I support whatever you do. I have been to a unisex bathroom. I have been to a hot springs. Relationships between men and women should always be respectful.

The whole idea of my having to pay for intimacy seems to undermine the sincerity of the event.

I can't make love to someone I am not attracted to, the equipment fails to work, euphoria turns to dread.

But, knowing too that I am just a John would feel as distant and lonely as a senior citizen without any means of support in a foreign country.

Relationships relegated to this interchange defeat the purpose. They are a whisper in the ear of shamed.
