I actually wonder how many of the incels would make use of prostitutes or escorts if prostitution has legalized tomorrow.

It seems that a lot of them still have the mainstream shame and revulsion to having to explicitly pay up front for sex. They seem to still want that illusion that the woman enjoyed their dinner date and the trip to the theater and whatever; and that the reason she's having sex with him is because she likes his personality.

I reckon this contributes a lot to why they prefer OnlyFans instead of just random porn stars on PH or whatever. They don't want to watch even the exact same video of the exact same girl doing the exact same thing. They want to watch live and pretend they're the only one in the room, and they want to interact live because it makes them feel "involved" and like they're "contributing" in some way to her enjoyment performance.

Any sane person would point out you could take that same money and just visit a decent classy escort, but I guess there is some underlying need for plausible deniability or something.
