If there are two groups of people and one group has babies, and the other group doesn’t, how can they be said to be "equal"? What would need to be true for this to be a meaningful statement?

>We know we are empowered because now we can buy men like they buy women.

Hmm. Men can’t “buy women”. A prostitute is not selling “herself”. No property right in her results from the transaction. The customer has no right of exclusive possession, no right to lease, mortage or alienate her person, or any other non-consensual act. In fact, equity will not even recognise a legally enforceable right to personal performance of the contract.

A prostitute is not selling herself, she’s selling a service. It is true that she needs the use of her body to perform the service, but so do doctors, dentists and waiters, but no-one ever says that they are selling “themselves”. Employment is in fact not the same thing as slavery, albeit it sometimes feels that way!

So similarly, women buying the sexual or companionable services of a man aren’t “buying a man”. They are not buying “flesh” – an absurd moral horror and hypocrisy about sexuality that should have ided out with the sex-hating creed of the monks of the dark ages, w@nking into their cassocks.

The reason buying the sexual services of prostitutes is predominantly male is not because women can’t or shouldn’t do it. It’s because they generally don’t want to. The author’s starting proposition is not correct. The sexes are not equal, and one of the main ways they are not equal is that men have far more interest in having casual sex with members of the opposite sex on a few seconds’ acquaintance, whereas women aren’t. There is no female equivalent of the phenomenon of men buying casual sex with women, but if there were, it would be for ‘boyfriend experience’, not casual sex. It would be for a nice man to be kind, gentle, considerate, good-humoured and to give the women a relaxing, stimulating, exciting time, with or even without sex.

The consensuality of these acts provides a complete answer to any moral issue. It is not those who engage in consensual acts who violate any worthwhile ethical norms of sexuality, but those who seek to impose their sexual or moral values on, and to exploit the services of others by the use of force or threats, which includes the use rape, as well as the use of the state for compulsory child support, sole parents’ pensions, anti-discrimination laws intended to violate the human right of freedom of association, and in fact a large part of the platform of political feminism.

Our full humanity is rarely, if ever, realised in any transaction. As a buyer of groceries I have made transactions with many people of both sexes although predominantly female in supermarket checkout counters. In none of those encounters was the full humanity of either participant recognised.

I am happily married. However, I really don't satisfy my wife's full humanity nor does she satisfy mine. As different human beings we have different interests. One simple example is that she watches crime shows on TV, and I don't care for that sort of thing.

Why should full humanity be demanded in a sexual transaction when it is rarely, if ever, realised in other transactions?

Sexually objectify us males all you want,gals, just give it to us. Open up.Lets hear what you have.

I like it.

Man uses female prostitute: Man exploiting woman.
Women uses male prostitute: Man exploiting woman.

I am surprised that their is still a market for paid prostitution. Secularist have got their way and their seems to be no end of 'respectable' girls willing to give themselves away very cheaply indeed.Plenty of men have been willing to dump their wives and kids as they know nothing of commitment. This has led to bucket loads of women desperate enough to take anyone. We have reaped what we have sown by listening to the social engineers who have championed moral relativism. Thankfully the a number of the younger generation are a bit smarter than the engineers as they can see the rotten fruit produced by feminist and emasculated males.
