evenow, i do think you're right about the Las Vegas thing, i might have got it wrong.
draconis, in the program,the woman went on and on about how she has a license to practice this and that it is legal and all... and with what evenow says about it being legal in LV... it might be true?
the guy DID seem to have a problem with it... he just seemed to like the woman too much to tell her about it straight out and the woman was like NO, I HAVE NO REASON TO BE ASHAMED... NO I WON"T CHANGE FOR ANYONE... and things like that.
so i actually think that he doesn't like it... and is insecure about it, but he just likes her so much, and she is so determined and stubborn about it (well, i guess she's entitled to that since it's her life...), that he just doesn't have the guts to tell her I DON"T LIKE IT.
but like draconis said, it's a risk to their health... basically, their whole lives.
and what about children afterwards? specially after doing an international program like that... shouldn't the person worry about the labels or prejudice or persecution that their children might be subject to?
