Then, as the Skeezyks says, move on and don't go to prostitutes again. Find other ways to meet your sexual needs (masturbation, for one). And find a woman who you care about and see if she's into sex. But don't be a boor about it, though. (For example, "Hi, I'm Shawn. Want to have sex?" Too fast and a turn-off!)

And, yes, a therapist would be good for support.
I think I may go to a therapist one day. I have many unresolved issues that probably led to me making the decisions that I did. I don't plan on seeing them ever again, the thought of doing it again disgusts me now. I've been masturbating 2-3 times a day on a daily basis since I was about 11 or 12. It met my sexual needs but it wasn't enough. I definitely wouldn't approach a woman like that, haha.
