I'll share this with you: I'm a man who used to have sex with prostitutes, and it did NOT contribute to making me happy. It causes serious self-esteem issues that take a good deal of work to overcome. I still fight these issues, and I've willingly walked into a lot of crappy situations - and stayed there - that I know if I'd had normal self-esteem, I would have walked out, and spoke up for myself on the way out the door - I've done neither, just silently endured all kinds of abuse from people.
Low self-esteem is very destructive, and hiring prostitutes for sex cannot make a man feel anything but low self-esteem. Also, the loneliness after they leave is 10 times worse than before they arrived - and it's a loneliness and sadness that will eat your heart out for years if you don't find someone who wants to be with you without you having to pay for it.
It's not the best solution for anyone's life. I wish I could tell everything it's done to wreck mine, but I don't want to write a book here.

I for the most part agree with this.

Using sex as a means to happiness is on par with drug use and alcoholism. I can understand the Christian point of view although I am not a Christian. While I don't agree with the way the bible explains it, I do believe he should search for happiness in spirituality not in superficial physical pleasure but from spiritual enlightenment or real love from a real human being. And while I may be inclined to buy him a prostitute once or twice just as I would accept him drinking on occasion, I would never accept prostitution as "the only thing that makes him happy", I wouldn't be able to live with the guilt.
