Not necessarily first dates. I just answer truthfully when the topic comes up. I don't want to have it be a problem further down the line

I just answer truthfully when the topic comes up

It's just really hard to believe a women asks if you've had sex with a sex worker...

Most people don't ask for numbers, let alone details.

It has unfortunately come up before, hence my aprehension in approaching the topic.

I've been asked that question, and not just one time, so I believe OP that it can sometimes come up.

I ask my partners because I do not want to be with someone who pays for sex. Simply because our views on sex would be very different which leads to problems in the relationship, from my experience. Also, it would be quite dumb to lie on this because than we are both just wasting our time.
