Man openly describes visits to prostitutes and his view of them

Latvian news portal Apollo.lv has published a first-person account in which a man speaks frankly about his attitude toward buying sexual services. The material consists of one person's recollections and opinions, not a study or official data.

What the man says

He says he has been with 50 to 60 prostitutes over his lifetime, possibly more, because he does not remember the exact number. In his words, men do not remember prostitutes: it is done and then forgotten.

The man acknowledges that women will condemn such behaviour, but he maintains that visiting a prostitute is not cheating. He claims that 90% of men do it, including those who have wives or girlfriends. That figure is the speaker's own estimate, and the source gives nothing to back it up.

What else is covered

The story also touches on how much such services cost. The man sets out his opinion on why a woman should not undermine her relationship with a man who has developed a desire for intimacy.

The publication presents itself as a brutally honest view from one person on a subject that is rarely discussed openly. The available excerpt does not give the man's name, age or occupation.
