      Why is women who are semen receptacles & not men who are dehumanised service providers? Women enjoy sex too, you know? Maybe you don't. :-/

      Because of the divergence of regret. There's sth deeply sad (not pathetic) in offering sex for love, more so than in offering sex for money.

      But this isn't a female thing. It's men who are more needy in this regard. Women are usually more choosy & happier to stay single.

      Women regret casual sex more. And sex and romance appear to be more strongly intertwined, for them. Needy = sex drive?

      I doubt this, tbh. I think women more often need there to be a romantic/love connection before sex but it's men who have trouble separating.

      Does this explain "he doesn't call", "I feel used", etc.?

      I've heard men say the exact same thing. Hell there are even rock songs dedicated to this exact problem.

      There's also this. Anyone who's ever talked to sex-workers know how many clients are really seeking affection. http://lasvegas.cbslocal.com/2012/08/15/study-men-paying-for-sex-from-prostitute-looking-for-true-love/ …

      This is a reason why it's so important that sex workers not be stopped by govt. Some men have no other route to affection, sex.

      Why isn't there a market for men who want a sensitive female soul to talk to, then? Surely there are women who'd do it for cheaper than sex

      Probably because men don't say they want emotional connection and tender touch. Much evidence they do tho.

          In fairness, it's hard to "fake" emotional connection. Men don't really care if the orgasm is faked

          Not so much when with a prostitute. But I agree that sexual prowess (including making her come) matters to men.

          Yes but I don't think its so selfish either. I know some feminists claim it is.http://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/a9169991/why-guys-love-female-orgasms/ …

          Oh, now you want us to talk past each other in matters of altruism. Must be motivated by wanting to add a cat picture.

          Not yet. Enjoying her enjoyment. Enjoying causing it. Selfless, altruistic? Likely a tired matter. Just add a cat picture, Helen.

          That'd be a rather large market failure. - I think Japan has some such commercial care girls. Further, worth comparing to escorts.

          2 There's prbly some bias (not pejorative) against commodifying affection. More steadfast than that agst commodification of sex? Doubtful.

          3 To balance all the economic and evolutionary talk, I do want emotional connection and tender touch (great alliteration).
