Ack, another 14 hr day. Just got home. Boston was really sunny and warm but I missed most of it!
I've been thinking a lot lately about how sex and politics keep coming together. Eliot Spitzer. A politician. A really good one. Total alpha male. Of course he's a horny guy. Buys sex from an attractive gal. No violence, no coercion. She makes more in one visit than I make in 6 months after bills and taxes.
Apparently we're supposed to think that he a virgin and she's either some helpless victim or some slut. Not a gal who made a reasonable choice not to be poor. As if we think that guys don't buy sex every day or think about buying sex.
As if every Congressman and attorney in every state capital and Washington doesn't have some cute young thing working as a paralegal.
I think we're afraid of sex in this society.

well said.
and helliot would still be governor
if he weren't a hypocrite (and if wall street didn't hate him with a passion).
when he was AG, he prosecuted 'prostitution rings'
that tears it.
now, i don't agree that all us alpha dogs think about buying sex every day.
we think of having sex every minute.
but some of were raised with pride
and some of us were raised with sisters, moms and grandmas
i cannot even go to strip clubs, because of my tendency to see a woman as a person, rather than an object
stupid me
not that i am not a dog
i am just a sensitive kind of woofer
and yes, i would support a unionized sex workforce (women and men!)
