It's all nonsense either way. The morality of sex depends entirely on individual circumstances, and the good of a relationship does too.

For instance, let's say you are physically handicapped and unattractive. You've never been touched by a woman, and beyond the kindness you see in friendship, you've never experienced intimacy with one. So you go to a prostitute, and for an hour, she gives you those things. Is this a "cheap and disposable" relationship? Does the fact that money is involved somehow change the impact this might have on the disabled person? Is it possible that you can enter into a paid relationship that is beneficial to you spiritually, emotionally and physically? Of course it is. Time and again you read of prostitutes taking a genuine liking to their customers - it is a business relationship, but that doesn't mean you can't be friends and have meaningful interactions. That doesn't mean affection isn't there. Often it isn't, sure, but sometimes it is.

In regards to more standard sexual interactions, sometimes you just have a primal attraction to a person even though you are incompatible with them for something more meaningful. Basically, your pheromones are compatible, and that's it. Who cares? There doesn't have to be anything more than that, and it is perfectly natural and moral to engage in such activity.

As far as relationships go, again we see it all depends on individual circumstances. There are lots of people who stay in unhappy relationships for bad reasons. But there are also people who understand that relationships aren't easy, that you can fight and disagree for extended periods all while maintaining a deep and abiding love for one another. If you look at marriage statistics, it is absolutely clear. When everyone was getting married because it was expected, divorce rates are high (around 50%). But now that this expectation is gone, most of the people left getting married stay together - upwards of 70%. This shows that marriage, monogamy, long term relationships depend on the person. Some people want that, others don't. Now that we don't force it, they are sorting themselves out nicely.

typical exploited elitism. the divorce rate for most people is still high, only college educated people have seen a decline in the rate. this divorce rate--and low marriage rate--in the worker class has helped fuel the soaring inequality in america. but to exploited it's all f**k roses
