subject: Paying for Sex: Why sometimes it's a good idea [print this page] Another time I would heartily condone someone visiting a sex worker is to lose their virginity if they are starting to stress about it. In some parts of Europe, it used to be customary for a father to send his son to a madam at the age of sixteen, and she would deflower him and team him how to make love to a woman properly. There is a lot to be said for that custom-not only did the son to get a practical lesson in how to be a great lover; he was able to lose his virginity in a safe environment, away from ridicule.
