My new Dating Pool

Yeah, I'm starting to believe that the illegality of prostitution is maintained simply to herd males onto the road to marriage. I've known all too many men that cave to marriage because they're tired of chasing tail and think by getting hitched they'll be getting regular no-hassle sex. If hookers were legal and socially accepted I'd probably stop dating, schedule missionary for Friday, doggy for Sunday, and sit back and enjoy it without worry of the "what are you thinking?" question post load-blow.

That reminds me of something I read that was written by Neal Stephensen (in Cryptonomicron). Skip to the second paragraph for the main point of it.

"Mrs. McTeague (and other old ladies like her all around the world) does the laundry only because it is her role in the giant Ejaculation Control Conspiracy which, as Waterhouse is belatedly realizing, controls the entire planet. No doubt she has a clipboard down in the cellar, next to her mangle, where she marks down the frequency and volume of the ejaculations of her four boarders. The data sheets are mailed into some Bletchley Park type of operation somewhere (Waterhouse guesses it's disguised as a large convent in upstate New York), where the numbers from all round the world are tabulated on Electrical Till Corporation machines and printouts piled up on carts that are wheeled into the offices of the high priestesses of the conspiracy, dressed in heavily starched white raiments, embroidered with the emblem of the conspiracy: a penis caught in a mangle. The priestesses review the data carefully. They observe that Hitler still isn't getting any, and debate whether letting him have some would calm him down a little bit or just give him license to run further out of control. It will take months for the name of Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse to come to the top of the list, and months for orders to be sent out to Brisbane-and even then, the orders may condemn him to another year of waiting for Mary cCmndhd to show up in his dreams with a teacup.

Mrs. McTeague, and other ECC members (such as Mary cCmndhd and basically all of the other young women) are offended by easy girls, prostitutes, and whorehouses, not for religious reasons, but because they provide a refuge where men can have ejaculations that are not controlled, metered, or monitored in any way. Prostitutes are turncoats, collaborators."

Curious Johnny - do you always "call the shots" or do you let the girls offer suggestions on where to go and things to do?
