2025.1.30.20.00 The actual social environment is contrary to any high moral sense in women, because the only difference between the two acts of selling oneself, prostitution and marriage, is the price and the length of the contract. "Whether in marriage or in prostitution, sex is the bait that woman offers to man. Sex represents her bargaining chip. In the case of marriage, the price she offers is a lifetime partnership, or its economic equivalent; in the case of prostitution, the price she accepts, which varies depending on the circumstances, represents in all cases the best she can obtain for a temporary sexual union. The story is very thorough, but it all talks about the past of prostitutes and how they came into being. In fact, it is the same now. Times are changing and people are moving, but there will always be young and beautiful ladies. I can't help it. Unless they really want to cause trouble, young men will have no place to vent their anger and cause chaos. It's still a book you can read.

Demand determines supply. When male genes begin to "trouble", when the most basic requirements for the continuation of civilization begin to exert force, when needs are not solved in a better way than committing evil, some things that everyone "dislikes" (from the perspective of current Chinese social civilization) take root and sprout openly or secretly. As this sentence in the article says, "While the incentive to make money still exists," all the measures it recommends are "unlikely to succeed."

From the perspective of social science/sexology, this book rigorously discusses the definition of prostitution, reviews the dark side of prostitution as a society, along with the history and trends of the development of human civilization, discusses the mainstream values ​​​​and legal policies on prostitution in different historical periods, and clearly and powerfully points out the factors that lead to people's prejudices and stereotypes in traditional propaganda and the social injustice towards prostitutes. It is a good book to expand the historical and social horizons, and put aside the prejudice and ignorance about prostitution.

Some of the ideas in the book reminded me of the people around me. We can't just look at the surface, we must understand the reasons behind it. As Mark Twain said, principles may be challenged in certain circumstances. This book made me think more deeply about social issues.

I learned about areas I didn't know existed!

Be objective and serious, and at the same time answer people's questions to a certain extent.

If there is demand, there will be a market.

It is true and objective, comprehensively explains from history to today, and is worth collecting.

Another great book that subverts concepts and opens your horizons!

🈶Need 🈶? So the question comes, which comes first, need or seek [thinking] [face covering]

Where there is demand, there is supply. If there is money to be made, there will always be someone who will do it.

Is this really the nature of human males?

Any civilization is worth knowing

When reading narrative articles, I feel myself sublimated. Although it was written a century ago, there are some points that you can look at and think about. Learning without thinking is useless.

The author peels away the fig leaf of society in a clear and capable way. The author strips away human nature and shows you the evil and coldness in the world, adding many blind spots in knowledge.

It's super interesting. I took some time to read it. I personally think it's quite interesting and I gained a lot of knowledge.

Learn a lot of knowledge

Thought-provoking and thought-provoking!

Demand first, then provide supply, then scale the market. Universal one-size-fits-all rules for the world.

You can watch it. Increase knowledge

It's quite detailed

It is helpful to understand contemporary gender relations
