Men who pay for sex are more likely than men who do not pay for sex to commit a variety of offenses including violent crimes against women, according to research conducted in the Boston area.
The study, released this week, was based on interviews with 202 men conducted by the nonprofit group Prostitution Research and Education and was led by Melissa Farley, a clinical psychologist and anti-prostitution activist.
Buyers and non-buyers of commercial sex from the Boston area were paired by age, education and ethnicity to compare their perceptions of women after voluntarily joining the study. About half the men paid for sex and the other half did not.
Men who paid for sex were more likely to report having committed felonies and misdemeanors, including crimes related to violence against women and those related to substance abuse, assault and weapons, the study found.
The study was designed, among other things, to test attitudes of men who buy sex. It found that as a group, they share certain attitudes and behavioral tendencies different from their non-buying peers.
Almost three in four of the sex buyers reported they learned about sex from pornography, whereas only 54 percent of the non-buyers did so.

‘Cause he gets up in the morning,
And he goes to work at nine,
And he comes back home at five-thirty,
Gets the same train every time.
‘Cause his world is built ‘round punctuality,
It never fails.
And he’s oh, so good,
And he’s oh, so fine,
And he’s oh, so healthy,
In his body and his mind.
He’s a well respected man about town,
Doing the best things so conservatively.
And his mother goes to meetings,
While his father balls the maid,
And she stirs the tea with councilors,
While discussing foreign trade,
And she passes looks, as well as bills
At every suave young man
‘Cause he’s oh, so good,
And he’s oh, so fine,
And he’s oh, so healthy,
In his body and his mind.
He’s a well respected man about town,
Doing the best things so conservatively.
And he likes his own backyard,
And he likes his fags the best,
‘Cause he’s better than the rest,
And his own sweat smells the best,
And he hopes to grab his father’s loot,
When Pater passes on.
‘Cause he’s oh, so good,
And he’s oh, so fine,
And he’s oh, so healthy,
In his body and his mind.
He’s a well respected man about town,
Doing the best things so conservatively.
And he plays at stocks and shares,
And he goes to the Regatta,
And he adores the girl next door,
‘Cause he’s dying to get at her,
But his mother knows the best about
The matrimonial stakes.
‘Cause he’s oh, so good,
And he’s oh, so fine,
And he’s oh, so healthy,
In his body and his mind.
He’s a well respected man about town,
Doing the best things so conservatively.
“led by Melissa Farley, a clinical psychologist and anti-prostitution activist.”
Tht says the ‘study” is pure bullshit!
Classic correlation/causation issues here, methinks.
Don’t we all pay for it, one way or another???
Maybe not to the extent the report is stating (insinuating), but more in an overall scheme of things???
My wife would say (joking) that she earns every single handbag she has bought in the last ten years to what goes on behind closed doors...ehem, with me...;-)
And to tell the truth, she is worth a lot more to me than handbags...
Us married guys tend to consider bartering to be the best way.
Tht says the ‘study” is pure bullshit!
Because true studies can only be led by pro prostitution activists?
And of course, by your thinking, anything put out by anyone is BS because everyone has a bias.
Forget examining methodology, just declare everything irrelevant.
Studies about cancer treatments are automatically BS... if they are put out by cancer survivors...
As statistical analysts say "correlation is not causation".
More likely the kind of guy who can't hold a job won't have much luck staying in a relationship either.

I can imagine that would have a negative influence.
Because studies carried out by people with a serious agenda need much more independent verification than studies carried out by people who do not have an interest in the outcome.

“Studies about cancer treatments are automatically BS”
I have lung cancer and consider treatments currently used by oncologists to be nothing short of murder.
Could the poster conceivably have an agenda?
Could you or I?
Wow! this is easy.
I still coonsider oncologists to be murderers!
Then stay away from oncologists, they probably don’t think very highly of you, either.
Not surprised. Placemark for pingout.
Everyone buys sex, it’s just a matter of how you pay.
