is it the patrician choice? Less time spent on courting women and more time spent writing.

Yes, scratch the physical itch, get it over and done with so you can focus on your art, plus reducing women to a collection of pleasurable holes and not participating in their nonsense frees you up immensely.

this has to be the ultimate cheat code. so much time spent playing games with women that could be avoided if you're willing to shell out a little (which you indirectly do anyway with most women)

Rousseau writes about it in his Confessions, if I remember right he gets kicked out after commenting on the disproportions of prostitiute's breasts. And another time he chickens out himself

>larping as a Parisian author from the early 1900s to justify paying for sex

So you pay to get laid yet you don't write remotely as well as Celine or Henry Miller. Some people would call this a "cope"

All the ones from 19th century (the whores of Paris cried when Victor Hugo died). Going to brothels was viewed as normal. The modern demonization of prostitution and shaming of both parts involved is an American phenomenon that stems from puritanism and then from first-wave feminism.
