Prostitution

[Mantis]

What do you think about it ? Should we legalize it such as Germany and Holland or should it stay Illegal.

For my part, i think that prostitution is a big problem through out the world becuz of the fact that capitalism is the reigning governement and that poor people have no way of becoming rich. To them, have to give their but out on the road gives them more money then if they just found a shitt* job. So what is that should be done ... +

[Awesomo]

I Don't know, morallity-wise, I would say it should be banned, because I believe sex should only be used for baby-making
Entertainment-wise, I would say, make it legal for it would be really funny to see, "Whore, Inc. Now hiring" on the side of the street.

[Darksage]

In countries like India it's there most profitable business... I think it's one of the most disgusting things the human race has ever conceived.

[Turaizuru-san]

I don't agree with it, and I would never condone it...but I'm also not the kind of person to say that my way is the correct way for everybody.

Also...sex ONLY for baby-making? Ouch...

[Awesomo]

I'm very easy to please, I'm not up for going back and forth for twenty minutes in order to gain pleasure.

[Turaizuru-san]

Wait...is that a bad thing?!

But seriously, there's more to sex than just "baby-making". Just as there's more to it than "going back and forth for twenty minutes to gain pleasure".

Just my humble opinion ;)

[Awesomo]

I know, It just could be that I'm really lazy and care about other things but, to each his/her own.

[bakafish007]

Wait...is that a bad thing?!

Just my humble opinion ;)

oh come on! what's so great about it? it's just two naked bodies rubbing together for an hour or so. it's just an animalistic urge we haven't overcome.
going back to the topic, it should be illegal because:
a) it's immoral
b) you're having women sell themselves just so they can survive in this world, and nobody deserves to live like that on this world of ours.
c) sex is an intimate thing between two people who care for each other. just doing it in a cold, heartless manner destroys that reason altogether.
d) it's rape, pure and simple.

[Nori]

Hell no to legalizing it.

1. It's extremely immoral.
2. It makes the human body seem like someone's toy.

[Alister]

Yes to legalizing it. I'd rather see someone, possibly a single mother with a child, make money in this way than to see her living on the street with a child eating trash. bakafish, you said no one deserves a life in that line of work. You think they deserve a life of starving instead?

I watched a show a while back where in they interviewed a bunch of prostitutes about why they do it, etc. Many of them were young, and were doing it to have money for college. A few said that during the day they go to medical school. Several said they had a child, and working elsewhere wouldn't give them enough money to support themself, the child, and have enough money to create a better life in the future.

They talked about places where it is legal, and said it is far safer there, as the prostitutes don't have to hide from police, etc, thus don't have to work in 'bad places' in order to not get caught. Also, the police can watch out for the prostitutes, and there were other measures set up to prevent murders, etc.

For these reasons, I would legalize it. Sure, it isn't exactly the nicest thought, but should strip clubs be banned? Girls there make tons of money, over a thousand a night in some cases. In the aforementioned show, they also talked about this, and many were doing it for the same reasons - school, to support themselves/child, etc.

But again, is it not more immoral to condemn those who are unfortunate enough not to be able to get a job at McDonalds, or for whom a McDonalds salary just isn't enough, than to allow them to make a living?

[Darksage]

It's a pretty disgusting way to make money IMO. . . and I dont see how ANYONE cant get a job at McDonald's

[Alister]

HAI WELCOME TO MCDONALDS CAN I TAKE YOUR ORDER PLZ

As said, maybe McDonalds wage is not enough. A prostitute can make several hundred dollars in the '20 minutes of moving back and forth', can choose her clients, etc.

[Darksage]

yeah I know but it just seems so. . . retarded. It's like selling your body to a random person (who could give you an STD). I could always ask why the hell they have a kid if they donthave a job (or why they cant just take out loans for college) but meh their life I'm not a judge

[Alister]

Yeah, anyone can give you an STD. Whatever girl you most likely like could give you an STD...

As said, however, prostitutes can (in general) choose their clients, thus it is not like some hobo-looking-guy will be sleeping with a prostitute (in general). Condoms are also used, which can help prevent against STDs.

Many people make a bad choice in life, or have been sexually abused by parents or otherwise, etc. Tons of girls don't make the 'choice' to have a baby. If you see a 16 year old with a child, you should not judge her as 'lolslut' or whatever.

[hertza_heaon]

i really think alister makes a big point. and i really agree with him. uhh but yeah nothing else to add...

[Darksage]

Yeah I know, I'm not making generalizations. I live in NYC man, I've seen everything. there're at least 3 girls in my high school that are pregnant/have kids, one was a freakin freshman. I know it's not always their choice. But the government and some other organizaiton do help out. They can provide you with food and day care and all that, some people just have a pride thing and dont want help. Which I can understand, but turning down free help and becoming a prostitute doesnt make sense to me. Put the baby up for adoption. Ask your family (duh should be the first people a girl would go to) for help and assisttance. i'm saying there are other ways, just because becoming a prostitute seems like a more convenient way to make money doesn't mean it's the one you should choose. But then again I'm not a girl so what the hell do I know. Maybe they're just really horny and one guy isnt enough for thhem.

[enolex]

*nobody yell at me its just my point of view*
i think that if a human being needs money and is willing to do anything to do it other then mass murder then they should be aloud to do it. if a women (or man *cough*) is willing the have sex or do oral sex they should be a loud (not a conversation for young ones eh) besides its there choice to do it, its not like rape or anything

[Mantis]

I agree with Alister

However DS, maybe in NYC they help,but do you think in india malaysia and indonesia they do so. Those countries were proved to contains the most prostitutes in the world. Then what should they do. And even worse if their parents died or rejected them what are their solutions. I think personnaly its better to do prostitution then to become a drug dealer, or someother illegal activity

[Kimeru]

Dude, DS, all you say is really cute-n-all, but do you think that, playing along and pretending the government would open their pockets and help all of them, that money would be enough? I don't think so.

I'm agreeing with Alister. He's a smart man. Anyways, this is sort of more a cultural deal, and since I come from a different culture and all... I wouldn't really know how things are in the USA.

[Jester]

I also say yes to legalizing it. It's the person's own body. And why do people suddenly think about all female prostitues? There are male prostitutes as well. Personally, I think that someone should start a business, give ho's rights, stop the slapping, and put condoms on our...well, you know.

[Mantis]

Well just imagine here in my country. Youre not allowed to have a girl friend basically. Serioussly. If a cop catches you kissing a girl in your car or on the road you ll go to jail. You need to be married to do that . Imagine. What kills me is that there are strip clubs, night clubs and all that crap and they say nothing, and to kiss your girlfriend... It was ounce my older sister who's 25 is married she was in the car after the restaurant kissing JUst that. a police man came and asked for their papers to prove theyre married lol was just so funny hahah. anyways just to show how law can go in some countries like mine ....

[bakafish007]

I'm not the kind of person who says that alister, so don't instigate things like that.
I know what you're saying, because several girls i know in my classes are strippers. but the only reason they work like that is because they want to finish college as soon as possible, rather than take their time and attend without taxing their finances. they just simply want the diploma and get out. does getting a diploma mean you are a qualified person, or knowing things that benefits their career and their future companies? my teacher was telling me about this lab assistant he hired who had a PHD, and handled the lab in a most dangerous manner, like leaving ammonia besides HCl in open containers. he was hired solely for his degree, but was fired because he was a danger. also, while they won't earn as much by working at a McDonald's, they have the same problems facing those on minimum wage. they have to work from dusk till dawn to earn that money, as opposed to working 8 hours at a regular job to get the same money. also, any injury can seriously hamper their ability to work. because they work like that, they are bound, like those on minimum wage, to their jobs, and missing even a day off will cost them dearly. Morgan Spurlock demonstrated the pitfalls of those on minimum wage by living on minimum wage himself. the same problems exist for prostitutes and strippers. and don't say insurance covers them, because a lot of the girls in my classes told me that they just get the cheapest, crappiest insurance just to save money so they can pay for the tuition. if they do get injured, then they are screwed by the system they tried to get around.

Dude, DS, all you say is really cute-n-all, but do you think that, playing along and pretending the government would open their pockets and help all of them, that money would be enough? I don't think so.

that is true, about the culture thing. back home, if a woman was discovered as a prostitute, she's not really blamed. rather her family and the community is blamed because they didn't take the time to help her.

[digi ace 229]

I can't say that I aprove or disapove of prositution. Both sides of the arguement are convincing but as I understand it, some would say it is "Evil". But at the sametime it is a somewhat nessacery evil. And yes I qouted that off one the manga I read over the summer.

BTW: I am Ace, I just joined, but couldn't find the introduction forum

[Al3x]

I Don't know, morallity-wise, I would say it should be banned, because I believe sex should only be used for baby-making
Entertainment-wise, I would say, make it legal for it would be really funny to see, "Whore, Inc. Now hiring" on the side of the street.
Baby making, lol. Weird choice of words, you could have just said to populate the world.

I think it should be legal in a sense. No prostitues on the streets with Pimps, just put em all in a brothel and give em tests each week to see if they've got any STD's or such.

I wouldn't actually go through with having sex with one of em, that's just silly, it'd just be good to get em off the street cos they are such dogs.

[lavendar]

It's the oldest profession in the world it's going to go on legal or not. At least legally they can put in mandates like routine drug testing, and medical testing, require the use of birth control so that there aren't tons of unwanted children, even provide for those that end up the victims of crime. Sure a lot of women turn to prostitution because they haven't got anything else which is bs in the US anyway because every state has a workforce or unemployment program that will pay for education or find work for you somewhere eventually and if not they have other programs to assist economically challenged people.

[ieatgluexxx]

meh...whatever happens behind closed doors is other people's business. Drugs...prostitution. As long as it isnt hurting me or my family i dont care. When it starts getting out of hand though and spreading into suburban neighborhoods and getting children involved, we have to draw the line. There have to be some restrictions, but besides that i'm ok with it.

[Timo]

It's interesting how anyone, with an argument that is compelling enough, can sway the opinions of so many. I personally began reading this thread and thinking, "maybe I should defend prostitution, since there is so much good that can be found in it". Then I saw Alister's argument and saw that someone had already accurately fought that side. So now I come to fight against it. Believe you me, I know that there are a lot of people who sell their bodies for the right reasons. But in the end, they are still selling their bodies and that's what we have to look at.

No society is perfect. The government, as much as we want it to, will probably never be able to take care of everyone who is ruled under it simply for the fact that people are born at a now exponential rate. You see a person having three or four kids, those kids going on to have three or four kids, and the cycle continues so that there is never enough to go around. It's as simple as that.

Taking advantage of a natural desire, that being sex, is seen as an alternative for those whom aren't able to get those resources. If you can make money to feed your children, get an education, and try to make a life for yourself, why not do it by exploiting such a desire?

It's actually quite simple; it is wrong. Especially in American society, there has been such a desensitization on these kinds of matters that we often question ourselves whether such means should be acceptable. But why are we only looking at it now? Don't you think people in the past also attempted to sell their bodies to make a living? Of course they did. And they too were wrong.

Prostitution is an immoral act. Pushing aside some of the strongest evidence (religious) so that anyone, no matter their beliefs, can see it we all know that there are certain things that are simply not correct. Sex has been regarded as a unifying act for centuries, as early as man was created. It is the manner in which most animals reproduce and sparks an incredibly complex chain of events for such a simple action. It is also an act that creates a unique bond between the two people who participate in it. Most people, though some act like it, would not have sex with every member of the opposite sex simply because it is an enjoyable act.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what prostitution is. Not only that, but while we look at the women and men who offer their bodies we must also look at the people who are buying. The married who break their union for an evening of fun; the depressed who have nothing left to look forward to and want to just blow all their cash; the addicted who have families to take care of yet crave sex so badly that they go and spend their weekly pay checks on random sexual favors.

I believe that because of all this, prostitution should never be legalized. We are talking about allowing people to sell their bodies in order to get by. Yes, some people believe that it is a "necessary evil" that we must take. However, is it really a "necessary evil" or just a cheap cop-out where you're doing something that takes no experience so the person can make a quick buck. What if I wanted a new pair of sneakers, but didn't feel like working for them? I could just sell myself out in prostitution until I had enough for the sneakers I want in three different colors.

It's a bit of a rant but in the end, you can see where I'm going with this. There are other ways to provide for your family or make enough to support a child. It may take a lot of work but if you took a chance and became a parent or if you're stuck in any situation which is unfavorable simply on an economic level, then there are ways to work hard and fight to live comfortably without having to sell yourself and potentially ruin, not only your body and moral structure, but also potentially risk someone else's. It's just not right.

[Alister]

I see your point, however when you say "there are other ways," "you took a chance," etc, that can be countered entirely with what I've said above. What if someone was raped, or more or less just put into a situation which they could not get out of, and thus ended up having a baby that was not a choice they made?

Please, name a better way to try to better yourself than to put your child to bed, go out and do some night courses at a university, then spend 2 or 3 hours giving handjobs so that for a week, your baby and yourself will be able to live comfortably.

An 8 hour shift at McDonalds would yield far less cash than probably 1 hour of prostitution. This leaves more time for your child and for attemtping to better yourself.

If people have no viable reason to 'whore themselves out' other than to make a quick buck, then of course I agree with you, but in circumstances as mentioned above, I can't think of any other/better way.

[ieatgluexxx]

I honestly do not know if this is a decision a man can make. Most male 'hosts' choose their jobs because, thats what they want to do. but as many people have pointed ouit, including ALi, Prostitution is often the best way for an uneducated woman to provide for their children when they have a dead-beat dad. Only a woman could understand the dilemma facing female prostitutes. I dont know about men, but for women, sex is a very intimate and personal experience and I dont think anyone would enter into the business of selling one's self unless they had a very good reason for it (or where just plain addicted to sex...).

All i am saying is, if there is a better way for women to make the cash they need AND be an active parent in their child's life, i'd like someone to point that out to me. As for the argument that it is immoral, what's more, having your children stay at home while your working your ass off at a job that can't even buy them their shoes? Or, staying with your kids throughout the day, putting them to sleep and going off to do a few bjs etc. etc. for a few hours, coming back to your kids who are probably still asleep?

What's best for the kids.

And then some may say, not all prostitutes have kids. It may not be kids, it may be sick parents, or maybe selling themselves is the only skilled labor they can do...

oh jeez...i digress.

Woman should have power over their bodies. You dont have to BUY into Prostitution if you dont like it. But it, like abortion, is a decision personal to only women. But i think for prostitution to function in our society, it has to stay isolated and in the dark.

(i shouldnt ramble should i?)

[wancs1]

meh...whatever happens behind closed doors is other people's business. Drugs...prostitution. As long as it isnt hurting me or my family i dont care. When it starts getting out of hand though and spreading into suburban neighborhoods and getting children involved, we have to draw the line.

its true what does not effect you dont concern you, but the matter is when it comes to your neighbourhood then you take action? prevention is better than cure, snip it at the roots and it will never see the day,

your arguement is strong, but i think we have to proactive than passive and wait for things to happened. for me its 100% no to legalize prostitution.

[L]

Prostitution will remain alive forever.

As long as there are 35 year old men that don't find their wives attractive anymore, prostitution will reign...

[CK]

An 8 hour shift at McDonalds would yield far less cash than probably 1 hour of prostitution. This leaves more time for your child and for attemtping to better yourself.



Sad thing is hes right
But you will have less of a chance of going to jail and being someone else prostitute, than you would working at mcdonalds

[Kimeru]

Aye. And hence, I support abortion in cases such as rape.

In terms of efficiency, prostitution would probably be more efficient. But in the same way robbing a bank for quick money because you have a kid and dropped out of school, while it may be efficient, it's still wrong.

But before I even type any more, I need to confirm your argument. I think based you'd view prostitution as "acceptable" if it was being done by an unsuccessful person, right?

[CK]

In McDonald's, you're basically your boss' prostitute. So, even. =P



Meh yea your right
its not fun at all to work in a resturant

[Alister]

Indeed, I think that if there is no other/better way for the person to cover their costs, then it is acceptable.

Obviously I wouldn't approve of someone being a high-paid doctor by day and a prostitute at night, though.

like what avarice said, like abortion, just because it isn't legal doesn't mean it wont happen. If anything, the government shoudl legalize it with restrictions so that they can monitor the trade, as oppose to it being an underground op. where people could REALLY get hurt. If the government had control over it, we could ensure that prostitutes were getting their fair share and not loosing everything to gigolos (sp?).

There are quite a few views on that. Social Darwinism, for example: If you aren't successful, it's because you're weak. Everybody these days wants the quickest and easiest solution to every problem they have, and thsi is why they are weak. Though I do understand what you're saying, it will never happen., The government (any government) cannot simply say "those of you who are unfortunate have the right to sell your bodies for cash, but those of you who are successful cannot" because that would be discrimination. And though what you say is true, the pay is high and it is easy money, the government legalizing it would open the door for anyone with an overdue loan or just an uncontrollable sex crave to become a prostitute.

[ieatgluexxx]

Obviously I wouldn't approve of someone being a high-paid doctor by day and a prostitute at night, though.

Interesting that you say that. I actually watched something about that on primetime online a few days ago. It's an interesting argument, is it REALLY wrong for woman with good jobs to moonlight occasionally as a prostitute? Is that so wrong?

I dont know you tell me!

[Darksage]

Yeah thats what I was getting into, I think that would be discrimination

[ieatgluexxx]

wait. you think THATS discrimination? You think that denying someone their hobby of prostitution is worse than letting someone make a career out of it?

[Alister]

There are ways to make laws that discriminate in ways that are not illegal.

A 3 year old can't drive, for example.

[Timo]

I wish I could get to this thread more often.. it'd certainly make it easier to debate.

Anyways, on the subject of rape, it is very unlikely that a women is in an economic situation that is highly unfavorable, without any friends or family that can help, and with very little education. This, added, on to the fact that many women who are raped do not become pregnant, make the small percentage of women you are trying to defend a very small portion of women who are actually prostitutes. The sentence structure is weird there, I know, but basically I'm saying that very few prostitutes are under these conditions.

Furthermore, many of the women who are raped and have children are generally in the business of selling their bodies to begin with, whether it be prostitution, stripping, or otherwise. Legalizing prostitution would only increase the number of rapes, especially if the government did not provide adequate support to those willing to take up the job.

Prostitutes will always be around, that is certain, but keeping it illegal will make it less appealing for the every day woman to become a prostitute and will prevent women from becoming just as you described; trying to get an education, raise a child, and do it all by herself.

I also reiterate the role of the person who is being serviced, as prostitutes tend to be summoned by men who are already married, with children, or people who have little money to begin with. Just as with gambling, it becomes a destructive habit that can ruin people, only instead of having a chance to win something at the end of it all, the person simply uses someone else for pleasure.

There's just too much at stake here when you're talking about legalizing prostitution. You'd be endangering more people than you'd be helping and one has to look at the effects, both good and bad. The bad simply outweigh the good and, as a few people have mentioned, even if it remains illegal there will still be people doing it. Therefore, keeping it as it is allows women to risk the act if they really feel there's no other way, while keeping other women who may want to do it safe and not putting them at risk of getting raped or having to then depend on prostitution as a means of income.

[L]

Depends on your morals.

Dunno why it's illegal though, I think adults should be able to make their own decisions on whether to sleep with someone they absolutely don't know or not.

Both people might be at risk, but that comes with the job, just as factory workers get carpal over certain periods of time.

People just need to use their judgement, that's all the world will really come down to.

[ieatgluexxx]

i'm with you jack. I just think that if it has to happen, the government might as well benefit off of it by legalizing it, which allows them to tax it, and which also allows the prostitutes to have certyain gov. sanctioned rules and "a prostitute's bill of rights" to protect them.

[CK]

why dont we look at porn and prostituation as the same thing
cause they are selling there bodys just in dvd form

[ieatgluexxx]

i have the same feeling about porn. the gov should benefit from it by taxing it, since its GONNA happen, but to do that they first have to pass legislation for it.

[Darksage]

wait. you think THATS discrimination? You think that denying someone their hobby of prostitution is worse than letting someone make a career out of it?
Yes, exactly. it's not discrimination because it's being allowed (duh?)

@Alister: Because a 3-year old can't reach the pedals and the steering wheel at the same time.

One of the functions of government is to promote social standards. A legal age for drving is one of them. So is making (keeping) prostitution illegal

[ieatgluexxx]

wait, i still dont follow you. So do you think women should have prostitution as a hobby?

One of the functions of government is to promote social standards. A legal age for drving is one of them. So is making (keeping) prostitution illegal
Exactly

im agreeing with the last statement

i have totally lost sight of your guy's position on the issue. If your against prostitution, your against it in all forms right?

[Crescent Moon]

To be honest, I could care less whether it's legal or illegal. Some people argue that it's immoral, but so are other forms of sexual acts like stripping, pornography, ect. I'm not saying it's right, I just think there are worse things out there that we should focuss on getting off the street than prostitution.

theres worse things than stds?
wow i didnt know such a thing exsited

If you don't want STDs, don't touch them. If they don't like STDs, they won't touch you. So no, you don't have to worry about them. You can even catch them from a girlfriend, for that matter. Your ironic tone doesn't make you sound any smarter.
