Compensation
I just watched an TV show yesterday called High End Prostitution. It was a show detailing the practices of an exclusive call girl business where its clients include top professionals such as lawyers, doctors, and businessmen.
I’d imagine that how these very successful men were raised had a lot to do with their seeking out of women at this stage of their lives. In the show, it mentioned that a lot of men weren’t paying just for sex, but also for a confidante— a stranger to reveal their secrets to — as well as a break from the stress they encounter. The narrator of the show likened it to “mini-vacations.”
I wonder if these men were unsuccessful with women in their early lives. Perhaps they were the studious type, the unpopular but top students in the class. Maybe they never really got a chance to experience things and now that they get a chance to since they are finally successful and wealthy. Perhaps they didn’t choose their wives but rather just accepted whoever was nice enough to come to them, which may lead to an unsatisfied marriage, and a desire to search for more. If this is true, then I feel it’s important for parents to also stress developing social skills while people are young.
