You're replying from the point of view of the providers (the prostitutes), but the question I answered was about whether paid attention "was worth it" from the point of view of the clients. It obviously is, otherwise prostitution wouldn't have been so widespread for so long.

Maybe, but "It's worth it" encompasses from "I have lots of choice and can afford it." (Heidi Fleiss clients) to "I have no other means of access so it's this or nothing." (the slum streetcorner)


If you change the topic from prostitution to food, does it make any difference?

You could pay for michelin star quality food, or eat chickpeas. Both will sustain you just fine, but which is "worth it"?
