Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

The demand is created by human beings too inadequate to create natural, mutual relationship(s) to satisfy their needs, and/or masturbate, and/or control a sexual need for a period of time.

I'm unconvinced that sex is the only dynamic.  Somewhere when researching this I found the claim that the 'typical' client is 35-55 years old and has, or has had, a wife or girlfriend.

As a student, I lived on the edge of the red light district, and my own impression was that the typical kerb-crawler is 35, normal looking and in a company car.

I don't think prostitutes are the only option for sex for these men.  Which means that they must be paying for something else.

I agree about the dynamic and I sense "power, control, etc" has a lot to do with it, which makes it violence to me.  When sex becomes a commodity, or a convenience, it is truly de-meaning its value and the parties are not equals.

You are right also about the options and I was implying more-than-one-relationship possibilities, as long as it´s personal and not business.  The consequences are not ideal either, but at least it is social.
