I think it would be. It’s much easier, and legal!, to buy “friendship” abroad than in the US. Governments in Netherlands, Germany, and Czech Republic don’t care what consenting adults do with their time and money, unlike the US which is all up in people’s business. Except for Nevada, which is a stinking shithole in many other ways.

Being able to be with a hooker on a weekly basis, no dating game, no commitment would for sure relax me.

But buying friendship is less needed in (say) Germany, since people have enough free time to participate in things like hiking clubs where it’s easy to meet people of the correct gender.
