  What an interesting but odd article. It seems to flounder at so many seemly obvious questions. >However, it is economically nonsensical for a consumer to buy a commodity in the market if a qualitatively identical ‘product’ is freely available to him in the domestic sphere. Clearly sex with a prostitute is not the same as sex with a lover. How does Marxist thought deal with the pricing of a good like a painting? Are they all worth the time put into them? > if the sexual acts are the same, what is the difference which compels men to pay for sex which they could feasibly access through personal, private relationships? This glaringly ignores transaction costs and availability on demand. If a man only wants sex, there is an enormous cost to obtain it via private relationships.
