Your sentiment isn't consistent with the fact that it's the men who pay for sex and women who get paid for sex. This wouldn't happen if the supply and demand in the market were matched.
Edit: I interpret "want" not as "desire" but as "decide to have sex taking everything into account (desire, danger, risk, ...)"
- dragonwriter 11y agoYou seem to be considering only one of the commodities involved in the exchange; if men controlled substantially more money than women, you'd expect exactly the imbalance you refer to, all other things being equal.
- tomp 11y agoIf all men controlled more money than all women, you're right. But if anything, men control more money than women only in average; there are poor men and rich women, but the transactions between them don't happen to the same extent as between poor women and rich men.
