@MiggyCW My point is that you're gone! Buh bye troll!

I don't know if I should laugh or cry that people think looking at the junk is an accurate indicator for STDs. Yikes! Reminds me of the people who think prostitution in Amsterdam is safer cuz the prostitutes are tested every two weeks. For one, only 5% are licenced. I imagine those are the only prostitutes getting tested. But every two weeks? There are many chances to get something in between those two weeks. I doubt they are tested for everything as well.

I saw the one you are talking about. That was crazy.

Penn and Teller's Bullshit did an episode on prostitution. They showed a brothel in Nevada (a well regulated one), and they showed one of the women working there checking the guy's parts before commencing service, just like you said that girl did in your video. I know you wouldn't agree with their stance on prostitution (pro legalization), but they did bring up some pretty cool points for both sides of the argument.

Its unfortunate they don't talk about why there's a taboo. I think talking about that aspect cuts through a LOT of the BS surrounding this issue.

I've watched the show Taboo, not this episode, but one about forbidden foods or something like that. I believe the title is about things that are Taboo, while relying on the audience to identify the subject as taboo without any additional information. For example for the food episode there was a dish in India, which I no longer no the name of, in which the fetish of an animal is removed and prepared, and I think they also discuss cannibalism.

@Dedgurlsingblu Animals have fetishes? xD

[Dedgurlsingblu]

@eljagg01 Sorry, that's a typo. It should be fetuses. It was early and I was both tired and working on one of my sexual health articles... I can't multi-task to save my life.
