My position is if you're in a country where it's legal and you want to get your rocks off then go for it.
But otherwise don't risk legal trouble over some trashy bitch. Especially in the US unless you have connections to get a "high end" escort (which cost a ridiculous amount of money and are absolutely not worth it! better off spending that money on something nice for yourself!), pretty much all the whores are trashy and drug addicted and definitely not someone you want to be around. It falls under my "I'm not going to let myself get screwed over because of some bitch" category, so for me part of being mgtow is not paying the way for whores and it's demeaning to your own self respect to be around a girl like that. Better to be celibate than to settle for a garbage girl just to satisfy the urge.
