(12,051 posts)they're lonely because they have few emotional connections to others. Sex, for lots of women, is not primarily an emotional connection, esp if it is with a stranger. If you know that most men can have one-off sex with just about anyone, why would you think sex with a man was some kind of deep connection that would relieve your loneliness and provide a meaningful experience? When for that man it was just a fuck? Well, you wouldn't, and thus women don't look to sex with male prostitutes as any way to make a connection with others.
I think the reason women don't use male prostitutes much is that they don't relieve loneliness or increase a feeling of connection -- in women. They may do so for men, who seem to connect "loneliness" with "no fucking." For women, the totality of a relationship, if it is a good relationship, has much more to do with relieving loneliness and feeling a connection than having sex does. That's why our interactions with our friends, children, neighbors, classmates, etc., are far more important for our feelings of connection than sex ever was.
