So what would you call this situation

Oh crap...

This is yet another one of those "If I were a multi-millionaire" deals...

I'd swoop in, make the high bid, then take him on a vacation to see the U.S. and Las Vegas, then hook him up with the best, kindest, er.. professional women I could find who would be fully briefed on his situation and anxieties beforehand.

I'd give him to Ron Jeremy.

Neolithic dildos... (no... really.)  

Those are personal massagers.  For those really tight spots muscles.

I don't find it shocking, just revolting that folks are willing to sell anything for a price.

And yes, Jamis, Freedom is at times ugly. But you'll notice I didn't say it ought to be banned or regulated or in any other way controlled by the gov. Just that I find it distasteful and not in keeping with my personal values. There are quite a few things like that in this world, but it's the business of the folks involved, and not mine. However, if someone asks my opinion (like this here thread) I'll give it without hesitation.

According to a list of terms and conditions the winning bidders cannot kiss the virgin, use sex toys, involve any other persons, expect fellatio or the fulfillment of any fantasies or fetishes.

Heck, you might as well sleep with your significant other for free!

Exactly. Humans are pervs by nature.

The battle between those who acknowledge it and those who want to repress it is where the trouble comes in.

But the simple fact that people are pervs really shouldn't shock people in this day and age.

Repress it?   
Well, I won't say "repress" but OTOH it doesn't have to be made a disgusting public spectacle.
"Get a room!!!!"


Just watched a videotaped History Channel documentary on Caligula so let's not get too far into what was displayed on Indian temple walls or old Grecian Urns.

^ see, trouble. 

Did anything in my post indicate an opinion one way or another about what should or should not be repressed.

The point was people are pervs.

And nobody seems to be arguing that, so I'm taking it that my opinion may also be fact.

People are pervs.

^More trouble!
I never said you said anything about what should or should not be repressed I said that Caligula should have gotten a room.





I think I have lost track of my thought process .........



But anyway, I'm pretty sure Caligula was a PERV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Note to self: no caffinated stuff in the evening this late.

You can't repress it until you acknowledge it. Let's do both.

A fool and his virginity are soon parted....

To answer the thread header, "So what would you call this situation?" I'd have to say the whole situation is a revolting testament to what our society is becoming. 

Yes.

Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

So what would you call this situation

"Tawdry" is the word that comes to my mind.  For all involved.
