Amoebas to Epstein

 

Living creatures need to reproduce.

Even amoebas, split in two. Whether it gives them pleasure or pain is unknown.

Female seahorses deposit their eggs in a male pouch. "You take the kids, dear, I'm off doing my thing."

Mammals have their own habits. Many can only reproduce when the female is in heat and I suspect they enjoy it.

There can be frustration. After our in-heat German Shepherd rode in our Spitfire convertible, one or more of the hopeful males sitting on our lawn ate through the roof. By then our dog was in the house wistfully looking out the window and asking to go out to her followers.

I watched a male cat strut off after mounting a female, who lay down. I swear she was smiling. Also made me think of the lyrics from the song You don't bring me flowers anymore. "After loving me late at night, you just roll over and turn off the light."

Now to the human species. Most humans want sex at various times from infrequently to as much as possible. 

Sex, a 100% natural thing, has been burdened with all sorts of rules. The Catholic church said it was for procreation. Virginity, which has more to do with who is the father of the offspring, than anything else, is considered major in many religions. 

The arrangement of a couple also varies from don't you dare to  what my partner doesn't know, won't hurt him/her. 

I wonder what arrangement my middle-aged colleague had with his wife when I chose to have lunch in the Pâquis area of Geneva. Although it's the red light district, it is also home to several five-star hotels, families, top restaurants, the American Church, a past Swiss president and the English library. It stops at the lake. My colleague was walking off with an obvious hooker. 

How did I know it was a hooker? In cold weather no one shows that much of a body. Also I'd seen her many times before standing on the street trolling for clients.

His eyes met mine. I didn't greet him. Neither of us ever mentioned it, but in every meeting for the next four years we worked together, he not only agreed with me, he was a cheerleader.

This brings me to Epstein.

Sex between consenting partners  is one thing and should be okay. Incest and rape is not okay. 

When I look at the photos of alleged leaders in different areas be it politics, business or education with Epstein and women, I feel sick. The older women may be there by choice or not. The younger ones are not.

I see men who are like little boys with a toy, a toy that will be damaged. Whether or not the toy could be repaired is in doubt. Even with reparations that toy will always carry scars.

These men should NEVER be allowed anywhere need a leadership role not because of some religious rule, but because leaders should not damage others for personal pleasure.
