what do you think of the idea that marriage is "glorified prostitution"?

Answer 1

What I think is that you have a hole in your head and it's keeping your right brain/left brain from functioning correctly,or at the very least you haven't finished a half way decent education.

As for the Neanderthal "glorified prostituted" marriage idea, well, that's really just another way of calling yourself a pimp who sells his *hore and moggy brats out to pay for your brothel.

Thanks to the "no child left behind act" you might still have a chance. You can also go to the library and check out a book called "where there's a will, there's a way" to becoming a Cro- Magnon man.

But for the rest of us evolved Homo sapiens, it's really a matter of you getting a job and keeping it. Then working to take care of your wife and kids (evolved technical sapiens or 'techies' as some call them) by providing a nice home and meal for them. In return, you get to call them your family and gain some self respect.

This is usually the most widely accepted "idea" of marriage for the most evolved species. It's rarely about sex but "forsaking others" as well as "honoring, loving, and cherishing" your spouse.

Ahem, did you get that? The next level of Homo technicus will spawn materio sapiens, so you'd better hurry up and get to the library before you end up in a museum. LOL.

Answer 2

First I must tell you that I am 65 and never been married but I have to laugh at your prognosis when 90% of married men seem to no longer be interested in the marriage bed in fact if they had that and a days fishing as a choice I think the fishing would take precedence.

My present partner and I live separate lives in separate houses and our relationship just grows stronger so each time we see each other we are like young lovers. (twice a week)

I' m under no illusions that marriage not only kills the excitement of the chase but makes two exciting people boring.

How, therefore can marriage be "glorified prostitution"

Answer 3

I think thats a bit strong, but I am annoyed that I might have to get married so that my children and I have some security if anything happens to my boyfriend even though we have been together a life time and are having children.

So I think some people do it for practical reasons, like tax and wills and all having the same name. I do not want to get married as I do not feel the need to lose my identity as an individual but I also feel pressured to do it for legal reasons.

Glorified prostitution,...to who, the woman or the man? What if the woman works in a paid job and the husband is a house husband? is it still prostitution or does it change to "glorified escort" then.

Everyone is so individual, it will be perfect for some but not for others, there should be an option for people who want to show how long they have been together without having to fork out thousands of pounds for everyone else to party, and then if it doesnt work out, fork out thousands more to reverse the whole thing.

I got engaged the christmas before last and we havent even discussed marriage as I dont want to get married, it was just a show of commitment that cost alot of money, I do not want to spend anymore proving our commitment to other people. We know and if it wasnt for the law, that would be enough.

Answer 4

If one is then I would imagine that two people have made a terrible misjudgment! Both the man and woman would have seemingly made mistakes in character, relationships, and goals. Any normal marriage should not be demonized as "glorified prostitution."

Answer 5

Glorified? no. Prostitutes don't have to take crap from the men they sleep with. They get paid for giving sex. Some wives don't get a single cent for giving sex, cleaning house and taking care of the kids and the husband. All the wives get is a roof over which to be slave to their husbands and kids.

Answer 6

I don't agree with what you suggest!. Iv always thought that prostitution is all about paying for sex! while marriage is about love commitment! with sexual pleasure being part of a close relationship!.

Answer 7

No legalised prostitution except it costs you thousands of pounds to get very little sex, and unlike a pro you still do not decide the act for all that you are paying for

Answer 8

Must be your idea, and its kind of dumb. People have sex, its natural. You would`nt be here if not for it. Married is the "moral" way. I`m married now, but it was good before that too. Try it, you might be too busy to ask stupid questions if you do.

Answer 9

Last I heard, it was love and respect for each other for the rest of their natural lives. Where do you get such an ignorant idea. You are getting just as much as she is getting out of the relationship. Quit acting like a royal jerk!!!!Grow up!!!

Answer 10

I think you are talking out of your butt!

Affairs are glorified prostitution!
