I'm sure it really depends on where you are, and what level of prostitute you are looking for. If you're in a tourist city or a "money" city (NYC, Miami, Atlanta, Vegas, LA, SF, etc.) then there are going to be higher-end options that could cost $1000-2000 an hour - of course, you have to be vetted to even be allowed to use such services in most cases.

In most places, your run-of-the-mill prostitute is going to be a about a 5-7 out of 10 in looks, will probably be late 20s or early 30s, and is going to charge you $100-200 for an hour - an hour being the maximum amount of time for that price (these prices will be adjusted based on location and other factors). Typically, your "date" is over as soon as you cum, so for some guys, this might mean 10 minutes.

Yes, you can go to the Motel 6 in rougher towns or down to the crack alleys and get $20 BJs and $50 fucks, but not only will those women look rougher, but they're much more likely to have AIDS, Hep, Herpes, and other nasty stuff that can't be gotten rid of, because they're hooking for drugs and they don't take care of themselves.

Is it possible to get a hot 19-year-old? Probably, but I would guess that you're going to get bait-and-switched a lot (you're likely to be dealing with pimps, who control everything), and if you actually get that girl, you're going to be paying a premium for her time ($300-500 per hour or more).

If you are going to go down the road of a prostitute, and you are SMART, then you'll try to find a woman who is local, treat her well, and become a regular. There are women who work out of their homes, seeing no more than 2-3 regulars per day, maybe only a couple days a week. They're typically not teens but late 20s-30s, average-to-above average in attractiveness (nothing amazing, usually), but they are looking for drama-free transactions, preferably with regulars.

Is that cheaper or more expensive than a girlfriend? That all depends, doesn't it? You can certainly spend less on a girlfriend, but you can also spend a lot more. There are risks with prostitutes as well - you don't want to get busted for soliciting, or get an STD - and most prostitutes have limits - you usually can't kiss them, and some won't let you suck their tits or finger them or whatever. But you are going to get the intercourse you paid for, and you're going to be left alone once it's over, so if you're looking for no-drama sex, a prostitute could be a way to get that reliably and with a known quantity of effort (whatever it takes to make the money she demands). With a girlfriend, things can be much more uncertain.

i have girl friends who have done the following, gone off the pill to trap a guy into child support. pursued rape charges out of revenge and the prommise of damages claims. sent guys bankrupt with weddinngs divorces and property settlements. few people partner for life. most people will go through an end of relationship emotional rollercoaster, these are more often than not costly and dangerous times. guys cannot force girls to untrap them by ending a pregnancy. i do social work with men that are tricked and can't keep up. contraception does fail. vesectomy is better want to avoid a life of enforced poverty. std are as prevalent in the mainstream community. the plain looking older sex workers are not as spoilt for attention as the the young attractive ones. you only get one life. please dont get trapped into the child support slavery trap

To each their own, but my feelings have softened a lot towards escorts or sex workers, nothing wrong with a guy either losing his V-card that way or to end a very long dryspell.

I'm only against it when it comes a regular or constant, consistent thing

[loves2learn]

Wowwwww. Interesting question. How high end is the prostitute? How often do you see the girlfriend or the prostitute? How high maintenance is your girlfriend?
.
I am going to say your average girlfriend should be less expensive and more rewarding than a prostitute.

[tonysia]

when youve been through wedding costs divorce costs legal , property settlement, loss of superanuation, and home, child support criminal followed by cival law suites that often occur when 2 emotional lovers go to war, and then the cost to reputation when your disgruntled partner wages relentless destruction on social media. most people will have to end a relationship at some stage of there lives. if only i could tell men the full financial, legal and criminal risks they are taking. the risk of going to a legal brothel. you are in a place where consent is easier to defend. showing kindness and not belittling the ladies by not judging them on looks can mean a regular pleasant affordable life with out the screaming fights and massive legal and financial exposure,

[Little_Bumblebee]

Wouldn't that depend highly on the girlfriend and the kind of prostitute you visit? And how often?

[CSGBE]

Well I live in brussels (Belgium) where prostitution is legal, safe, affordable, common and not stigmatized like in the U. S or Scandinavian countries.
The price for window girls (currently) is roughly between 20 and 50 euros for 15 minutes (blowjob then sex (one or two positions depending on the girl).
There's a lot of them and they travel so you'll always have options to change girls every time. You could also use the redlight website to book girls then it's usually same prices but often 30 minutes minimum (so anywhere from 40 to 100 euros more if you're looking for something extra like anal or bareback for example) and you can take a shower afterwards.

For perspective an average salary in 2022 from what I've seen and heard is about for a student job would be about 12euros/hour after tax and for a regular adult 20 to 40 euros an hour after tax (so prostitution is very affordable here) and euros are roughly equivalent to dollars in worth.

As for the cost of a girlfriend is more complicated as it's a case to case basis but generally you'll have to meet a certain attractiveness level before even being considered and then spend a couple of dates (maybe 50 to 100 euros per date) then once you've got here there will be upkeep (your time, energy and money) but most importantly vacations (for example a friend at my job went to southern Europe for one week with his girlfriend and that cost him about 2000 euros (roughly all his savings).
So definitely having a girlfriend isn't cheap and I don't know any guy who has one but doesn't also work.

Personally I think women never have sex for free or for 'charity' (like because they feel bad that you're single) and everything's got a price) and so if it's just sex you want the definitely escorts are cheaper here.

I remember a quote that says "If it floats, flies or fucks don't buy it rent it".

Your basically paying money on a girlfriend that MIGHT have sex with you vs a prostitute that WILL have sex with you. At the same time women who have sex with you on a first date are basically prostitutes anyways. So I really don't see the difference the two. One can give you actual love and at the same time ruin your life. A prostitute can ruin your life too with STDs. Risky business either way! I guess i like the girlfriend because of the illusion of some level of purity/standards/class. I try to tell myself she isn't a slut so I can try to form a lasting relationship... this is what society as come to :(((((

[Waldoe]

prostitutes are paid up "front" there is exchange of "goods for money" and then your done... a girlfriend expects gifts on special days, birthday, anniversary, Christmas and also Dinner out, Movies, Trips... a prostitute exchanges money for sex, simple and cheaper

[slatyb]

Depends on how often you want to have sex, and what other benefit you can get from a partner. An escort I would be willing to hire would probably get $300 or more per hour. That’s more than a nice meal for two.

[Anonymous]

Regardless of what women want to believe, paying $200 for a hooker with guaranteed sex and no added bullshit, is WAAAAAAY cheaper than dating where we have to pay for a couple dates and try to convince a female we are good enough to have sex with before they will even both putting out... then if we do get sex, we have to deal with all the added bullshit that comes afterwards

[FilmGuy93]

I guess it depends on how regularly you go to the prostitute. But I would think she's probably cheaper, as long as you don't frequent her too frequently.

[Twalli]

It depends on the prostitute and what you want. Just sex may be cheaper than the girlfriend experience, but otherwise a girlfriend is cheaper and you already know you'll enjoy the sex.

[jeffryrobertbabb]

If you just want sex, a prostitute is cheaper, but if you want a life-long partnership it will cost you more, but it will be more emotionally satisfying.

[tonysia]

its when a relationship ends that the real costs can be crippling. divorce property settlement incudes half your super or retirement fund. unwanted pregnancy child support. loss off home, new laws in australia mean it is easier for an embittered partner to stage a false rape charge. So if you dont think you can handle being gang rapped and disfigured in tiny cell waiting for your next appeal, be very very careful , if you want a girlfriend get written consent before sex if she says she changed her mind half way through the act you'll still be up on a rape charge, have a vasectomy, you can store sperm adopt or reverse later. thousands of male suicides are attributed to the above. i was able to clear a client from a rape charge because no sperm was found in a seaman sample. if you think the above is an exaggeration, i work the system and its overflowing because you can loose everything in a cival suite if you survive your life in jail.

[Avicenna]

I'd imagine they're more expensive unless you're OK with having sex at most only a few times a month

[tonysia]

girl gets deliberaly pregnant trapping guy into child suport, cost 200'000, girl charges guy with rape, cost life sentence. plus loss of income. 1,000,000. divorce costs ,10,000. settlement costs. astronomical. wedding costs. ioss of reputation. im a girl who has girl friends that have done this to men. only 2 in 5 marriges are happy. sex workers are way less stressful std levels are the same., and given the risks are way way cheaper.

[exitseven]

I say more expensive but I was always somebody that liked to go on cheap dates.

I gave this a like just because it's a legitimate point to consider. Thank you for contributing to the GAG community.

Depends on the quality. A cheap prostitute would probably be equal to a cheap girlfriend.

[Shy_Steve]

I can understand that Girlfriends can get expensive but I think Prostitutes are way more expensive.

[Shy_Steve]

Even if you have spent thousands of dollars in one day with your Girlfriend, A Prostitute can charge that in one hour.

[TrgZila]

Expensive... it will cost you your life, if you catch a disease

[Chthou95]

Prostitutes are cheaper. You spend more money on a girlfriend than you would with a prostitute
