Hiring a woman to have sex w/you is anathema to most aspiring pick-up artists. It seems to go against everything they are trying to be all about, which is acquiring the ability to get free sex. Hired women are stereotypically thought of as the most manipulative of all women out there, the enemy to be avoided at all cost! So it seems a little ironic to find here and there a pick-up artist suggesting to a beginner to sleep w/a hired woman. Not in order to get trapped into becoming a "discreet gentleman" idiot, of course. But simply having sex w/ a hired woman in order to get over one's fear of an attractive woman, which is usually, deep down, some type of sexual fear. Or for sexual practice, or help in developing sexual confidence, which maybe needed in order to attract women. I was just curious what people here thought about this topic and this seemingly contradictory advice.
