Im not sure its destigmatized either. Its always been frowned upon, even by SoSuave posters; some even will proudly claim "I´ve never paid for it" or some variant of that
It is destigmatized. Some people may say "I've never paid for it", but they will also say under the same breath "but I don't judge anyone who might" and generally have a tolerant and non-judgmental attitude towards those who do go there. Some posters even going as far as to say that they count in terms of notch-counts. If you look at
@SW15 attitude and even others, they are now viewing escort visits as valid notch-counts and that would have been something UNTHINKABLE in the 00s version of this board. People are just seeing it as a fact of life that guys who don't want to deal with the drama, BS or skewed dating market but who just want to meet a basic need (in their minds, not mine) not much different to eating, drinking or sleeping (ie again this is a position that I'm strongly opposed to. For example, when I used an escort back in December, 2014, I was UNABLE to actually eat, sleep or drink properly because of the PTSD type trauma involved being with such a lady that I have never used on again since).
On the other hand, there has been nothing positive mentioned with guys who use OnlyFans. In relationship to escorts, OnlyFans is very much highly stigmatized on here with people nosing into content creators and how much they are making, etc.... and view it as a simping.
However, I guess over time, and a new bunch of posters on here, even that too will eventually be desgimatized as well. You are already seeing the writing on the wall when dating apps start losing male subscribers and losing business and a good number of them are just flocking to OnlyFans instead.
