To be honest, while I don't agree with prostitution necessarily, I can see where it'd be useful for China. After years of the 1 baby-per-family indoctrination and enforced abortions and all that, many Chinese families decided to have boys rather than girls. As I understand it, they have a completely warped man to woman ratio now. Disposable men, as it were. Probably part of the planning so they could have plenty of "subjects" for their army, whatever.

The thing is, that's a lot of testosterone that their "socially engineered" society can't support. Imagine if about a million of them decided they were "grumpy" because of the inbalance and took it out on the government?

Ok, it'd be a good thing. Yet the Reds understand that they could be sitting on a powder keg, and figure they'd better accomodate the need rather than impede it, or they'll be finished.

At any rate, I'd not deny a man his manhood. What occurs between a man and woman in private is not necessarily my business. That's when the issue of morality kicks in though, and it's not like the reds have a chance on this one.

We're not doing so hot ourselves these days either...

Gee, that's awfully thoughtful of you. What about denying women their "womanhood"?

Good point. In such a situation, prostitution is almost a demographic necessity.

China will implode all by itself, sooner then better!

I had a professor once that claimed revolutions occur when men outnumber women. And during the time of our own revolution there were many more men than women. Perhaps China understands.
