It's gonna sound weird and maybe a little offensive, but I was actually relieved when the scene opened to the "den of iniquity." I need to do a ton of reading on the subject before my thoughts coalesce on the feminist side of prostitution vs the very compelling reasons you cite to be against it. However, when Dean told Castiel they were going out to get Cas laid, and I imagined how that could go, I was very nervous they'd go hit up a woman in a bar who wasn't a prostitute. That possibility, to me, would have been exploitative and shallow, by dint of Dean and Cas having to play it a little deceptive in order to get what they want. The lounge they wind up in, where everybody is on the same wavelength, actually seemed like a more appropriate choice, since there was no deception or manipulation going on. So despite the way this kind of was a little fail-y, I think it could have been worse and am glad it wasn't.

Hope that made sense. :)
