We are talking about it because three years later, prostitution is still illegal in the state of California, and that fact results in the contamination of the ranks of single/divorced men looking to partner up with women.

I want legal prostitution because I want to purify the ranks of men looking for relationships unmediated by monetary exchanges.

What prompted me to engage in this kind of train of thought originally was another post on here that mentioned a young man who wanted his gf to disrobe over Skype because he had sexual needs.

So, I thought, a young gentleman who is normal should, in my book, be expected to be able to excite the gf enough to want to do interesting things with him (ideally, without appearing recognizable yet naked on film unless the bf is very very very trustworthy).

He should not be talking about needs because this talk is miserable and pathetic. And very boring, too.

Normal men talk about passion and desire and not about needs.

It is fun to be with someone who desires you so much and, I imagine, it is not fun to be with a person whose needs you are called upon to meet (I have never done it, so I am using the word "imagine" here).

So I thought that the young woman whose first bf is such a loser that he cannot excite her to want to be sexual with him and instead relies on trying to get his boring and miserable sexual needs mets by her deserved a lot of compassion.

A few weeks later I found myself in this situation when a guy talked about needs and obligations. He wanted me to meet his sexual needs. It was my former friend/classmate (from the 1990s) who wrote that he spent money on dates and time on the train and I did not provide sex he hoped to get and by doing that I abused him, in his words.

That is how I started to wish for legal and affordable prostitution. Because right now, what can we say to guys who have "sexual needs"? One thing - go eff yourselves.

With legal prostitution, we would be able to offer an alternative to "go eff yourselves" for such guys. Or, even better, such guys would not even contact us at all.

Basically, I think that neither I nor other women deserve to deal with such men anymore but I do recognize that such men have valid needs for sex, so I want their needs to be met in some sort of a civilized fashion somewhere and I would not need to hear about anybody's unmet needs ever again.
