In the early days of the Lazarus virus, all of the learned
talking heads predicted with absolute certainty, the end of religion.
There were no dissenting votes.
If you are lucky enough to find one of these early treatises in the
un-cataloged section of your university library.
They make fascinating reading.

Not one of them predicted the emergence of faith based Ladies Clubs.

A gentleman visiting a faith based Ladies Club,
must, at the bare minimum, be dressed in
a white shirt, necktie, sport coat, and slacks.
He is expected to wear polished shoes.
Once he has been buzzed through the outer door,
the next hurdle, is the membership card.

Unless the gentleman is recognized, he must sign a
membership card outlining, in great detail,
what deities, minor deities, Saints, virgins,
and Prophets he believes in.
If there is any doubt, he will be asked to read aloud.

All of this is the result of one fall semester, where every
fraternity house on the continent required new initiates
to visit Christian Ladies Clubs as part of fraternity hazing week.

Once he is deemed suitable the gentleman will be
led immediately to the next available room.
There is no socializing, no "invitations."
There will be a hangar, for his perfectly creased trousers.
The lady if she has not already done so she will, at this point,
climb on to the padded medical examination table.
Being careful not to tear the temporary layer of paper.

She places her heels in the gynecological metal stirrups.
Her vagina at the edge of the table, allowing the man
to penetrate her, as he stands between the stirrups.
Only their genitalia touch.

Medical clinics and nunneries dispensed with men altogether.
Devout women have a tube inserted.
A machine is turned on.
One cc of semen is pumped into her vagina.
Lazarus is deliriously happy, with the semen from
one hundred men.
Lazarus can not tell a penis from a pipette.

All ladies wear a "garment" a cross between grandpas
Long Johns, and a hospital gown, although not as sexy
as a hospital gown.
In the excitement of the moment the gown may ride up
exposing a belly button, but never breasts.

The walls are covered with religious images, text
and framed admonishments, that "inappropriate"
touching and language will not be tolerated.

Most ladies turned their heads away.
They never smile, or move their hips, they move their lips, praying 
silently.
Some ladies bring one of their husbands, freshly washed and ironed, 
white cotton, handkerchiefs.
They unfold the white rectangle, carefully placing it over their face.

White cotton photo technician gloves are provided,
so gentleman can avoid inappropriate touching.
In some establishments gloves are required.

Naturally, only gentleman with deep and abiding Christian faith,
will sign the membership card.

The frat boys having long since returned to swallowing goldfish,
religion is alive and well, post Lazarus, thank you very much.
	 _____

These same people who predicted the end of religion,
also predicted that Lazarus would end prostitution.
Not surprisingly this prediction was also one hundred eighty degrees
out of phase.
To be sure the old-fashioned, expensive, run by organized crime
sort of establishments, did indeed fade away.

What the talking heads failed to account for are cultures where
the little woman is expected to stay at home, as unpaid domestic staff.

Lazarus could care less one way or the other, this however does
transfer responsibility for the medical necessity to the man.
In the Moslem world, and in parts of Midwestern North America,
you can find communities with no volunteer Ladies Clubs.

In these cultures you find, resident Ladies Clubs.
Whorehouses if you're not into mincing words.
Volunteer Ladies Clubs are social institutions, women gather, exchanging 
news and enjoy each others company, the medical necessity is almost a 
side issue.
( At least they pretend it is. )
Residents Ladies Clubs are more efficient, fewer ladies, smaller 
facilities, lower over all cost.
Faster inventory turns an MBA might say.

The whorehouse is alive and well post Lazarus.

Do not hop into a taxicab in San Francisco asking for a
"men's club" at least not if you are expecting dignified
gentlemen, with mutton chop sideburns.
In London there is a possibility of finding what you seek, in
San Francisco you will be delivered to an entirely different
sort of establishment.
In the early days of the Lazarus, boyish looking girls found
they could earn fantastic money trading on their looks.
There has always been elements of the population, who complain
loudly that Lazarus is homophobic.
Lazarus is a networked entity, he lives in the interconnect, he is 
dynamic data.
Lazarus looks for his dynamic data, as coded protein.
And he looks for this coded protein, inside the female human body. *
Swallowing , hides information from Lazarus, as digestive enzymes
denature the protein before he can read it.
Other than that Lazarus doesn't care.
Lazarus, being a network, communicates asynchronously, and
bidirectionally.
Male to female, is intuitive, sperm is the network packet.
Female to male is less intuitive, Lazarus communicates as
a venereal disease.
This takes time, premature ejaculator's need to hang in there
and make small talk for three or four minutes.
Lazarus is not prudish, anal sex, vaginal sex all the same.

Very soon, specialized equipment appeared on the market,
helping boyish looking girls plie their trade.
Vaginal plugs appeared. On insertion, you pull on the tab,
( the penis and testicles ) which makes the device long and slender,
as the pull tab is released, springs relax, causing the plug to
become short, fat and lodging securely in place.
Synthetic flesh covers the mouth of the vagina, a small fox
boys penis and testicles adorn the outside.
Girls new to the trade wrap an ace bandage around their breasts
and wear a T-shirt.
Men who were unwilling or unable to meet Lazarus half way,
in the anus of a boyish looking girl with fox penis, grew old and died.

* bonobo chimpanzees, can also be infected with, the Lazarus virus.
A Davis Strait veterinarian, was the first to report this in a 
scientific journal.

	Sex on cruise ships

Pre-Lazarus cruise ships put hysterical effort into entertaining
their guests.
Post-Lazarus they still do, the only change is sex is now regarded
as entertainment, that is to say a necessity, as cruise directors view 
things.
Any cruises lasting more than two days must deal with the medical necessity.
Cruise operators have come to view this as an income generating opportunity.

The easiest way to deal with your medical necessity, is the room service 
option.
Guests sit at the data port inserting their cruise card,
bringing up the cruise ship homepage.
Click on medical necessity.
Sub menus give a plethora of options, schedule at a certain time,
view images, request a menage de twa, etc. etc.
If you're in a hurry or don't care, click on next available.
If you are female, there will be a knock on the door
in a few minutes.
Men receive a map quest, detailing how to find the ladies cabin.

The next option is the Ladies Club, all cruise ships have them.
Women get their hair done, put on their favorite dress and perfume,
sitting at a small table waiting for a gentleman to join them.
Larger cruise ships have multiple Ladies Clubs, for people
more comfortable with the dance hall ( whore house ) format.
Increasingly, cruise ships will rent circa 1880 dance hall dresses,
for women who do not bring their own.

The third option is, back to the data port, click on medical necessity
ignoring the big next available icon, look for the small
Roman icon.
If you don't have any special needs, once inside the Roman page, click 
on next available.
The computer will add you to the list.
Paradoxically, (you can't put a marshmallow in a piggy bank)
men generally find the concept of an orgy, less intimidating
than most women do.
This is a fortunate coincidence as cruise ship programs will try
for a minimum of four to one, men to women as it builds it's list.
When a sufficient numbers and ratios are achieved, wristwatches
will vibrate, cell phones will chirp.
The "regularly scheduled orgy", featured in the cruise brochure, is 
about to begin.

Cruise operator marketing people are fast studies, they have to be.
As soon as the industry began delivering "singles only"
cruises to Davis Strait, every marketing VP
spent a week there. ( At company expense. )
Studying "market opportunities".
They found their market.
It makes no sense to fly people halfway around the world,
load them on a boat, and haul them to the middle of an ocean,
so they can have sex. Bring Mohamed to the mountain.
All cruise operators have old boats destined for the breakers.
These old, small, obsolete boats got a new lease on life.

Cruise companies began aggressively marketing the concept of "separate 
vacations."
There are two products: the weekend cruise to no where, and a five day 
midweek cruise to no where.

The web pages are designed to appeal to men,
that is to say explicitly pornographic.
These are true the economy cruises.
There is no shuffleboard term tournaments, no first-run movies,
the cruise director doesn't knock over a wooden horse
shooting it with a cap gun.
There is no first night out gala tuxedo ball.
There is no formal dining, no sitting at the Captain's table.
People never see the Captain. More accurately they never realized
it was the captain next to, or on top of, them.
( Cruise operators do not attempt to enforce "no sex with guests" rules 
under these conditions. )

Single women get to cruise for free.
W omen's web pages are graphic and explicit as well,
there are images of women fornicating on their backs, with twenty naked 
men, watching, stroking themselves, waiting in turn.
(The caption notes the male to female ratio on a typical cruise is 
between one in ten and one in twenty. )

Women who like this sort of thing can "audition" with the cruise 
director, for a permanent staff position.
They get a shared cabin, room and board, and a small stipend.
They do not get to see much of the world, the whorehouse
begins servicing customers while the boat is still tied up.
The captain then takes his ship over the horizon, to slowly
steam in circles for two to five days, before returned to port
for a fresh cargo of horny men.
They stay tied to the peer, only as long as it takes to load and unload.
Women's magazines carry a surprising number of carefully worded
advertisements for these positions.
Some of them are not even carefully worded, with titles like
"Earn cash while he is away".
Everyone has heard the old one about the couple on their
"separate vacations": He was going skiing in Colorado.
She was going to visit a series of art galleries with friends.
The cruise ship was in the middle of the ocean as he visited the bordello,
only to find his wife on her back, pulling a train.
Some cruise operators advertised in "swingers" magazines
as offering "The ultimate adventure for the swinging couple".

After trying "free whores" everyone eventually adopted Vin's solution.

Vin had done what very few men ever do, he single handedly changed society.
Western civilization now has the "two bit whore" as a cultural norm.
