I didn’t “switch” anything. The op’s question asks directly about women…The details omit men as well. Was the q just flame bait, to man bash?
“Ashamed?” Do I think they “should” be? I think it would vary by situation. Same with the female. For example, I personally would probably exchange sex (from myself) acts for money. Depending on the “trick,” and depending on the payment. I would factor in circumstances as well. Sex for a need, like food, would be judged differently than say sex for new flooring(ethically.) But by my definition of “prostitution,” both parties would have committed that interaction/crime.
Should a man be ashamed if he exchanged money/currency, for sex? I guess so. But they probably feel about the same as the woman does. Both are aware of the details of the interaction, and have clearly already justified it before going through with the arrangement. So. I don’t see why they would change their minds, or behavior later. Men who pay for sex, aren’t viewed in a great light either, by society.
I might chose the word “regret,” over “shame.” A man may regret whatever he lost in exchange. A woman may regret whom she performed the acts on…
My morals are different from others though.
Dutch seems to be omitting the fact that things like “prostitution” also occur between women, and other women.
Think of pretty girls committing sex acts for protection in prison. And don’t say that’s anomalous. It isn’t… Should the female providing protection in exchange for sex acts be “ashamed?”
There are many variables.
A drug might be a “need,” for an addict. One could argue that as the equivalent of food to some.
Lot’s of variables.
