    By some strange coincidence, I just finished grouting my shower so you have some idea of where I stand on the issue. First, I care very little about what other people think about my habits. Second, I like doing things for myself. Third, besides the money, I saved all the hassle of finding someone who does quality work, and having them in the house making a mess.

    But aside from the genetic factors, no sex that involves voluntary and informed consent is per se a bad thing.

    In this culture, money is approximately equal to power. If you make that substitution in the question, then the answer seems clear. There are other sources of power, for instance knowledge, or association. That’s why it is generally recognized that education leads to a ‘better’ life, and why networking is a common practice in business.

    Economics. If what you suggest would bring in more money, they would do it in a heartbeat. But it won’t. Ask any MBA…

    I knew a mother who did that, and it wsn’t really sexual at all. It did work effectively, and as far as I can tell, there have been no after effects from it. She only did it until he was about 6 months old.

    I don’t think that your premise is correct, at least as it pertains to class. It may be valid as to some demographic groups. The prospect of upward mobility has long been an important aspect of the culture in this country, and many immigrants have come here just for that possibility. Both Hispanics and Asians, as societies, seem to believe in and take advantage of that potential. In my experience as a secondary school teacher, only Blacks actively disparage this notion as a group, considering it to be an abandonment of their own culture.

    What you are, I suspect, is a pretty horny teenager. Girls a few years younger than you are less threatening than your agegroup peers. There is an abundant supply of acceptable 16 year old girls with smallish breasts. Don’t necessarily expect your current attitude to be a permanent condition.

    They don’t, as a group, you just notice the ones that do.

    If you can, in good conscience, be subservient to a boss at work, then you can be also with a sexual partner. If you’ve become agnostic, then you have taken on the burden of making your own moral judgements, and then living by them.
