TL;DR: I am a 22 old virgin. Should I see a prostitute and just get over it?

The rules say no links so I won't link it, but in another thread I explained in some rambling that I'm depressed and trying to figure out how to improve my life basically. I'm a 22 year old virgin and a few people suggested I see a prostitute to just get over it. I've got some thoughts on it that I want to lay out for comment. I've got practical concerns and "moral" concerns or whatever. Please tell me whether what I am thinking is retarded or whatever because I have zero experience and everything is just from my hypothetical thoughts. Also, filling me in on what I am missing would be awesome. Thank you.

Let's start with the practical.

I know nothing about it and I don't know where to learn about it. I don't want to go find some street walker.

(1) To begin with, I think that I don't want to engage a prostitute anywhere that it is illegal. And none of this technicality bullshit. Decriminalized. Anything. Whatever. Unless I can ask a policeman for directions to the brothel then it's not legal enough for me. I think I could only possibly do it somewhere it is totally legal. I live in Australia. Apparently, it is legal here in some states here, but I am researching it still and I don't know if it is actually that retarded feminist model where the clients can still be arrested but not the prostitutes.

(2) I am afraid of sexually transmitted diseases. I also feel that I am ignorant on this. All I can think to do is wear a condom. I can't think of any other precautions. All I want is some very vanilla experiences. A blow job. Vaginal penetration.

(3) I also worry about my actual safety, never mind diseases. I think that going for a legal brothel in a state or country where it is legal to engage a prostitute would logically mean it is less likely to be connected to other sorts of crime and danger, but I still think it would serve me best to keep my guard up and bring exactly enough money to pay and not bring anything with me I would worry about having stolen.

I think I had other practical thoughts, but they are not coming to me at the moment. If you can think of anything I should consider please tell me.

Now, on the other side, is the, um, moral or whatever. I can't find the right word for it exactly.

I am worried about it. I was reading another thread where someone mentioned that even atheists tend to hold christian values (since we live in western christian countries) like feeling shame about sex. I think this is definitely true. Similarly, in a very blue pill mentality I use to feel ashamed of my sexuality, my desire for women, etc. I'm not a feminist, but it's had to escape all that bullshit. Being a man is bad, we are taught. I've gotten over that, mostly. Sometimes I still feel a pang of it, since I was being conditioned to believe it since I was born, but at least on a conscious level I realize I'm not bad for being a man or wanting to fuck women. However, I still feel like I'm doing something bad by going to a prostitute. I am not sure why or how. I worry about the danger of STDs.

For one thing, I donate my blood, and I am fairly sure that if I see a prostitute I won't be able to do that anymore. It makes me think that I shouldn't give that up because donating my blood saves lives. But then, I also think that if I don't change the direction of my life and fix my mental health then I'm going to blow up as a 30 year old virgin or whatever and just leap in front of a train. So, yeah, I guess I should just do what is best for me first, right? And I wonder about how it effects going after women in the future. I guess I just need to get tested at the doctor's immediately after seeing the prostitute and then if I come up clean I just never tell anyone. Hell, even if I have to tell someone, like my doctor, I guess I should just say I fucked some bar skank. I don't think I want to admit to anyone about seeing a prostitute if I do.

But more than that, I do feel worried in a general sort of way. Just anxious I guess. But also excited. Excited to just get over it. I've almost died a few times in my life, and I got to say I'd rather not go my entire life as a virgin. I kind of wish I had a different life where I could love and have children, but that doesn't seem congruent with reality at all. It seems like, best case scenario, my end game is that after I figured myself out and improved myself to a better state at 28-30 I can go to a south east asian country, marry some young 20 year girl, and then never come back if I want a family, but until then I still have to improve myself, and massive part of that seems like it has to do with women.

Shit, I'm getting off track. But these are my thoughts anyway. What can you tell me? What do you think? Is it shit advice? Or should I take the plunge? Part of me thinks I should. Life is temporary and I think I've been punishing myself for no reason. Who am I living this life for? Imaginary children I might have? An imaginary wife? I dunno.

Edit: or is it the ultimate give up and fail?
