Idk what men you grew up around but that’s simply not true. Any self respecting (and woman respecting) man would not engage with sex workers in any sense. There’s plenty of men who don’t. Additionally, there is just as much shame in purchasing sexual acts than there is in offering them.
I just don’t see it that way. If I am in a relationship with a man I don’t think he’d see me as purchasable. Just because in the past he had solicited someone who was willingly offering a service and he properly compensated them doesn’t mean he views you that way. That’s a completely different context. Like if just cause his hairstylist is a woman doesn’t mean he thinks he can get me to cut his hair.
