Now that I think of it, how is traditional dating more socially acceptable than prostitution?
If you think about it, sex is the highest level you can achieve in a relationship. I know, what about love...let's just say it's not always guaranteed in a dating situation. There is no promise that going out to dinner and a movie will add up to that yearning feeling in your heart. But should you ride the wave of a relationship through, you will eventually have sex. Even if you're a goody two-shoes who waits until marriage, you still have another step until you get to the top of the pyramid. If you're lucky, love might happen on the way, but otherwise most people won't end a fling until they have given their new partner a test-drive.
Either way, a prostitute gets paid top dollar for fulfilling a persons 'needs,' and dating someone means waiting on them hand and foot ultimately for the same thing. A lot of escorts have the same deal set up. It's as simple as "take me to dinner, pay me $500 and I'm yours for the night." So if you're a slut and you agree to a date, you could very well be saying "take me to dinner and I'm yours for the night." And then you're just out $500. Or if you're into commitment, you could be saying "give this relationship a title and invest some time, always treat me right, then take me to dinner and I'm yours for the night." In which case you're more of a 'sugar baby' prostitute.
And if you're waiting until marriage, you're just waiting for the highest bid. For instance, "this guy says he will love me forever, he offered me a huge ass diamond ring, and he has been spending money on me for a year now (read dating). He totally beats out the guy who only spent money on me for three months." In this case, a wedding is just another way to purchase you. No way getting around it. And you're probably worth more to him because you're a virgin. Which explains his willingness to wait for you.
Think about it. At the end of the day, all we can be is a bunch of whores. And Modern Society only serves as the invite to a masquerade.
