Actually, whoring in terms of violating your "core values" is extremely common in business. Not talking making canned dolphin meat here, but if you have a core value about providing excellent customer service, but your biz partners don't like the expense... death by a thousand cuts you go.

Consulting is especially like this, if you want to build the best damn thing you can, consulting is usually at odds with that core value. Consulting is as much about placating the client's ego as anything else.

Violating your core values for money will lead to a death-spin of post hoc justification and misery, so it's rarely worth it.

That said, I don't think sleeping with someone for money is a moral question, and the example is indeed misogynistic.
