ORIGINAL: AAkasha What is ridiculous and I think a few posters have pointed out is that you take a broad issue that is extremely layered with so many factors involved in it, and try to put some weird insight together... Ummmm... that's called "thinking"... quote:
ORIGINAL: AAkasha and then go to Google Images and find cartoons or pictures that support your idea Ummmmm... that's called "humor"... quote:
ORIGINAL: AAkasha -- yet you come from a place that you don't grasp a great many of the basic factors at play. Ummmm... that's called "learning"... quote:
ORIGINAL: AAkasha Case in point: Ok so you say what people are willing to pay to satisfy their sexual urges. Actually, we almost unanimously agreed that the payment is decidedly NOT for satisfaction of sexual urges... quote:
ORIGINAL: AAkasha You get hung up on the dollar amount and trying to quantify that and explain it. Ummmmm... the whole point was that the order of magnitude of that dollar amount tells us something important ... quote:
ORIGINAL: AAkasha You take human sexuality, infidelity (in some cases), human addiction (in some cases) and lump them all together and try to get some consensus Ummmm... see above. It's called "thinking". quote:
ORIGINAL: AAkasha so you can go Google some images and go "oh! Ok now I get it!" -- No. For the third time already. The cartoons in this thread are merely an attempt at humor, which shouldn't need to be explained to you three times. quote:
ORIGINAL: AAkasha But take out the PAYING part completely. Instead look at how much men are willing to risk LOSING by sleeping with a woman that is not his wife or partner whether he pays or not. This is a perfectly valid point. The overall punitive COST of the sex is, to some men, astronomical. quote:
ORIGINAL: AAkasha How much is he rolling the dice? Losing his lifemate, kids, family, respect of his peers, half of his money or worse? That's far more than $4,000 for one night of pleasure yet how many men (and women) are cheating to get their urges satisfied. Indeed! quote:
ORIGINAL: AAkasha Now do you lump those guys in with the guys paying for sex? This will take deep thought because it may be as simple as assigning a very large true-cost index to the already expensive sexual act, or, it may be a lot more complex than that, because of probability assessments. A "probability assessment" complicates evaluating the true cost. To illustrate, let's say Eliot Spitzer has a 95% chance of not getting caught when he's fucking his expensive hooker, and only a 5% chance of getting caught. Furthermore, if he is caught, let's say the cost is his entire career (which is a fair assessment of the cost), plus his marriage, and a few other things (like houses) that are part of the marriage-dissolution process; but, if he's not caught, then the actual cost is only about $4,000 for that one night. Given those probabilities, how do we calculate the "true cost"? quote:
ORIGINAL: AAkasha Because a lot of men would NEVER pay for sex on ANY level, but will risk far more than money to have sex with someone who isn't their partner. Yup. Let's say a guy is in a bar, drinking with his friends, and a cute babe asks him to go upstairs for a free fuck. A. What's the cost of that free fuck? B. Now, what's the cost of that free fuck if she harbors the HIV virus? Which do you think the guy will choose?
