If men didn't use hookers, strippers, or escorts, the business wouldn't exist.  If women rejected those professions, they wouldn't exist.  Yet they thrive alongside the culture of friends with benefits, no strings attached sex, and women who seek rich boyfriends.  So, I ask all genders to shift away from the buying and selling of sex, to the gray areas of trading affection, gifts, and slices of your precious time for sex.

Men, have you considered seeking a 'friend with benefits' ?  It takes effort to post a personal ad, but with the time and money spent on an evening of whoring, you could meet an amateur.  After several such evenings, your bound to find someone who wants to fuck regularly, and you might actually enjoy their company.  Casual ongoing sexual relationships with one or two women will be cheaper than visiting hookers.  Yes, you might have to buy them dinner, spring for the occasional abortion, and if you are in a position to, help them out financially, but even so, you will save money.  You can't get arrested for having free sex with women, and you wouldn't support a shady escort service run by a pimp.  Post on craigslist personals, email a couple of girls, and go on from there.

Women, consider this: If you are attractive, need money, and considering sex work, is that crazy of an idea to find a rich boyfriend?  Not all of them are assholes, and as long as you don't let them take dirty photos of you, your reputation will not be damaged.  Not to mention the fact that this is not illegal.  Of course, you might have to date someone old and ugly, who doesn't want to be only with you, but surely one ugly old man is better than a parade of them, and so much the better if you actually like each other.  (Not romantically, but as people.)  Look on craigslist, there are plenty of older men who want to 'pamper' young women.  Screen those guys before you become a hooker, please?
