First Things First.
Before I express my thoughts on everyone's favorite extra-curricular activity, I'd like to briefly mention that YOUR House of Representatives voted in favor of the most useless bailout in history.
(But I'm sure you already know that by now.)
This bill will do nothing to solve our crisis, and indeed, it is nothing more than the beginning of a massive re-inflation campaign that could very well tear the economy to shreds, trigger a massive dollar crisis as foreign investors dump devalued dollars, and doom this nation to third world status.
The best and most thorough explanation I've seen since my undergraduate Money and Banking class (taught by a former member of the St. Louis Federal Reserve) of how the Fed works and how, in partnership with the U.S. Treasury, it will eventually turn the U.S. Dollar into toilet tissue can be found here.
You will come away amazed and enraged. I know I was.
Incidentally, the French are already calling for a real New World Order that will not include America at its head. And, as I've previously surmised, American led efforts such as I-VAWA and CEDAW will be allowed to die a quiet death.
I can just imagine major heads of state saying to themselves behind closed doors:
If those pussy-whipped Americans are capable of squandering the wealth and power of the most prosperous nation in the history of the world, why in the hell should we adopt their screwed up family values? Our women are just fine, thank you very much!
Here's a newsflash for the Marxist-Feminists:
On a worldwide scale; no one gives a fuck about 'chya. Nations do what they do in order to make nice nice with the current Superpower, not because they give a flying fudge about feminist family values. Declining American influence = declining feminist influence.
Case in point: The Russians, having had a heaping helping of Anti-Family Marxist propaganda, aren't trying to adopt Matriarchal Western values, for very compelling reasons.
In any event, there is no possible way that this long overdue economic correction can be avoided. Indeed, with our massive outstanding liabilities for social security, medicare, and the like, our incredible military spending, and the unceasing destruction of the most fundamental unit of economic production, the married family unit, the outcome is certain.
This attempt to keep the good times rolling will meet with failure. When and how the wheels fall off, I can only speculate. But I do know that those in Congress that voted YEA for this bill have betrayed the public trust, and all those who supported this bill should be voted out of office at the earliest opportunity!
(Politicians and Bankers team up to screw the gullible American populace).
Neither Conservative nor Liberal be.
Speaking of congress, we'll be talking about this subject at length today. I've said previously that I'm not a "conservative," and you're getting ready to find out why.
In a nutshell, I am a Classical Liberal who believes that people's private lives are none of my concern, so long as all participating parties are of legal age, consent to their lifestyles without duress or threat of violence, and don't fuck up shit for me and mine.
As a matter of fact, the main reason why I became an MRA is that feminists and power mongers passed a bunch of bullshit laws such as VAWA that threaten my liberties, in addition to slandering my honor as a man. My message to the "Do-Gooders" who brought all of this shit to fruition:
STAY THE F*&K OUTTA MY BITNESS BITCHES; AND DON'T DRAG MY GOOD NAME THROUGH THE MUD!!
In general, I support the right of religious and secular groups of various ideologies to contribute to the overall marketplace of ideas, because no one has a patent on the truth. Sometimes I can be right on one subject, but someone else might be more knowledgeable about another. I can accept that. Plus, I don't know enough about what is going on in the lives of other people to want to control their very human natures like feminists have sought to do.
However, those who would teach moral codes and the like, such as Islamic Supremacists, have no right to impose their teachings upon others.
And indeed, there is no need for moral systems to win converts by the sword, or by deception, as in the feminist/marxist case. If the belief system is in harmony with the Universal Laws that govern creation and human affairs, then people will seek out the teachings by their own accord. As it is written, people tend to be convicted by their own spirit.
For example, I support the right of two men or two women to have a private "marriage" ceremony with the group of one's choosing, make contractual obligations with one another, appoint one another as power of attorney, etc. As a matter of fact, I don't give a S&^T one way or another, because I personally don't hang in homosexual circles. Live and let live.
I don't support laws making "gay marriage" legal, nor do I support laws banning the practice.
Why? Because I personally believe that true and valid marriage, the form that societies base their civilizations upon, that involve men and women and children, are beyond the reach of government. With the exception of preventing forced marriages, or the marriages of adults to minor children, government has no role in marriage, and should stay as far away from it as possible [1][2][3].
In my perfect world, since many religious groups oppose homosexuality on principle, they would, of course retain the right to speak out against gay partnerships, and refuse to perform same-sex ceremonies; while pro-homosexual groups would continue to speak in favor of same sex unions, and gay friendly organizations would continue to "marry" gay couples.
Friendly debate, Yes. Laws supporting or banning same-sex ceremonies, No.
As highlighted above, the conflict between values is a prime example as to why our Constitutional system was designed the way it was. Our system is one that enforces the Rule of Law, and recognizes universal Natural Rights and responsibilities, and is the only way that differing groups of people can live together in peace and relative harmony. This is also the only way that equilibrium in the life of a nation can be maintained because, if the rights and responsibilities of a certain group are violated, be it because of racism, sexism, discrimination because of a certain creed, etc, then the natural reaction of the downtrodden group will be for them to organize and play the game of group politics. As time passes, individuals identify with the group instead of with the nation; and the individual group members may end up supporting a larger agenda that may in fact be against their own best interests.
This is the situation we have now in America... groups bitterly in competition for laws, policies, and programs that benefit their in-group members only, all the while corrupting and weakening the nation as a whole.
Entire classes of people, for example, Men and children, are seeing their Natural, God given rights to life, liberty, property, and the impartial adjudication of disputes trampled upon in order to give more and more rights (and less and less responsibilities) to women.
And, especially in the black American community, many are so fearful that the larger society will not protect their individual rights as people (for obvious historical reasons), that they support "leaders" that are, in reality, pushing agendas that are not in their best interests.
(Harriet Tubman)
(Frederick Douglas)
Instead of carrying on the tradition of self reliance and resistance to injustice displayed by honored ancestors such as Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglas, many of us have the Great Society and Obamanation outlook of welfarism, underachievement, and bitter gender warfare.
When I say underachievement, I mean this: why are these leaders only offering incentives to make less than a certain income, when black Americans have the potential within themselves to earn as many dollars as they desire?
I don't know about you, but a salary of $250,000 a year is a pittance. I know that I can achieve greater financial success than this. Where are the leaders encouraging us to aim for the stars?
Why is it that black Americans are discouraged from forming the most effective family arrangement known to mankind? Why is it that the single mother family is the predominate arrangement for raising children, when our African ancestors and contemporaries treasure the institution of marriage (monogamous and polygamous) ?
You see, it makes no sense. And yet, it is because of group politics that many are fearful to examine these obvious contradictions, and act to correct them. It's hard to straighten up and fly right when the Great Ark of the Group has already capsized.
Membership in the group is simply too valuable to lose, even if the tribe is sinking in the cold, dark waters of the North Atlantic, just like the Titanic.
This state of affairs is completely unsustainable in the long run, for a host of reasons discussed at length on this blog, and is completely at odds with our traditions of Constitutional Republicanism.
Human beings deserve and should expect equal rights and responsibilities; not SPECIAL rights and waived responsibilities. This is against the Universal Law, and those that violate the Law are always punished.
Anything less than this standard of Equal rights and responsibilities is unjust, tyrannical, and must be challenged, opposed, and defeated, lest the malignant cancer of favoritism spread and kill the body politic.
Forgive me for digressing, but please keep these ideals in mind as I continue with this post.
A Woman's Work.
While surfing the web for interesting material to write about, I found this article entitled, Women's Work:
Prostitution, some say, is the oldest profession in the world.
Having existed in nearly every culture, every continent and every century for which we have a historical understanding, women who perform sex acts in exchange for money have alternately endured scorn, stigma, intolerance and indifference, while being almost universally viewed as having “fallen” from decent society.
Here in America, our legal and moral responses to “the great social evil” have remained relatively unchanged for more than a hundred years, and these fallen women have remained on the margins of nearly every community.
At the beginning of the 21st century, however a combination of sexual liberty and modern technology is democratizing prostitution without waiting for it to be decriminalized...
Ahh... good ol' Prostitution. Is it a social evil?
Some people would answer in the affirmative without hesitation. I take a different view.
My position is simple: Prostitution should be legalized, regulated, and taxed, like any other occupation. Women who are over the legal age of consent, who are free of sexually transmitted diseases, and who are not being forced into sex work, have every right to enter this profession if they so choose.
For those who wish to learn more about sex-work, pornography, and prostitution from someone actively involved in the business, you might want to stop by and check out my good friend Renegade Evolution's SWOP-East Blog.
My commentary will focus on why prostitution should be legal and commercially available to Men, from a Men's Rights perspective.
Our author writes:
Go to any large American city, or any number of small ones. Find the poorest of neighborhoods. The one where drugs are easy to come by and gun violence is impossible to get rid of. Look for women who appear to have few, if any, options. Odds are you can get a blowjob for just a bit more than you can a Big Mac.
But if you want to ensure a successful night, you might consult a local Web site before you go:
“Cruised both East and West 10th Street this afternoon and saw a couple very heavy BSW [black streetwalkers] on the Eastside but nothing worth picking up. Think the heat was a little high for them today.”
“Was out early Thursday morning 1-3 a.m. Picked up a WSW [white streetwalker]. Jenny, blonde, looked to have a nice body, in her 20s, pretty girl, OK [oral sex] skills.”
“Sunday 6:30ish I saw a tall, slim blonde standing on East Washington. Not sure what intersection but it was a few blocks west of Euclid. I made a second pass and this girl was pretty cute. Almost too good to be true...”
... You don’t have to know about the Web site to know where to find streetwalkers in Indianapolis, but it certainly helps. At least that’s what one local cabdriver named Mike believes. He frequently procures the services of prostitutes and he is one of the most frequent posters on the site.
Thirty-two, divorced and the father of three boys under 11, Mike drives a cab at night and works at a restaurant during the day. He’s been posting on the site since he found out about it from another cab driver two years ago. Even though he’s rather non-committal about whether or not prostitution should be a crime, he’s adamant that the social networking aspect of the Web site is a good thing...
The writer also notes:
... Like Mike the cab driver, Jerry is another Indianapolis man who uses a local Web site to post reports of his successes and failures in his business dealings with escorts.
“I’m very careful,” he says over lunch in Broad Ripple. “I’m clean, and I expect the women I deal with to be clean also. I’m not just looking for sex. I’m looking — and willing to pay for — an experience.”
In his mid-40s, Jerry is divorced and the father of two teenagers. He owns his business, one that affords him the luxury of spending quite a few hours and hundreds of dollars for the company of women each month.
“I’m happy being single,” he says. “I’ve got my business, my kids and a good relationship with my ex-wife. I have no interest in having a girlfriend, or being in a serious relationship right now. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to have sex.
“Look, I’ve tried being honest with women I’ve dated,” he says when asked why he chooses to pay for sex rather than just date like most single adults. “I tell them I don’t want a relationship; they say they understand; a couple weeks or months go by and pretty soon they want more. And I don’t want to give them more.
“This way,” he says, “nobody gets hurt...”
The journalist, telling us about Prostitution in Amsterdam, remarks:
... The Dutch government runs a pretty tight ship where prostitution is concerned; it is a $1 billion industry for the country and accounts for 5 percent of the GDP. Presumably, these women are all legal residents, they are all of consent age, they are all licensed and regularly provided medical exams, which they must pass in order to remain in business.
These women are all here by choice. They are all consenting adults. And they earn their living thanks in no small part to American men, from the hordes of frat boys who trip through the streets each summer, to men like an Indianapolis financier named David who recently confided in me that he frequently travels to Amsterdam for “sex vacations.”
Nearing 60, married for nearly 30 years and otherwise completely faithful to his wife and mother of his children, David has been coming to Amsterdam to legally have sex with prostitutes off and on for nearly two decades.
“It started by accident,” he tells me in a conspiratorial whisper. “I have a client with offices in Amsterdam, and I started traveling there about once a year on business; now, I just build in an extra few days for non-work activities.
"My only goal is to have sex with all the women I want to,” he offers as a vacation itinerary. “Sometimes it’s only three or four; once it was more than 10. Last time, I was there for only two days and found one girl to spend both of them with. Cost me $5,000, but it was worth every dime.”
At the end of his confession, David explains that he wouldn’t risk paying for a prostitute in the United States. And that he believes it should be legal. To punctuate his point, he quotes George Carlin: “I don’t understand why prostitution is illegal. Selling is legal, fucking is legal. So why isn’t it legal to sell fucking?...”
When you have a moment, check out the entire article.
So you might be asking, what's your point here?
Lemme break it down.
Men who visit prostitutes, especially in the English speaking countries, tend to be looked down upon by polite society. Shaming language such as, "losers", "abusers", "weirdos", "perverts", and other grade school insults are commonplace. Men who decide to bypass today's modern feminist woman and pay prostitutes for sex are urged to "step up their game" and "find a real woman to date", among other retarded advice.
However, the article above tells us that normal men, who have found "real women" to mate with and marry, prefer, for various personal reasons, to pay for sex. These men could be family members, co-workers, friends or acquaintances. And most of the men featured have found out too late that getting married in the West isn't a "death to us part" proposition. Maybe they've figured out by now that life, love, and marriage aren't as simplistic as it's made out to be.
The way I see it, the hysteria surrounding this most intimate of transactions is another example of society brainwashing a man from fulfilling one of his most deep-seated desires at his discretion.
What women (and a good many Manginas) fail to understand is that the vast majority of men are hardwired to be lean, mean, sex machines; so much so that many women aren't in a position to keep up.
Men are not women; we are fundamentally different. And when it comes to love and sex, we process these impulses using quite different operating systems.
(Dr. Louann Brizendine)
Dr. Louann Brizendine informs us in her magnificent book, The Female Brain (highly recommended):
The Great Sexual Divide
"The sex-related centers in the male brain are actually about two times larger than parallel structures in the female brain. When it comes to the brain, size does make a difference in the way women and men think about, respond to, and experience sex.
Men, quite literally, have sex on their minds more than women do. They feel pressure in their gonads and prostates unless they ejaculate frequently. Males have double the brain space and processing power devoted to sex as females. Just as women have an eight-lane superhighway for processing emotion while men have a country road, men have O'Hare Airport as a hub for processing thoughts about sex whereas women have the airfield nearby that lands small and private planes... Male brain systems for sex are on alert with every waft of perfume and every female that walks (pp 91-92)."
(Compare O'Hare International Airport...)
(... to Greenwood Municipal Airport. Any Questions?)
Dr. Brizendine explains how a woman's sex drive can be easily shut down by other activities, such as caring for an infant:
"Often mother love and breast feeding replace or interfere with a new mother's desire for her partner...
... like all women who are in skin to skin contact with babies and breast feeding- has a brain that marinating in oxytocin and dopamine making her feel loved, deeply bonded, and physically and emotionally satisfied. It's no wonder that she has no need for sexual contact. Many of the positive feelings she usually gets from sexual intercourse are evoked, several times daily, by meeting the basic physical needs of her young children (p. 106-107)."
This last paragraph brings to mind a universally recognized truth for many married couples... the sex stops, or moves to a crawl, once children enter the picture.
Let's take a look at a few examples.

10 Tricks for Moms to Avoid Sex
Monday, October 6, 2008
Forget the cliche "Not tonight honey, I have a headache" excuse for getting out of doing the deed.
Like it or not, when you have kids, sex often takes a back seat to other items on our "to do" lists. When it comes down to it, given the option of "getting it on" or house cleaning (so we're not forced to outfit the family in protective Hazmat suits) -- we choose the latter. Heck, we only have a limited amount of time, something's gotta give.
Often, we moms end up going through the motions. Recently our post "What Moms Think About During Sex" made it clear just how tired and distracted many of us can be while fulfilling our "wifely duties." How do we get into that (missionary) position in the first place? Tired old avoidance ploys like "Not tonight honey, I have a headache," simply don't work anymore -- especially with the invention of Advil.
Here are some handy ways to get out of "doing it" -- if you just can't fit sex into your schedule...
From The Standard:
Published on 06/10/2008
Differences in sexual appetite may be driven by evolution.
A woman’s sex drive begins to plummet once she is in a secure relationship, according to research. Researchers from Germany found that four years into a relationship, less than half of 30-year-old women wanted regular sex. Conversely, the team found a man’s libido remained the same regardless of how long he had been in a relationship.
Writing in the journal Human Nature, the scientists said the differences resulted from how humans had evolved. For men, a good reason their sexual motivation remained constant was to guard against being cuckolded by another male.
The researchers from Hamburg-Eppendorf University Hospital interviewed 530 men and women about their relationships. They found 60 per cent of 30-year-old women wanted sex "often" at the beginning of a relationship, but within four years of the relationship this figure fell to under 50 per cent, and after 20 years it dropped to about 20 per cent. In contrast, they found the proportion of men wanting regular sex remained at between 60-80 per cent, regardless of how long they had been in a relationship...

Sex Drives: His and Hers
By Michele Weiner-Davis
Hi Michele,
I'd like to ask your advice about sex. My husband and I have very different sex drives. For him, everyday would be great, and twice a day would be greater. For me, once a week, but to accommodate him, I'd have sex twice a week. I don't think I'm abnormal, but he asks, "What's wrong with you?" I say it's normal for a couple to have sex once or twice a week. He says he doesn't care about 'normal', it's not enough for him. He has a point, but everyday and even every other day is too much for me. We've been married almost 20 years and have both built up a lot of resentment towards each other. He, because of the sex, and me, for a whole lot of other marital problems. I never did have a high sex drive, even before we were married. Neither of us know how to solve this problem, but it's a big one.
Kathy
Dear Kathy,
I am very glad that you are asking for feedback about your sexual relationship with your husband because the patterns in your marriage are so common that others reading your letter and my response might benefit greatly.
First of all, know that testosterone, one of the hormones responsible for sex drive, is 20-40% higher in men than women. Though it is not always the case, it is very common for men to desire sex more often than their wives. This gender difference often creates problems in marriages, particularly when people blame each other for being different. Men think their wives are passionless and women think their husbands are sex maniacs. (I write about this in Getting Through to the Man You Love). Blame is the thing that destroys marriages, not differences in libido.
When men and women have substantially different sex drives, something interesting happens. Most women need to feel close to their partners emotionally to desire sex. Women need to spend time with their partners, to communicate on a deep level and feel like they're team mates in regards to housework and kids and so on. All this has to be in place for most women to really desire their men.
Men, on the other hand, generally need to feel close to their partners physically before they invest a great deal of energy into their relationships. So she's waiting for him to be more intimate emotionally and he's waiting for her to be more tuned into him physically and the resentment that results in this waiting game is so huge, it's beyond belief.
That being said, it's really important for both of you to become more understanding of each other. This means you both need to try to imagine what it would be like to live in each others shoes for a while. He probably walks around feeling that if you loved him more, you would be more sensitive to his needs. He undoubtedly feels hurt and rejected and might even question his sex appeal...
There are countless articles, studies, and reports that prove that the average Man desires sex a lot more than the average woman.
And in light of the overwhelming evidence, I will boldly state that the current social arrangement; that men are supposed to grow up, marry only one woman, and confine his sexual activity to that one woman only for the rest of his natural life is not the best lifestyle fit for every man on the planet, and to expect all men to conform to this one size fits all ideal is a recipe for frustration and failure.
Some men are perfectly happy living a totally monogamous lifestyle, and there is nothing wrong with that. However in real life, many men will not be able (or willing) to meet such a standard. And from a historical perspective, when we consider that Prostitution, Concubinage, and Polygamous marriage has been much more common and widespread than our American monogamous model, we come to the conclusion that our current social model is both limited in scope and shortsighted in its understanding of the nature of the Male Sex.
Also when one considers that a married woman is no longer obligated to perform her basic carnal duties, and that if a husband complains about a lack of loving, he is committing an offense akin to marital rape or some other alleged form of "violence," the present state of affairs is completely absurd.
In addition, the fact that prostitution, a traditional outlet of sexual frustration for Men in Western culture [1][2], is illegal doesn't help matters, and the overall expectation of 100% fidelity at all times and in all situations greatly discourages today's modern man from marriage:
A) Why marry if you can get all the Poontang you can get if you remain single?
B) If you get married and sexual peccadilloes occur, are you prepared to lose your property, children, family, livelihood, or even your life?
Now I know some of you might think that I am placing undue emphasis on Sex, as if there are no other considerations such as honoring one's vows, the exercise of self discipline and self control, religious or spiritual principles, among other things.
Indeed, there are many valid arguments as to why sexual restraint is necessary.
As an example of why the male sex drive would need to be subliminated, author Muata Ashby, in his book Sacred Sexuality: Ancient Egyptian Tantric Yoga, explains that:
"... the true identity of a human being is not sexual, not the body, mind, senses or anything which is in the realm of time and space because the realm of time and space is the realm of duality and illusion (p. 101)..."
The author also notes that, on a physical level:
"Through celibacy, right action and spiritual study, a deeper feeling can be discovered wherein the very source of one's true being can manifest. This is why the ancient spiritual texts of all faiths exhort all followers to keep chaste and devoted to the Divine... The practice of celibacy allows spiritual energy to flow into an elevated process of mental development rather than the degraded thoughts of lust which rob the mind of its peace, contentment and inner creative ability (p. 154)...
... It must be clearly understood that the purpose of sexuality is procreation and not recreation. It is a sacred act to engender life and is not designed for the purpose of daily, weekly, or yearly practice... Anyone who does not control the sexual urge cannot expect to evolve spiritually since the sexual activity itself disrupts the hormones of the body and the mind's ability to see clearly... it drains the physical and mental energy of the person (p. 171)."
(Napoleon Hill)
Noted writer and success coach Napoleon Hill, in his masterwork of Think and Grow Rich, tells us that:
"The human mind responds to stimulation!
Among the greatest and most powerful of... stimuli is the urge of sex. When harnessed and transmuted, this driving force is capable of lifting people into that higher sphere of thought (genius level) that enables them to master the sources of worry and petty annoyance that beset their pathway on the lower plane (p. 153)."
Mr. Hill also notes that most people do not succeed before the age of Forty because:
"...study disclosed that the major reason why the majority of people who succeed do not begin to do so before the age of forty to fifty is their tendency to dissipate their energies through overindulgence in physical expression of the emotion of sex. Most people never learn that sex has other possibilities, which far transcend in importance that of mere physical expression. The majority of those who make this discovery do so after having wasted many years when the sex energy is at its height, prior to the age of forty five to fifty. This is usually followed by noteworthy achievement (p. 154)."
(J.A. Rogers)
Author J.A. Rogers, in his classic work Sex and Race volume 3 writes:
"The intellectual, the artist, and the business man all have a tendency to shun the material woman and her simpler, often nagging ways, for the fast woman-the type with the cocktail glass, the cigarette and the abundant display of well-stockinged legs, the kind that shuns maternity. "The attraction towards prostitutes," says Bloch, "is one of the most remarkable phenomena in the psyche of modern civilized man; it is the curse of the evolution of civilization..."
(A Greek Hetaira)
(Love in India)
... "The preference of the cultured Greeks, Hindus, and Romans for the company of the hetaira, or intellectual prostitute, is well known. Rome, Greece, Corinth, Ephesus, ended their days in a glorious outburst of licentiousness (p. 191)..."
Mr. Joseph Unwin, author of Sex and Culture, bases his entire work on the premise that civilization makes its ascent when the sex drive is channeled into constructive activity and remains highly regulated; and that societies fall when sexual mores loosen, leading to a irresistable landslide of corruption and collapse.
With all that said, I recognize and respect the power of sex. It is the force that engenders life, and reckless handling of this awesome power can bring death, decay, and destruction. A society as sexually promiscuous as ours seems to have thrown caution to the wind, and has turned the Western world into Fuckfest 2008, possibly signifying the end of the Age of Western Dominance.
Ironically, our society only allows near absolute freedom of sexual expression within certain parameters that does nothing to contribute to social stability and long term sustainability, and goes a long way towards undermining it.
If we as a culture are so hellbent on allowing women sexual liberation by any means necessary, why is it that we prohibit them from working in clean, regulated, and safe brothels that would contribute income to the public coffers, lower rates of crime and disease for both the working girls and their clients, and a healthy outlet for the sexual desires of men whom, for various reasons, are unable to obtain satisfaction from the women in their lives?
Where is the Male sexual revolution? No matter how much I read about those damnable men allegedly seducing all manner of naive and innocent young women, from the facts I've gathered, which are in listed in nauseating detail on this blog, from marriage, to divorce, to child custody, and Child Support debt slavery; in every way that truly matters, it seems that Men are punished in a multitude of ways that women are not, if they are careless (or even if they are cautious) in their love affairs. It seems men in the West are getting the short end of the stick every which way.
Indeed, as we are not allowed to take our pleasure for its own sake without a host of conventions, customs, rules, consequences and burdens.
It makes no sense to confine prostitution to the street corner or the anonymous hotel room, which only increases the probability of crime and disease for all parties involved.
It makes no sense for a man in our legal climate to marry, and it's also pretty hazardous, thanks to discriminatory legislation such as VAWA, to shack up with today's modern woman. Indeed, many individuals, feminists and otherwise, have made it perfectly clear that men are dangerous dullards that should take women seriously when they loudly proclaim they need men like fish need bicycles.
And thanks to the marriage and mating strike, its become obvious to even the casual observer that more and more men are heeding that advice. In many cases, it's in a man's best interest to maintain as little contact with women, on and off the job, as possible.
So why is it then that men are forced, due to the lack of legal and safe alternatives, to "harass" this same pool of women just to have their very real physical needs met?
While I understand that excessive indulgence in sex is ruinous for society, and that marriage and family are very important and the building block of a nation, and that celibacy and sex transmutation have their important places, I also recognize the fact that little to no indulgence in intercourse is just as ruinous.
If we are going to live in a society where the sexes are encouraged to go their separate ways, then it would be in everyone's best interests for the sexual needs of both men and women to be satisfied in a safe, economically beneficial manner, in addition to the basic overall premise that legal age adults have the right to make consensual contracts for sexual fulfillment. The blunt truth is that there are plenty of women willing to supply the service if their conditions are met... only social conventions (and ironically, a great deal of feminist criticism) and legal prohibitions deter many of them from entering into the business.
(A brief aside... contrary to popular belief, there are women in the world who love to have sex for its own sake, and would be happy as a clam to provide a multitude of services to men on a professional level and support themselves in the process. Believe me... I've met them. And yes ladies, there are "establishments" just for you, that cater to women only. In Asia, they are known as Host Clubs. Toku does believe in true equality between the sexes. Handle your business.)
In summary,
Prostitution should be legalized because it would be of great benefit to Men, single, divorced, or married. Being able to visit a legal, clean, inviting, and safe Bordello would do much to demolish the current prevailing standard in the US of A that "Real Men" have to either:
A) Put themselves in legal and financial jeopardy by marrying or living with today's Western woman simply to have a normal sexual relationship, unless or until she simply stops upholding her end of the arrangement. And since American men are legally barred from taking extra wives, they either have to become an eunuch, or engage in some sort of scandalous affair that, more often than not, places himself in a worse position (divorce, loss of reputation, etc).
(The wife, upon hearing of her husband's Dirty Dancing, is shocked... absolutely shocked that her husband would dare forage for Hott Sexx from some other gal... never mind that they haven't had "relations" since 1979... Let's gut that Cheatin' Bastard at the Divorce Hearing!!!)
B) Be forced into near celibacy because one does not want to put himself at the mercy of decidedly hostile Anti-Male laws, customs, and cultural norms. Or, put himself in legal jeopardy in the Single Guy's never ending Hunt for Hookups and Phat Coochie... guess you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
If Prostitution were legal, regulated, and taxed, today's modern man would have an alternative to our present day system of sexual highway robbery. Maybe this is the real reason why the World's Oldest Profession is illegal?
In any event, when you come down to it, a man is going to potentially spend a lot more money, time, and anguish when he wines, dines, mates, and marries good ol' Mary Jane from around the way. But... we don't label giving Mary Jane a diamond ring in exchange for her lifelong sex services "prostitution" because...
Anyway, advanced students will want to browse the writings of the Mighty Marc Rudov to learn more about the terrifying power of the Pussy Cartel.
I don't know about you, but it's about time to...
...Legalize that shit Baby!! 'Cause Pimpin ain't easy.
P.S. If our culture was one that had an enlightened attitude about sex and sensibility, men the world over could enjoy high class service such as this article details.
In Japan, for example, prostitution isn't some dirty word that is to be avoided during polite conversation... but a work of art. Korea ain't no slouch either.
If only we in the West could become so civilized. One of these days, Men are going to wake up and start fighting for what's in our best interests for a change.
Next time on Togakure School... Polygamy and why it's good for ya!

Long post, Toku. Lots to talk about.
The social restrictions that used to regulate both male and female sexual behavior for the benefit of all have been removed from female sexuality. Yet they remain in place for men. And as you've pointed out, when those asymmetrical restrictions combine with a hostile legal regime, times are perilous for men indeed.
"...the major reason why the majority of people who succeed do not begin to do so before the age of forty to fifty is their tendency to dissipate their energies through overindulgence in physical expression of the emotion of sex..."
and
...civilization makes its ascent when the sex drive is channeled into constructive activity and remains highly regulated; and that societies fall when sexual mores loosen,"
I've said many times that the patriarchal model of society is successful because it successfully regulates female sexuality and ties men to their progeny. When either of these precepts are relaxed, as we have today in re: women, the system collapses.
I do want to publicly differ with you on one point, though, and that is the issue of female sex drive. I think that a woman's sex drive has potential to be as strong as a man's, if not stronger. The problem is that it is depressed, malnourished. It is usually suppressed through the belief on the part of men and women both that women are sexual halflings who don't care about sex, all they want is the relationship.*
Men are stimulated by the visual. Women are stimulated by the emotional (which is how players get "lucky" while nice guys usually don't get anywhere), and the tapering off of emotive feelings--resulting in the feared sexless marriage--does not need to happen unless both husband and wife will it to be so.
* Which is a load of bull. If relationships were what mattered to women to have sex, married men would be the most satisfied men on the planet. Clearly the latter is not the case, leading me to question the former.
Wapiti,
Agreed that the Patriarchal Model is the most effective social arrangement, when we compare it to other family types, for the reasons that you and the authors referenced have noted.
"I do want to publicly differ with you on one point, though, and that is the issue of female sex drive."
No worries friend; discussion and disagreement is encouraged. It helps keep me on my toes and makes sure that I put the proper effort into my research and writing.
"I think that a woman's sex drive has potential to be as strong as a man's, if not stronger. The problem is that it is depressed, malnourished.

I would say that there are women in the world who care very much about sex. And women such as these, who enjoy sex and sex work, should have a legal, clean, safe, and profitable venue to express that passion.
"Women are stimulated by the emotional (which is how players get "lucky" while nice guys usually don't get anywhere), and the tapering off of emotive feelings--resulting in the feared sexless marriage--does not need to happen unless both husband and wife will it to be so."
The point about women being stimulated by emotion is a vital understanding that less than one man in a thousand understands.
In my next post, I will explore this further.
And I also agree that what the mind dwells upon becomes that person's reality. And so, women and men, husband and wife can do much to keep the flames of passion going.
But there are times, for numerous reasons, when a wife or girlfriend just isn't feeling it... or when she just isn't able to keep up, especially in our world where both men and women are working like slaves just trying to keep their heads above water.
My support of Prostitution, in this case, is that the institution, properly regulated, provides a legal, clean, and discreet environment in which the Average Joe can take care of business, without putting his relationship, his reputation, and so forth, in jeopardy.
Nice comments!
Toku.
Hey Toku, thanks for the response.
While I can't support prostitution due to my faith and my belief that sexuality best belongs in a marriage, I can see where you are coming from.
I think that prostitution is unhealthy for both men and women in the long run and is best discouraged, but the world's oldest profession is that way for a reason.
I think we too easily forget the wise advice that both husbands and wives are to give their bodies freely to each other and not deny themselves except for short periods of time when absolutely necessary.
I personally think that a more giving attitude on the part of women in regards to sexuality is wise and benefits not only the man but the woman herself.
In the absence of this mutual giving attitude, prostitution flourishes even more.
