapists and all they did was tell me to join a gym, get a job, find a club. (I am working now) At least a sex worker would put in the effort to show me affection and validation. You cant hug a Therapist.
When I was 18 I tried to loose my virginity with 2 separate sex workers that I contacted from Craigslist because there aren't actual services in my local area. I was depressed, lonely and felt like an absolute looser so I figured that I'd try to loose my virginity to make myself feel like a man. The first gal I tried didn't mind I was a virgin and when I tried to send her payment it didn't go through and she got upset with me and blocked me. Honestly, probably a blessing in disguise. The second I contacted told me that she wouldn't do it because it was against her morals to take my virginity. She wanted me to find a gal that would accept me and do it lovingly. Ffw to a few months ago and I had sex with my current girlfriend who I can't get enough of! Thank you gal number 2, wherever you are.
Made me laugh honestly. Imagine he has a deep voice like that of Sideshow Bob in the Simpsons, "I desire that you stick pencils up my penis." and then when rejected, he cries in monotone like, "oooooh ho ho ho ho."

I work with a lot of guys who aren't happy in their marriage for whatever reason, or are gay and hiding it from their wives. It's sad to listen to sometimes, hiding an entire side of themselves away like that from your partner. But after being a SW for so long, you have to limit the amount of empathy that you give to some of these clients, for some of them, that's a big aspect of their kink is and it can be very draining for the worker. Longevity in the industry is being able to remove yourself from your work to a degree. The homewrecker clients are the worst. A lot of times when it comes down to it; they hate their wives because their wives are sexually repressed or have a low libido. I have a different approach to these men than I used to, a lot of the time I'll try to incorporate their wives into the fantasy in an increasingly positive and sexually stimulating way, to hopefully reignite a spark for them. It's hard to say if it works or not, I can only see what they choose to share with me, but I have had some clients go from wanting me to degrade their wives, to wanting to call me their name while I do whatever it is they paid for. I get a few of the "Tell me you love me" or "Pretend you're excited for my birthday" requests, and I always go out of my way to be accommodating to those kind of clients, I love seeing their situations change over time and eventually let them loose into the world with a little more confidence and self esteem than they had before. I love losing those clients, because it's almost always because they've found a partner. A lot of sex work is listening to people confess things they wouldn't tell any one else in any other situation and being someone to vent to. I would say a bare minimum amount of my clients want just general sexual stimulation.
Bless you for trying to include the wives. Many of us are sexually repressed or low libido precisely because our husband doesn't want us anymore and would prefer to look elsewhere. You may have saved some marriages that way.
Thank you for sharing your story and experiences. It's amazing the work you do and the philosophy you do it with. I have great respect for people who are in your line of work, and I wish you all the best... it certainly isn't the easiest line of work. I also know that there's a lot of misunderstanding and hate towards you(r) line of work, and I'm just here to encourage you in being you and doing what you want. We need all forms of services in our society, and your's is definitely a giving and generous one. You have a lot of wisdom and kindness in your heart from what I'm reading. It gives me a bit more hope in humanity. Keep doing your thing. Thanks for your service to humanity (in whichever way you choose).
honestly, yeah a lot of these are sad, but it also makes me happy to see that there are a lot of sweet and generally understanding SWs out there u kno. & i hope the ppl in these stories r doing better now
Cheaters are shit, but to cheat on a spouse while they are over seas is even more shit. Guy I knew came home to nothing she took everything drained the bank accounts, took her truck and his car. All he had was the 30$ he had when they left. He took a cab to the store bought beer went back to his empty house and drank. He was one of the best men I ever knew. He really looked out for us. Took care of us all. To this day. He still doesn’t know where she went.
Honestly, it is extremely stupid that "sex work" is illegal in most of the United States (where I live). The constitution says that we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and our bodies are our own property, not the governments, so there is no reason why it should be illegal to sell your body or service in terms of sex or physical pleasure. It's the same as selling your body to move furniture or mow lawns. Honestly, though, I think there's a sort of religious reason behind all of it (since America was built on Christianity), but whatever happened to separation of church and state?
honestly, americans have no idea what we're doing, *especially* floridians. at this point the best way out is just moving or starting political movements that'll fall flat because standing in front of a building does very little
makes me thankful that im the type of guy who is totally ok being alone. i think it helps that ive never had a girlfriend so its like i "dont know what im missing". but honestly ive seen a lot of my friends in relationships and ive literally never thought "oh i want to do that myself"
I feel that. I'm the exact same type of guy. I really don't care that I'm alone and probably always will be. It really doesn't affect me at all, though sometimes I could really go for a hug.
iv been in that state... & then lost it, makes it even more difficult.... best of luck staying as you are & enjoying it or coping should a relationship fail later.
Sad but true. Many men need a real and gentle woman. Behind every great man is a wonderful woman. This is sooooo true. Women must understand that their influence on a man is genuine and long lasting. Please stop manipulating them. You really don't need to. Just love and respect them and you will get anything you want from most of them. Men are simple and easy to understand. Women are very complicated and many can't even understand themselves. sad. Very sad.
I hate to break it to you, but those of us who legitimately want to be there for our man through thick and thin usually end up going through a cycle of wanted/ignored/verbally-emotionally abused/physically abused, no matter how much love and respect we pour into the marriage.
Brievel Montague yes. I'm not defending them, but I want to understand it better. My father was one of those people, and I could see he was holding shit in. I never got answers, so I turn to everyone else's insight...
@@smileyfacism I'm sorry, I thought that was sarcasm. I've been attacked before for holding out against abusers. Some people are genuinely nasty, horrible people. Narcissists and psychopaths and sociopaths. Most commonly, though, abusers are the victims of abuse themselves, it's usually a vicious cycle. The cycle can be broken, but it takes a lot of effort. Unhappiness and bitterness can turn a person nasty. Nastiness can escalate into abuse. Abuse usually starts verbal, emotional, escalates to mentaland then physical. All stemming from a deep-seated unhappiness.
My life is so sad I’m actually considering hiring a s*x worker to cuddle me and kiss my forehead and that’s it.i haven’t cuddled someone in 5 years I haven’t had any physical contact in months because of lockdown and I’m getting kinda desperate lmao I do have someone I’m talking to but they live 7000km away and I just want to be held
i can understand that, best of luck getting through these difficult times should you still be suffering as well as getting someone to help with those needs.
@@anderstermansen130 YT is known to censor or "ghost" comments with language Google doesn't like in them, or ideas that go against the social agenda they're pushing.
They're right about the sexual repression put on us Catholics. It took me until I was 28 before I was finally able to break those damnable chains that held me back and had my first sexual experience. Honestly, I’m now 36 and haven’t had sex (or a relationship) in eight years since that one girlfriend.
A lot of these are depressing, sad...some of these are sweet..i can see that a few of my friends would probably have stories like these. Well one actually, he's never had a girlfriend/date/etc. in his life so far..i think i might try to get in contact with an escort to help him and it might help him boost his confidence. And i can see with a lot of these stories, some people that work nine to five jobs, relatively good lives would be floored by this because it would break that stigma that sex work is all gross and filthy, like its seen on tv and movies. It's not all the time, and when i hear these its great to hear, and shows that what you grew up thinking or believing for the most part is a lie. For most its just a regular day at work. Everyone has needs, and can't always get those needs met by a simple talk or therapy session with a note pad, it needs a little more.
I remember hearing about professional cuddlers, can we make them as well known as therapists? Cause therapists are only in figuring out your brain problems, not give you a hug or just talk to you like a friend.
It wasn’t sad it was more comforting and realization that the people on the other side of the screen are real. A guy paid me when I was camming regularly like 20 bucks in tokens(on the site I’m on each token is 5¢ so it was a lot of money) just to talk about fallout and Bethesda as a game company like straight up 2 shows in a row guy popped in just to talk about video games
People don’t realize this as guys. All this points to is how emotionally we really are neglected. Many of our spouses and significant others don’t encourage us or have pride in us. It’s expected and thus taken for granted. We aren’t seen as emotional creatures who need this need met. Funny enough more women leave relationships due to things like feeling trapped in a relationship and men leave due to falling out of love. You can sit and say well that makes no sense but it shows that men want to be accepted and loved and cared for and that plays the main factor in a relationship. Women in my eyes have come to a point with this generation in fantasizing about relationships in unhealthy ways. And it’s played a role in men. Women want to focus on toxic paternalism but don’t want to face how their actions and wanting strong and assertive men plays into this and they decry fragility of men. You can’t have it both ways!
"Women, in my eyes, have come to a point ... in fantasizing about relationships in unhealthy ways." There are more men than women who watch porn. Just saying.
Brievel Montague I’m talking about the notion that relationships don’t require work and that everything is easy. The whole fairy tale Disney ification of how things are. It’s simplistic and shallow and porn has very little to do with relationship (not the relations) things.
Brievel Montague I think the stats and impact is over blown to such a large degree and is used as a catch all to blame the failing of a relationship on an external factor rather than looking at the root cause, the interplay of nature and nurture. Even if it is as you say, setting the expectation my point is that we sensationalize and fantasize about relationships and this overwhelms the reality of the situation. This can be a coping mechanism and due to a lot of relationship issues modeled by parents and support systems. What we want it to be never lives up to what it actually is. This is no different than this Disney princess fantasy...escapism we super impose onto something...so much so one can’t tell the different between the two. And part of this is the objectification of others, to view them as things. Not valuing a being as intrinsically valuable and actionable or autonomous...as extensions of ourselves. Our wants and our needs. I don’t think sex or porn is the main factor but the emptiness and hollowness and shallowness of modern relationships...how they burn quickly, brightly and fast....also plays a part
Embarrassingly for me, even though I'm 33 and now make close to six figures at my new job, I still live with my parents. Mainly due to the fact that I have Asperger's and that I don't want to feel alone. And that I feel like because of my difficulty reading social cues, nobody outside of my family would love me.
If anything this just shows how depressing some peoples lives are. And in the majority of these stories it’s never that persons fault. Sometimes people just need someone to talk to because it shows how much they can trust them. It’s actually very sad to see.
I just wanna say that I'm so happy how this comment section seems to be all about empathy and acknowledging that society is failing men at large when it comes to their emotional needs. I'd just like to also stick in that if you take something else from this video it's respect for sex workers who fulfil these fundamental human needs being neglected, as the video mentions over and over again none of this stuff is even remotely rare and is a pretty solid chunk of a sexworkers job
After many years of waiting, I met a young, very cute and sexy girl who asked me questions about myself and complimented me. It was everything I had always wanted in a date. Unfortunately, she was the salesgirl at a salon. She was trying to sell me $400 eye cream, but it was one of the best 20 minutes I've ever had.
Maybe some therapists are worth every cent they are paid. However, all I ever encountered were grossly overpaid motivational speakers. Now if someone would destigmatize the sex workers so people could easily and legally pay one, that would be awesome.
Damn. That one about the gay guy really hit hard. As a guy who’s interested in other dudes (chicks too, I fall somewhere under the bi umbrella) dealing with myself not aligning with the “perfect” dude is rough. Oddly enough I don’t care much if others don’t look like a living god (even prefer it, I like a good dad bod or plush on a gal)
This is really gut wrenching for me. I am a 6 year long chronic depression young man who has nearly 0 contact with other people and is vary rare to be touched. I feel like these stories could easily be me if i ever got a escort as i think getting a hug/being held by a female is enough for me to collapse
A friend of mine that I met in physical therapy told me that he hired a sex worker just for companionship. Like me, he's wheelchair-bound but he's older. He and his wife were planning their 50 year anniversary as a huge extravaganza. She was killed in a car wreck a few months before this celebration was to take place. The lady that showed up he told her straight what his situation was and just wanted to go see a movie and go out to dinner with him. She asked about sex and he told her about his lack of ability and that he wasn't interested in that. Turns out, she was a police officer. She went out with him anyway.
Conservatives: Small government! Conservatives: Keep the DEA and keeping hiring cops to fake as prostitutes! It must take a lot of capacity for cognitive dissonance to call oneself conservative and embrace it... Not that other sides of the political spectrum lack cognitive dissonance.
"Guys just want to feel valued. And sex work is closer to therapy than just sex." Well, shit, and I guess it takes being a sex worker to understand this concept. Makes me hope sex work get decriminalized in the US soon, if at all. Since I dumped my last girlfriend do to her ghosting me a lot, among other things, I could use the therapy. O.o
I've been alone for years, no hand holding, no hugs, haven't heard a romantic word in years, I usually tank dates because they'll ask about me and either it's Army stories, fire ems stories, or me trying not to bring up legos, touhou, motorcycles or guns..... To play "the game" I absolutely can't be me.
All that stuff is interesting, I've heard some of the best stories from people in the military and ems/fire. Everything from a Marine sinking a humvee in a river (tide came in, was deeper than advertised) and slamming a stupid butterbar's pins when he got upgraded to all the weird gross stuff EMTs have to deal with. It's fascinating. Legos, guns, and motorcycles are cool af too. Idk anything about touhou, but anime and video games always leave me a smidge lost, but I'm used to it after 7 years of that being my best friend's thing. You seem like a cool dude. If hiding your coolness on dates doesn't work, why not go with the more genuine version of yourself? Hobbies and passions are awesome, they make you more interesting, take advantage of it.
Idk man it might be hard to find a girl who is interested in those things. Maybe you need to find a friend. I'm sure you could find one all of those things are interesting to me (besides motorcycles) too dangerous I prefer side by sides
We have lots of dating sites, but it looks like we need to start new “penpal” sites. Who knew there were so many people that felt so alone and unwanted. So sad. 😢Perhaps I should start a new social media profile so I could reach out without endangering myself or my family. 🤔
You might want to try a game called "Kind Words". It basically a game where you send supportive letter to complete stranger. You choose if you want to ask for help or respond to those help. This whole thread remind me of that game.
I came to this expecting to laugh and end up both depressed and relating with my own experiences in an emotionally void marriage (divorced soon hopefully)

Witch is sad-
Man I don't get why the internet pretends that girls don't get treated like crap for having mental illness. Did u forget when everyone was saying girls who self harm or say they're depressed or even attempt suicide are just attention seekers? Because I sure do and it was fucked up.
@@aflooki
They were saying those to the girls who were faking it. There was a TON of people faking depression for attention.
@@Artizap_ I'm sorry but no one performs self mutilation just for attention. That's just not how it works. Self harm is an extremely unhealthy coping mechanism that the brain would only develop as a necessity. Besides if a girl is causing harm to herself just to call for attention that doesn't seem like healthy behavior don't you think? There is just no excuse for the way that society shamed girls struggling with self harm and branded them as attention seekers. Also, no one can tell for sure if someone truly has a mental illness except for a trained professional. If someone tells you they think they have depression, saying that they're just saying that for attention is probably one of the very least helpful things you can do.
Man men need to accept that therapy is okay. So many of these guys need genuine help to deal with their grief or other issues
Angry Mongorian, the men in the video aren’t afraid of getting therapy, but most “trained professionals” have personal biases towards women unlike sex workers, so that’s why the how MGTOW and Incel communities exist nowadays.
Valhallen shit that sucks mate, that’s why I’m trying to become a therapist myself. I hope to actually be able to help those in need
@Valhallen it depends on the therapist you have to find a good one which I think the majority are from my own experience. You just gotta know what to look for.
Therapy is great but still need that physical touch though.
For me I feel that therapy doesn’t work. I feel like I’m just telling a person all of my flaws and problems and they just repeat it back to me.( btw I am male)
Notice how the title says nothing about gender but 90% of these are of us guys.
If girls want cheap and Greasy sex, they just need to go to the bar and lower their standards a little, most guys have no such luck. I've found that it's impossible to maintain an erection if i'm not 100% attracted to a girl, so things are especially hard for me 😪
Cj Looklin exactly and plus men suffer mental health problems more than women but women are able to make it more visible because a lot of guys view male emotions as weak. As brothers we need to build each other
99.7%
@Masked Agent So are you one of those people who believe it is possible for men and women to be friends? I've heard many men say that women and men can't be friends with each other, because there will always be sexual tension.
@@moondog7694 with one of my male bffs thats true, but we brake it fast, but the others not so much
The fact that men are paying for women just to treat them decently tells you how shit our humanity is... I swear, I look at the world more and more bleakly as I grow older.
Does it?
The fact that men are paying for women tells me they still haven’t figured out intimacy and are thinking it is a commodity to trade money for.
It’s nobody’s job to hold you and treat you well.
You have to learn how to do that for yourself.
And then you can begin finding someone who you can do that for.

And why aren’t these men giving themselves the love and support? Why do they need external validation? Why isn’t their own validation enough for them?
@@lazyfoxplays8503 Everyone needs external support and love, no matter how strong and self-sufficient you think you are. This doesn't happen to women often, but if they were left without external care they too would become depressed and have emotional issues.
Women do get depressed and have emotional issues tf, that’s an issue of humanity, not just men.
@@FirstnameLastname-gb4ww but it's a much larger issue for men, at least here in America.
Let's see, I'm a 40 year old guy that has now had three nervous breakdowns. I've not touched another human being in about 6 years, I have to take a lot of meds for depression, it mostly turns me into a miserable zombie, each breakdown I've lost more functionality, I'm not as smart as I once was, my memory is going, I just space out a lot, on disability now as I am considered "unsuitable for the workplace" the amount of times I have considered getting an escort to simply come over give me a hug is non trivial. It's not like you can get that from a therapist, nor can you get someone to listen and give you a hug after you just meet them... When you life is utterly empty, sometimes you just want someone to tell you you matter, even if it is a lie.
Therapy my dude.
Do it, call one
@Ch Po
You could go to church (even if you're not a believer) there are lots of people to shake hands with and talk to
I have no idea what you're going through but I really hope you get better.
@@cursedchest6469 i would suggest not doing this. not trying to be an asshole or anything but there are a lot of predators in churches who are there precisely because they attract people who are hurting and vulnerable (a good group to prey on).
Wow imagine being so ignored in a relationship that you have to go to a dungeon and pay them to dress like your wife and compliment you. WOW.
Edit: I'm not making fun of the person being lonely. I'm just shocked that a relationship could reach that point and have both parties ignore the issue and look for a different way, like sex workers, to get the affection needed instead of just... actually being kind to your spouse. That's insane to me. Didnt mean to confuse anyone.
who are you making fun of ?
Why does this have so many likes?
THIS MAN/WOMAN IS MAKING FUN OF SOMEONE LONELY!!!!!! WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!
yeah that's a real problem for women they think all a man needs is just sex. the number one reason for a guy to cheat is because emotional neglect. 83% of men say the girl they cheated with is less attractive then their SO but they made them feel nice because of compliments and stuff like that.
@@P0rt4L. I'm sorry you took it that way, I more meant that its insane people can stay in a relationship that makes them feel so lonely and not be able to recognize that they deserve more than just paying for affection, and that its insane that the partner doesn't recognize how neglectful they're being to their spouse.
@@helvat not really making fun of anyone, just shocked that a relationship could get to that point without either partner recognizing a problem. Idk if they talked about it and the spouse just didn't care about the emotional needs of the other, but in any suituation its just insane that a relationship could reach that point without consequences. Like it seems like the dude just accepted it and started paying for compliments. Thats insane.
7:18 something tells me "Troy" has seen this before or at one point in his life had been in OP's shoes.
"men want one thing and it's fucking disgusting"
love, emotional support, and validation.....and a warm touch.
This makes me feel sad. I luckily found my wife who is perfect for me. We do all these things every post was asking for. I know how lucky I am, but could see myself being in that situation... I don't think it's inconceivable for every single person reading this to be in the same situation. Wrong place, wrong time... we could all be like this, just desperate for someone to hug them and say they care about them.
Glad you and your wife are happy. Cling on to that and don't let go.
Sooo... .... when did she dump you?
If you think everyone can have it as good as you, then you *don't* know how lucky you are.
I have never cried seeing a Reddit text-to-speech video before.
Man that's such a peculiar emotion.
Man these guys don’t need a prostitute they need a therapist
To be fair physical contact by a therapist to a patient, intimate or otherwise, is greatly frowned upon in our society.
@@1ben994 Most of them don't even WANT physical contact, they just want someone to talk to.
Sometimes all a "therapist" can do is quote motivational posters like an NPC.
Ive seen two Therapists and all they did was tell me to join a gym, get a job, find a club. (I am working now) At least a sex worker would put in the effort to show me affection and validation. You cant hug a Therapist.
Most men find talking to women easier. A woman typically won't tell you to "man up pussy"
Wow, as someone who has never even been on a date, this really hits close to home.

*you crazy son of a bitch, you did. You actually did it*
How did the date go??

When I was 18 I tried to loose my virginity with 2 separate sex workers that I contacted from Craigslist because there aren't actual services in my local area. I was depressed, lonely and felt like an absolute looser so I figured that I'd try to loose my virginity to make myself feel like a man.
The first gal I tried didn't mind I was a virgin and when I tried to send her payment it didn't go through and she got upset with me and blocked me. Honestly, probably a blessing in disguise.
The second I contacted told me that she wouldn't do it because it was against her morals to take my virginity. She wanted me to find a gal that would accept me and do it lovingly.
Ffw to a few months ago and I had sex with my current girlfriend who I can't get enough of!
Thank you gal number 2, wherever you are.
I need a Troy, but in Female form.
Not gay but I'd even take a male form
Y’all need a strip club

As a man the pencil story really made me cringe
Made me laugh honestly. Imagine he has a deep voice like that of Sideshow Bob in the Simpsons, "I desire that you stick pencils up my penis." and then when rejected, he cries in monotone like, "oooooh ho ho ho ho."
It just made me writhe in imaginable pain. Like, ouch!
NOT A CARTOON CHARACTER BUT REAL. Makes it hilarious!
Pencils do not belong in the urethra
You have got to be kidding! Pencils???

This may be why some countries have "Cuddle cafes." You pay for touch but not for sex.
I expected to hear about some kinks that are so Strange that they arent funny anymore
But now im sad
I mean real affection is so rare. It may as well be a kink at this point.
Us guys need to start loving and lifting each other up more because we know we have always been expendable to society by the way we are sent to our death for wars throughout history and our emotions are Always last to the “greater good” . I love you guys no matter what y’all look like and hope y’all have a good week, Keep your heads up boys you got this!!
I work with a lot of guys who aren't happy in their marriage for whatever reason, or are gay and hiding it from their wives. It's sad to listen to sometimes, hiding an entire side of themselves away like that from your partner. But after being a SW for so long, you have to limit the amount of empathy that you give to some of these clients, for some of them, that's a big aspect of their kink is and it can be very draining for the worker. Longevity in the industry is being able to remove yourself from your work to a degree.
The homewrecker clients are the worst. A lot of times when it comes down to it; they hate their wives because their wives are sexually repressed or have a low libido. I have a different approach to these men than I used to, a lot of the time I'll try to incorporate their wives into the fantasy in an increasingly positive and sexually stimulating way, to hopefully reignite a spark for them. It's hard to say if it works or not, I can only see what they choose to share with me, but I have had some clients go from wanting me to degrade their wives, to wanting to call me their name while I do whatever it is they paid for.
I get a few of the "Tell me you love me" or "Pretend you're excited for my birthday" requests, and I always go out of my way to be accommodating to those kind of clients, I love seeing their situations change over time and eventually let them loose into the world with a little more confidence and self esteem than they had before. I love losing those clients, because it's almost always because they've found a partner.
A lot of sex work is listening to people confess things they wouldn't tell any one else in any other situation and being someone to vent to. I would say a bare minimum amount of my clients want just general sexual stimulation.
Bless you for trying to include the wives. Many of us are sexually repressed or low libido precisely because our husband doesn't want us anymore and would prefer to look elsewhere. You may have saved some marriages that way.
Thank you for sharing your story and experiences. It's amazing the work you do and the philosophy you do it with. I have great respect for people who are in your line of work, and I wish you all the best... it certainly isn't the easiest line of work.
I also know that there's a lot of misunderstanding and hate towards you(r) line of work, and I'm just here to encourage you in being you and doing what you want.
We need all forms of services in our society, and your's is definitely a giving and generous one.
You have a lot of wisdom and kindness in your heart from what I'm reading. It gives me a bit more hope in humanity. Keep doing your thing. Thanks for your service to humanity (in whichever way you choose).
awwe.
The one with troy made me cry :'(
honestly, yeah a lot of these are sad, but it also makes me happy to see that there are a lot of sweet and generally understanding SWs out there u kno. & i hope the ppl in these stories r doing better now

Cheaters are shit, but to cheat on a spouse while they are over seas is even more shit.
Guy I knew came home to nothing she took everything drained the bank accounts, took her truck and his car.
All he had was the 30$ he had when they left. He took a cab to the store bought beer went back to his empty house and drank.
He was one of the best men I ever knew. He really looked out for us. Took care of us all. To this day. He still doesn’t know where she went.
I think everyone needs a Troy type in their life, male or female.
yes
That Troy story was amazing
Honestly, it is extremely stupid that "sex work" is illegal in most of the United States (where I live). The constitution says that we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and our bodies are our own property, not the governments, so there is no reason why it should be illegal to sell your body or service in terms of sex or physical pleasure. It's the same as selling your body to move furniture or mow lawns. Honestly, though, I think there's a sort of religious reason behind all of it (since America was built on Christianity), but whatever happened to separation of church and state?
The American West was founded on Brothels. They kept the west’s economy running, and often owned the towns.
honestly, americans have no idea what we're doing, *especially* floridians. at this point the best way out is just moving or starting political movements that'll fall flat because standing in front of a building does very little
The US government doesn't like it because holy men and sex negative feminists have a lot of political lobbying power.
‘Emotional support workers’ should be a thing. Where they just cuddle you or say nice things to you
The one about the guy who “just wished his wife was there” and about the lady who really missed her son really got to me...
Wow.... just wow.
Forget sad, some of these are just depressing 😢
makes me thankful that im the type of guy who is totally ok being alone. i think it helps that ive never had a girlfriend so its like i "dont know what im missing". but honestly ive seen a lot of my friends in relationships and ive literally never thought "oh i want to do that myself"
I feel that. I'm the exact same type of guy. I really don't care that I'm alone and probably always will be. It really doesn't affect me at all, though sometimes I could really go for a hug.
iv been in that state... & then lost it, makes it even more difficult.... best of luck staying as you are & enjoying it or coping should a relationship fail later.
I want to find love but it seems like what most relationships are is conforming to what the woman wants and I'm not about that. I have my own needs
Sad but true. Many men need a real and gentle woman. Behind every great man is a wonderful woman. This is sooooo true. Women must understand that their influence on a man is genuine and long lasting. Please stop manipulating them. You really don't need to. Just love and respect them and you will get anything you want from most of them. Men are simple and easy to understand. Women are very complicated and many can't even understand themselves. sad. Very sad.
I hate to break it to you, but those of us who legitimately want to be there for our man through thick and thin usually end up going through a cycle of wanted/ignored/verbally-emotionally abused/physically abused, no matter how much love and respect we pour into the marriage.
Brievel Montague ever wonder why guys end up like that?
@@smileyfacism End up like what? Abusers who take for granted the women who are there for them?
Brievel Montague yes. I'm not defending them, but I want to understand it better. My father was one of those people, and I could see he was holding shit in. I never got answers, so I turn to everyone else's insight...
@@smileyfacism I'm sorry, I thought that was sarcasm. I've been attacked before for holding out against abusers.
Some people are genuinely nasty, horrible people. Narcissists and psychopaths and sociopaths. Most commonly, though, abusers are the victims of abuse themselves, it's usually a vicious cycle. The cycle can be broken, but it takes a lot of effort.
Unhappiness and bitterness can turn a person nasty. Nastiness can escalate into abuse. Abuse usually starts verbal, emotional, escalates to mentaland then physical. All stemming from a deep-seated unhappiness.
My life is so sad I’m actually considering hiring a s*x worker to cuddle me and kiss my forehead and that’s it.i haven’t cuddled someone in 5 years I haven’t had any physical contact in months because of lockdown and I’m getting kinda desperate lmao
I do have someone I’m talking to but they live 7000km away and I just want to be held
Why would you put an asterix over the e in sex?

They're right about the sexual repression put on us Catholics. It took me until I was 28 before I was finally able to break those damnable chains that held me back and had my first sexual experience. Honestly, I’m now 36 and haven’t had sex (or a relationship) in eight years since that one girlfriend.
I wonder how many holy people are married and sex still doesn't work properly for them because of psychological repression.
Send this to anyone who tells you sex work isn’t work. 7 mins in and I wanna cry.

Honestly, Troy sounds hella wholesome.
I’m not one to cry, but damnit I shed a tear.
A lot of these are depressing, sad...some of these are sweet..i can see that a few of my friends would probably have stories like these. Well one actually, he's never had a girlfriend/date/etc. in his life so far..i think i might try to get in contact with an escort to help him and it might help him boost his confidence.
And i can see with a lot of these stories, some people that work nine to five jobs, relatively good lives would be floored by this because it would break that stigma that sex work is all gross and filthy, like its seen on tv and movies. It's not all the time, and when i hear these its great to hear, and shows that what you grew up thinking or believing for the most part is a lie. For most its just a regular day at work. Everyone has needs, and can't always get those needs met by a simple talk or therapy session with a note pad, it needs a little more.
A lot of these guys deserve a hug
It's honestly sad how lonely people can be.
I remember hearing about professional cuddlers, can we make them as well known as therapists? Cause therapists are only in figuring out your brain problems, not give you a hug or just talk to you like a friend.
It wasn’t sad it was more comforting and realization that the people on the other side of the screen are real. A guy paid me when I was camming regularly like 20 bucks in tokens(on the site I’m on each token is 5¢ so it was a lot of money) just to talk about fallout and Bethesda as a game company like straight up 2 shows in a row guy popped in just to talk about video games
12:09 this story really got me in the feels
People don’t realize this as guys. All this points to is how emotionally we really are neglected. Many of our spouses and significant others don’t encourage us or have pride in us. It’s expected and thus taken for granted.
We aren’t seen as emotional creatures who need this need met. Funny enough more women leave relationships due to things like feeling trapped in a relationship and men leave due to falling out of love.
You can sit and say well that makes no sense but it shows that men want to be accepted and loved and cared for and that plays the main factor in a relationship.
Women in my eyes have come to a point with this generation in fantasizing about relationships in unhealthy ways. And it’s played a role in men.
Women want to focus on toxic paternalism but don’t want to face how their actions and wanting strong and assertive men plays into this and they decry fragility of men. You can’t have it both ways!
"Women, in my eyes, have come to a point ... in fantasizing about relationships in unhealthy ways."
There are more men than women who watch porn. Just saying.
Brievel Montague I’m talking about the notion that relationships don’t require work and that everything is easy. The whole fairy tale Disney ification of how things are.
It’s simplistic and shallow and porn has very little to do with relationship (not the relations) things.
@@jhinckle90 ..........porn has a _lot_ to do with relationships, and expectations therein.
Brievel Montague I think the stats and impact is over blown to such a large degree and is used as a catch all to blame the failing of a relationship on an external factor rather than looking at the root cause, the interplay of nature and nurture.
Even if it is as you say, setting the expectation my point is that we sensationalize and fantasize about relationships and this overwhelms the reality of the situation.
This can be a coping mechanism and due to a lot of relationship issues modeled by parents and support systems.
What we want it to be never lives up to what it actually is. This is no different than this Disney princess fantasy...escapism we super impose onto something...so much so one can’t tell the different between the two.
And part of this is the objectification of others, to view them as things. Not valuing a being as intrinsically valuable and actionable or autonomous...as extensions of ourselves. Our wants and our needs.
I don’t think sex or porn is the main factor but the emptiness and hollowness and shallowness of modern relationships...how they burn quickly, brightly and fast....also plays a part
Brievel Montague I think what sets the expectations more than anything is power dynamics, who has more control than the other person.
Embarrassingly for me, even though I'm 33 and now make close to six figures at my new job, I still live with my parents. Mainly due to the fact that I have Asperger's and that I don't want to feel alone. And that I feel like because of my difficulty reading social cues, nobody outside of my family would love me.
Man in the same boat
If anything this just shows how depressing some peoples lives are. And in the majority of these stories it’s never that persons fault. Sometimes people just need someone to talk to because it shows how much they can trust them. It’s actually very sad to see.
I just wanna say that I'm so happy how this comment section seems to be all about empathy and acknowledging that society is failing men at large when it comes to their emotional needs. I'd just like to also stick in that if you take something else from this video it's respect for sex workers who fulfil these fundamental human needs being neglected, as the video mentions over and over again none of this stuff is even remotely rare and is a pretty solid chunk of a sexworkers job
After many years of waiting, I met a young, very cute and sexy girl who asked me questions about myself and complimented me. It was everything I had always wanted in a date. Unfortunately, she was the salesgirl at a salon. She was trying to sell me $400 eye cream, but it was one of the best 20 minutes I've ever had.
This just made me want to be held wtf

This makes it seem like therapists are overpaid
They are.
They are
Or s3x workers are underpaid and deserve more respect.
Maybe some therapists are worth every cent they are paid. However, all I ever encountered were grossly overpaid motivational speakers.
Now if someone would destigmatize the sex workers so people could easily and legally pay one, that would be awesome.
This is so depressing
I wasn't expecting these wholesome posts
Damn s3x workers sound really nice people
For a second I thought the ‘looked like my son’ story was going to turn into that ‘bye mom’ urban legend story where she stiffs him with the bill.
Damn. That one about the gay guy really hit hard. As a guy who’s interested in other dudes (chicks too, I fall somewhere under the bi umbrella) dealing with myself not aligning with the “perfect” dude is rough. Oddly enough I don’t care much if others don’t look like a living god (even prefer it, I like a good dad bod or plush on a gal)
This is really gut wrenching for me. I am a 6 year long chronic depression young man who has nearly 0 contact with other people and is vary rare to be touched. I feel like these stories could easily be me if i ever got a escort as i think getting a hug/being held by a female is enough for me to collapse
A friend of mine that I met in physical therapy told me that he hired a sex worker just for companionship. Like me, he's wheelchair-bound but he's older. He and his wife were planning their 50 year anniversary as a huge extravaganza. She was killed in a car wreck a few months before this celebration was to take place. The lady that showed up he told her straight what his situation was and just wanted to go see a movie and go out to dinner with him. She asked about sex and he told her about his lack of ability and that he wasn't interested in that. Turns out, she was a police officer. She went out with him anyway.
Jesus. She really tried to pull a sting on a disabled dude smh
You are handsome btw
That's pretty fucked. Like all of it...but to try to sting a disabled guy. Wow.

@@alexanderfooy723 sure np 👍
"Guys just want to feel valued. And sex work is closer to therapy than just sex." Well, shit, and I guess it takes being a sex worker to understand this concept. Makes me hope sex work get decriminalized in the US soon, if at all. Since I dumped my last girlfriend do to her ghosting me a lot, among other things, I could use the therapy. O.o
I've been alone for years, no hand holding, no hugs, haven't heard a romantic word in years, I usually tank dates because they'll ask about me and either it's Army stories, fire ems stories, or me trying not to bring up legos, touhou, motorcycles or guns.....
To play "the game" I absolutely can't be me.
All that stuff is interesting, I've heard some of the best stories from people in the military and ems/fire. Everything from a Marine sinking a humvee in a river (tide came in, was deeper than advertised) and slamming a stupid butterbar's pins when he got upgraded to all the weird gross stuff EMTs have to deal with. It's fascinating.
Legos, guns, and motorcycles are cool af too.
Idk anything about touhou, but anime and video games always leave me a smidge lost, but I'm used to it after 7 years of that being my best friend's thing.
You seem like a cool dude. If hiding your coolness on dates doesn't work, why not go with the more genuine version of yourself? Hobbies and passions are awesome, they make you more interesting, take advantage of it.
Sounds like you’re looking for love in the wrong places. Because with the right person you CAN be you.
Idk man it might be hard to find a girl who is interested in those things. Maybe you need to find a friend. I'm sure you could find one all of those things are interesting to me (besides motorcycles) too dangerous I prefer side by sides
Yeah, men what one thing.
To be loved.
They want compliments and validation; someone to hold them and tell them everything will be okay.
Men want *one thing* and it's fucking disgusting.
Someone to treat them like an actual human and not a financial opportunity or emotional punching bag
We have lots of dating sites, but it looks like we need to start new “penpal” sites. Who knew there were so many people that felt so alone and unwanted. So sad. 😢Perhaps I should start a new social media profile so I could reach out without endangering myself or my family. 🤔
If you do this, you need to look up stuff about how to keep yourself safe. There are freaks out there that could have harmful intent.
You might want to try a game called "Kind Words". It basically a game where you send supportive letter to complete stranger. You choose if you want to ask for help or respond to those help. This whole thread remind me of that game.

Do you ever talk with your clients about Final Fantasy IX?
@@acrophis weirdo
@@conyerserin it was a genuine question lol seeing as you're named after an obscure character in it
@@acrophis oh, I thought you were talking about something else entirely. Sorry my dude
@@conyerserin It's cool I just love me some RPGs.
Everybody's looking for love. ❤️
I came here expecting to laugh.
I did not laugh.
Instead we got depression 😢💔
I already had a depression so it didn't change anything. I just hope that those guys and girls will get a chance to enjoy life!
