This is one point in the spectrum of arguments in favor of sexual socialism and/or treating sex as part of healthcare. We're already really close, with "access to sex" arguments being made, famously by Sandra Fluke, as part of the maelstrom over healthcare delivery and health insurance here in the US.

Theories abound. I'll share some of my own, since I share this paraphilia (but don't act on it to people's detriment, like the person in this story did):

There may be a difference between men and women in the intensity of sexual desire they generate and experience internally.

Phew, really? I already do this for women for free. I mean, I sometimes get something out of the interaction, too, but it's not an outright trade.

Other than the good looking part, there are plenty of eager sub guys out there!

One is a palpable, directed threat. One is not. Love it or not, there's a distinction.

Screenshoted and reported. SB police might be visiting you soon.

Does it come with a bottle of poisoned wine that you can leave behind to take out the homeless creatures that go out harvesting bikes and parts?

I really want to put a pulse jet onto a Harley, just as a noise maker, and then take it to Sturgis. No one would dare tell me it's too loud, since that's a cultural axiom there. I just think it would be funny to see a bunch of people wincing and trying to play it off like it's not painfully loud, because they HAVE to.

So what you're saying is that the actual truth of the thing matters?

No no no, don't encourage people to do this. It is a huge compromise in quality. It's a detriment to technological progress to consider this as OK.

Multimeter. With a current clamp.

Hardly. It's all right there for people to see, although I suppose you could go back and delete or edit your comments.

You really should have a look though that book. What you're doing is what the author calls "invalidation", where you're trying to hurt the self esteem of someone else to try to help your own self esteem. In this case, there's plenty of context for a wounded self esteem to be writhing for some soothing.

More attempts to malign me. I'd like to recommend you read through this book:

It's cheap, short, and very insightful. From this interaction, I estimate that you would gain from it.

There's the fingers-in-the-ears.

They've been talking about this for a while in New York, under the awesome name of Project Hydra: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn1190…
