Paedophilia used to be commonplace, but we realised consent was a bit important and so stopped trading and marrying off children. Something being historically accepted doesn't mean we have to believe the same today. Times change and people become more informed.

Prostitution is for the most part an enforced occupation, the girls would do anything else but had they a say in the matter. They don't. Their choice, their consent, is removed from the transaction.

What's a poor male FT to do? How about use your hand? I lived in China for two years, I'm not attracted to Chinese men and it wasn't until my second year that I met a guy who I was in relationship with. Being alone does not automatically mean you exploit women who have no choice. It means you become intimately acquainted with you hand. If you lived in England or America and didn't have a gf, you wouldn't be out visiting brothels... You do in China because it's cheap and more readily available without as much risk of prosecution. You exploit these girls because it is convenient for you. Selfish and thoughtless.
