(My view, as I suppose is obvious, is that the BIG LIE is that people are incapable of healthy sexual behavior except in the conventional, i.e. romantic, mode.)

1. Oh, I'm certain of that.
2. The big lies essentially circle around the idea that the men consider the women to be social equals -- or that the men do not view the women as sex objects. I don't believe they do (or, in the second case, don't).
I don't mean to slander you guys, who I don't know personally and whom I like very much insofar as I "know" you as board personas. So let me make a general statement instead.
In my experience (and secondhand experience gleaned from talking to working girls), johns who are "cynical" about prostitution tend to be much more respectful of prostitutes, IRL, than johns who take a more "romantic" view of the industry.
