I see your points.

Beth has since opened my eyes to some considerations that I had not addressed/was not aware of when it comes to the real situation of the women. I was not looking at the problem from the women's angle. I was looking at the problem from the men's angle, and what got my TOTAL agreement was mostly the end of John's post:

using prostitutes in a responsible way is arguably far better than being a womanising prick that treats normal women in a cheaper and more disposable manner, by f**king and chucking them and so on. Using prostitutes on a regular basis is also better than falling into a loveless relationship with the wrong kind of woman for the sake of a regular guaranteed sex.

This part of his post, I still and always will solidly agree with.
