This informative work explores the complex factors that contribute to the existence of prostitution, focusing particularly on societal conditions that foster this phenomenon. It seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic, delving deeply into economic, social, and psychological causes. In the book, Warbasse categorizes the causes of prostitution into various influences, starting with the dual fundamental causes of sexual lust in men and poverty in women. He examines numerous factors affecting both genders, emphasizing the role of inadequate education, societal morals, economic conditions, and the lack of supportive familial environments. Warbasse argues that many women become involved in prostitution not out of choice but due to dire economic circumstances, societal pressures, and the failure of a fragile social structure that often regards women as outcasts for their sexual choices. He ultimately calls upon society to reassess its views on prostitution, recognizing the systemic issues that create these circumstances and advocating for compassion and new approaches to address the problem.
