This is the thing, really. It's considered fine for a man to lavish a lady with expensive gifts and restaurants and holidays to bribe his way into her knickers, but not when the arrangement is explicit from the start.

And the other thing is that it has been said that in many cases the man is not paying the professional for sex, but paying for her to go away afterwards.
