Visiting a prostitute DOES NOT solve the problem at all. I did that because I thought it would release all my sexual frustrations (I was a virgin who had never even been hugged by a girl) and allow me to concentrate on life again (I was thinking of like you say, not sex, but a girlfriend, like the whole day). I thought having sex was going to numb my urge to find a girlfriend but it doesn't. It's the love you want, not the physical side. I learnt that the hard way. I commend you for being able to identify that before falling into the traps that I did .
