My wife and I were discussing this case the other nite. She thinks he's mostly guilty. I'm not sure but ever so slightly tilt that way while acknowledging that the case is very ambiguous.

My wife then declared about prostitution that "most women have some element of prostitution in their relationship with men at some point in their life however subtle". I was startled none the less. I wasn't sure if it was cynicism, realspeak, or PMS talking.

Subtlety is the key here. Showing up in public wearing a newly purchased $4M ring ain't very subtle!

If "prostitution" is defined as basically as "compensation for sex", then I suppose you could stretch that to any sort of "compensation", emotional, financial or physical.

Women certainly use sexuality to get what they desire, because it's one item most men cannot do without.

If it's expressed in a loving relationship though, it can't really be called "prostitution".

You're still alive and able to type. Not PMS...
