Call it what you will, but here goes. Yes, I have paid for a prostitute in my life. Did a have sex with her? Nope.

I was going through a period where I just didn't feel very, well, human. The chain-owned paper where I was working had reached the point where it was clear journalism wasn't all that much of a priority anymore. I no longer felt as though I was serving readers or performing some semblance of a public service. It was as though all the color had been drained from my chosen profession. I was young and it hurt like hell.

I tried a few things, volunteering, giving blood frequently, giving my old winter coats, blankets and flannel shirts to the homeless I'd run across, things like that. None of it seemed to help much. Soon, on Thursday and Friday nights after my shift and drunk college kids were stumbling out of the bars, I would give some of them a ride back to campus.

One night, I stopped a truck stop and noticed a regular prostitute. I had seen her before, even politely declined a solicitation once. She wasn't ugly and since it wasn't hard to sell such services at a truck stop with a motel attached, she didn't need to dress like a skank. On this night, it was clear someone had beat the shit out of her. The makeup couldn't hide the bruises. I thought about for a minute, and asked her what it take to have her until dawn. I let her in my truck, gave her part of the agreed upon price, told her I had no intention of touching her and that I just wanted to get her off the street. I drove her to a Denny's a few miles a way, drank coffee and talked with her for five hours, paid her and drove her home at dawn. That was that.

Did it help me? Somewhat. Did it help her? I wish I could say it did some good, but probably not.

That's fucking quality, sir. I hope everything is going better for you now. I hear blood's important.
