Army captain calls for prostitutes to visit soldiers on the front line to relieve stress
The Daily Telegraph
PROSTITUTES should be sent to the front line to “service’’ Australia’s combat soldiers and help them relieve stress. That is the opinion of a female Australian Army Captain who is currently on deployment in the Middle East. She also wrote that if the front line was too dangerous for prostitutes, troops could be given sex toys instead.
Her article “Sex And War — A Conversation Army Has To Have” was posted earlier this month on the Army’s official Land Power Forum blog and removed several days later. It said chiefs were too “nervous” to talk about sex in the wake of a string of military sexual scandals.
Captain W, wondered “whether the Army could contract Australian male and female sex workers to service troops in forward operating bases and air bases.”
These would be the same as the official Field Mobile Brothels the French military deployed around the airfields of Dien Bien Phu during the French Indochina War in 1954. However, she found there were “moral, legal, practical, medical and logistical barriers” to putting sex workers in the line of fire.
Instead, she urged Army chiefs to loosen the rules on fraternisation to allow willing soldiers on the front line to “have sexual relations in a safe, secure and controlled environment”.
“Another option the ADF could consider is facilitating safe and regulated sexual satisfaction through other means such as providing masturbation facilities or issuing sex toys,” she said.
She said sex helped relieve the stress of “loneliness or prolonged absence from family, friends, partners and spouses” and the exposure to bombs and killing that came from deployment in a war zone, adding: “Improved intimacy and sexual interaction can help combat veterans with PTSD recovery.
Dave notes, in the U.S. Navy prostitutes have been furnished to sailors per the testimony at trial in the Phoenix Goddess Temple case by Dr. T.M who was contracted to provide the prostitution services - via Israel - as I discussed at length from the trial. The point was the positive healing aspects of "sacred sexuaity."
After hearing of the testimony in mid trial, the DOD sent a plane to get him out of Phoenix and back to his home apparently upset that the information came out in public at the trial. I was standing next to him in Court at a break when he got the call from the DOD and had lunch with him and other supporters.
