Sexy Time!

if only i could legally buy pot from the illegal laotian whore i patronize so often...

 

does she love you long time?

I think that you can make the ethical case solely on the distinction between voluntary and coerced activity, ...

 

I would argue that many women are coerced into prostitution and legalization will not change this fact - and not even improve the situation (it could make it worse).

 

That's a possibility, but not one that's equally likely under all regulatory regimes. I think you'd have to consult the statistical record to make a convincing argument one way or another.

 

I think it all comes down to:

 

1)Whether or not there's a moral case for prohibiting things that mentally competent adults do to themselves in private, or that they choose to do to one another in private.

 

2)Whether or not you think it's likely that the coercive apparatus devised to limit one particular variety of behavior that fits the description above will remain confined to the said activities. Personally, someone using heroin concerns me far less than the state's enforcement apparatus seizing their assets because they choose to consume a substance that others don't think is very good for them.

 

You have SO got to be an attorney, aren't you?!

I've never been tied down

[RuMR]

Sex has no time frame.

Really? I heard yours was right around twenty seconds.

tied up, tied down,

up against the wall,

be my rubber-made baby and we can do it all

 

[ivan]

tied up, tied down,

my way - your way - anything goes tonight!

No, but like many, I often dreamed of a career as such as a child. When I wasn't dreaming of being "Credit Analyst" or

other acts of childish whimsy...

speaking of which, who ever dreams of becoming a proctologist?

There is a big difference between "whoring" oneself in the figurative sense and having to risk your life on the streets to survive.

 

And for the record, I think prostitution should be legalized and regulated. This would help protect the safety and the health of all involved.

 

Some of the biggest strides in institutionalizing the health and safety of prostitutes have made by sex-workers unions. Here's a link to one of the largest. Lots of info here.

 

Hopefully the Teamsters will be inspired by their example.

 

Since they are both out to make money by screwing the public.

 

Badump-chink.

 

Thank-you, thank-you very much. Anyone out there? But seriously...

One of the many wonders of "the invisible hand" taking over where other motives would fall fall short of providing the incentives necessary to do the job.

 

From what I hear, the combined effects of an aging populace and a high-fat, low-fiber diet means that these guys are, and will, for the foreseeable future, be - making money hand-over-fist. Or hand-over-probe....

It is as if no one has noticed that when you ask a gal of any age what she wants to be when she grows up, she NEVER says, "a whore".

 

I can't recall any saying "IT professional" or "waitress" either.

Obviously your experience with females is rather limited.

 

Limited to women who are much more accomplished, and who work in jobs that are much more interesting and important than "IT professional?" Yes.

 

 

 

How self-rightous.

Golly, too bad we aren't all "accomplished" enough human beings to be out saving the world. At least we have you to look up to.

[rob]

I'm saving the world.

[Dechristo]

I'm making sweet consensual love to the world.

[Bug]

I'm making sweet consensual love to the world.

I'm buying a raincoat with my REI dividend.

[Dechristo]

Don't worry.

 

I would know your ass from a hole in the ground...probably.

[tvashtarkatena]

I don't see the big deal about prostitution, assuming the prostitute's in charge of the operation. There's nothing 'sad' about it.

 

Some clients don't want the pain in the ass of a relationship; they just want sex. Who can blame them? Particularly if they're in a relationship where that isn't happening to their satisfaction. One look at Spitzer's wife answered any question I might have had about his motivations. Some clients want to fuck people far more attractive than they could hope to nail otherwise. This probably applies to Spitzer as well. Some just wanna feel dirty. Whatever. Is any of this sadder or less moral than the alternatives: no sex life, a string of fucked up relationships, bullshitting someone into an extra marital affair? I don't think so.

 

 

[Dechristo]

You could have made your point without denigrating the woman.

[tvashtarkatena]

Ah, shut the fuck up, you self-absorbed shitbag. If you were any more puffed up and full of yourself you'd rival old Saline Scrotum.

Pretty funny coming from one who quickly makes the charge of "MISOGYNIST!" whenever he can.

[tvashtarkatena]

Hey, did you ever get back on your meds, or are you still working through your 'crisis'?

[tvashtarkatena]

You're the poster child for the Kewler Than Thou Coloradan. Has anyone been able to explain the high concentration of primadonnas in the West's least interesting state?

[Dechristo]

The deflection of one possessed with the objectivity of an eight-year-old...if that advanced.
