We need to legalize prostitution so that an investor or manager who has these fantasies can play them out with professional help. If we viewed prostitutes as a form of health therapist and gave them professional respect rather than keeping them in the black market a lot of these guys could work out their power issues with a trained sex professional instead of creating these nightmares for innocent women who just want to do a great job or run a successful startup.
- fatbird 9y agoYou're assuming these guys see this as a problem. I suspect for most of them, the power issues are, erotically, the whole point. Why patronize a prostitute for make believe alpha male abuse of one's position when one has the real thing every day?
- dllthomas 9y ago> Why patronize a prostitute for make believe alpha male abuse of one's position when one has the real thing every day? Because it's a lot less likely to get you in trouble (if we make it a lot less likely to get you in trouble).
- fatbird 9y agoGiven the frequency with which VCs have gotten in trouble for this before this week, that doesn't seem like an important consideration.
- thehardsphere 9y agoPlus, if it really is a power thing, then paying for the prostitute immediately screws that up. They're paying, so they know it's not as real as it would be if they didn't. Maybe if you could pay prostitutes for them as a third party in some way, that could work.
- petraeus 9y agoWe need the Uber of prostitution!
- deepGem 9y agoAgreed, prostitution as a profession should be seen more as a therapy, than as a playground for men to exploit their darkest sexual desires. I mean, if you read some of the horrific experiences prostitutes undergo, it'll leave you with disgust. Bottomline, we men have to learn to treat women with respect and equality, regardless of their profession, period. This is portrayed superbly in Pretty Woman.
- collyw 9y agoTreating it as a profession rather than keeping it in the black market would probably go a long way towards reducing the horrific experiences.
- briandear 9y agoA trained sex professional? Are there schools for this sort of thing? How does one get “training?”
- rmc 9y agoPlenty of places have legal prostition. It doesn't mean that bosses don't get sued for sexual harrasment. (Prostitution should be legalised anyway, but maybe not for that reason)
