To an economist, almost all sex for men bears a 'cost' (an input), the results of which are a utility (output). The utility gained minus the utility spent equates to whether you have ultimately lost or gained.Gaudente wrote:ain't marriage the most expensive form of paying for sex ?
To a financier, perhaps the idea of certain sex being prostitution and other sex not, the idea of someone being a 'prostitute,' could be entertained as the 'cost' as he would consider it would be purely in money (just another commodity, input or utility to the economist).
