Why are people agiants prostitution?

Post Reply New Topic

I have no religious beliefs and I'm not married to my bf and he provides me with absolutely no material wealth.

I have a dislike of the idea of prostitution and I always have done. I would be more upset if my bf went and used a prostitute than if he had an affair, though a lot of women say the opposite. I can understand him wanting more than one woman, but the thought of him seeing sex as something he can buy, I find that distressing.

I can only describe a feeling that I have. Someone's body and their sexuality is priceless, to me. If the roles were reversed, I like to think I would still dislike prostitution. I dislike it when women pay for boyfriends in the Caribbean. I know that's just a feeling and has no basis in reality. I think some people understand this feeling and share it, and some people don't. Neither side is correct.

That said, for practical purposes, for harm reduction, I don't oppose the legalisation of prostitution.

Duh, the women make themselves into objects, by making themselves something people can buy.

Thats mostly older, lonely women. Who have some money, and want some big meat. The guys are very poor, so they know they can use the old women for money.

Practically speaking on the view of whether prostitution should be legal, people do not want their city to become the next hotbed of sex tourism.

Personally speaking on the view of whether I would use a prostitute, I believe I would be disturbed by the idea that I had sex with a woman who didn't like me. The notion would hang over me like a cloud, especially since I haven't had any luck with women to begin with. I also would face disapproval from family, friends, and prospective girlfriends. I'm not in enough of a hurry to have sex in and of itself to add the complication that this is something that could lead to the sudden end of a relationship, or the straining of ties with my family.

The ethical arguments are the most complicated ones because they're always founded on various premises that people may reject. For instance, do you believe in the categorical imperative? Alternatively, do you believe that the ethically correct course of action is solely and exhaustively determined by the ends that would result from it?

Curiously, trafficking in Amsterdam actually increased after prostitution was legalised. It is hard to say what the cause of that is exactly, but it certainly casts doubt on the convictions some here hold that legalising prostitution would decrease the level of trafficking.

The view that people should be allowed to sell sex for money if they want to is also typically based on shaky assumptions, for instance that people desire to act in a manner which is best for themselves.

Its sending a message of "you're only worth it for my sexual pleasure". When you pay money for something, you're doing it to satisfy your needs or desires. And for the prostitute, it comes to the dilemma of whether to have sex for pleasure or money. I doubt the prostitute ALWAYS enjoy having sex with ALL of their clients so it comes down to the fact that sometimes, they have sex just to earn a living and it would be pretty much "forced upon" (you still volunteer or "consent" to the sex, but its all for the money).

That's bad logic, though. It's like saying we should ban salesmen because it sends the message that they're only worth it for buying things from.

Fine. but the second part I explained really clearly right?

It's just another way of making a living, so long as it is their free choice

I have no problem with prostitution. As long as it's a free choice by the persons engaging in it. For some people a business transaction is easier, better and just as satisfying as a relationship.

Take the moral and legal issues out of it and it's no different than any other business.

Legal is legal and that's not going to change.

I don't think someone should burden me with their idea of what's moral. Morality is purely subjective.

what about manwhores?

do you call males prostitutes?
or are they generally escorts or rent boys or something?
i never thought about it before.

They're called gigilo's. I do like the word manwhore lol. I think if a male is in that kind of profession, they're usually male escorts. I don't think they necessarily have sex with woman, its just a companionship thing. I wouldn't mind doing that for a mature lady who wants a toyboy, if she was hot, I wouldn't charge a fee

I disagree. Its this kind of thinking that stuff like the Holocaust happens. I could say more on this topic, but thats all I'm gonna say for now.

taken to an extreme sure, but we're talking about a little slap and tickle not genocide.

Anything that is illegal is going to be criminal and wrong and unsafe.

If prostitution was legal, these woman and even their clients would be getting medical check ups and woman would be treated a lot better. It isn't renting a human.

Its paying for a service.

You saw that episode of Family guy, too?
