One of the companies I work with has recently started a big push into Canada, having been U.S. only for most of their existence. We've had many formal and informal discussions lately on the differences in Canadian society. Some of this has centered around the relative legality of drugs and prostitution.
In the vast majority of the U.S. the hobby is severely curtailed by law enforcement, so much so that the average American male doesn't partake due to fear, high expense (poor value), and massive inconvenience. Consequently those horny males have few options but to put up with all of the enormous crap necessary to get laid by a civilian. This dynamic places young women in a position of great emotional and material power over men. Such is life.
I'm only a sample of one, but many of the males I have met casually and professionally in Canada admit to seeing SPs of some type, and i would assume many more partake without disclosing it. It is very convenient to do so, the legal risk is absurdly low, and the social stigma attached is far less than south of the border. By simple (and possibly flawed) logic it would seem that this would make it easier for Canadian males to say "f*ck it, I'm not taking this crap anymore just to get laid, I'll just go to an SP". But I don't see this.
In general the average Canadian male is less assertive and more submissive in relationships than the corresponding U.S. male - or so say my many Canadian female acquaintances with great regularity. Maybe that's just what they say.
For a long time I have been of the opinion that the availability of SPs legally empowers women financially and socially by giving them greater control over their destinies, but does lessen their power as a group romantically. In other words, if a guy can get sex easily elsewhere a woman needs to have more to offer than sex to attract and retain a mate.
Again, as a sample of one this has certainly been the case with me personally. It's much tougher for a woman to string me out and twist me when I can pick up the phone and have mind-blowing, head-clearing sex with a hot lady of my choice.
Does a freely available SP base alter the male<->female power dynamic?
