Do I really need to spell it out that they're taking advantage of your higher sex drive?

@alyx the same way restaurants take advantage of your hunger. (not much at all.)

@colonelj
You do realize you don't actually need sex to live, right? Really bad comparison. Try again.

@alyx you don't need to go to a restaurant to eat nor does hunger being necessary to live mean it's not taken advantage of within your frame. they're both voluntary exchanges where you know what you're getting.

@colonelj
You're still missing the point, but whatever.

@colonelj @alyx

Is someone seriously getting upset because transactional exchanges exist?

@igel
Doubt Alex likes me too much after the vegan argument.

@alyx thats why I dont do serious discussions here

@alyx about* sorry typo.

@MisterRogersSnapped
1) how many male prostitutes are there?
2) how expensive are they compared to female prostitutes?

Note, I'm talking about sex work in general, so including stuff like porn, cam girls etc. And in these cases at least, we already know that women are the ones that make the vast majority of money. I have no idea how male prostitutes fair, so it's hard to account how they would be included in this.
My intuition tells me they're probably making no where near the same kind of money as the female counterparts, but it's just an intuition.

@alyx in the spirit of not taking the post super serious, I'd say that there is a wage gap there that must be closed. Male prostitutes need to break the glass ceiling... or glass hotel door, as it were. :)

You have a point about on camera stuff though. E-thots make some bank.

@MisterRogersSnapped
The e-thots thing is kinda new, so who knows how that will evolve. Something I keep remembering though, is how in porn men make practically nothing when doing straight porn, and the only time they actually make good money, is when they do gay porn, that is probably also consumed mostly by men (gay men).

The sex industry in general seems uniquely one-sided, and I just think it's interesting, and something work thinking about every once in a while.

I'm not calling for any kind of change or revolution, it's just a food for thought thing.

@Jack
TBH, I was expecting to get more shit for that post than I actually got.

I continue to be dumbfounded how popular my posts with the least thought put into them get.

@alyx
You have to consider the Incel mentality.
Incel believe that women should give out their cooch willing and freely to anyone that asks. So of course they will agree that them charging money for it is exploitation.
