Uhm, no.
A). Prostitution is legal in the entirety of the Netherlands. We dont give a crap about your opinion.
AII). Also, guess who earns money on tourists coming for the pot n hookers?
B). The big clubs in amsterdam are beeing shot down due to moneylaundering
C). With prostitution beeing legalized, it is possible to you know, figure out weither or not someone is treating their employees fairly. If you dont, you lose your permit, which yes, would force you into the shades. In the shades noone will look after the way the employees are treated.
D). If legal, we get to tax things! Yay, filling the states coffers!

I believe you, since you live there. But that's not what The New York Times, Newsweek and The Economist say.
It wasn't my "opinion." It's what's been reported. Numerous times. By numerous sources.

You know, I think I can truly thank the internet for the fact I am neither shocked or disgusted by videos like '2 Girls 1 Cup'.
Thankyou, internet.

Watching relatively attractive people having a lot of fun playing football/poker/piano wouldn't stop me from wanting to do those things in person. I really only ever found my partner lacking in comparison to a porn actress about ten years ago in my first relationship when I was too young to know any better, but a decent talk between us sorted it out in fairly short order. I'm not saying that it doesn't happen, I guess I'm just trying to say that if it does then there's got to be a dialogue between the two of you to clear things up.

there's a small bit in fargo rock city where chuck klosterman talks about why so many teenage boys are obsessed with strippers and porn actresses, and the book as a whole has absolutely nothing to do with this (it's actually about his love of 80's hair metal), but he still makes a pretty neat point regardless. basically he said that guys obsess over these women because of the fact that they are fantasy women - but that's actually all they are. so his girlfriend complained because she felt that she was supposed to be his fantasy women, and he kept trying to explain that while he loved her and thought she was really super fantastic she could never be his fantasy woman because he already knew lots of stuff about her and thus had to acknowledge her as a real human being no matter what. and it didn't mean he would rather be with a stripper or porn actress than her, only that strippers/porn actresses/models/etc are intriguing to hormonal teenage boys because they give off that fantasy woman, i'm-not-actually-a-real-person quality that actual real life girls don't have. it makes sense i guess, i could understand why a guy would enjoy porn but at the same time still not hold his girlfriend to those expectations. or vice versa with a girl and her boyfriend i guess.
i think i would still be uncomfortable with the idea of a significant other watching porn, though, but mostly for hey-most-porn-is-really-fucking-terrifying reasons.
