Why was Dostoevsky so obsessed with prostitutes?

[Anonymous No.23228495]

Literally in his great novels there is always a prostitute who is the moral compass and the trigger for redemption for the protagonist.

A prostitute or a bartender is a therapist that won't report you to the authorities. The relationship between you and them is very special and people feel like they can open up to both professions.

I suppose it comes through the closeness of sin and grace. Going into immoral areas is often the catalyst for spiritual realisation or redemption.

Prostitutes were pretty common back in his day.

[Anonymous No.23229070]

Because everyone hates prostitutes. Just like everyone hating Jesus for telling the truth and for his ethnicity, nobody would expect a prostitute to have an important role on someone’s spirit. Everyone looks down to prostitutes.

Street prostitution and brothels were much more visible until fairly recently in most cities. If you were an artist or bohemian, you would have been acquainted with whores through the bar and cafe scene.

Same reason he is obsessed with murderers. Each is an archetype of the ultimate sinner for their sex. Both are also Biblical archetypes. The prostitute from Jericho to the prostitute of the Gospels. The murderer from Cain to Judas. The archetypes also show up a lot in church literature on saints

>The prostitute from Jericho to the prostitute of the Gospels.
It's pointed out in the epistle to the Hebrews that Rahab is in Christ's lineage, making the point that her faith that the spies' God was real saved her not just in this life but also her soul.
Also that both Moses and David were murderers, the two of the greatest men to ever live, speaks volumes regarding this archetype as well.
I think reading Romans chapters 3 through 6 sheds a lot of light on this, that revealing mankind's fallen nature highlights the necessity of salvation.

St. Mary of Egypt is the most extreme example of this, she went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem expressly just to fuck as many people as she could. Then when an unseen force stopped her from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulcre, she realized she was an awful person. Then she repented and walked into the desert to live alone with God for the last 5+ decades of her life.

That doesn't fit at all.

Consider Sonya Marmelardov from C&P. She was forced to become a prostitute when she was 14 because her drunkard father kept stealing the family's money and if she hadn't become a prostitute her family would have starved to death. There is no analog to the modern day. None of the onlyfans whores were threatened with death by starvation of their families.

This what I hate about us men. Men hate promiscuity and love chaste women, yet they always get involved with promiscuous women. That is why men suffer. Women don't do this. They hate incels and will never even look at them let alone interact with them. This is not the same as them "hating" chads. Women don't hate chads, they love them. They only say so to keep up the social appearances.

it only looks like prostitution if you're a mark that likes to be fed fake outrage. if you actually want to understand the phenomenon the first observation you must make is that the resemblance to prostitution is superficial, they're not doing it for money, half of them don't even need any because daddy pays for everything. the supposedly shameful exchange of flesh for money is just a cover that makes it, ironically, "okay," it makes it look like displaying yourself online is an understandable, "rational" act of greed/laziness, which are ultimately aspirational vices. they are PRETENDING to be prostitutes because prostitution is easier to swallow for men and for themselves than the truth that they essentially don't exist as people except when observed by a crowd, except IN the crowd's reaction, and that they would be exactly as psychologically compelled to display themselves even if it paid nothing because they are incapable of a private existence, private acts to them "don't count," they dissolve like smoke, as if they never happened.

I will lose my virginity to a prostitute. It sucks but probably the right choice. I am chasing DOPAMINE. Imagine the drunks and the gooning sessions I will have once I unlock the dopamine and oxytocin in my brain only sex can provide. Or even just existing in general, the feeling of cummig inside and touching a woman will linger in my brain forever and I will be enlightened regardless of my circumstances. Oh yeah

Because Dostoevsky is a spiritual millenial. Millenials have this predisposition to be attracted to the gutters of society because they perceive it to be more authentic. The anthem of millenial insight is
>it's pimps and hookers all the way down man!
This is of course wrong because society is built by the middle class and the upper class vultures and lower class parasites and vermin have done nothing positive. It's the same reason they will deride midwits but champion retards because that makes them a topwit by proxy

Prostitution was massively widespread and ubiquitously used in the 19th century. Every European city had armies of the night. There was little to no premarital dating or sex, the sexual outlet of bachelors was to prostitutes. See 'The World of Yesterday' by Zweig for the history. After WW1 social norms loosened and prostitution lessened as dating and pre-marital sex became common.
