(I initially typed ‘get-ho’; still topical). Just because a prosecutor wouldn’t pick it up and run with it doesn’t make it a pointless discussion from a philosophical or ethical perspective. I haven’t been suggesting there are real-world applications or potential legal implications. I certainly hope not - I love me a bathhouse, just spent 16 straight hours at one, walked out with 17 hash marks on my ass - and that was with it snowing half an inch of snow outside. Legal considerations and ethical considerations are often quite different matters (what you can do doesn’t always reflect what you should do). I’m not a lawyer of any kind (thank Christ - the equivocation would drive me insane) but I think a lot about ethics. I had been exploring to try and dig up that "kernel of truth" you alluded to. I'll leave you to it. Quote

If one goes to a brothel and pays the one running the brothel money (in the form of a cut from the paid sex worker e.g.) it is money that is exchanged for sex. If I go to the baths and pay money for my admission, I am offered no guarantee of anything other than my locker or room and a towel. I am not guaranteed sex nor even a flirtation as too many people who have frequented these places on an off night can attest. There is not even a guarantee that anyone else will be in the bathhouse. Yeah, I hear you on this. I have had more of a bust at the baths. Quote
