Intimately connecting with those of the opposite gender as well as with the same gender. I am not talking sex here, but rather connecting in the realm of good boundaries. Healthy relating with others isn't sleeping with them. It isn't to just "get off". Then we are perverting our own human dignity for something of less quality than what we are intended for. <br />This isn't a "Christian" ideal rather it is a moral, respecting of one another. Human rights? I believe that as we take in to count the dignity of all people, what about those caught in sexual addiction and there seems no way out? Just as in gambling, there is not advertising campaigns promoting help for those who are addicted, there doesn't seem to be much emphasis on campaigns for sexual addicts. Maybe the bath houses should give a percentage of what they bring in to help those who are sexual addicts?<br /><br />We are feeding a culture which says it's okay to just sleep around, with little to know regard for the emotional and physical and spiritual component that happens to that person. Holistically speaking, it really isn't healthy, irregardless of who we are an inherent species. <br /><br />I believe we have fallen short with healthy boundaries regarding how we relate and treat one another as human beings.<br /><br />Specifically speaking, believing that abstinence is a practice and a value that we have quickly thrown away for the mere sense of immediate pleasure. Gone is the good of waiting.kennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904244664671087589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14546009.post-79208377343506675962009-10-25T03:31:19.637-05:002009-10-25T03:31:19.637-05:00As with any innate nature, it is neither right or ...As with any innate nature, it is neither right or wrong, for it merely is what it is: engrained within the inherent species. The fact that establisment caters to those needs is another matter. As a public venue, it should and must be subject to Local Building Codes to allow Occupancy by Civic Authorities having Jurisdiction. Unfortunately those same codes do not cover 'Bath Houses' and this loophole should be changed to reflect standards that are universal when it comes to Public Safety. There are two ways to go about doing that. Lobby your City Counselor to change the regulations or run for a seat at City Hall to change the regulations from within. As for not wanting the Bath House to exist, that runs into a Human Rights Issue which will take you longer than your allowable lifespan to resolve. Thank you for not quoting the scriptures in your comment. I would have been ridden with guilt had you done so.Caliban Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17796532886900405077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14546009.post-60260602764828954302009-10-21T10:10:18.367-05:002009-10-21T10:10:18.367-05:00I want to apologize for my first paragraph on my f...I want to apologize for my first paragraph on my first comment.

Seriously, did you read the article and take time to ponder the words spoken? <br /><br />If it is the innate subversive libido-driven "needs" of mankind, does it make it right or healthy? When you say libido driven you are saying that we are only driven sexually and that if this is our "need" we are in serious trouble. I think we are so much more than "libido". <br /><br />First, the bath house...is not a house, it is a facility that is a basic outlet for sexual encounters.<br />It should require the same fire regulations as any industry. It should require health inspections, specifically due to the fact that there is bodily fluids excreted on a regular basis.<br /><br />Second, yes, I would prefer to have the facility not open period. Not on the basis of personal views, but on a society health level. It isn't healthy. Why are we applauding unhealth?kennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904244664671087589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14546009.post-15845159419178936392009-10-16T22:30:05.992-05:002009-10-16T22:30:05.992-05:00Is it that you want the 'houses' to have t...Is it that you want the 'houses' to have the same Fire Regs as the rest of the service industry or would you prefer a complete alteration of the innate subversive libido-driven needs of mankind? If it is the former, then the esoteric devices remain. If it is the latter, the premices are no longer required. Your manifesto isn't clear on this.Caliban Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17796532886900405077noreply@blogger.com
