After I looked up shoe dyes last week and found one with a photo of a dildo instead of the actual item, my Amazon front page features that exact and rather striking image.

Scale?The real question here is not how the wrong picture got in there; it's why the dildo is next to a soda or beer can.

This has been known for many years, but now they've confirmed it!This paper studies how the presence of adult entertainment establishments affects the incidence of sex crimes, including sexual abuse and rape. We build a high frequency daily and weekly panel that combines the exact location of not-self-reported sex crimes with the day of opening and exact location of adult entertainment establishments in New York City. We find that these businesses decrease sex crime by 13% per police precinct one week after the opening, and have no effect on other types of crimes. The results imply that the reduction is mostly driven by potential sex offenders frequenting these establishments rather than committing crimes.

It is a perfectly sound piece of Christian theology that prostitution is the lesser of two evils. Of course when the mainline Protestant Churches get taken over by women they immediately work to ban alcohol and commercial sex.In human government . . . those who are in authority rightly tolerate certain evils, lest certain goods be lost, or certain greater evils be incurred: thus Augustine says: “If you do away with harlots, the world will be convulsed with lust.” Hence, though unbelievers sin in their rites, they may be tolerated, either on account of some good that ensues therefrom, or because of some evil avoided.
I'm more practical than I gave myself credit forNow I know why I keep my fingernails trimmed short!
Why would a straight male not consider these practicalities?Since I'm a straight male I never considered these practicalities
Why would a straight male not consider these practicalities?
Because as a male I never had long fingernails. Mine are short by default. However as a teenager ... I suddenly remember secluding myself in a quiet corner of the library with an early gay how-to book and reading about the necessity of short fingernails for the unimaginable practice of fisting. That made a deep impression on my young mind (no pun intended)Why would a straight male not consider these practicalities?
Iirc high testosterone levels increase the incidence of being bald. So bald guy -> more testosterone -> stronger sex drive...I hate long, dirty fingernails on a man. I have no idea why some blokes are bothered about being bald, I honestly don't care and I don't think many women do. On the other hand, long, dirty fingernails...

Can I pretend I didnt hear that?Not quite true, the testosterone levels will be average, but it's the body's reaction to those levels that causes baldness. Learned that from Doctor Harry Hill (and he would know).
Long nails indicated the idle rich - the same as a pale (not sun tanned) complexion.
Suntans didnt really become fashionable until the 20th century with Coco ChanelPerhaps in the 18th century! Some of us are literally white or red with no in between whatsoever, no matter how much we labour in the fields...
