Experts believe that men visit prostitutes for numerous reasons. Firstly, it's never been easier to find and contact sex workers due to the internet and legal brothels opening up every year. Secondly, a growing number of men are often in a stable relationship, but will still visit prostitutes to perhaps play out fantasies or domination that they can't get at home.

Single men may visit prostitutes because they may see it easier than playing the dating game. Men can pay for sex in a straight forward transaction, and they get what they want. There are also no emotional strings attached.

Having sex with prostitutes can be a thrilling and illicit experience for a man, which gives them a sense of power and control. Some experts argue that for certain men, the act of visiting a prostitute has become an extension of the high-adrenaline lifestyle commonplace today. For other men, the "cheapness" of the whole act is a turn-on for them.

If a man is in a relationship with someone and visits prostitutes, is it seen as cheating? Can a man declare that he didn't cheat because he has no emotional connection to the girl? Or is having sex with another person at any time cheating, whether there is an emotion connection or not?
