Of to the Vandersexxx!

I imagine the Arab states would respond even more heavily on the topic, what with beliefs extreme enough on sex to put the old-school Puritans as looking like sex-happy hippies in comparison.

Well, at least no one of the Arab States tries to come of as the Land of Freedom and freedom for everyone (except gays) like America does. Nor do they try to convince children in high-school that it is wrong to use condoms.

I remember last year when we lived in the United States that I was reported by someone because I had a condom in my locker, and thus my locker was searched and I was sent to the principal who under a lengthy speech told me how bad it is for me to have a condom, as it makes my fellow students think that it OK to use condoms to protect themselves. What he did not mention during 15 min of monologue was that it was illegal for me to have sex as I had just turned 15 (and it is legal in Denmark to have sex at this age). Instead he started to preach that condoms were wrong and they give an impression that the school allows sexual activities.

Though when i tried to tell him that while the school accepts and allows smoking (in certain places) for the students, is more dangerous to both those who practice the effect of smoking (and people around them through secondary smoking) and that more people in the USA and the world gets more health-related issues through smoking than people get from having sex with condoms. And that it is just naive to think that 15-16 year old's do not have sex, so then it is better to protect oneself than having sex without protection. And that I have been taught - in school - when i was 14 in Denmark always to use a condom when I have sex as it protects me from most sexual transmitted diseases as well as is a good protection from unwanted pregnancy (I think he was getting quite frustrated when I said this and that I actually knew these things). Not to mention when I mentioned that you see at least one student each day that smokes pot either on school or when they go home.
He threw me out later with a note to my parents, and when they read it they just laughed and asked me if I always use condoms when I have sex and was happy to know that I do. Then I was told to ignore the Principal's arguments and asked by my mother not to shock any teachers again as most americans can be considered to live their lives in a happy bubble in which they know that their teenagers do not have sex (even if they themselves had sex at that age).

So what I want to say is that in this, yes I am a quarter arab (quarter israeli and half danish), I know the laws and rules according to the Qur'an and I have studied the hadiths so that I know how to act and what to say and not to say when I meet my grand parents. I can quote the Qur'an to you about the laws and rules when it comes to sex. But I understand that you only felt threatened that I tried to make a joke about USA and their view of sex (taken from a movie called Eurotrip). It was not my meaning to actually insult anyone.

But it shocks me that a land that is so devoted to freedom and especially a country that could form something as wonderful as "The summer of Love" and the Hippie movement also can be so narrow-minded and condascendent when it comes to talk about sex (which 90% of all teens that are old enough to play this game, already knows and even more. I mean in USA it is quite accepted/out in the open with all strip clubs and such things in communities and in modern movies that the kids know about sex from a very young age. So I believed that I was home free to make a little joke and was interested if anyone would know the movie reference.


But to go back on the topic of this thread:
Yes an escort gets a lot of money according to the book, but then again I believe that the salary listed is the High-end luxury escorts who caters to the high-ranking officers and politicians. Not the run-of-the mill prostitute. Or maybe a "famous" prostitute with a lot of customers in one night can earn that much. But I hardly believe that any hooker can get that much money in that time.

I'm sure she can accommodate many more customers and if you add a service fee to her cyber-doc and maybe a few MOM implants *wink* we should be good to go. Eliminate the pimp and the STD-concern altogether and combine them into a multi-personality? Let's say she does boing-o, crash, and a few others -- she could effectively accommodate an entire search & rescue team -- replete with dog-boys and dead-boys.

"Your PC has just had the snot beaten out of him by a cyborg sex worker for attempting to 'jack her like an ATM'. If this isn't bad enough, her pimp turns out to be a CS major, and he's just shown up with a squad to see who was dumb enough to give one of his girls trouble.""
