Why did Dostoevsy use prostitutes as the remaining connection to the social world for some of his protagonists (the most isolated and tortured ones) ?
Why the untempting prostitute? Is there a particular meaning attached to this archetype?

Dostoevsky visited prostitutes so probably he was just writing from experience. Also in that time a prostitute couldn’t really “reform” people saw them as too far gone, I’m sure that played a part somehow.

Because Dostoevsky was a misogynist. All his women are either sexless mothers or whores. He couldn't understand women and was incapable of writing them well, unlike Tolstoy or Turgenev

I guess it's meant to show just how isolated those men are, if their remaining social connections are those they have to pay.

You are aware that prostitutes also sell companionship and not just physical sex?

Sex workers often end up being therapists for lonely men who can't open up to their actual friends or families. I've even heard of incidents were the client has just sat and talked about their feelings without actually having sex

The modern man is a truly pitiful creature. No doubt this happens, but it just goes to show how sick our society is, that we conflate emotional intimacy and love with sex. The woman who is being prostituted and raped on a regular basis does not give one shit about her rapists feelings and excuses.

Adds to narcissism I think, though also adds that the character is still masculine to some degree. Needs to be filled, and because they don't want to take on any responsibility they just go with a hooker. Get her, pay her, fuck her, and get rid of her. Nothing changed except the character has a little less money but feels sexually satisfied. Very little long-term gain, though, because there doesn't need to be any emotion with a whore. She's just doing a job. Do you flaunt love and devotion and praise onto the girl in the uniform after she rings in your order at a fast-food joint? Do you personally owe thanks to the person who fried the patty on the grill or the one who assembled the burger in the box? No. You paid. Take the burger, eat it if you want, or even just throw it out or throw it on the roof of the restaurant or generously give it to a homeless person, whatever you want.

Though, well, a narcissist generally won't put much value in generosity I don't think because that's fundamentally a loss. You just gave something away, for nothing, no reason. No gain. It's completely counter-intuitive.

Anyhow, I'm rambling, but that's a thought... admittedly I've never read any Dostoevsky before so there's that.

Do girls enjoy when boys suckle from their breasts? Do they desire to do that for their boys? Or do they do it mainly because the boy likes it? Is there something wrong with a boy desiring to do that on his girlfriend, all the time? Will she let me? Will I be able to sleep while suckling her?

They do, Sir. I've been intimate with a couple of them and both had similar lower-appendage breadth issues. I made the same mistake twice, you may say, but then again, i am fairly ugly and sick and they had their tender smiles directed at me. Smiles that first melted my benevolent and sensual heart and then later my American Express Platinum Card. So, not only do Slavic women have strong feet that can chase you faster than airplanes; but with their eyes they can then melt the platinum beams supporting the cage of your loneliness and your bank account, resulting in a memorable catastrophe, if you allow me to metaphorically surmise in 9/11 terms. But they do have a heart of gold and their hairy pussy is warm and juicy, and you can milk their tender nipples for a lifetime of masturbatory and poetic self-pitying material once you get over the heartbreak and the apocalyptic gonorrhea, dear Sir.

They start milk production sometime during pregnancy and stop lactating a bit after they stop breastfeeding. So they produce for 1 - 2 years usually.

It is possible to induce lactation with stimulation and made easier with hormones.

Males can also lactate with the right hormonal defects or hormone pills.

Sorry but if your shitty life circumstances make prostitution seem a better life choice then you still make that choice of your own free will.
