A court in Japan has ruled that a husband who sleeps with another woman is not committing adultery if the sex is a business transaction.

The ruling was made after a man's wife sought ¥4m (£20,830) in compensation from a club hostess who had a long-term sexual relationship with her husband, the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun reported. . . . .

As long as the intercourse is for business, it "does not harm the marital relationship at all" the judge said. "Even if the wife is disgusted by the act, it does not constitute a legal offense," the judge added.

Obama will appoint this wonderful brilliant judge to the U.S. Supreme Court.

What about a wife who sleeps with a male prostitute? What does the judge say about that?

Most Japanese men believe that going to fuzoku (prostitution) isn’t legitimate sex. Most types of fuzoku “ban” intercourse but everything else is game.

She also happened to mention to me that her friend had wondered if going to a prostitute while you're engaged is considered cheating. His feeling was they're never going to see each other again so what's the difference. But that is a subject for another sermon.

I hate living in a world where judges think they are gods.

Even worse, where people WANT their judges to be gods, and empower them to act as such.

Photoshop is an amazing tool! Let's just say I have a very particular set of skills, skills that I have acquired over a very long career. One photo plus another photo = ...

I didn’t think they have sex in Japan. It’s so last century.
