43. "that ship has sailed"

I'm sure you're disappointed.

I think it's interesting that you admit sex is part and parcel of the human experience. And yet, a lonely man....a virgin at 45....someone suffering from a disability....who simply longs to be touched by woman once in his life....you would likely dismiss as a fat, ugly loser or a pig.

There are many reason a man would visit a prostitute. It's easy for you dismiss all instances as being something out of a seedy Bangkok rape club trip.

As far as the Swedish model, why not counsel the men as well instead of needless, pointless prosecution?

Sure, everything is context dependent. geek tragedy Feb 2013 #8

And the context of Sandra Fluke was Rush Limbaugh implying that sex is bad and evil and people- Warren DeMontague Feb 2013 #9

No, the context was that it was derogatory towards women and a slur. geek tragedy Feb 2013 #10

Yes, the implication was that people shouldn't fuck, they should cover up and pray. Warren DeMontague Feb 2013 #11

No, it's the notion that a woman's sexual identity is fair game for political discourse. geek tragedy Feb 2013 #12
