I think your perception of 'so many' may be a bit off. Don't know of many wives and girlfriends that fall into that category.

You're right if these husbands/boyfriends want to go out and get some strange, so be it.

BTW Not so long ago when I was a HS freshman 'sex' was feeling some boobies. Today my nephew tells me a BJ falls short of the definition. Thank you Bill Clinton in part. I think your perception of 'too many hang ups' may also be off.

Always nice to fall back on the middle ages to make a point.

Eh, I'm a wife and it'll reduce violence against women, legalize it.

Hell, when he had his bachelor's party in Atlantic City, my only request was that they all please tip the strippers well because those women work hard and I didn't want any of them to think I was marrying a cheapskate.

Husbands and boyfriends who want to cheat are generally pretty good about getting it for free, if my (former) friend who spent five years dating a married man is any indication. I met the guy. He was no catch.

There are a lot of guys out there who, for whatever reason, are not able to get any. It is, perhaps, not a bad thing for them to have a legal way to get laid without having to date someone. Seeing as how the Nevada brothels require condoms they might be somewhat limited in freak, but I guess everything's a trade-off.

The problem, as the op-ed points out is that prostitution is one thing and coercion is another and the line between them can be difficult to determine. I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. I agree with you that going after pimps more aggressively than prostitutes would help.

As is the case with surrogacy, especially when completed in foreign countries.

Imagine not only being 'coerced' into sex but being 'coerced' in having a child that will be removed voluntarily or not.

Hence this thread.

We have a whole group of wealthy Americans, mainly white who for some reason decide to use a foreign womb to 'have'/'buy' a baby. Ignoring the 'victim' should not be a reason for as God said "society's perceived benefit."

You want to serve as a surrogate for medical expenses as an 'angel' so be it. For profit you're selling a baby, middle-man, pimp or not.
