Prostitution is commonly available for men, as are strippers, sex workers of all varieties, but women, not so much (this takes a longer explanation than I have time for, but suffice it to say, it goes far beyond supply and demand as has been suggested) there are magazines, pornography, ads (often enough aimed at women) especially alcohol ads, (I'm waiting to go to a show so I'll make this short). All these things contribute to male sexual entitlement, which in turn contributes to rape culture.
