Brothels are legal in Nevada, so you can get some there for cheap.And please , spare us the "I will legally be able to pay a professional for their company for a few hours", You just want to fuck, say it. > I like to think that we have the right to be "loved" and cared for, even if fictitiously and for a very brief moment. There is no "love" or "care" in prostitution, only sex for money.The only thing a prostitute loves is your money. But that's ok. Just don't romanticize it. It's creepy but I bet you like it that way.

To be fair, a lot of marriages and exclusive relationships are also predominantly about the money, or the social status, or the social pressure, things that also have nothing to do with 'love,' yet they also get 'romanticized' as you say. I'm not defending prostitution, I just think it's arrogant when people imply what a 'normal', or 'legitimate' relationship is.

"I will legally be able to pay a professional for their company for a few hours", You just want to fuck, say it. In any human interaction, in many cultural contexts, it is very possible to be too businesslike and leave the other participants feeling awkward or even a bit abused. This is especially true in any service oriented businesses. Given the nature of the business of prostitution, I would expect this to be especially true there. I would expect that intelligent and sensitive customers would be more sensitive in this way. I would also expect that the higher paid practitioners of the business would tend to have higher emotional intelligence, and would also be smart enough to arrange their lives to mostly deal with people they mostly like. I would also posit, that in any situation where one is paying for someone's time, one should modify the expectation of "true friendship" in such a relationship to take the economic relationship into account. But let's take your admonition and apply it to the cafe, and see what we get: There is no "love" or "care" in the cafe, only coffee for money. The only thing a barista loves is your money. But that's ok. Just don't romanticize it. Does that sound strange? Yes it does. There is a certain vehemence that just doesn't apply to coffee, but which does apply to sex. (1) That's kind of weird. Why is it ok to be warm, friendly, and chatty with your barista, but not with a prostitute? I should think it would be creepier to be absolutely mechanical about it. It's creepy but I bet you like it that way. Actually, this line sounds emotionally abusive and therefore creepy. Much creepier than anything in the gp comment. (1 - Most of the time. There was this one time I asked for a decaf at Blue Bottle. Yeah I know, but I was already pretty wired.)
