Tangerine commented on the article |I can honestly say that vegan donuts (egg & dairy free) taste just like the egg&dairy version, except maybe they feel "lighter" on your stomach. Knowing what suffering is involved in egg & dairy industries I dont see why anyone would oppose to switching to a cruelty-free version? Try the blind test, you won't even be able to tell!

Tangerine commented on the article |Mike,
I'm pretty sure everyone is aware that straight women also buy sex, and so do homosexuals of both genders. But lets not waste time arguing which stereotype is leading, and what example is being discussed and repeatedly mentioned in this thread.
Even so, the sex formula (in 2nd paragraph) can be applied to any type of sex- (non-consensual acts excluded) -it doesn't even have to be between only 2 individuals.
But just to keep things clear, both straight and homosexual sex buyers would benefit from one-night stands, in my opinion.
I used the most common/most discussed scenario as an example to keep things simple, but the illusion of "sex trade" + the illogical argument for a necessary compensation exist in all types of prostitution, even many forms of socially acceptable relationships.
re your last paragraph: I'm afraid you misunderstood what I wrote. If you reread my previous post you will see that I don't describe prostitutes as victims- (i agree with you there) I do however imply that sex buyers are being scre*ed in more than one sense.
I clicked "like" on your comment, so that you can sleep tonight. Are we cool now? -

The idea that sex is an act with a single giver and a single receiver needs to be buried once and for all. As long as we keep believing this ancient stereotype that sex is a sacrifice (of time, convenience, morality...) on women's part (which is to be compensated)- and only a matter of privilege on men's part, there will be an illusion of trade. And with it all the implications and side-effects brought on by its illogical argument and unfairness: sexist behaviour, discrimination, prostitution, unrealistic gender ideals, sexual insecurity etc.
Comparing (consensual) sexual intercourse to a service or merchandise is deeply flawed - since sexual intercourse, in itself, IS an exchange. (X having sex with Y and equally- Y having sex with X. Sex, being a mutual experience, cannot be "given" by X/Y to Y/X. It's made possible and experienced by both.) Further adding of value and pricing on either side would mean overrating that side- while undermining the other.
And to all the sex buyers out there (especially all the busy academics who post here frequently) if dating isn't an option, I recommend one-night stands. Even though this means the end of some exciting pretend games and revival of lame pickup lines, you will be rewarded with a notion that the other person is just as ho*ny, desperate and willing as you are. -

But your theory completely relies on something taken out of contest. Rape is not a result of lack of sex. It's more complex than that- It's not just that you are oversimplifying, but your diagnose is wrong. -

pat smith:
what do you mean, those rapists simply couldn't help their "basic instinct" because there were no prostitutes around? that's quite a statement. human beings are sexual, and yet most will not resort to rape or paying for sex- -

LoyalPatriot USA:
Did you consider that maybe it's just an act? So you flew all the way to Amsterdam to have sex, and even then you had to pay for it. Is it too wild to assume that your impression of their content is simply wishful thinking on your side, and suppressed repulsion on theirs? -
