Whenever I read literature pre-1960s I kind of amused at how normalized it is for characters to seek out prostitutes.
I was just reading lolita and Humbert has many moments with french streetwalkers in the beginning.
It's almost like they were a normal facet of men's lives back before internet porn and feminism. It's almost like the concept of casual sex with a normal woman was unimaginable
Were brothels really that common back then?

Christian ethics made it so
>>
>>24974349
No.
It's just that a lot of writers were progress degenerates of their time, similar to writers of today.
Like would you call the world depicted in current books a accurate description of reality? I wouldn't.

Prostitution is a lot more common than many people realise right now.

>>24974520
yeah it's pretty common in cities if you go after a while at night lot of women and women types are out there in obvious non obvious ways

>normalized
I think you meant to type "normal".

Outside of marriage? Yes. You can thank the subhuman positivist augurs of the sexual revolution like Bertrand Russel for the mess that we have nowadays on our hands.

>>24974561
Back then people weren't aware of women's hypergamous nature
They were just naive
>>
>>24974349
Yes. It was considered a lesser evil that while not ideal allowed men an outlet for their inevitable lust that didn't compromise the sanctity of good women or the institution of marriage.
The idea of casual sex with 'normal women' was a contradiction in almost a categorical imperative sense, as if it were normalised there would be no 'normal women' by their standards, only whores. If a man was going to have sex, it was better that he did so with an already 'ruined' woman than to ruin a good one.

Protestant ethics, people have casual sex all the time in my catholic country

You're about as "catholic", as Mexicans are Mayans.

There’s probably more prostitution than ever before, dumb thread.
>>
>>24974349
All women are whores. Some are explicit prostitutes. Some are prostitutes by other names: mistresses, girlfriends, wives.
>>
>>24974651
Yes but men were more open about seeking them
>>
>>24975566
Many men talking about watching porn, using OnlyFans, going to strip clubs, joking about red light districts when traveling abroad, etc. You're just in a bubble. I wish I didn't know this though.
>>
>>24975963
Its really all so tiresome
>t. day 300 SR
>>
>>24974349
Yeah it's fucking crazy. You could just go to a bar where the whores sit with you and hang out like normal women, then you get to go in back and fuck them. In a lot of major cities in North America everything has to happen in black market code words where you can't even talk about exchanging sex for money because it's technically.illegal. If you want a clean, professional cunt to use, they ask for hundreds of dollars per hour.

hmm probably is a result of urbanization I bet if you check the history of any city of any historic period you will eventually find some form of prostitution or other forms of sex work
>>
>>24976226
Where does one find them bars friends?
>>
>>24974349
Watching internet porn is equivalent to seeking out prostitutes. And feminism is freeing women from marriage and allowing them to be prostitutes. This is what life is about. And as a man, your goal is to buy as many prostitutes as you can.

>feminism is freeing women from marriage and allowing them to be prostitutes
it's about freeing them to pursue high-paying careers so they can date broke but adorable guys like me
>>
>>24976815
But they're hypergamous they would much rather date wealthier more educated men
>>
>>24974623
this is bait

He's right tho, catholic countries have historically been less sexually prudish. Protestants don't have the confession sacrament.

Yes, very common, consider how much more widespread poverty was, what was the path of least resistance for a starving woman who was also attractive?
Consider also courtesans
Nowadays we are much less lustful too. Imagine in the past when men were not eating much processed slop, weren't pacified by the internet, and engaged in hard physical labour, their libidos would appear demonic to us, the men of past would make us look like sissy faggots
In general, the underworld of the past was much more prevalent. Hell even in the last 50 years you can see how much the underworld has disappeared, what was once a place of freedom away from the constraints of "peaceful civilisationn"
