you can just pay young prostitites instead of banging some leather bag
I think my wife is sexy, but to you it might look like; " Grandma gets banged ".
On a serious note on the OP topic:
I had a wonderful 2 parent childhood in "leave it to beaver" land.
From age 16, I started to think seriously about my adult lifestyle.
I saw plenty of Beatnik Hippy types and thought they were dirty bums.
You needed an education and legit career to take care of yourself.
I also saw plenty of adults with kids , in unhappy marriages .
Life raising children looked like a tedious, stressful existence.
Married with kids and a mortgage didn't look too good to me.
The wife/mom looked bitchy and the husband/dads looked like Al Bundy.
A few middle aged guys were divorced or never married and seemed cool.
But, to me hitting on babes half your age in the disco, looked pathetic.
For me , having a real relationship with a girl I found sexy was the ticket.
Granted, some of these didn't last, but that's life . You keep your head,
lick your wounds and move on.
I've seen too many divorced men , paying thru the nose, because of kids to support .
I see divorced men , switching the kids out on weekends, in a McDonald's parking low .
Since they had kids , he has to deal with this bitter ex-wife for YEARS after the final divorce.
I've cringed from observing "gold diggers" looking for a man to take care of them.
I have no moral issues with prostitution , but, never wanted to have sex with a whore.
My ( current ) wife is a real gem.
She's pretty, smart and my best friend.
We're married and partners , which allows us a better standard of living then being single.
Plus, it's nice to spend my days with someone I love, understand and respect.
I also know being a parent is a very important, cherished aspect of many people's life.
It may not have been meant for me and my wife, but others may be called for it.
I'm happy, secure and have no axes to grind or anything left to prove .
