"You’re a disgrace, but for now, how much for a B.J.?"

I’ve never been able to find anything wrong with the concept of prostitute and prostitution. Prostitution doesn’t hurt anyone; It helps sick, out-of-shape, old, or whoever who can’t find a partner for a need that can’t be ignored easily. It might even help reduce abuse: Imagine this guy who really wants to have sex but can’t find a partner and there is no such a thing as prostitute; Don’t you think it’s possible that some of them start abusing people around them?

Prostitution is not worse –if not better- than many jobs out there. Compare it to these guys who buy and sell stocks, wearing lovely suit, carrying genuine leather briefcase, walking in wall street, stealing girls’ hearts, and being respected overtly by the society. That guy’s hand probably shakes from being sick-worried about the price of stocks (literally- it's a common sickness amongst them), they have amazingly high rate of suicide, and their job does no good for the general public.

And yet? Prostitutes are still the morally corrupt ones. “Morally corrupt” is actually the funniest thing I’ve heard about the prostitutes. Moral- what moral? Corrupt- what part of it? Morally corrupt is that F*&$ing policeman who hits a black guy because he’s black. Morally corrupt is the owner of the Starbucks for paying shit for the coffee beans they buy, morally corrupt is the 17 year old who doesn’t pay a prostitute after doing the job. Morally corrupt is not the prostitute who has chosen or forced to have sex for money. What happened to dear North American "autonomy"- my body, my will? Or autonomy is passé when it gets to a job that is female dominated? Why is prostitution more stigmatized than drug dealing? I don’t understand. Why do we make prostitutes to be ashamed of what they do, while their work is vital to the society?

    2. Are you sure prostitution is female dominated?

  • It's a time that I think, maybe for a society prostitution is a matter of necessity. What bothers me, is when I assume myself to be a girl, who cannot find any better way to earn her life, than prostitution.
    Maybe it is due to the way I was brough up, but I think that I want to have sex with only one man at a time. And I guess many women have the same feeling. So, from this viewpoint, I do not agree with prostitution. It is not fair for a woman to be a townswoman.

  • I have done my homework!
    See bellow link to find out more (in a neutral perspective) about the roots, history, different types of prostitution, Socio-economic and legal status of prostitution, from Hierodules (Religious prostitution) to Sex tourism, sex-slaves, human trafficking, ...etc.
    I personally believe this is a subject that societies cannot avoid since it's linked to human's most primitive instinct (sex).

    Besides, I think NOBODY is morally clean enough to judge others' morales! ... everyone has some shortcomming in their life or personality(ies!), that's why we are all dumped here on Earth -an imperfect world- anyway!... isn't it so? ... ;) ... LOL!
    Cheers!

  • This topic evokes strong feelings and represents the crude realities and the overall hollow nature of existence.

    Very nicely written and conveys the true feelings. Dont want to go overboard by commenting more on it. Totally appreciate the concern and thought.
