Like I said, you are probably right that my perception in this regard is not representative of German society as a whole. However, I consider myself to be male, and I have to object to a blanket statement like
> Prostitution is tied to the nature of the sexuality of men
It's obviously not tied to my nature nor the nature of most men in my social circle. Are we not real men, then? I get that the intent here was probably to express how prostitution is fueled by male desire, but I don't agree with the implication that this is how all men feel.
- wuschel 13y agoYou are right, I should have been more precise. What I meant to say is that prostitution is one way to satisfy the unfulfilled sex drive a man has. I was not talking about feelings, but about a - so to say - intrinsic biological potential to find a mate and copulate. A man will consider the offer of a prostitute on a simple sexual basis if he is attracted to her. It is a biological drive that each individual seeks to have satisfied. If this drive is not satisfied, the stimulus for attraction can be lower. Of course, there is also a strong emotional factor involved, ethical components, fears (e.g. STDs, being caught etc). But I was not referring to that. Please note that I was not trying to picture men as animals - on the contrary, I was just trying to show that male sexual behaviour has strong biological components. As does the sexual behaviour of women. I would like to know what factors are the most important in the rejection of a prostitute's offer, as I think that prostitution it is part of a deep sociological process. It would not surprise me if the hygienic component would be the strongest one.
