I'm sorry to hear about your trauma but it doesn't give you the right to impose your moral views on people and try to guilt-trip them as if they are somehow responsible for your mental state.
Imagine we had to conform to everyone's moral views and make damn sure we didn't step on anyone's toes: free speech would not exist. Hell this forum would not exist.
What's next? Someone writes a story about having a great time drinking with friends and an alcoholic reacts snidely and insists the author is responsible for his desire to go binge-drinking again?
"But thanks for reinforcing my reasons to ctb. I do appreciate that."
This is totally unacceptable. Nobody here owes you anything and no-one here is responsible for your illogical reasoning (person X went to a hooker and had a good time, some guys think it's great he enjoyed himself therefore all men are not interested in a monogamous relationship and only want meaningless sex, ergo you'll always be alone) and your feelings getting hurt.
Aslong as they don't harm others people can do what they god damn well please. How can you hold the opposite view when you frequent a forum dedicated to discussing one of the gravest moral sins in society? Many people would take offence if they knew what was discussed here, especially those who lost people to suicide. By your logic they're right and we're wrong and we should shut the hell up and conform to society's moral standard.
The fact that GeorgeJL had some meaningless sex with a prostitute (well not even meaningless since it did lift his depression for a while) does not mean he wouldn't be faithful and respectful to a woman he decided to have a relationship with. He did in fact hint in his original post he'd rather have been with a woman he cared about and not some stranger. Yet that's not possible at the moment so he decided to have a good time with someone who agreed to go to bed with him in exchange for money. Who the hell cares? If you're suffering from depression or anything else that causes great pain and are thinking of suicide you're hurting deeply: anything that takes away some of that hurt and makes you enjoy yourself even if it's just for a while is great and should be applauded provided others didn't suffer for it.
Whether something was amiss legally depends on the legal system where it happened but morally I see no problem with this whatsoever as there clearly was no violence or coercion. Unlike in your case which is totally different: what that person did to you was highly immoral and completely wrong. I really am sorry that happened to you and the consequences it had and has on you but it has nothing to do with what you complain about here.
Like Meretlein wrote: sex between consenting adults (for whatever reason) is completely different from sexual violence which is both a crime and a moral barbarity. No-one has the right to violate another's body, no-one.
Men generally like sex and both men and women are sometimes promiscuous but that doesn't mean that both men and women don't want to find love and a deeply emotional and satisfying sexual life with another.
I for one would love to find my soulmate and live happily ever after with her (including great sex and to my experience sex with someone you love is always better than a one time fling) but I don't think there's anything wrong with people enjoying themselves sexually when not in a relationship. Conservative morality that seeks to impose thought control, constricting sexual morality (monogamy for one), blind conformity and group-think on people makes me want to puke. It's the main reason I strongly oppose psychiatric thought control and the suicide prohibition.
I only had two girlfriends and they were both dealing with severe mental issues (one tried to commit suicide frequently and slept around, the other cut herself and had anorexia) yet I loved them deeply, was faithful to them and had a lot of patience with their issues. Does that sound like a man who only cares about (casual) sex and is only interested in using women for his pleasure?
I take offence at your unjust characterisation (which you pulled out of thin air as you simply don't know me, nor GeorgeJL btw) and your attempt to make me and others feel guilty for something that is only wrong by your small-minded conservative moral standard (having/wanting casual sex with a consenting partner, be it prostitution or something else) and has no bearing whatsoever on you and your mental state. We are not responsible for how you feel.
Get off your high horse. Your comment is as misguided as the view of the person you reacted to: this thread has nothing to do with sexual abuse or abuse of any kind. At least she has the excuse of getting triggered by trauma. What's yours?
This truly is rich: some bloke frequenting a suicide forum judging others... This is only an 'issue' in your conservative world view (which would preclude suicide btw). Most people would say it's nobody's business what people do aslong as it's consensual.
I honestly fail to grasp how anyone can be pro choice when it comes to suicide yet dissaprove of how others choose to use their freedom even when it doesn't affect others negatively. Given that a suicide usually involves at least some grieving survivors it would make more logical sense to oppose suicide than it would be to condemn casual sex or prostitution.
The only 'issue' (psychobabble btw) here is you being judgemental.
