You're assuming these guys see this as a problem. I suspect for most of them, the power issues are, erotically, the whole point. Why patronize a prostitute for make believe alpha male abuse of one's position when one has the real thing every day?

Plus, if it really is a power thing, then paying for the prostitute immediately screws that up. They're paying, so they know it's not as real as it would be if they didn't.
Maybe if you could pay prostitutes for them as a third party in some way, that could work.
We need the Uber of prostitution!

Because it's a lot less likely to get you in trouble (if we make it a lot less likely to get you in trouble).
Given the frequency with which VCs have gotten in trouble for this before this week, that doesn't seem like an important consideration.
I'm not certain I'm interpreting your comment as you intend. Do you mean that this happens a lot and people have rarely got in trouble for it?
