> [Aquinas] notes that the state should allow fornication and prostitution to exist for the sake of the common good. Relying on the well-known passage from Augustine’s De ordine, Aquinas advocates tolerance of prostitution by noting: “Accordingly in human government also, those who are in authority rightly tolerate certain evils, lest certain goods be lost, or certain evils be incurred: thus Augustine says [De ordine 2.4]: ‘If you do away with harlots, the world will be convulsed with lust.’” If these social practices were to be suppressed, the public reaction might be such as to threaten the peace of society.

Granted, I would also like to mention I find prostitution to be cringe, but criminalization probably adds to the cringe.
 
I don't understand for example why some MGTOWs advocate for people to see "escorts". Like, keep the hard earned money. Don't feed the egos of such women or simp for them and feminism. Of course the activity is sinful and I oppose it for that reason. And I understand some here are anti-MGTOW, I think MGTOW has its good and bad - some of them are kind of like feminists, others are basically just recognizing relationships are a mess today and good luck navigating many of the pitfalls involved in trying to have a decent relationship.

I think MGTOW came from men realising that many women these days have much less value, and that there are way too many whores.
 
We simply must stop rewarding whorish behavior. Stop paying attention to women who act like whores; online or off. They do it online I feel, because it is basically unlimited attention; dopamine and such.

mgtow is coming about for a lot of reasons, like a lot of mgtow are divorced guys who are not "remarrying", or guys that know these guys, or guys burned by "toxic" relationships, etc.
 
plus with ivorce stats and the state of the economy it can be hard to afford a family, etc.
