I was never interested in prostitution. When I was in Germany (they have large red light districts) my friends would head there and I could never understand why. I have no problem with prostitution, I think it should be legal, I just do not see the pleasure in it.
For me it is all about the challenge of the hunt, getting that mental/physical connection, then having crazy sex once the two of us are 'connected'. It is the look in her eyes, her scent, the lustful grin, that first touch, lips meet, hands roam over each other, then you start unwrapping each other and intertwine...words cannot explain it all.
It is even more powerful when you see someone for the first time, you don't even really need to speak with each other, and you know there is an animalistic attraction between the two of you. That doesn't happen that much and it makes it so special when it does happen.
You don't get that with a hooker. The other side is just there for the money.
