One doesn't need to be an 'expert' in order to figure this part out, but not only men who are having problems in their relationship, also those who cannot find one to begin with.

One could argue that without prostitutes, rape may be a bigger problem, but there are still those of us who believe that any man who has to pay a woman to share his bed (or hers) is a complete and utter loser. IMHO
