      Ok so if you’re not handsome and successful etc, you’re just supposed to deal with it, being alone for the rest of your life. I’m sorry but some people need the physical touch/sex from another human being. This is a business transaction, deal with it and keep *Your* morality to yourself and if you don’t like this behavior don’t do it!.

        Sex isn’t the same as stocking shelves. And when men take advantage of women who are in this sex industry because their options are limited, it’s a sad commentary on those men. You as a man, don’t have a right to sex. So yeah, just deal with it. I wonder if you’d date a woman who wasn’t good looking or successful. Besides that, you’re paying for someone to sleep with you. I don’t see how anyone can enjoy something that someone else has to be coerced to do with them. But if you don’t view these women as any more then sex devices, take their humanity, it’s probably no big thing.

          Human beings are sometimes commodities. That is an anthropological fact, it’s just part of reality. People sometimes buy and sell sex: another immovable fact. Ideology does’nt falsify such facts. Propositions about what is the case are only ever true or false, never right nor wrong. If it is true that x has sex with prostitutes that’s just another mundane fact.

          Why commit oneself to so implausible and unscientific a notion as that such a fact is or is not in keeping with cosmic justice? Because that is what it must mean to be right or wrong in any sense beyond the merely sociological.

          The comment about “taking humanity” is senseless, because you mean it in some ethico-ideological sense. The only actual sense that could be made of such a proposition is trivial and obvious – if x is a human being before she is paid for sex, she is still a human being afterwards. Being paid for sex does’nt change your species!

          It’s true that no one has a right to sex, but only because there are no such objects as “rights”. And if x has hard cash, what need has he of so hazy and empty an ideological concept as “rights”?

          Is being a human “no big thing”? What sense would it make to answer either way? Why would being one kind of animal be a “bigger thing” than being another kind of animal?

          Your use of “coerce” is slippery. Sometimes prostitutes have no other option; usually they do have other options. When they do not, they are either coerced by other people, or coerced by impersonal circumstances. But in the latter case, coercion is probably an ill chosen word. If I had no choice but to get a job at Wallmart, I would’nt say that I had been coerced into working there.

          Besides, it is just another brute fact that some men enjoy sex with prostitutes. That you don’t see how this is possible shows only that your understanding is limited is this particular direction. Actually, I expect that if you made an effort you would be able to understand, since humans are not so different from one another.

      God these women are so revolting. I had to turn it off after 4:00 to keep from turning gay. Seriously, though, who could love a parasite like that, it would be like marrying a tick you found latched onto your leg.

    • GunsmithKitten

      You know who I feel almost as sorry for; the Thai males that get deliberately cut out of the equation just so, as the intro said, they can nail a “status symbol”. It’s not much different than this f’d up polygamy cults where the old men take in all the females, and expel the young men on trumped up accusations of sin early on to keep competetion low. Bad formula all around just so a few men can keep their jollies and a few goldiggers can look good to their community

    • Hugor Hill

      Very depressing but also an interesting look into the life

    • jesus’ wife

      I am a woman and did not find this offensive. Specifically because most of the men that marry thailand women are very lonely and have been rejected by american women. For those that go just for sex, thats a whole other issue and I feel sorry for them.

    • u mad?

      I went to Thailand last year. Had a girl for a week for 50€. She was smoking hot. Will go there again.
      I know haters are hating but you have to deal with it i guess because nothing can stop me. Maybe you’re just mad because you are trapped at home with a wife, or of course you’re a woman.

      • Rayne

        lol You’re a joke. You have to pay someone to sleep with you? Wow, something to be proud about. Soon as you leaves, she probably scours her crotch to get any traces of you off of her. I wonder if you even care about how damaging your actions can be to other human beings…and yeah…she is a human being.

      I feel sick.

    • Wiz

      Ok…then you’ll go down in history as the serial killer they called “the sex tourist shooter”

      • James

        You misunderstood, I am not going to. I should have said I want to in imagination. Perhaps that is a bit harsh. But I am so thoroughly disgusted by their actions.

        • Keira

          In all fairness, the women are (quite literally) asking for it though. You heard them – they want the status symbol of a rich foreign husband, who will buy them large houses or who will take them out of Thailand and into a rich western nation. None of the women seemed to care what the men were actually like – It seemed to be a financial decision for them. I’m not saying that it’s right or wrong, but it is their decision to make, and in their own way, they are using the men just as much as the men are using them.

    • James

      This video make me sick. I want to shoot every UK, American, etc that goes over to those countries to ‘buy’ poor women. All those men should be shot!

      This was pretty revolting :-/

    • Quixie

      I was captivated by the musical performances featured on the Thailand episode.
      Does anyone know who the artist(s) is(are) or if it’s available online somewhere?

      Thanks
