What is your theory about the "oldest profession" relative to the providers being female. In other words SW are in the majority female. So, what are your thoughts on why males don't go into this SW? Is it because of lack of demand from women or from other men? I am curious to know what you think about this...
testosterone
not to sound like i am generalizing the sexs... but the question kind of refers to it..
for starters, in the past it was the mans place to work and there was no place for women in the labor force, it was her job to man the house while the man worked... but not all women were married.. and if a girl was devirginized before marriage she was a ruined woman.. if she was deemed unfit to be a wife because she was tainted, she often didn't have a husband, in some cases it would be up to her parents or brothers to support her.. and if there was nobody, often the only way she was able to make money to survive was to sell sex, because the very men who would refuse to marry her because she was tainted were willing to pay to spend time with her.. or she was sold into it by her family because they couldn't support her.
on to todays world.. men are still more than willing to pay for the time with a woman and not have to actually have a relationship with her.. they seem to have a need to explore and test the waters they can get.. dating can be hard, and many men just don't have the time between work and other life and family responsibilities. paying for it becomes an easy way to satisfy a need...
as for women paying for it... not too often.. sure there may be special occasions in a lifetime that she will make the call... but sex itself often goes on the backburner... besides most dating encounters women's pleasure isn't the goal he cares often for his own ejaculation and there is still a large number of women who have never had an orgasm to know what they are missing out on because the time wasn't put into them.. why waist the money if you don't think you are capable of the orgasm... so you can see another man reach climax while you are left unsatisfied.
and then there's the point my master brought up to me... even an unattractive woman can walk into a bar and likely just announce she is horney and someone will take her up on the offer... not to sound jaded, but there's always someone who is just happy to have a warm willing hole present itself regardless how she looks.
the clientele for male escorts is majority other men... there are women clients I'm sure.. but the percentage of women looking next to the percentage of men is just a really big difference.. it just comes down to supply and demand..
