I understand that but I try to see it from a practical point of view.
It's called the oldest profession for a reason. It's gonna happen and I'd rather make it better for the women.

It's legal in Germany and that means the women at least get a chance to go to the police if they are abused because they didn't commit a crime themselves. They can get health insurance, they pay taxes. It's still a shitty job and you can't convince me that the women are excited to do it but it's a way to make money.

I never dated a guy that told me he payed for sex but I did have a long discussion with a guy about it just a few months ago who did. It was very interesting and I'm happy he trusted me enough to discuss it honestly. I asked a ton of invasive questions.
