Well, hey there, sailor!
Life 06/04/2003 |In an unusual act of patriotism, a Nevada brothel is offering free sex to troops returning from the U.S.-Iraq war.
The first 50 servicemen and women through the door will receive a sexy knockoff of their military-issued “TA-50” kits of personal hygiene items. Instead of toothbrushes and soap, Hof’s kits contain condoms, lubricant, an adult magazine and a certificate for free sex. Thirteen men and three women in uniform have shown up so far to claim their gifts. All told, the free and discounted sex will cost Hof about $50,000 — a worthy sacrifice, he said.

p>Okay…so maybe there are some benefits to joining the military!
Actually, in addition to the humor factor of the story, I was rather impressed that thirteen men and three women have taken advantage of the offer so far. Good for them! Most of the time in our culture, women don’t seem nearly as free to express their libido as men are — even in movies, those women that do are often portrayed as disturbed in some way (think Basic Instinct or Fatal Attraction) — it’s always nice to see that tendency being shaken up a little bit.
Personally, I’m all for women expressing their libido more often.
And more obviously.
Especially around me.

I heard a story on NPR about this, and many service persons have taken advantage of this, including at least four females. I have a predition - though I hope I am wrong. I believe, as long as the males went, there would be a wink and a nod, and a “boys wiill be bouys” attitude. After all, the government ran sonme brothels in WWII. I believe people will be up in arms due to females using this service.
