If the government could easily collect taxes on prostitution, it would be legalized so fast... :knuddel:

Some very judgmental responses in the thread (also some who couldn't care less).

Greg Raymer can do as he pleases as far as I'm concerned. I believe he is a good guy. Everyone makes mistakes. He is dealing with the consequences now anyways I'm sure.

Thou shalt not judge, unless ye be judged yourself (don't know if I worded that correctly).

Though he did come out and say it was women he was interested in no men. Find that hard to believe!! Sure his wife is thrilled either way.

In normal country his wife would kick him out from home for 2 weeks, then he whould beg to come back, and it will be all ok after month.
Man going to prositute is not a big deal imo. Immoral and sinful - but not much worse then watching porn lmao.

Its insanse that they will be prosecuted. And its insanse that those guys are now in tv and media even before they are actually sentenced...

In europe even in countries where prositution is illegal - no one will ever prosecute you becasue of it, because police and courts prefer to focus on more serious crimes.

I fell bad for that guy. His reputation is ruinded becasue his little dirty secret is now known in whole world.

Also they in fact did not sleep with anyone! It was an STING operation. This is seriously out of touch. He did not done anything yet. Just an intent for sleeping with other woman [99% of man have such intent LMAO].

His wife should take care of this case. Not the courts or police.

You actually think this is going to have some sort of impact on the poker world???:confused:

Yes, to an extent.

So you figured Greg seemed very strange?

Yes.

Where & how'd you get that impression of him? (from a few minutes on your television screen?).

Yes.

Only really strange people grab a hooker?

Yes. Strange people need to & have to get hookers in order to get some.

You are being sarcastic. Right?
Pretty sure he's just real naive (or out of touch with reality)

I must be a different kind of wife, because if my husband was caught trying to get a hooker, that would be the last he'd see of me!

Could be wrong but I believe the main reason it is illegal here in America is due to AIDS and other diseases. Sure part of it is the US wanting a cut but also disease was huge in the 80s and early 90s and they are still living in that world. Of course the way it would be run these days (tests before every client) and so on would make it much more safe.

Agreed from the husbands' POV as well. If I were to get caught with a hooker I would HOPE my wife would leave my disgusting ass!

He's a dude and he has needs. Probably not getting it at home. What's more he has the cash to f around so why not. More common that people think

Here's an excellent article by Nolan Dalla about the situation. I'm sure that most of us will agree with what he has to say. http://www.nolandalla.com/

Yes I skimmed over the article. I like what the writer had to say. Thanks for posting it.

I really don't care what Mr. Raymer does in his free time, nor is it my business.

i could see you not sleeping with him till he got tested but if your married and got kids together it would be that easy to just up and leave? to end it all??

what if you had not serviced him in months men need sex women like it but they don't need it like we do. if we go extended periods of time without it we become mentally unstable.

not condoning what he did but its easy to say that on this side of the fence.

hell yes id drop my gf in a second, I dont have kids but even if i did people dont need to stay with someone just because of them, plenty of separated parents whose kids get to see both just fine. saying men need sex more than women is stupid. if not having sex for a while pushes you to cheat, then you are a massive scumbag

This is just kind of sad all around. For Raymer, and his family and his kids. Hopefully, it will get resolved and he can just move on and focus on poker again too.If Ex President Clinton can have recovered and moved on, while he was president, then I,m sure Raymer can too:)
