Why are people agiants prostitution?

Post Reply New Topic

It's a cultural thing. Sex is considered sacred, and women who have sex for money, and the guys who patronize them, have always been looked down upon. To me, most relationships are transactional. There is no unconditional love involved... Often the unspoken contract between the two parties is sex for money.

For example: for 1000's of years, men have work outside the home at dangerous, terrible jobs that shorten their life span and waste their lives. Why? To gain money for the purpose of attracting and maintaining a mate, presumably for an intimate physical relationship. How is this different? The real difference is that the upkeep/overhead in this type of relationship is unlimited and sex is not even guaranteed, unlike prostitution where you pay once explicitly for sex.

That being said, I'm mature enough to have realized that real adult relationships aren't based solely on sex, and it's more about finding a life partner than anything.

I don't understand the whole "everybody's a prostitute" argument. No, not every relationship is based on affection for material wealth or other favors. If my husband is not in pain at the same time that I'm not in pain, and we're in the mood and the kids are asleep and the planets are all aligned and everything else that needs to be a certain way, we have sex. Otherwise we don't. It has nothing to do with who's paying the bills or who gives what gifts to whom. It just doesn't work that way.

The main reason IMO? They can't file a 1099. The risk of them being slave labor, blackmarket, human's sold on street corners by ex-KGB. That kind of thing.

IMO - like the drug problem, if government *really* steps in, pimps become obsolete. At the most they just might have to compete against other girls who have a better flare for marketing.

I believe Prostitution is Okay as long as the person who is engaged in prostitution is not forced or manipulated and doing it totally of her free will.
But in many cases, the prostitutes are in debt or in some type of financial control which was caused by the third party.
and Many of the prostitutes and sex workers are also chemically, emotionally, psychologically, mentally controlled as well for profit and sex.
I am not against the prostitution as long as the women have been medically examined, free of STD, free of financial debt or any type of coercion from the third party.
Often the men who use this type of service from women are not medically checked for potential STDs or Viruses. and Since many of the women in the sex industry do not have opportunity to choose her potential client, it puts her in an extremely vulnerable position where she could be abused and given diseases. If sex workers were given equal position and be able to be “choosy” about the client, it would be much better situation for all of them. but often that is not what the clients want. They do not want to be rejected by the woman of their choice, hence they go to prostitution in order to enjoy their time according to their plan.
I believe there are enough willing women who are content being in the sex industry in the world that you don’t need to coerce or force someone into doing it. I think that is extremely uncivilised and down right criminal, which should not be accepted in any civilised society where women should be protected.

What's wrong with prostitution? Probably because having sex with different men you don't know is risky and it's a way to catch a disease.

Only if said woman is actually comfortable with her job choice.

I have considered seeing an escort a few times, but as much as I would do it, I don't want the stigma attached to it, so I have never pursued the idea. I think it's a good outlet for men who are having a little trouble in that department, provided there is mutual consent and respect from both parties.

I do not really have a huge distaste for prostitution. The crime and illegal trade related to it, though, is rather bad.

I would personally never use a prostitute because I see sex as something emotional and unique. I would not like to degrade that feeling by simply exchanging it for money.

I was a prostitute for many years. The flexibility of the job allowed to to be with and financially support my children as a single parent. I'm not religious and see nothing immoral about it. It is not however a job for everyone. I'm at a stage in my life where I couldn't do it anymore. I was too jaded. Seeing men cheat on their wives, even have the balls to talk about them- yuck! Though I had many clients that were just very shy and unable to meet someone. I didn't mind seeing them at all. I found the conversation quite pleasant and their manners very good. I think prostitution has it's place and will never go away as the demand will always be there.

I was treated far better as a hooker than I was as a waitress. Some may think it's degrading but I never felt degraded.

I don't think I could ever go back to it. I'm no longer a single parent, my children live with their father and money just isn't a huge priority for me. Doing such a job makes having a relationship impossible and I'm quite happily dating someone.
