Content: These slang terms are used among both prostitutes and law enforcement for persons who solicit prostitutes. The term john may have originated from the frequent customer practice of giving one's name as "John", a common name in English-speaking countries, in an effort to maintain anonymity. In some places, men who drive around red-light districts for the purpose of soliciting prostitutes are also known as kerb crawlers . Motivation
While studies reveal that clients seek out sex with prostitutes to satisfy otherwise unfulfilled sexual desires or simply as a means to establish social bonds with women, evidence suggests that some see purchase of sexual intercourse as purely a consumer product and a means to "reestablish the traditional male dominance over women," turning prostitution into a form of anti-feminism. An analysis from 2005 divides the motivation of clients into five broad categories: the fantasy of “dirty whore”, fuelled by feelings of curiosity and disgust; Another type of sex, where the desire to experience sexuality that is not possible with a steady partner underwrites the act; No other women, believes that due to shyness, fear, age or physical or mental disabilities there are no "no other women for me"; ( see inceldom)
Consumer of sex, wherein sex is a product; Another type of woman, where sex is sought out as an expressions of strong anti-feminist notions, as a reaction to a perceived a loss of masculine supremacy.
