Are there any books about 23 year old virgins who live alone and do nothing except masturbate and browse the internet whose lives turn around immediately with no effort and then they live in perfect bliss for the rest of their days?

that's not a board for books so i doubt it

I don't understand why anyone who's still a virgin by say, the age of 21 wouldn't just hire a hooker and be done with it. Assuming you've got the money and your equipment works, there's no good reason not to.

are there any books about such a person but instead of his life turning around, it keeps being the same and he kills himself eventually?

I'd be afraid the condom might break and id get hiv. I'd be living in fear after fucking her. it would be terrible.

losing virginity to hooker just seems so sad, equally sad to being a virgin except in one scenario i don't have to do anything and in the other i have to navigate a social relation with a woman who resents me anyway.

both equally pathetic to me

That's a ridiculous fear assuming you buy new condoms that are your size instead of being too big or small. You'd just get tested a couple of times after that and be on your merry way.

For the most part STDs are only a serious concern if you're having unprotected sex or fucking a lot of hookers. You could potentially catch something from just one, yes, but the odds are relatively low with a fresh condom.

Not at all. If anything, it's actually better than losing it normally because it puts exactly how meaningless and romanticized the cultural ideas of virginity and sex are.

Intimacy is intimacy and sex is sex. People are memed into thinking they're one thing, but they're not.

What if they're saving themselves for marriage?

I won't suggest a novel outright, but I'm going to give some serious thought to the trope.

Many weeaboo mangos and animus have something like this as their premise: a sympathetic loser happens upon some supernatural power which introduces a q.t. girl of some kind into his life, which then makes life worth living. His life may not be perfect, but it becomes much more interesting for all involved, since the plot itself requires that the girl is (usually) happy to be there, for whatever reason. Sometimes, he even actually manages to fuck the girl, though for some reason, this copulation is left out of the story for an extended period, as a kind of torture which would seem to contradict the above.

Oh My Goddess! is the most concrete example which comes to mind. Other examples include Tenchi Muyo, Video Girl Ai, and other harem animus of the 90s/turn of the millenium.

Related stories include the Scott Pilgrim franchise, and to a lesser extent the I Dream of Jeannie TV show (I think that the guy was actually an astronaut/pilot though, so he actually had something specific going for him to begin with). Weird Science also comes to mind. It's always some (supernatural pixie dream?) girl that makes it all worthwhile.

Can't think of a novel along these lines though. I think one could make a straightforward argument that the simple story premise is the stuff of "low" culture, as I've sketched above.

Bookstores to this very day have whole aisles dedicated to romance pulp, usually targetting straight women. I wonder if there's any prose outliers that work the other way. Not high culture of course, but it would fit OP's prompt.

The point of losing your virginity is being validated by being recognized as desirable by a woman, prostitutes defeat the purpose

puts those things into perspective, I mean.

>>8129344
Then they're memed the fuck out, t b h. If you're a man, there's nothing to "save", and if you're a woman "saving yourself" for marriage will most likely make a divorce more likely because you'll have all sorts of exaggerated and retarded ideas about sex which will make things awkward and miserable.
>>
>>8129355
if that's the "point" of it for you, then you'll never win because seeking validation through others never leads to satisfaction.

I don't want to fuck a sex worker. If sex is not reciprocal it is not worth it in my eyes. |I'm not saying that as a standard all should have, just mine. Very few hookers actually want to fuck you unless they're a nymph in which case it's essentially mutual masturbation. It doesn't need to be deep shit but at least some sort of mutual care for sex. Otherwise I'd rather just jerk off, easier, less hassle, no anxiety etc

>>8129366
Don't jump the gun, I don't really give a shit if a young person is a virgin or not but its clearly why the /r9k/ types cling to it
>>
>>8129287
hiring a prostitute doesn't appeal to me at all. i doubt i would enjoy it, it would probably make me more depressed, and i want to be able to sleep with a woman who is actually attracted to me/affectionate toward me in some way.

plus there's the outside chance i would get caught by the law. so it's an easy no.

For the US citizens who comprise half this site's userbase, especially naive ones who have never visited a whore before as your example requires, the prospect of visiting a whore is both illegal (thus carrying a small, but real chance of getting pinched by vice), and carries a high risk of getting taken by a whore, or tuned up by some pimp.

Come at it from the other direction. If someone gets to 21 or so and is so risk-averse that he hasn't managed any conventional copulation, then the higher-risk activity of visiting a prostitute may be even less palatable to our would-be John, and not in a wholly irrational manner. The point being that your assertion that "there's no good reason not to" is clearly false, particularly in a Burger's case. Even some athlete who drove out to the Bunny Ranch in the past year or two met with some kind of a bad end, whose details escape me.

You're also discounting the effect of HQ porn on contemporary society. That stuff is free, keeps men docile and out of trouble (unless of course they snap years later), and doesn't give one a dose of genital herpes or legal trouble, if only the user is careful where he clicks. It's catnip for these risk-averse men.
