The Economics of Love : Sex according to Economics [Part III]
As with my ongoing proposals on the concept of girls and guys, relationship and their dynamics, according to the world of economics, I continue to the finally episode of The Economics of Love.
Here, I intend to sum up, conceptualize and defend all my insane ideas of:
1. Solving relationship issues; e.g. what’s the fate of the perfectly healthy man who lacks a mate.
2. As a result of (1) AIDS becomes rampant and how do I respond? Read my previous post [insert link to previous post here].
3. I disagree that there is enough market, if Air can be marketed, restrooms can be marketed, or even walking around is now marketed, I conclude that - let’s make an industry off sex…oh, I don’t refer to erotic services – mean real capitalistic sex services.
Like I’ve once comically mentioned, I’m a Modern Man-digital and well commercialized. It has been agreed that in this modern age, one of man’s greatest inventions has been the internet and of all ages, man’s sole confide - Sex. I would say: let’s bring together this invention and his confide and together we would not only solve the mystery of Love Economics as stated in Part I, we can as well cure AIDS as stated in Part II.
When I first made the proposal that having more Sex might in fact cure world of HIV/AIDS (see Part II), the major argument that has being made against it has been that: while HIV/AIDS seems to be the main STD making the news headlines, it does not underestimate the deadliness of other.
The argument continues, while I could easily push that people should have more sex, what are the chances that this folks who are about to follow my doctrine aren’t infected with other diseases such as gonorrhea, syphilis or the likes.
Or, as another quizzed, what is the chance of this two successfully coming together or at least achieving any of my proposed plans. And then, before any dismissal, I have again gone radical - I have suggested that let’s harness the power of the internet, that of modern internet technology and of economics and create Cyber-Sex networks.
Here’s the proposal:
A system (such as facebook, myspace or even Medicare; who says sex isn’t a need?) will be created; it would work in such a way as every entrant will be pre-screened and surety will be made that this person is definitely safe according to the tests of certified health centers. Here, participants who would love to curb AIDS/HIV would register and look for dates (NSA or whichever).
But wait! Before we push this any further, how about the fact that at the time of the actual contact, this person would still be as healthy as when registration was initially made. Then to this I would reply: This system would work on a ranking system where, apart from the subscription fee one has to pay, a constant certification and statement of health would be required.
And as we would let this system run itself, it would be adjusted in such a way that you have the option of submitting you current health status quarterly, yearly or bi-annually which affects your ranking accordingly from a ranking of “extremely risky” to “very safe” based on gathered records and other factor.
Now, for the economics portion, we can always guarantee that sex would be subsidized, probably certain and safe for members of this system.
As already mentioned, this system doesn’t necessarily have to be a website, it could work as a community sex plan, or maybe as a national sex reform act - depending on how radical one decides to get. For the sake of abstractness, I kept the idea simple.
The thought is radical - Yes! Impossible - Maybe. But if we decide to weigh the cost of preaching abstinence or condom use against overshadowing the “minute” STD infected people and a chance of fear-free pleasure - I’m sure, some would agree that even more sex is safer sex.
