You can't buy an emotion from someone else. You can pay someone to
perform certain things or to outwardly express an emotion, but you
cannot actually possess the emotion that he experiences. You can only
perceive someone else's represenations and react to them yourself. You
are paying for your own experience. Emotions are nontransferrable.

lets take emotion for example.
you can get an emotion from someone for free. it is completely
intangible, and comes without restriction. you cant share the given
emotion with another, but i guess you could say its yours.
now, what is it called when you pay for an emotion?
why, i think thats called prostitution. and you pay for it.
