Document Summary
Been married for 20 years, getting old, wife doesn"t find him attractive, don"t sleep in same bed, still want sex; don"t have an affair/use prostitute because they can"t maintain anonymity (ex. Tiger woods sex outside marriage causes a problem you get caught!) Have to learn the behavior from someone else. Tearoom men not satisfied with marriage, learn solutions from other men: humphreys: men learning environments provide new definition of sex. Have weak bonds in marriage/family; living in unhappy marriage. Jail is not the answer: crime-reduction strategy: social policies that improve family life, provide social networks among lonely individuals, reduce marginality and deviance > Sweden > teenage mothers more likely involved in property crimes and prostitution good money; sweden reduce sweden"s teenage mothers through sex education. More abuse from pimps and customers: comack (2004): canada is characterized by a feminization of poverty .
