I've gotta say,that thread was one of the most thought-provoking themes I've seen in a long while.A 21-year old man asks why men would pay money to be with a provider.I can tell you from my "vantage point" of being "older" ,a young guy who is horny assumes young women are equally as horny,and sooner or later should learn the truth.The vast majority of women are not interested in JUST having sex.They prefer "making love" with guys they know well and have feelings for.     A few years back,the now defunct Mustang Ranch floated the idea of a brothel for women,featuring hunky men.It never happened.I read a poll in the newspaper;an overwhelming majority of women said they'd never be caught dead in a male brothel,much less pay a guy for sex.     So that's your answer,there,the average guy has a preoccupation with sex and the average woman doesn't,that's why guys are willing to pay a good amount of money to have relations with an attractive woman.It should seem simple,but some may still not understand.
