Does Prostitution Exploit Men?

Inequality I'm really just posing a question here which I hope you'll read. But ask yourself, is it the "payee" or the "payer" that comes out on top? Check it out here. As always feel free to pass it around for discussion. Enjoy!

Does Prostitution Exploit Men?

Key word "satisfaction". There are allegedly over 280 million porn sites on the internet. Brothels from here to kingdom come, strippers times two, massage parlours, street walkers, escorts, video shops, tittie bars, and college. Just to name a few. Now I'm only half kidding about college but the double standards are evident even on a simple night out.

Even disputes over "Ladies Night" abound. The usual arguement from men's activists opponets is that "Ladies Night" is for guys. It is not. It is for the establishment, so let's keep focused here. Ladies night envites women to get in early or for free or whatever in the marketing genius that *men* will show up and buy loads of beer. It's all money that goes to the establishment. Women will take up this offer perhaps realizing , perhaps not, that the said establishment is using women as bait. Women don't really drink much anyways. Societal norms still have men buying drinks for women to get to know them. These are not things I have a problem with particularly, nobody twisted your arm to buy the hottie a drink, accept perhaps your little friend. In the long run these are things that hold women back in the scheme of things and they always will. Perhaps that's for another debate. What I will point out here is that *both* sexes are being exploited. Both for sex, one for money. (Hmmm kind of reminds me of divorce court.)

People have urges. Men do. Women do too. In fact if you've ever seen a woman in heat you will see just how much her urges take her. A dramatic scenario is watching a female cat in heat. It's pretty extreme. Women aren't to far off, but men, usually, in their younger and more un-experienced days don't realize the significance of this. Oddly, women in their later years are more often the initiators of sex while men the not so interested. This could be why the new cougar craze is fitting in. You know "cougar", it's an older women with a younger man. Think Demi and Ashton, but subtract the blatent publicity stunt of the whole thing.

Does anyone have any idea how much a woman can earn in the sex industry? Basically the sky is the limit given her "talent". But what does a woman provide? Nothing. Is the woman being "exploited"? Not necessarily. Is the man? Yes he is. However, many women are "shipped" (or so we are led to believe) in what is termed the "white slavery trade", and yes, that is exploitation at it's absolute worse. Poor families sell either their sons or daughters for pennies in backroom "romps", and yes, that is the worst kind of exploitation. I'd like to stop it, who wouldn't. But, let's talk about "Claudia" that works the 'Red Light District' in Amsterdam. Is she being exploited? No! She is unbelievably gorgeous. I mean fucking solid top to toe and you won't believe me until you see her with your own eyes. Now, Claudia charges as much as she can. Perhaps $200 American for 15 to 20 minutes and the next guy is in. Keep in mind that the district is rich with tourists and for a girl this hot 20 men is not unusual in one night. Hmmm $4000 American in one night, not bad work and some would say she earned every penny. But was she really exploited? Is her position in life because of her gender exploitation? Give me a frikin break, dude.

There are all kinds of jobs for her to take on. None of which pay that kind of money. What she made in one night could cover many people's tuition for a year. We could argue that they are both being exploited. Very few stand for the idea that *he* is the one being exploited. My stance gets pretty weak when it comes to personal choice. (He has free will right?) But the thing is a woman like Claudia knows that she can cash in on this biological function. This necessity of life. So as it is claimed the first industry was formed. Supply and demand. Sex for goods. (Perhaps another day I will explain why I think it was actually nursing that was the first real proffession for women. Until then.)

Our bodies were formed to biologically reproduce it's that simple. But women like Betty Friedan claim that marriage is an institute of class hiearchy, where sex is a commodity that needs to be seized in the market place. To be witheld until further notice, in ideological terms. And don't even get me started on Catherine MacKinnon, who also has made a class war out of sex extend into the work place, creating a Stalin like state of fear and reportiveness. Either way you look at it, it's about a transfer of wealth in the name of s-e-x. Guess who pays?

If women have a "biological clock" than so do men, I say and prostitution is something that exploits that. We could throw rocks all day long trying to figure out who is really responsible for it, but with women like Claudia, tall, blonde, built, she knew it was easier to lie on her back than it was to go about it the hard way. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not here to preach conservative values and point to the greatness of "marriage", cause quite frankly, in this day and age, prostitution is might really be the safest sex going for many men.

I was for prostitution, I was against prostition and now I'm both for and against prostitution. I'm for it because it's not up to me what two consenting adults do. I'm against it, because my experience with it is that nobody really comes away fullfilled. The women are damaged goods and the men are no better off. It's a coldness that might never be warmed again. Call me a romantic.

However, in the end, women are not exploited solely because they prostitute themselves out for money, it is the men who are exploited. They do the jobs that are either high risk or of great physical strain. It is their labour and toil that does not measure up to the time in exchange for sex. And men usually by necessity have to do it. Sex should not be a commodity bought for and traded with, sex should be something shared for and cultivated with two people in my thinking. But if that's not your bag, and you want to see the wonderful world of prostitution and all that comes with it, don't think for a moment because she's lying on her back that she is the one being exploited, because it's bullshit. Feminists have merely *claimed exploitation* with out backing it up. Repeating it over and over again until people accepted it as truth. Much like I did here with my view. In the end it is something that exploits itself for either way. Natures curse and blessing on us. It doesn't mean we have to stop making the claim that prostitution actually exploits men, nor do we have to thank bars for having ladies night, because neither one is for men, they are both exploiting men when it comes right down to it.

I have always wondered how a woman has the right to terminate the viability of an unborn fetus - as a "personal right" to her body, yet a woman does not have the right to use her vagina to make money? Does the idea "keep your laws off my body" not apply here?

Another point I would like to make that people probably do not think about. Prostitution is illegal. This means that the right to offer physical enjoyment to someone’s genitals for money is illegal. Yet, there is a sub-genre within the sex industry where people pay a dominatrix money to abuse their bodies and even perhaps their genitals, yet this is legal.

So our government allows someone to pay to have pain inflicted on them, and does not allow someone to pay and have pleasure bestowed upon them.

I think keeping prostitution illegal empowers women - as many (not all) men supplicate themselves for sex. Having sex available for men without all the “strings attached” could be a good thing.

Think about it.

"(He has free will right?) "

Does he?

Here is my take on the whole "sex industry":

#1. Men have a biological need to seek a mate and reproduce (i.e. have sex).
#2. Society enforces this upon their males. As they grow older, males are constantly told by the media, friends, relatives, co-workers, etc that they "must get a girlfriend". Males are constantly told how great and wonderful sex with a woman is. Males are programmed to either obtain a female companion or obtain the means that will land them a female companion (e.g. a good job, nice clothes, a fast car, etc). Males are frequently berated and taunted for NOT having relations with women.
#3. The media expands on this by constantly reminding men that their goal is to have sex with a woman (e.g. "sex sells"). Advertisements and movies constantly portray that men should be having some form of contact, especially physical contact, with a woman.
#4 Female beauty and desirability is constantly advertised. Everywhere. Point being made: "Look at this young, hot sexy, soft woman. You WANT to be with her. You WANT to make love to her."
#5. Males are never taught to NOT make a female companion a priority. No one ever seems to dissuade a male away from sex with a woman (I am not talking about becoming homosexual, I just mean trying to convince a male that sex with a woman should NOT be the be all and end all of life).
#6. Society prevents access to sex through artifical means. Although there are many adult stores that sell sexual devices, actually admitting to using a fake vagina or an inflatable doll is a big taboo. Men can be ridiculed and berated for using "artifical" means. Some countries or religions purposely restrict acts like masturation. This makes sex with a woman an only option.
#7. Male homosexuality is extremely taboo. Although male homosexuality is "tolerated" at best, it is punishable by physical beatings or even death at worst. Society tries to make sure that males *remain* heterosexual, making sex with a woman an only option. Even something like physical contact through hugging, holding hands, dancing or putting your arms around someone is taboo for males to do this with each other, so they have to go to a woman.
#8. The Sexual Harrassment Industry has developed to the point will women have absolute control over sex. If you dont like it, you are a rapist, molestor, pervert, weirdo, or whatever. Women can place demands because they have the supply.

Women are allowed to go to each other for emotional or physical support. If a man does not have a spouse, a female friend or even a sympathetic sister, he has no one to go to. He could "pay" to get comfort from a female prostitute.
Women can ask for whatever they want for sex since males have been programmed to seek sex with a woman, have little or no options or alternatives. Yes! That is what I call extortion.
How can a woman who voluntarily joins the sex industry be considered exploited when *she* is the one that profits and the man walks away with less money?

Prostitution is a contract for sexual services.
Exploitation exists when no true contract, within the norms of recognized contract law, exists.
Thus, it clearly appears to me that the legalization of prostitution such that the norms of contract law are applied would reduce rather than promote exploitation of both men and women.
As such, the "freedom to contract" with regard to the same would be basic to commonly accepted norms of human rights and liberties and promote human dignity,happiness, and welfare.

I'm not sure that contract is a necessary or sufficient condition for the absence of exploitation.

Contracts, other than as the legal fiction the "implied contract", do not exist in most economic transactions. I go to the fruit market and buy a bag of apples. I give Kon the Greek the money and he hands me the apples -- no contract there. Most low value transactions happen this way. Now Kon might be exploiting me... maybe his scales are queer... or I might be exploiting him somehow, but this has nothing to do with the absence of a formal contract.

Those who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like.

Sounds like a version of "men as victims" to me. Women maintain great power over men in this culture by sexually suppressing us. Once men can generally have sex when they want, women will have to behave better in relationships. Since all women expect payment for sex, I can't see why direct payment is illegal. Just zone it like in Europe.

By the way, a window girl in Amsterdam charges 35 to 50 Euro for 15 to 20 minutes. They have to pay rent per half day, probably 100 Euros. Girls rarely have guys lined up back to back. They might clear 100 on a slow day, 500 on a good day.

I lived in Amsterdam for two years. Each girl is different, and I was there were guildens were still used. However, Claudia is a real girl and was a ten of Pam Anderson any day. She was charging over 350 guildens and getting it. So were a couple of others. By all rights Claudia was a freak of nature.

I don't know about Claudia, but the top window girl for the past five years has been "Nina" on Trompettersteeg. She is the superstar. Before the Euro, the price was 200 guilders for 30 minutes, 400 for a full hour. In dollars that was about $180 per hour, not 15 minutes. Current rate is 100 Euro per 30 minutes, or about $115, or $230 per hour.

I only bring this up because your point seemed to be that men are exploited because prostitutes charge such high rates. So if the rates are not high, are you saying that men are not exploited?

I'm saying if inexpensive sex is available, men will not have to put up with being strung along by women who want to date for months while they make up their minds if they want to get involved.

That must be why European women are not teases like American women. They can't get away with it.

Not necessarily. I'm glad you pointed it out, but my query was also a direct assault on the fact that women are definately not exploited given their choice. Many will tell you this themselves. Men are exploited even if they have to spend a dime. In this age of birth control and option, women are getting sex plus being paid for it, without any extra risk to themselves. Men have to sacrifice.

If women do indeed *need* sex as much as men do, what IS it about sex that makes men need it bad enough that they WILL pay for it and go to (legally) dangerous extremes to get it, while women can just lay back (literally) and wait for the sex AND money to roll in?

On a large scale? I would say it's a form of masturbation. Men are willing to give away a great deal of their earnings for sex. Possibly for the reasons mentioned in one poster's list. Self Respect is one. When you rely on a method that is successful it often becomes the only way to achieve it.

It works for women this same way. They have needs and wants, when their needs, such as food, shelter, clothing are obtained by laying on their backs it begins as all they know.

I enjoyed and agreed with this piece except for the comment that "the men are no better off" after being with a prostitute. Alot of times men are indeed better off and find it worthwhile. Many of them return to a prostitute they like, sometimes waiting months before returning (not as though it's a sudden addiction). I know a disabled man in New York who has Celiac disease, which makes him physically undesireable. He has a regular sex worker he goes to and he's very happy and satisfied with her. He feels strongly that he never would have had sex without a sex worker. In any case he is certainly better off with one around. I'm not saying there's no element of exploitation in the industry. But overall men are better off with the choice of having sex workers around than they are without that choice. And everyone is better off when the sex workers can operate in a clean, safe, and even unionized workforce instead of being shoved into dangerous and unclean underground conditions.

While the services provided by a prostitute involve far more than, say, those of a TV repairman, and also bring with them a number of risks of emotional and disease-related exposure, the business side of it remains. As long as both parties agree to the price/services exchange, no one is being exploited. If one party or the other is compelled to offer more in services or pay an unreasonably high price, then there is exploitation.

One could make the argument that, because prostitution is generally illegal, then men are exploited. However, there seems to be enough sex being offered through more obscure exchanges so that men still have the ability to properly bargain in the exchange.

One thing drives this: Women also have a sex drive. And with the advent of such a large variety of birth control methods (virtually all being marketed to women), men are getting their needs met.

The feminists are accusing the pornographers and prostitutes, and men in general, of "exploiting women" for one simple reason: they do not believe they are getting enough money for their services. Raise the price, and I'm sure the complaint will go away. But there is no way to regulate that without making prostitution legal and then enforcing price supports (similar to the price supports that drive the price of milk).

The same thing applies to pornography: additional regulation will be required to artifically force the price upward. And as is quite easily demonstrated with a quick examination of the Internet, there seems to be a large enough number of women willing to take their clothes off in front of a camera whereby this will be impossible.

Part of the problem with this, Jen, would be the amount of time that would need to be dedicated to moderating. The passionate among us will always show up and occasionally share something that others might recoil from. Those things will need to be moderated actively. The regulars might, for the most part, be relied on to take the more inflammatory messages to the private area. Even so, active moderation is labor-intensive, so given that this is a volunteer-run site, it would be difficult to achieve reliably.

I don't get a vote in how to design the site, but even so, I'm not sure I would recommend changes. For a newbie, the main page allows access first to the news articles and essays that are submitted.

Remember, the people who come here, so long as they actually *read* the postings, will see that there is a wide range of opinion -- some moderate, some not.

That being said, I agree that there is a need for a place where folks who are just starting on the road to enlightenment can get the 'gentle introduction' to the issues that concern us. This board, however, is not that place.

If you feel the need for an alternate, more moderate place, then go create one (you may find people here who would help you). Don't take the one that already exists and try to change it into the one you want.

With all due respect, Jen (and I do have considerable respect for you and your postings), your approach is very much what we see all to often as a 'girl' one: that is, move in on what the boys have created, make them change it to suit *you*, and then tell them they're welcome to go be boys somewhere else.

I happen to like Gonzo's postings. They're inspiring, irreverent, and often very funny, in a no-bullshit, take-no-prisoners kind of way. They also speak unvarnished truth. This place would be poorer without them.

Ragtime,
      Ok I see what you are saying. I see where you are coming from. Personally I like Gonzo's posts ... lol .. A LOT. I think he is unashamedly up front with everything he says. He's honest and there is no duplicity in what he says. I even E-mailed him to find out if he and I could converse. Gonzo, if you read this, please don't take what I said wrong. You are very outspoken and were a good example. Don't change a thing bro. =)
          I would agree with Jen. I don't think she is trying to 'girl' us up. This board is a living extension of it's members and we can even agree to disagree. But, ya know, that's a lot better than not being honest with each other. I am stating only MY opinion on this, and others will diagree. Again, cool. I am just asking for all of us to consider that when we post here we reflect on not only our group, but Men's Acitism (both capitalized and not). Am I angry at some of the S%*T the Feminazi's do? Fuck guys I was falsely accused of rape at in the mid '90's. Blew holes in my life. Took me more than 1/2 a decade to recover. I will NEVER have a college degree, I WAS going to be an airline pilot, but am now stuck at being an economic second hand citizen. I am doing well NOW. But its been a freaking decade. I lost 10 years of "progress" in my life. So, you will se **ME** rant on subjects too. Please dont, sincerely please, dont think am for one instant being 'holier than thou'. Trust me, aint in me. We in the men's movement pride ourselves on not being like the shrill, lying, and gender-hating Feminazis. I think that is something to build on. Thanks for taking the time to hear me out on this.
      And once again, Gonzo, don't change a thing bro. =)

Been a long time since I wrote a novella for here. Let's hope it doesn't get too long.

One thing I am just fucking sick to death of is having to mince words and "couch in terms" for fear of offending feminine sensibilities. I do it all day long to keep a job. Tiresome and tedious doesn't even begin to describe it. Where I can tell a man "You're fucking break is over, get your ass back on the line" the mere mention of the words "fuck" and "ass" will have me up on charges of soliciting anal sex from a woman. So I make "suggestions" - and promptly scurry to my office to document the offense.

Yeah, I could fire any woman who work for me on a whim, and they'd never collect unemployment.

So, do I hate women? For the umpteenth time, no. By and large I mistrust women in general, a mistrust that isn't unjustified. As a gender they weil considerable power tht they will never be called to account for using in a legal sense. Anyone who insists that men do too is plain fucking living in a dream world. I loathe feminists, and despise femboys.

I won't mince words though. I'll go away. Without argument or protest for that matter. The internet is a fucking huge place.

So how much of my attitude is real?

Heh. Enough to keep them honest.

By and large, I wouldn't mind a return to the days of chivalry, and men being men, and women being damn thankful they are. I've resigned myself that except in isolated meleius, it ain't going to happen in my lifetime. But I can sure as hell make women aware of all they have lost - AND URGE MY BROTHERS TO MAKE THEM PAY THAT PRICE DAILY. At least until they wake up and realize that the dykes and manhaters at the NOW have been selling them a bill of goods for years upon years.

It used to be that men had a place to go to. A men's club. The lodge. The garage. The barber shop. Seen one of them lately? Oh yeah, all manner of coed and women's areas, but no place - not a fuckin' one! - where men can be men and speak like men, and speak as men in the company of other men. All from the sublime to the ridiculous. Now, discuss philosophy, and you're patriarchal. Speak on faith and morals and you're an intolerant oppressor. Tell a blone joke and you're a harasser. Tell a cunt joke and you're a rapist.

I have two words for all of it:

BLOW ME.

I've done my time in marriage hell. I have served my country, raised the next generation, and I will be DAMNED, now that I am beyond the reach of the goddamn, motherfucking fascist family court if I am going to be silent. I will call them fucking Nazis, and the women who use them useless parasites and a blight on humanity, and a waste of good oxygen - and if not for the fact that their kids were fathered by a MALE - and many may be males themselves - I'd as soon see the whole sorry lot of them starving under a bridge as lift one finger, drop one dime, or waste one second in concern and "caring."

Worthless. Utterly fucking worthless. A complete waste. I wouldn't even spend the time to cross the street and fucking PISS on a single welfare mother if she was on fire.

If anyone don't like it - well, I'll happily refund the money you spent on my opinion. Drop me a line with your son-of-a-bitching PayPal account number, and I'll return every penny.

You know, we, as Men, have been browbeaten into swallowing anger and rage. That's fucking pure and unadulterated bullshit. I'm mad as hell. I'm mad as hell I was suckered into marriage by a woman who only wanted me for a breeder. I'm mad as hell I was taken to the cleaners. I'm mad as hell I spent a fortune over a dozen years just to be a titular father. I'm mad as hell I went to jail twice - FUCKING TWICE - over non-existant arrearages, just because the ex-wife said it, and nobody checked on it before they hauled me into court.

Think about it - arrested at work, held for 6 days, and it's only when one gets in front of a judge that someone says "Ooopsy!" And Ex wife, grinning like a cheshire cat - isn't even given a stern look.

What a crock of shit.

No what pisses me off - just PISSES me off to the point where I just want to kick and break things - I'm not an isolated case! I'm not an exception, things like this happen EVERY. FUCKING. DAY.

And nobody gives a fuck. Everyone wants to "study" it, and look all fucking concerned, and speechify, but GOD FUCKING FORBID we put Pat Ireland's cunt-lapping panties in a knot. Or whichever dyke slut is running that gang if whores these days.

I have mine. I finally got my kids, got my ex off the tit, and am not sharing. Married again? HAH! NO! Not just no, HELL NO! No, not just Hell NO, HELL-FUCKING-NO!

I learned my lesson. Day I let anything even smelling like a domestic court even cath me on radar. let alone think it might have jurisdiction over me is the day ya'll had best have me diagnosed with Alzheimer's and declared non compos mentis.

Know why women - feminists in particular - don't want us to be mad? To express it? To think it's okay to be just a teeny bit pissy?

They fear it. Say it for me, my brothers. They are scared, shaking in their boots and pissing down their legs scared. Women get mad, they demonstrate until men change things for them. Men get mad, and shit changes and anyone who gets in the way gets trampled. Women's anger is about bitching. Men's anger is about getting shit done, and done so nobody has to go in and redo it anytime soon.

Oh yeah, baby. I want some mad and angry men. I want people going "Oh shit!" and diving for cover. I want politicians cowering in their offices fretting about whether they have gone too far and making frantic phone calls about rolling the bullcrap back before they get tar and feathers all over their Armani suits.

I want these snivelling judges stopping to think that they have houses, and the cops guarding them are men too - and had damn well better be, becaiuse if thave women guarding them they might as well have Cub Scouts doing it for all they good it will do.

One of these days some cocksucker, somewhere - some castrating bull dyke somehow - is going to place the last straw on the camel's back. And when they do, Katie Bar The Door! You are going to hear a shout of "HAVOC!" and the dogs of war will be let slipped.

And when it does, I am going to be laughing my motherfucking ass off. If it comes to recalls, I will be passing out fliers and working the polls. If it's about boycotts, I will be posting the sites to egg it on. I will be preaching the word for men to demand a rtrial, to not waive a speedy trial, and to plead not guilty and break the court system. I will be urging men to exercise jury nullification. And if there's a little civil disorder - hey - it's what they get.

It ain't revenge. It's about exacting the fiddler's due to the last fucking penny. and that's about making sure the next time some dumb cunt of a future Betty Freidan pipes up, her sister's tear her limb from limb before we have to do this crap again.

Hey, if we can roll back this pheminazi shit without a shot, fine by me. If we can negotiate and demonstrate our way to justice, bully for it! I'm behind it a hundred percent. I've done war. It SUCKS. Last resort.

But take it off the table? No siree bob. You first, girls.

Life is not so dear, nor peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of slavery and chains.

And know what - and I don't give a fuck how un-PC it is - those words could NEVER in a million years have been uttered by a woman.

You think about that. And reflect, sil vous plait, what it is to have a pair. Not false pheminist bravado, real honest to God, in your face, suck my dick if you don't like it or be a man and slap me down if you dare MANHOOD.

In the movie "AS GOOD AS IT GETS" staring Jack and Helen Hunt. Jack Nicholson plays a socially introverted writer of (no shit) WOMEN's ROMANCE novels. He is a socially handicapped introvert who is a best selling women's romance novellist. When going to meet with his editor he meets this buxom beauty who is his editor's receptionist. She runs up to him and breathlessly asks him:
    "How do you understand women and write them so well" -- practically drooling on him in adoration of his understanding of the female mind. She is breathless (watch and see, it's funny!) on the expected reply of sage like wisdom.
Jack Replies:
" I think of a man ... then I take away reason and accountability."

Care to hazard a guess where I got my contempt?

Got a vasectomy many many moons ago. Some time after that, I was involved with a woman, who turned up PREGNANT. After affirming my sperm count was zilch, I let her believe I was going to "suck it up" and "be a man" and "stand by her."

You should have seen her face when I refused to sign an acknowldgement of paternity. What was even more priceless was when I let her lawyer go on about paternity, and then dropped the bomb that if she was pregnant, and I was the only possible father, they missed the star in the east FUCKING AGAIN.

FYI, there's not woman one I have sex with that isn't a hundred percent fully informed that I don't believe in monogomy, relationships, commitment, marriage, or in being owned and branded. More often than not, this is in excruciating detail, and hammered home many many times before I even - how shall I put it - Slide for second base? Let alone go for the home run?

Without exception - except for a few who are completely cool with it - relieved, even - every one of these dumb bitches that later snivel and whine think I'm bullshitting, or that they are something special, or that they can change me - despite heaps of evidence to the contrary.

I cannot even begin to count the times I have dumped some dumbass because I plain got sick of screwing her - and her friends were lined up ready for their crack at me.

Buddy-O - I am the decent guy's best friend. Either I get these manipulative bitches so flustered and angry they swear off men; or put a chip on their shoulder so large that even the densest dweeb can't miss it from a quarter of a mile away, or when they do find one of ya'll they hold on for dear life. Any way you slice it, you win.

Know what? Any woman you might call "decent" won't have a damn thing to do with me - which is, by-the-by, just the way I like it - so never fear.

And know what? I don't WANT "relationship." And for some reason if an armchair shrink wants to sayt I'm "afraid" of a relationship - yeah. Your point being? Don't want one, don't gotta have one, got burned already, learned my lesson, never again - see a pattern here? Why should I want to change? I like it - plenty of friends, plenty of money, my space my own, and at least two other guy's share of sex - give me one reason why I should give it up? To have some old bat to will my money to when I am dead and gone? To roll the dice again in a rigged game?

Fuck that.

You know, you want to enact change, if more men developed my attitude, we'd have the pheminista's suing for peace under any terms within a decade - or the women who were left after THEY killed the pheminazis for us.

Finding love after being burned by the system may be difficult. Many will refuse to even consider this an option.

Maybe that's when you know you have someone special, money is not a factor in the relationship.

It is my opinion at the age of 47 and being in my second marriage that our gender trades goods (money) for sex. Either in a piece rate basis i.e. Prostitution, escort service, massage parlor etc. or a Full lifetime commitment. With the piece rate basis you get what you pay for. There is no emotional commitment only a financial one. Mind you I am a Father of 5 and Grandfather to 3 Grandsons. My personal experience is that I have made the traditional decision marriage and family. I have friends who are divorced and refuse to remarry, they find there are enough desperate Women wanting sex that they can get what they want without marriage. Either way Women expect Goods if you expect to get sex. The tables can only be turned when enough of us say we won't play that game anymore. Or better yet opt out for foreign Women who would appreciate us more than the spoiled JAPS (Jewish American Princesses) who are what American Women have become. Personally if my second marriage fails I'm heading for Asia or Eastern Europe. American Women are unreasonable and their demands are unrealistic for resources and perks. A loyal Husband, Good Father does not mean shit in our culture anymore.
That is the harsh reality that I have come to face. I hope that My Sons and Grandsons do not have the same miserable experiences with American Women that I have had.

As far as men being exploited in the act of being with a prostitute , it depends( in some cases YES and in some cases NOT NECESSARY). I have often heard the term -: "A woman gave a man some pussy" [no I'm not trying to be vulgar, but to simply make a point]. A woman DOES NOT give a man anything during any sex act--PERIOD. Remember , it is the penis that is inserted into the vagina and not vice versa. Also, it is the many who introduces his semen into the woman upon ejaculation. Furthermore, it is the man who impregnates the woman and not vice versa, so a woman does not give a many anything during the sex act ( except maybe an STD ).Anyone who knows anything about biology knows that the male germ is dominant so the term that a man is only a sperm donor is a bunch of nonsense. In reality, it is the woman that is the egg donor. Women use sex as a weapon to get what they want by refusing sex with their male partner . This can be a sense of punishment or bribery or spitefulness. If a woman is a consenting adult who charges a man for sex favors, and the man is a consenting adult who willingly pays for the sexual favors from her then we do not have a crime because their is NO victim. No one has been harmed or violated and the act is mutual with the mutual accdeptance and approval of both partners. Since the actis mutual it can therefore be considered an exploitation of the man since he is actually paying the woman for the pleasures of her body , but he gets no payment from her for the pleasures of his body by her. This is a social and personal double-standard. In other words, the man has an orgasm from enjoying the sex of the woman and pays her a monetary fee for his pleasure, but he receives NO monetary fee from her for having been pleasured or receiving an orgasm from him. Both have shared their respectives bodies with each other but only HE pays. Whats wrong with this picture ? Many in our society consider sexual promiscuity to be IMORRAL , yet according to the dictionary , the term morality MEANS- " The relative right or wrong of an action " or " Based on the principles of right conduct rather than on law or custom". Many people say that prostitution is wrong because of their religious indoctrinations or their belief that it may contribute to the high spread of diseases. First, theologians consider it immoral because they believe it to be harmful to the marital institution and a man is actually more prone to getting an STD from unprotected sex with a nymphomaniac whore in a night club during a one-night stand by a woman who sleeps with multiple partners for free than with a hooker who practices safe sex routinely. Don't forget the definition of the term "exploit" mean- " to take advantage of a person or group of people for the purpose of monetary gain ". During the sex act regarding a man paying a prostitute for sex it is clearly the man being taken advantage of monetarily and it is certainly the woman who is making the monetary gain. So based on the definition,go figure who is actually being EXPLOITED. Skip
