01/24/2005: "Economics of sex"
I'm reading a chapter on the economics of family law and sex law in my Justice and the Legal System textbook, and I've been raising my eyebrows the entire way through. He's the most questionable statement, however:
"...it is arguable that if [prositution was] closed to married men, such men would be more likely to seek sexual variety in forms more threatening to marriage -- for example, long-term liaisons that might lead to divorce and remarriage."
Long-term affairs are worse than a husband's visit to a prostitute? Who decided this? In my mind, visits to a prostitute, short-term affairs, and long-term affairs all equal the same thing -- violence not typically seen outside a Quentin Tarantino movie perpetrated against the offending husband.
I think I need to write my own book for this class.
