So it's a little less sexy to carry a ledger around with you... Some guys might like that, hehehe.
Though, I'm pretty much down for legalizing and taxing everything...

I so wish prostitution were legal, so wish for it...
People who have sexual "needs" should not be allowed in the world of normal human relationships unmediated by money. In the world of normal human relationships not mediated by money, we can deal with people who have desires, passions, and hopes, and who can deal with rejections and subsequent disappointment. People who cannot deal with rejections and who have "needs" should be routed into legalized prostitution that would "meet their needs". There should be two streams of men - those who can deal with rejections and the whole wide world of women who cannot be bought and those who cannot deal with rejections.
Surely it can be regulated. Sex is very much like food - many people need it and it can transmit disease. So just as grocery stores and food service businesses are legal but regulated, so should be prostitution.
It is simply unfair to so many of us that people who cannot deal with rejections are allowed in the community. Prostitutes charge not just for the service, time, and skill, and a premium for risk, but also for the obligation to serve clients. They do not have the right to reject service and there is a fee associated with that. It makes so much sense.
This is what prompted this rant:
