Prostitutes must have a special place in Heaven.

Prostitutes. male or female, are products of abuse by our societies. These young people come out of homes where physical, mental and sexual abuse has occurred. They are basically forced from their environment to the streets.
The societal response to these abused people is rather strange. We create them and then use our police and laws to further abuse our sons and daughters legally. We do provide social services on occasion but most of our response is negative. We drive them to a lifestyle of drugs and slavery under pimps and use police to try to hide our own shame in a forgotten jail cell.
What should people do. Having created this trade, should we now use them and abuse them more or should we let them starve or find some other criminal activity in order to live.
Are we paying them for our gratification or is the payment to ease our conscience for creating them.
Do some of us use them with compassion because we recognize that they are our creation? Or am I trying to justify their existence. In countries where poverty is rampant and children are sold by their own parents, can it be said that this is good in order to maintain a family structure. Is it OK to go to some of these places of poverty and contribute to their economy. Not availing ourselves of this product do we help the country to stay poor.
The same weird situation exists where child labor occurs. If we do not buy the carpet woven by the eight year old, does his family then go hungry.
There is good and evil in everything, can we clear up the view of this problem and know the best course of action?
Does survival of the fittest include the ability to use and abuse our own children. We tend to continue with these unsightly customs regardless of the wealth of a given nation. Would wealth and education put an end to these practices? It appears not.
Question for debate.
Is it better to avail one’s self of the services of a prostitute to help them survive, or is there a better way.
Please do not say things like ending poverty without telling us how.
Impossible solutions are not solutions.

I think you are wrong in assuming prostitutes to be victims, young, and junkies. Certainly, some are. Certainly, not all are.

Prostitution is a job, just like making clothes. You don't assume that all workers who make clothes are child laborers in sweatshops, do you?

A prostitute is essentially no different from any other laborer. They are exchanging the service of their minds and bodies for a wage. It is a virtue under most systems of morals to work hard for your pay. Unfortunately, under the dominant systems of morals, sex is a sin.

You do have a point in that society compounds its ill-treatment of them and takes advantage of them.

The only real abuse of prostitutes in general is the way they are treated because what they do is condemed by the dominant religions. That is religion's forte; Creating a category of sin that allows its members to cluck their tongues at others who don't share their beliefs. It's fine for women to marry wealthy men without love, but "god forbid" the transaction be boiled down to its basic form as a cash for sex exchange.

Legalize it. Sure, it won't solve everything, and your average streetwalker will still exist as a "discount" hooker for desperate men, but I can think of no better way to help prostitutes than to decouple them from the drug trade and other forms of organized crime.

So legalize it, and make it licensed and monitored by the local health department.
 
Amen to that.

I saw the OP title, and thought, "if you don't know what to do with a prostitute by now, you probably don't need to know yet."

Not to insult but if your child is a dentist you would likely avail yourself of his or her services. Is your cavalier thinking saying that you wold avail yourself as easily if your child turned to prostitution.

No insult meant but I have already heard some quick reversals of your comments.

The last statistics I saw showed 40% of prostitutes were abused in the home. Fathers only slightly less than stepfathers.

Many would just smoke it away.
Further charity would be a further abuse adding to their feelings of worthlessness.

Not the answer but thanks.

You asked if there was a better way to help them than using their services.

I suggested that giving them the money and not using their services is better than the option you gave. You disagree. Please explain why having sex with them for money is better.


Note: I never said I had the answer I just suggested a better way

I am beginning to agree but that does not stop the abuse at home.

I am not saying that using their services is better, I am saying that your way would not work.
Just looking for insight.
