Here is a question that perhaps I should have posed as a new thread, but why is it that Japan with some 100 million people and a very "open minded" society has few per capita sex crimes then the good old USA?

But for the oldest profession
there are those who have to work in the sex industry because--A: the have really no other choice for one reason or another. or B: because they want to because it is a business to them.

In our country we are so obsessed with "morality" that we attempt to legislate it. How long has it taken that interracial unions where accepted? Now we are finally looking at granting leagal rights for gay/les. to marry so they have leagal rights and protections as enjoyed by "normal"(sic) couples.

Granted it is sad that some women are forced or feel forced into the sex profession. And in my mind they are little more then slaves that I often wish I could help them.

When I hear the Rightious Right going off and damning sex--and the like, I wish I could give them say Alaska so they can have the Utopia
