I would be shocked too. But the woman might as well ask the same question to her husband.

Not to defend the man but it could have been his first visit to a brothel.

They seem to have a problem communicating with each other.

Perhaps they could write it this way:

Did anyone else think this sounded like a joke of some sort?

"This Pol*ck walks into a brothel ..."

ETA disclaimer: I don't tell such jokes; I just heard a lot when I was young.

More like a case of ostension.

As it could have been her first day on the job.

Logically speaking, shouldn't she be the more offended? She's most likely doing it for money, which they both might benefit from. But he's using money that he could be giving to her to get affection that he could be getting from her. (Not that logic ever seems to have much buying power in personal relationships...)

Fair point.

Well, she has to decide between madonna/whore. Whereas a man just has needs, you see...

That wasn't my point. My idea was along the notion of any wife finding out that hubby had visited a brothel. In other words, the headline could have gone either way.

I'd have to say "So What?"

I mean, really, what do you go to brothels to do? Play candyland?

Having recently figured out that my ex was doing something similar (hiring a couple of "erotic massage" providers and one full service provider*) while having to ask me for money before he got every paycheck, I can attest that this financial feature will p*ss you off worse than anything else.


Screw around all you want, but please do it on your dime.


*after which he figured out he'd locked his keys in the car he was driving, which was MY car, and he broke out the small back window to get in. Then he blamed it on neighborhood kids.....

Having been to Nevada for business, regularly, for the past 4+ years, every time I visit I read the local paper and laugh, because the same "Help Wanted" ad appears in the classified section. There's an opening for a bartender/housekeeper at the town's most infamous brothel.

Lesson to be learned - there are jobs at a brothel, which don't involve sex.

On the other hand, the ad seems to run non-stop for the last 8 years because it pays a whopping $6.50 per hour.

Irving Wallace's "The Golden Room" contains a version of this scenario, in which it is indeed the first time for both - a young man is brought by his father so he can "learn how to be with a woman" before his wedding night, and his bride-to-be is staying at the brothel with her aunt, who as it turns out is one of the madams. Not that this adds anything to the OP, but I thought I'd share.

Or just made up to match at some point along the way - it's very short on detail, after all...

It sounds like the setup for a dirty joke. I imagine the punchline would be along the lines of her saying he told her to get a job, and him saying he was just trying to bring her earnings up.

edit: Is it any surprise that when I posted this I got this message at the top of the page?
