They Came From the Brothel

why is someone who pays for sex pathetic ?? to be honest, prostitution per se... i mean the act of selling your body (and conversely of buying-- it should actually be renting and hiring instead of buying and selling because its normally a temporary transaction)... anyway I was saying that I cant find anything per se wrong with this act... now in saying this I am assuming that it is not forced or out of economic compulsions etc... I mean the free decision to use ones body for making money by renting it for brief periods... whats wrong with it ? other than taboo... or other than human beings` obsession with making sex this mystery that must always be done in hidden places and with which is attached some very strange concepts like fidelity, honour etc.... Why ? I mean its ok to rent your mind and intellect as we do on regular, socially acceptable jobs.... and even ok to rent your body..as in physical labour....but not ok to make money by renting out your body for sex ??? Why ? Now instead of giving statements like ``because sex IS sacred`` or ``because sex is a symbol of this or that`` and so on ... can someone give me an objective answer ?

I cannot even imagine a man more pathetic than that who buys sex.

#13,

With shit I meant the content of this fancy dribble (not the prostitutes) and i guess `buyer`s regret` or what ever this author wants to project.

The content is shit.

Re: # 17


Oh, shove away you commie woman.....say something witty or funny for a change....really....have a nice day.......

Re: # 19
if i say something witty or funny, will you refrain from reporting me to India govt?

Re: # 21

Commies are scary people.I could report you to the US govt. and when they run out of tracking down the mullahs, maybe the commies will be next.

OR, if you promise you you ain`t the same hag who ranted against the teenage tennis player on the other board, writing this under a different nick.

You may say something witty or funny.

Re: # 22
Hmm ... and what price a creep who goes up to women on internet forums and speculates on their love life? Esp when he has no hesitation whatsoever in publicly likening his wife to a cannibal and spews venom against women in general and specifically those who belong to his own country?
Your biggest problem is not facts or opinions - its the gender and nationality of a person. Pls go ahead and write to The US govt and the India govt and the UN for good measure. I`d rather be taken off to jail [btw, dear reading and knowledge challenged person, being a commie is not a punishable offense in the US or in India] as a commie than roam free and be like you.

Re: # 25

You are a perverse and twisted woman.Who is meddling and commenting on the lives of other women?.People like you and this author.I respect every woman`s right to choose what she wants to do with her body.As long as she`s not forced into prostitution, if she is a prostitute by her own choice , she has a god-given right to be just that.And, i`m a creep?.I`m in Chennai on a business trip, and i hear they have a name for people like you , a female ``karuppu dorai``.

Re: # 29
you should choose your epithets more carefully - one does not become a karuppu dorai by finding you creepy or even by being a commie and the less you say about your opinions on women and women`s rights the better - you have written about those before, you know, and those posts arent deleted... and your creepiness is on full display every time you come on a board and end up talking sex even when the board has nothing to do with sex. Remember the boards on other topics when your entire contribution to the conversation was that you can get sex, even when the others were talking about entirely diff things? They have the same word for you everywhere - and that`s ``creep``.

Now why dont you write a letter?

Re: # 30

Learn to respect others` viewpoints and opinions.And what gives you the right to accuse me and call me `creep`?.Who are you?.Miss Manners?.Surely not, going by your own writing.I have the right to my opinions, right or wrong.If you don`t like my opinion, DON`T READ, DON`T RESPOND..If you do, then be prepared for my defense.

This article has nothing to do with sex??.....I quote,``The women had been sometimes beaten and on occasions forced to have sex with men who were old enough to be their grandfathers``.Unquote.

On other boards??.I comment on what i see.Don`t call me names like `creep` again and i`ll give you the respect you deserve.I`ll ignore you.

Re: # 31
about time buddy - look back and read your own posts... who first paid attention to whom? and as for respecting other people`s opinions.... LOL!!! This from a guy who wants to write letters to the govt. As i said, Read Your Own Posts.

and while you`re at it, read what other people write before you reply to them. And the ignore button can be found on the edit page.

cayenne # 15:

no excrement!

is that right? you guys must rock

now what was that with bal thackeray sahib and his daughter in law?

Re: # 16

I cannot comment on other`s personal lives , without first hand knowledge.Do you know something we don`t?.What people do in privacy, is their own business.

zuhair:

I am the Saint and the prostitute.
I am the virgin and the wife. ..

...you could have played with the title from bed to brothel but this requires a greater existential and mental leap...so how about from bed to bed-room to brothel... slightly less imaginative but may get the job done albeit with more of an incessant pounding suitable for the yellow dummy series?...ishtar goddess of love, war and fertility is a potent symbol...hmmmm...love and war lead to fertility in more senses than we know...or care to admit... i did a take on this some time back...let me google...ok here it is...wait...before i put it down here is a more recent take from my ilog:

akhtari begum
a smile, candy
bullion, stock
ghungroo,* mangal sut`r**
a price there is
on every head
n every body

innocent smile
thundering fatwa
reprieve from law
praise from the pen

sub kay sub hee bikao haiN ji***
said akhtari, unread but wise

* anklet worn by dancing girls made up of rows of tiny tinkling bells
** necklace made of auspicious thread and black beads worn by married hindu women
*** everyone has a price on their head

akhtari begum
shereeni ya muskurahat
zun hO ya zurr o zameeN
ghung`roo hO ya mungal sut`r
muta`aiyyann hay qeemat
her shehh ki, hers shaksh ki

pu`r maani muskurahat
garajta hu`a fatwa
tahaffooz e zul`m e sipah
moo`awenat e qal`m

sub hee bikao haiN ji
hushiar, magar unpaRh
akhtari nay kaha

and the older one:

ghulami
waq’t ki lehrouN ka toh’faa
ghung’roo hO ya mangal sut’r
zanjeeraiN haiN donouN hee
ik azli ghulami ki

slavery
gift from the waves of Time
ghungroo or mangal sut’r
living symbols are they both
of eternal slavery.

now a more pressing matter beckons...no not that!...;)

kaurasach says A shit is shit, whether it is lying in filth or in a ceramic toilet with gold plated trim.

i disagree!

* not all shit is manufactured equally
* not all shit comes out of the same orifice
* not all shit can be recycled (gobar)
* not all shit have equal rights, or equal pay for equal work
* not all shits dress similarly
* not all shits can be proclaimed holy ( tho` all holies can sometimes be...)
***

digression over...where was i?...yes, keep sharing
