Looks like I have a lot of reading to do…

and I am so looking forward to it

K

my name’s Al, I’m from the UK.

I found your blog after searching the net on information about the psychology of prostitution.

I’ve read your posts on this site (http://menstrualpoetry.com/psychology-men-prostitutes)

and I’ve learnt a lot about myself, so I want to thank you.

I live in the UK, am a musician in Wales, and have a wonderful relationship with my fiancee, I intend to marry her soon.

I’m happy in the relationship (almost 8 years now), but before I met her I visited prostitutes on a regular basis.

I haven’t been with another woman during the relationship for many years, but I find myself going back, and I really don’t feel well about what I’m doing to the women and myself, let alone the fact I’m cheating on my finacee.

I want to stop this now. The problem isn’t simple addiction or obsession(granted those aren’t simple), and your post made me realise the tip of the iceberg.

I believe if I can understand the triggers involved, I’ll be able to realise them and be aware, before they override my behaviour and I risk everything again, and again.

I think your posts have set me on the right path in starting to understand myself as a man.

Thanks for your blog and honesty.
