You could say that about almost any job.


I'm having a hard time swallowing that. Yes, I suppose you could close your eyes, grit your teeth and...if you were a woman, but somehow I don't buy that for a guy.

I just don't.

Maybe I'm too much of a prude, but I think giving a roll in the hay is quantitatively different than screwing on a bolt on the assembly line. Forgive me.

Waaaaay back in '76 someone told me that the definition of 'coyote ugly' is waking up next to some chick who is sooooo ugly that you'd rather chew your own arm off rather than wake her up. I stand by that definition.

You don't have to assume that prostitution is a morally neutral vocation to support a woman's right to participate in it if she so chooses. Clearly, the woman in that video felt that she had exhausted all reasonable options and was using the brothel as a last resort. That should be her right, but we shouldn't pretend it doesn't come with a special set of issues (be they medical, emotional or other).

I agree. I just don't think women nonchalantly decide to boink any drunk, fat, over-age, smelly guy that comes along just to make $20 bucks if she has any other choice.

It's my opinion that the majority of men have it in their mind that most women would be delighted, if not down-right lucky-- to have sex with him because 'he' is a gift to humanity in general, womankind as a group and this particular woman specifically.

(It may be noted that I also don't think males should be given the vote until they are about 45 and their testosterone has begun to decline.)

Brothels help prostitutes stay healthy

Sydney - Prostitution is regulated differently in Australia's six states, allowing researchers like Basil Donovan to compare how the industry operates under different rules and the implications for public health.

Donovan, from the University of New South Wales, found that sex workers in his state had the lowest incidence of sexually transmitted disease.

If the health of those who work in the industry was the only consideration, he argues, other jurisdictions should fall into line with the biggest state and decriminalize prostitution and deregulate the industry.

'The prevalence of gonorrhoea in sex workers in Sydney is as close as you can get to zero,' Donovan, an internationally recognized expert in sexual health, said.


In his view, persuasion works better than regulation and this explains the sex industry's low rate of sexually transmitted diseases in New South Wales.

In the neighbouring states of Queensland and Victoria, prostitution is still a criminal offence and brothels have to be licenced. Donovan says this has driven much of the industry out onto the street and made it harder for health programmes to reach prostitutes.

'It's very difficult to run health promotion programmes and to access those women to ensure they are seeing doctors,' he said.

In New South Wales, by contrast, the law does not obstruct conveying the safe-sex message.

Letting the industry regulate itself has had clear benefits in terms of best practice. Within a few years of the first case of HIV/AIDS infections emergence in New South Wales in the early 1980s, the industry declared condom use mandatory in brothels.

'It probably saved thousands of lives and stopped HIV/AIDS becoming a generalized epidemic,' Donovan said.

You don't have to agree with the practice of something to believe that it should be legal. Like drugs, the criminalization of prostitution likely puts users and sellers are greater risk than a model of legal regulation.

I'll see you legal prostitution and raise you an expansive interpretation of the 2nd Amendment.

Are you speaking from experience here Big Bird? I often wonder why, if these girls are so repulsed, do they continue to do it?


I don't need to have experienced it to know it. I don't need to have experienced working down a sewer to know that it would be unpleasant. I might come to accept my work, but I'd never come to enjoy the smell of shit, or relish the sensation of wading knee deep in it.

These women don't do it because they love screwing repulsive losers. They do it for the money.

Haven't you ever been kissed by someone and found yourself wanting to puke? Have you never found someone physically repulsive? Sometimes a guy has tried to embrace me, and I've really wanted to run a mile. I've been sickened just by being in near proximity. Perhaps it's mother nature screaming "don't let this unsuitable mate near your precious eggs!" [Just for those of you who are so obsessed with evolutionary theories for our behaviou]. I can't imagine having to have sex with someone like that. I couldn't bear it. Just awful. These women really earn their money.

I think shagging someone of subnormal intelligence must be the most revolting thing of all, and I bet they do a fair bit of that.

Which of these two ladies probably feels more repulsed?
