THE CONSEQUENCES OF TRANSACTIONAL SEX.
For the woman, the danger isn’t in the one-time act, but in how quickly the brain readapts to see the body as a tool for making money.

You begin to skip the hard things—building, learning, failing, starting again—because why suffer when you can just offer your body for money?
And you’ll think it’s power until one day, nobody looks anymore.
And you’ll think it’s power until one day, nobody looks anymore.
Slowly at first, then with shocking speed. Your calls get fewer responses. The offers begin to thin. The men who once lined up now scroll past. And because your entire value was built on "men desiring your body by paying for it", you have no fallback, no self. Just silence.
But worse than the external silence is the internal rot; the erosion of self-worth that comes from years of reducing your sacredness and value to a transaction.
You no longer feel beautiful unless someone pays to confirm it. You no longer feel wanted unless someone proves it with cash. You no longer feel valuable unless you are being consumed. You become a product past its expiry date...
...watching younger girls replace you at the table you once ruled.
The consequence of this internal rot on marriage is that it makes it difficult to have a successful marriage, because your brain is already used to many men paying for your body in order to feel valuable.

But suddenly, no one is paying for it.
Meaning you no longer feel beautiful unless many men pay to confirm it. You no longer feel wanted unless someone proves it with cash. You no longer feel valuable unless you are being consumed by different men.

Because that is what you have been used to.
Making it difficult to stick to only your husband because his validation is not enough compared to what your brain is used to, which is the "validation of other men".
