This guy is a therapist. He has a very unconventional view on hookers. He did a 3 part series on hookers. He makes some brilliant points. One being that with a hooker you can never attain the highs that you might in a real relationship, but the downsides are also mitigated. Anyway, it doesn't do any justice for me to quote him. You need to give him a listen as he makes a lot of interesting points.

Right now, we only have 2 options - hookers or married for life. Why not have other options? Like if you can have a relationship for 2 years, then it's considered a success and you can move on if things aren't working? Why is a relationship considered a failure if it doesn't last forever? What is "long-term"? Forever? Why?

you are perhaps overly idealistic about women. they're not all holy and pure. many of them actually enjoy sleeping with strangers and have other twisted fantasies that might make you squeamish.

to use the term violence is sensationalist propaganda. it's only violence if you physically assault someone.

I've dated several crazy women. That harms your life when you're romantically involved with these women. If you're lucky, you will date a well-adjusted woman and you yourself are well-adjusted. But a lot of people who pretend to live normal lives are not that well-adjusted. My brother beat his kids and would have been better off not getting married and seeing hookers than trying to pretending to be normal and raising a family.

I really think the Jesus comment triggered him somehow, but we'll never know for sure. Take care, beachlover

And the problem with that in marriage is that it's too vague. How do you define financial security? A 100K house? Some women need a 200K house. Other women might want a 500K house and then financial security can devolve into endless greed. And some women might never be content with what you're offering. It might never be enough with the Keeping Up With the Joneses that is so prevalent in "proper society".

yep ... pain ... and ... soul growth. wait ... not everyone on AN has a soul, by their own admission. haha.. if you don't have a soul, definitely stay away from relationships

because religions are corrupt?

Jordan Peterson, who many people hate, I think said sth like men who are in perpetual one night stands (which is similar to hookers) are sociopathic. He's probably not far from the truth. So yeah, I don't disagree with this last comment of yours. Cheers.

Yeah, but you're shooting yourself in the foot. "choices in women you trusted" might be 50% of the female population cannot be trusted to be in a committed relationship. many women are better off in bars than in marriages.

you need to walk around with a freakin' stick in this day and age with all these vicious dogs

Most people are not capable of deep loving bonds. It takes a very spiritual and deep person to do so, and most people ain't either. And therefore most "normal" relationships are much more transactional than "proper society folks" like you would care to admit. And therefore, the argument for or against prostitution becomes blurred and is not black and white at all. It's based on the false supposition that married couples are not engaging in transactions, and it's all "pure love". Doesn't exist.

I had remarked that it's "shallow" in another thread. It's ok for a while maybe, but not indefinitely. Unless maybe you can get a pet and at the very least bond with an animal and take care of a pet. You gotta bond and take care of something, if not a woman. Sex is just greedily getting needs met. You're not expressing love, which human beings are designed for.

is that the reincarnation of susan? thanks, i missed that

I dont doubt such scams exist, but do people really leave 750K sitting in a bank account? Most people have most of their money in investments that cannot be touched. So dont believe this story.

Haha. Oh wait ... there was more to the prophecy. The "death of a leader" will "lead to riots and "seperation of the country."

Yeah, Trump was good-looking when he was younger. What the heck happened to his face? Just watched another prediction. They don't predict who will win. But the prediction is that some US States will secede from the US because of this election ... but not through civil war. Let's see what happens.

This is one of the craziest things I've ever seen. This cop blows the head off of an innocent old black lady. Was it just because he was a racist psyhopath? Or was he triggered by what she said ?? She said "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus" and this seemed to seriously trigger him to act psychotic. Was the cop afraid of going to hell or sth and the mention of Jesus scared the crap out of him? His reaction was over the top with an innocent old harmless lady. Shooting at 9:05. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2rMB2fYjuY&rco=1

Gotu Kola is an herb used in Chinese medicine . Just read this about Gotu Kola

The US is not run by one person. The people in charge will do whatever they want, irrespective of your vote. So what you see on TV is just mind games. Trump is mostly a bad B-movie slash horror actor. You vote with what you spend your time, attention, and money on. Turn off the news.

daily banking is generally for residents. but you could probably put your money in GICs in your local bank. have a bunch of 6 month placements so you can withdraw if needed. and do your daily banking from a Thai bank account. or avoid the bricks and mortar banks. there are several banks that are exclusively online that have popped up in recent years. they might be more lax.

I was insinuating that that's what you would do.

I'm not convinced you're not the type of person who would check her pockets. Your posting history hasn't convinced me.

I experiemented with MACA. It works well to increase sex drive. But it's not like Viagra where you pop one pill to get an erection. It actually does sth in the body to increase sexual desire. I think Horny Goat Weed is similar, but never tried it. But .,,, it takes a couple of weeks of taking it daily to start having an effect. And then you need to keep taking it, which will get expensive. And you have trouble getting an erection, it may not help. It's not like Viagra.
