I tried to find the answer and looked into theses questions on the site
https://buddhism.stackexchange.com/questions/5979/the-third-precept-and-prostitution
https://buddhism.stackexchange.com/questions/9307/buddhist-attitude-towards-prostitution-and-non-procreative-sexual-activity
https://buddhism.stackexchange.com/questions/1367/how-is-sexual-misconduct-explained-in-regards-to-the-five-precepts
But I couldn't find the exact answer. So hope this is not a duplicate.
The explanation I have heard regarding the third precept is for men to avoid having sex with certain types (20 types) of women. So my understanding is that a married man going to a prostitute doesn't break the third precept. Please explain if this is correct or not.
