i remember reading Heinlein's Glory Road
(fantasy novel based in earth in the fifties mostly)
the most remarkable thing that struck me in that book is that out of umpteen millions of humanoid parallel universes- ours was the only one to have prostitutes.
okay- i am aware that it's a fictional source, but it made me curious as to why there is a need to have prostitutes.
don't get me wrong. i support prostitution in a general, wishy-washy "as long as it's not hurting anyone" sense.
and i believe that many (not all!) women think of sex as a currency to get the things they want... but why is this so?!
