Yes but that was before the Gutenburg press was invented and that, according to you, threw the gate wide open.

1. I have never experienced transactional sex as a culturally acceptable practice. You might have noticed that the two societies I mentioned as examples are not accessible to tourists without a time machine.

2. I offered more than expierence, I offered a logical argument. You asserted that sex properly requires an emotional interaction. I gave an example of a socially acceptable situation in which one pays for emotional interaction. The logical inference is that it is possible for society to allow emotional interactions to be paid for without making them illegal or taboo. I presented an argument: you simply failed to recognize it.
