touch is considered illegal if money is exchanged in much of the world. <br /> [Bold added for emphasis] Thankfully, many places now recognize that legal sex <br /> work is better for practitioners, clients and the community. Countries in Europe, <br /> Australia, New Zealand have revised laws. And in California the sexological <br /> bodywork and surrogacy programs have legitimized those doing healing sexual <br /> work. <br /> Topic-Views on sexuality for children: <br /> I know a woman who was dealing with a child custody issue with her ex-husband <br /> and the judge ordered the woman not to be naked in front of her own children! <br /> And this was in California, supposedly the center of permissiveness and sex- <br /> positive culture! I cannot imagine what harm it would do for children to see their <br /> own mother naked. I can understand that a father or others would not want <br /> children to see their parent having sex, I may not agree, but I can understand <br /> it [BOLD added for emphasis]. But I cannot understand linking nudity to <br /> sexuality. <br /> Until we have more sexually explicit videos that portray a different approach and <br /> type of sexuality, this is what we will deal with in our culture. Why not allow <br /> children to watch loving, sensitive beautiful lovemaking? If they are not interested <br /> they will not watch it. If they are interested, why not show that instead of the <br /> millions of mindless sport-fucking videos out there? <br /> And rather than attempt to distinguish sexual healers from prostitutes, let us <br /> leave the whole either/or baggage behind. Who is to say a person cannot have <br /> an amazingly beautiful experience with an escort? Some may be freaked out by <br /> a supposedly enlightened, sensitive tantrika with lots of credentials and <br /> testimonials. <br /> These are just small samples of what is in the book and these are by far not nearly as sexually <br /> explicit as many portions. I stress this book, his book, is hosted and made available for free on- <br /> line by Robert. The views expressed seems to still be his views or presumably he would have <br /> taken it down. . Taken in its entirety along with Robert's stated wishes for a sale to a <br /> "likeminded" party, it becomes clear that the "sex-positive" culture building that is seemingly a <br /> large part of his life' work, isn't about to just vanish because he has a Special permit, even if it <br /> prohibits these behaviors. This is his life's work we are discussing. Given Robert's efforts to <br /> conceal this through most of this permit process, it becomes incumbent on the Planning <br /> Commission to address this in a manner that will insure compliance with County and States <br /> laws about public nudity, sex in public, sex-for-pay, etc. <br /> Even if the State of Hawaii wants to allow sex-trade related activities, is this the right place? Is <br /> Robert the right face of this? Given historical events under his tenure it is hard to imagine this <br /> working out positively. Such an environment without independent rulemaking, oversight and <br /> review is a recipe for sexual exploitation at best. And while Robert has been the focus as the <br /> applicant, we are not suggesting that he is somehow doomed to be the direct cause of a rape or <br /> some exploitation, etc, but rather such an environment attracts dark forces.
