Chancellor Angela Merkel found nothing wrong of Gov. Spitzer setting a date with a high-end sex laborer in Washington. We quote her: "You should come to Germany for that kind of thing Spitzer! You know it’s absolutely legal here. You know, it’s legal in Nevada as well! Be careful what you might answer. I heard in your country people like to eavesdrop on private conversations!"

In this fictional conversation between Merkel and Spitzer, we should add that he’d get the blessings of the Pope in the Renaissance when Catholic Church used to run brothels for financing its evangelical activities. And sure enough Emperor Caligula would have invited Spitzer to spend an afternoon of bacchanalia in the Roman palace.

We don’t need to cite historical examples when prostitution was overtly legal. Rome for example paid most of its capital cities expenses by running public whorehouses. Prostitution is legal in Hungary, France, Senegal, Austria, Denmark, Greece, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay, Venezuela, in the United States (Nevada and Rhode Island), Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Australia, and New Zealand.

It’s known that soldiers during the American Revolution were treated by sexual favors from heroic war-front harlots. The history of the conquest of the West would’ve been completely different without those women. Should U.S. deny its own sexual record?

Hey Governor Spitzer, with so many places to buy that kind of favor that all men crave, why did you have to do it in Washington and tell your wife about that in public? You forget to follow the rules? Don't worry Spitzer, a guy named Bill survived a "Blowgate"!

Let us not be hypocrites! It’s a known fact that both married men and women have their hidden sexual needs, which are not always fulfilled at home. That’s when such cravings are likely to surface, or even the routine of the daily meal into which one is inevitably bound to get a bit boring, thus making them go to different restaurants.

Polygamy and polyandry (poly=many, andry=men) are common marriage patterns around the world and monogamy is not the only rule. And all these three forms of sexual unions are normal in the human race. Governor Spitzer’s scandal condemnation should not be viewed as being absolute truth. It’s only a result of social conventions that seem to be truer than scientific facts.

So, why do we need control over sex? Supposedly, society needs sex control in order to establish bonds of trust among males. Take for example, Polynesian societies. Before the arrival of European conquerors, Polynesians had a rather lax sexual restrain. Some men would take another man’s wife every now and then and create havoc in the community, breaking down bonds of loyalty and trust. That kind of behavior didn’t affect much Polynesian social stability until the Europeans arrived and they had to come together to fight a common enemy.
