Prostitution is pervasive in all societies and I believe that all human behavior varies in its motivation since all individuals are unique.

What I find interesting is the individual that is proud of his prostitute patronage. For most men their sex purchase "stays in Las Vegas". Traditional Western culture defines 'hero' masculinity by its ability to attract sexual partners, not purchase them. Even Trump does not brag about paying for sex (though no doubt he does); he brags about his fame giving him access to 'grab'.

I observe that in China, rich men attempt to normalize and achieve status from their extra marital activity by establishing a 小三 mistress relationship, where he believes he has exclusive access, parading her on his arm for public approval.

I'm fascinated when a man believes he has 'accomplished' a feat worth bragging about when he pays for a woman that has had perhaps 20 other partners that month, sitting on the bar stool mumbling to himself, "only the best for me".

That's interesting.
