"Dinner and drinks does it for a good many sluts nowadays"
So what do you call the men?
"So what do you call the men?
"
Hah! Good question. Let's see if you get an answer.
If the word "slut" has a female connotation, it shouldn't. I refer to them as sluts as well.
Customers?
Patrons?
Bargain hunters?
I call them "men".
Women have strong biological reasons for being very choosy about their sex partners, while men have strong biological reasons for being indiscriminate. Humans grew so accustomed to seeing that as "the way it ought to be" that they built social mores around it.
Is it fair? No. Is it right? No. Is it natural? Perfectly.
I have strong personal reasons for not lying with prostitutes--Mrs. P. would frown upon it--but I don't see prostitution as morally wrong, nor prostitutes as wicked, and I would not shun them in non-sexual contexts.
