Think of it as “traditional relationships for the financially able, but that ship has sailed or maybe never made it out of the dockyards.”
The paid companionship, whether by the hour, the evening, or with trinkets, gifts, and travel, is no different than hiring a contractor, a trainer, a therapist. Everybody needs somebody sometime.

It really should be nobody else’s business, so long as there’s no abuse involved
No one really think it’s not okay but you will most likely get made fun of for it
it’s your money, do what you want with it. i would recommend to just go out and meet potential friends as it’s FREE.
I don’t think that’s unpopular
If I had that sort of money, I’d pay it.
Nobody should feel lonely, especially not in a world where everything can be bought
The problem is that you’re codifying transactionalism into the relationship, and those are the least gratifying relationships. A part of you remains unsatisfied because the “benefits” aren’t as rewarding as a sincere connection.
Legalize it and then regulate it. The workers would be safer. Everything would be better! DO IT NOW. It’s very profitable I promise. The government is missing out! They already have their satanic cult rituals and islands. COME ON JUST DO IT
Legalize! Regulate!
Everybody wins. Oh but the 1% don’t want that so oh well
I don’t judge other people for it, but I do think for myself I would find it unfulfilling.
Not really unpopular I suppose. I paid for “it” around 27-28 years ago when I went to Amsterdam for the first time just to get “it” out of the way.
It did not go well and ended with me giving myself a concussion, so it was memorable for all the wrong reasons .. heh 🙂
I will say I agree, but there’s an inherent layer of abuse and illegal behavior going on behind the scenes. Criminal organizations make most of their money based on three enterprises: drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, and sex trafficking. If you make companionship legal, the percent of people paying for it would go way up, but most people wouldn’t do the work, so criminal organizations would just force women in particular to work as prostitutes for them. They already do this, but they’d ramp it up as the number of people wanting their services drastically increases.
Socially, I think it should be accepted, but I worry about the points I made above if it became a more widespread practice.
