Is not slavery.
(Unless there's a pimp involved)

It is consenting adults engaging in pleasures of the flesh at their own risk.
Let's face it. Some people just want to get laid.
When you're 20 or 30 or 40 that's a given.
The whole world revolves around this dance between the sexes.
Most do it to be content in a relationship but it's the sex drive that gets them there first.
All other relationships become "friends".

I find it odd you should bring this up as a topic, rather than a flame.
From the photos, it looked liked older black women and younger black men.
To me this is no different that older richer men with their much younger girlfriends/wives or whatever they pay for when others aren't looking.

I have no idea who Jim Crow is, not do I care to google him.
As for adding the "carbon footprint", that must have been an attempt to be funny?
Because if you were serious, then it's statements like that that lead me to believe you really are repressed.

BTW, I'm not surprised with your article. I think it follows womens' "liberation" to some extent. I may not find it offensive, just a comment on human sexuality. Those women must have some good stories to tell when they get back home. I bet some even "fall in love".
As for the men, they are "cheap" so to speak, but if money is that scarce ,then it's just another opportunity to get what they need......without violence or incarceration.
