I don't think he was implying that he treats his girlfriend like a prostitute... more that their relationship hasnt progressed to the point of seriousness where he feels that he should help her financially.
And OP i agree with you, if you're not living together and your relationship hasnt reached a serious point, don't start paying her way.

She's not a prostitute, the thought of sex for monwy seemed to be the topic of this article.
If you think sex causes a relationship, think again- i there is no relationship without sex, you're with thewrong person. Find someone else.
If you love her and you guys havfe a lot of fun together and enjoy being together and really feel like you can be together forever, that's a relationship.
Sometimes sex can cause a lot of problems, and blinds people from true love.

Geeze, doesn't sound like you're in a relationship. Sounds like the both of you use each other, or at least, you want to.
Never lend a girlfriend money. Keep money out of the relationship if you want it to survive, and keep sex out of it being used as a "reward". Pay bills for sex? Sounds like the definition of prostitution.

Im not sure what sex has to do with paying bills. If you like and trust her enough to help her out financially...thats great. But if you feel shes over stepping the mark by asking for help, just politely decline.

Your situation has become incredibly yucky.
I wd say just get out of there and move on to someone else.
Sex or no sex why would you be paying her bills if you are not sharing an apartment ?

Than I wouldnt .apparently she thinks that your important enough in her life to pay her bills but not enough to have sex with ,. I would tell her no an when she asks why . tell her exactly what I just told you

On the other hand, if you don't want to pay her bills, then don't. Don't do anything you don't want to do. And watch out, you don't want to be used for your money either.
Just remember, sex shoulnd't be contingent on any gifts or nice acts you do for her.
