God Bless the Sex Worker.

82. The article notes mothers seem to think their son's sexual life is important

No mothers had called to help their daughters engage a sex worker.

No fathers had called to help their daughters find a sex worker - although fathers had called for their sons.

Since so many of the initial contacts were made my parents, I think you have to look at the parental attitudes - the assumption that male sexual satisfaction is, for some reason, more important.

Part of the work is simply about touch in a non-clinical way, as well.

Maybe women feel more comfortable making an appt. with a masseuse or masseur.

When women weren't supposed to like sex, they went to doctors, who massaged them to orgasm, so there's a history of sex work among doctors in the west. Then someone invented a smaller vibrator and women were expected to deal with the problem of "congestion" themselves.

But it's entirely within the realm of recent history for women to go to trusted men for orgasms.
