Many years ago, I purchased a new Porsche for my then wife. I borrowed it one evening to make a quick run to the store, the same one my wife always shopped at. There was a cute young gal who bagged and took the groceries out to the car. Whe she saw the bright red Porsche, she said "ohmygod, you must be B___'s husband. I just love this car. I'd do anything for this car, I mean ANYTHING!" Now I don't know if that was a come-on or not, but my thoughts were, you'd have to do ANYTHING  a whole bunch of times for that car. Let's see, $40,000/200=200 times. It got me to thinking about the real value of services rendered, and whether the marriage thing is really a good deal, strictly from the available sex standpoint. Before everyone gets out the computers, calculators & slide rules, it's really a rhetorical question. There is no way you could calculate it or compare apples to oranges. But it's still food for thought. I have calculated what it would have cost me for a good provider for all the times I got decent sex from the wife, and the provider route wouldn't have been such a bad business decision. Since I,ve done both, sometimes in the same 24h, I am obviously not that concerned about the brilliance of the business decision. YMMV.

If I follow you correctly here, the sex you are having now is better and it still provides the means for life's little extras, like a 911. A more direct approach. From the other side of the coin, I like the direct negotiation a lot better as well, which may go a long way in explaining why I like this hobby. Besides being always horny!

is like comparing apples to Barney.

If someone ever seriously considered this line of thought, they should be looking through the Yellow Pages for marraige counselors.

It's a "Guy" thing...

with cyberchat is you can't hear the chuckle! But you do have to concede that obtaining sex is a very large factor in the implied marriage contract. Don't even try to argue otherwise, except for a relative few cases, sex may not be the only thing, but it beats the hell out of whatever is in second place!

That should add a little to the providers side of the equation.

Interesting thought, hrnyguy. I tried the marriage thing and am completely convinced that I'll never do it again. I can hobby til I die and, after my bitter and costly divorce, it'll probably cost me way less.

I'll take my chances dying alone and happy.

Hey Man - that's what we got married FOR!

Oh, and OF COURSE...obtaining regular sex is the NUMBER ONE factor...hopefully with someone you want to love for the rest of your life, though.  

Romantic til I die.

obtain her half of the fortune.  Then he can marry who he loves, who is in it for the money, after which she can marry for love, who is in it for the money ... That's how the world goes around.

Too many "Civies" bitch, piss and moan nowadays. Who needs it when you have one of these young gals ride you home!?
