Prostitutes Quote by Zeb Haradon
““Sex was a lot of things, but it could be analyzed in quasi-economic terms. If women were shamed into traditional marriage-only monogamy and the supply of sex is reduced for men, I guess it made sense that demand would go up for the limited supply that is left, and that meant prostitutes.””
