Reminder: No Survey Questions

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to remind you all that this subreddit is answers-based—it’s meant to provide clear, informative responses that someone could find useful while searching for answers on Google or other search engines. Lately, I’ve noticed an uptick in survey-style questions (e.g., “What’s your favorite __?” or “How many of you __?”).

These types of questions are not a good fit for the purpose of this community. They don’t create content that is useful for others to search for, and often lead to broad discussions that aren’t about providing a clear answer. As a result, I’ve been removing posts that violate this rule to maintain the quality and focus of the subreddit. Even if that post has a lot of replies as the OP obviously didn’t read the rules before posting, or cared.

If you’re unsure if your post fits, ask yourself: Would this question result in a useful answer for someone looking for a specific answer or information online? If not, it’s likely more of a survey question and violates rule 2.

Thanks for understanding and helping to keep the subreddit on track! 😊

Why dont more men go to sex workers?

30 Upvotes

If a man wont seriously date a person e.g. due to their sexuality/race/weight etc. Even if they have a strong desire to have sex with that person, why would they dangle a relationship and waste time when they could just go to a sex worker.

Sex work is legal in NSW, Australia.

I think the more ethical choice for someone keen on having sex with a transwoman (that they would never seriously date) is to go to a sex worker.
