Is anyone okay with prostitution?

I know some sex workers, and I have friends as well as a partner that have/had seen call girls on a fairly regular basses. It doesn’t bother me. I know it does bother a lot of people. My question is if you are unattached, and there for not hurting anyone by doing it, do you think seeing a prostitute is _always_ bad?

I am pretty open sexually, I get the strip club, thing, i am on board and understand the use of porn...

Prostitution tho....NO...I don't get it, I don't agree with it, I think it is desperate and disgusting. Why would anyone pay for a women or man to sleep with them?!?!

I think it speaks volumes on a persons view of sex and women in general.

I think it is dirty and despicable

Ugh. I see them walk by my street at night sometimes. I would be emberassed walking around like that.

 

I think both being a prostitute and being the one who pays them is morally wrong and really disgusting. I couldn't be okay with myself knowing I've slept with looooads of guys to get cash. Not to mention the diseases I could be getting. Ewwwwh. Ugh. BAH.

In a pure transactional sense....no.

 

In terms of what MAY be driving the transaction....sometimes yes.

 

 

I agree there. But I also don't like the things that may be driving the transactions with Lawyers and politicians, I know that it _can_ be degrading for women and men, but I feel like recently as I have know more girls who work that way that there are happy healthy ways to be a sex worker.

happy healthy ways?!?! really...if you wouldn't mind sharing...how does a woman who is being paid to provide a sexual service walk away filling fulfilled and like she made a difference at the end of her work day?

I can't speak from personal experience but of the women I know who do it, it is about healing thru sex and love. You give people pleasure and joy. I know lots of people who would walk away from a job that gives people pleasure and joy feeling good about the work they just did. But I obviously think differently then some.

Yes, it is always bad.

 

It screams desperate.

 

And as far as the woman, most of them I am sure have diseases, and they have absolutely no respect for themselves.

 

If I found out someone I was dating saw a prostitute even once in their life that would be a deal breaker for me. Even if they were single and it was years ago. It is just so disgusting.

It is not really relevant to my life, but it's a part of the way the world is and whether we like it or not, it's going to happen. I think it would be better if it was legal, but regulated as in some counties in Nevada. I watched a documentary on it one time - strict health regulations and all that really make a difference. Of course if it were legal everywhere and there were health codes and stuff there would still be an underground 'black market' type thing going on, but it would take away some of the stigma and a lot of the risk if you went somewhere reputable.

It's a service...you've got your masseuses, mechanics, maids, chefs, chauffeurs, dog-walkers, whatever. If somebody wants to pay somebody to have sex with them, in my eyes it's not really that different. You don't find the idea palatable? Don't do it. You want to fix your own car, difficult and time-consuming though it may be, rather than shelling out money to get somebody to fix it for you? Go for it.

It's unfortunate that these taboos are ground into our brains from the day we're born, but you can as an individual challenge your own pre-conceived notions. To each their own I say.

some people have needs that can't be fulfilled through a standard relationship.I think legalized prostitution that is regulated through the government is ok

I have no problem with prostitution when the conditions are what you describe. However, I have known a few "girls" as I used to work in my bf's law office. and let me tell you, they have a hard life and it is definitely not "easy money" by any means. A couple of them are dead now.

You wrong about that. Sex and love is incredible healing, ask tons of men and women on this board. I think we have all been healed by sex and love. But if you really want to say it isn't that is okay to. But it's healing for me and I think a lot of others. And I said in my first post I was talking about unattached men. Seeing a hooker is cheating if you’re with someone and of cheating is a painful thing for everyone.

Also, sex is degrading?? Since when? If there is abuse going on, and somebody is being forced to do something against their will, then yes. But the acts in themselves are not degrading.

It is very unfortunate that there are people out there being forced into prostitution, and the horrible conditions they are forced to live in. In the world we live in it is impossible to scour poverty and drugs and all the other factors away, but with a legally regulated system it would help those that are prostitutes - or whatever you want to call them - by their own will, or not against it at any rate. People are going to do what people are going to do regardless.

It provides a service. Some would say a necessary service.

 

It's a hazardous job, to be sure, but if it were regulated (like in Nevada) instead of illegal, those hazards could be minimized some. Mandatory health screenings for the workers, mandatory condom usage for the patrons and so forth.

 

On some level it's more palatable to me to think a guy who wanted sex could go and pay a (regulated/licensed) professional for it rather than trying to seduce some random woman he happened to meet.

 

Is it a job I'd want for myself? No. I really don't like working with people...and that seems to be a main feature of that particular job.

 

Is it a service I'd use myself? No. If I was a guy, I might feel differently about that.

If I was dating a guy that had used such a service...if he's got a clean bill of health and he's not continuing to use it once we're in a committed relationship...not an issue for me. In some ways a few reliable "pros" in a guy's past might be preferable to "crazy psycho one night stand chick."

It is sick and wrong whether or not you are single or committed. The reason I say this is because I am in a situation where it is a very bad thing. When I was living on my own at 16, after being molested for 14 years, I could have turned to prostitution but I didn't, why because I have self worth. I would rather be with someone I get to choose instead of how much they would pay me. Not to mention a@@holes lie about whether they are married or not. DUH! Sorry very sore subject for me but wanted to add my two cents. roflmao thanks that was the first time I have laughed in like a week.

How much of that comes about because it's illegal and not regulated like other hazardous jobs, though?

these things dont happen because its illegal, these things happen because women who sleep with 10 men a night to make a living and buy dope and crack are looked down upon as subhuman. No one who sleeps with a prostitute can say they respect them in any way shape or form. They put themselves out there to be screwed, came in, pissed on and knocked back out of the car. you can't beautify something this ugly i'm sorry.

But if i were to choose a lesser evil i'd say 'yeah lets just all have hooker houses that regulate it'

But you have to accept that you will still have streetwalkers anyway. Hell its illegal NOW and its rampant! Laws are only for those who abide by them.
