It started because of a joke one of his friends made about him. They were hanging out one night, watching a cricket. The topic of women came up, and they all started bragging about who they were dating or sleeping with on the side. karan had to admit that he hadn't been seeing anyone lately, which made one of his friends joke that Karan hadn't been laid in so long that his virginity was making a comeback. They all had a good laugh, even Karan, who thought it was funny. But when the laughter ended, Karan had to hide the look of disappointment he had in himself.
The truth was that Karan, at 30-years-old, was indeed an actual virgin. And like most men, he lied about his sexual conquests to avoid being ridiculed. And he couldn't help thinking that if this continued, he would eventually become a 40-year-old virgin, a joke made by that movie, but which was actually very pathetic in real life. Granted, he was still ten years away from being forty, but he had already wasted his twenties not getting laid, so he dreaded the idea of spending his thirties the same way.
His friends just assumed he was shy around women, which was why he didn't date as much as the rest of them. It was mostly true; he gets nervous around women; he doesn't know how to talk to them other than as a friend. Even after he gets used to the women he has dated, he doesn't know how to move forward with them. He has had some other kinds of sexual experience, some hand jobs and a few blowjobs. He even fingered a few of them in return, but nothing else.
That joke his friend made was on his mind the next few days, making him think about his current options. After giving it some serious thought, he made the last resort decision he had been putting off for years and get himself a prostitute. He felt he just needed to get it out of his system, be with a woman, even if it was just done for financial reasons and not a real personal connection. He also believed that if he simply gained some experience with a woman, he would have more confidence when it came to having sex with a future girlfriend, and hopefully many women in the future.
But the question was how to go about getting a prostitute. Getting one was not as easy as the movies made it out to be. Dating apps such as Tinder were not as easy as people thought, according to some of his friends who tried it. Searching on the internet was too risky. He heard too many horror stories on the news about men who tried that also. And he heard enough bad stories from a cop friend of his about men he had to arrest for soliciting prostitutes in the streets, and if they weren't getting arrested, they were getting robbed by those women.
There was one solution he had left; it was still risky, but it probably wouldn't get him into as much trouble. In one of the few places where he doesn't feel nervous around women, was at the strip club. He felt more comfortable there because there were no strings attached. He can enjoy seeing beautiful naked women, get some good lap dances, and even talk to them without being too nervous around them. He even enjoyed buying a dancer a drink and talking to them before they went for the lap dance. It was probably because money was involved, so it was more business related and they had to be extra friendly to him. It was more fantasy than reality, but it still helped him and made him feel better being around women.
Of course, he knew that not all strippers were hookers. The vast majority of them were just good women who wanted to earn some money. But there were a few in between who were definitely doing it on the side for extra money. Over the years, he had a few of them subtly suggest to him that they were willing to do more for him in the backrooms for a price. At the time, he said no, not wanting to go that route to lose his virginity, but now he felt that was going to be his only option left.
Those dancers who suggested that to him were long gone by then, so he had to find someone new among the other dancers he could pay for. He had to start asking around, but didn't want to come off looking like a pervert. He was known by the other dancers as a friendly guy and a good tipper; he didn't want to do anything that would give him a bad reputation at the club, or worse, get banned for life.
